I traveled through time, starting with two acres of land and a dog

Everything was normal on their side. Led by two team members, a fat old man who could barely walk was brought in, holding up his long gown. "That's Commander Du. I'm here on behalf of the county assistant commander, the county joint defense brigade, and the county police force to convey an urgent document to Commander Du," the old man said arrogantly as he came in.

"Sir, please take a seat. My master has gone out to inspect the defenses. It is said that many bandits have entered the city, so he went out early in the morning. I guess he will be back soon." This is Wan'er greeting at the door. The old man took a seat and waited.

"What? You're not home yet? Then when will you be back? Send a message to your family's head immediately and tell him that there is urgent official business in the county. You will bear the consequences if you delay official business." The old man sat down and gave Wan'er instructions.

"Yes, sir, I will go and inform you right away. Please wait a moment, sir, and have some tea," Wan'er said politely.

"Excuse me, when will your boss be back?" Twenty minutes later, Wan'er had served tea for the second time, and the old man asked hurriedly.

"Sir, we have already notified the master and he will probably be back soon," Wan'er said politely.

Another twenty minutes passed and the old man was told, "Sir, you cannot pass through here, please go back." He could no longer sit still and was ready to look around, but was stopped by the guards at the door.

"What do you mean? Do you know who I am? You want me, the Yang family's foreign affairs director, to wait for a mere group leader like you." The old man was a little angry.

.......No one responded to the old man's roar.

Another twenty minutes passed. "Who are you? I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting. It's just that our General Du is very busy, and I'm the temporary person in charge here. May I ask if there is anything you need to convey to General Du?" Shen Shiyu walked in slowly from outside and answered, neither humble nor arrogant.

"You...you are so brave. You have kept me here for so long. You will bear all the consequences at your own risk," said the old man a little angrily.

"Oh, I'm really sorry, some bandits came into the city and I was delayed for a long time," Shen Shiyu replied with a smile.

"This is a document issued by the county, and it conveys a message that you have illegally mined coal in the Zhicheng area, occupied the land of local people, and set up private armed forces. You are lawless. Please withdraw from this area immediately. Secondly, the head of the 10th Regiment, Du Zongyi, is lawless and illegally occupied the 8th and 9th Regiments and killed the head of the regiment, Zhou Yun. He is now dismissed from his post and investigated. He must go to the joint defense brigade within two days to accept legal discipline to serve as a warning to others," the old man said with some anger, and took out a piece of paper from his arms, "This is a processing document," he said, and handed the document to Shen Shiyu.

"Yes, yes, we will withdraw from Mashan and make immediate rectifications. We just ask the adults to delay for two days to deal with things here, and then we will withdraw immediately," Shen Shiyu said with a smile.

“Hmph, it’s up to you whether to retreat or not. I’m leaving first.” The old man shook his gown angrily and was about to get up and leave. His every move perfectly demonstrated the image of the Yang family’s dominance in the Baizhang area.

"Then take care, old sir," Shen Shiyu stood up and said politely.

"Master Chenyu, this is a declaration of war," Shen Shiyu brought in the rice paper.

"This is well-written, with a majestic and powerful style," and it's full of complicated arguments and rigorous reasoning, which fully proves that we have committed heinous crimes and are beyond the reach of heaven," he said after browsing through the words "Joint Defense Brigade" written below.

"This delay will delay us for another half an hour. Everyone should hurry up and have lunch. After lunch, take some time to rest and retain your strength. We will probably be fighting in the afternoon," he ordered.

"Report, the Yang family army has set up camp towards us from the Nanyang Mountain base," a communications soldier handed him a pre-war document.

Yang Zaihu, captain of the Yangjia County Joint Defense Battalion, was the commander-in-chief. He gathered more than 1 people from the 2st and 700nd companies of the Joint Defense Battalion and other affiliated teams of the militia, and pressed towards them in a mighty force.

"Go to the mountaintop command post immediately," Du Chenyu said.

"Mr. Chenyu, the command post on the top of the mountain is too close to the enemy, and it's too dangerous there. You'd better stay in the base," said staff officer Zhang Mingqing.

"It's okay, get ready immediately," Du Chenyu ordered in a tone that left no room for discussion.

The command center is located in the fortification, in the underground level of the former watchtower, less than two kilometers away from the front line. It is indeed within the range of mortars. This is because every time concrete and stone are poured, mortars cannot penetrate it, so it is very safe, and the panoramic view can also be observed well from here.

It was called a command post, but in fact it was just a temporary air-raid shelter where Hu Laosi observed the battlefield and issued orders. More than 200 people were distributed and hidden in a 500-meter-long half-slope position. Most of the guards were hiding in trenches, so there was almost one person every two meters. Therefore, the defense was still weak, and the firepower points were set up separately in hidden places.

A large group of people came out from the outskirts of Baizhang City. The distance was too far to see their specific situation clearly, and their equipment and clothing could not be distinguished, but the scale was large, forming a column as long as 3 to 400 meters.

"Listen up, people in the front, we are here to take over the mine and punish the criminals," a loud speaker on the opposite side shouted.

"……" It was quiet on their side, no one showed up, even the roadblocks on the avenue were unattended.

A team of about 10 people separated from the team and began to grope forward. "Try not to shoot, let them enter the position, and send out the escort team to eliminate them at close range. Don't let anyone go back," he ordered.

This team walked very carefully. They approached their position in three directions. This made the 10 enemy soldiers more dispersed. The fastest one was on the main road. Since it was flat and there were no obstacles, they fired sporadically forward with rifles along the way to test whether there was an ambush. They looked very professional and careful, but they remained motionless.

"10 meters, 9 meters, 8 meters, enter the attack circle, go..." The three team members in the front fired first, killing two people with three shots, and the remaining person was instantly captured by the team members who rushed out of the trench.

As soon as the gunshots were heard here, the other two groups had to open fire and kill. Although the distance was still more than 10 meters, the remaining 9 people were knocked down by a series of gunshots. The squad leader who was walking at the end saw something was wrong and immediately ran back. With two "bang, bang", he was also shot dead 20 meters away.

The team failed to resolve the situation in just 10 seconds. There was no wave at all, just “Ouch, ah...ah...help me” and all kinds of shouts and groans were still going on. The only drawback was that they only captured one prisoner. If the special service team or the reconnaissance team was there, this situation would not have happened and most of them could have been captured alive.

The other side was also shocked by their sudden burst of fighting power and did not send anyone to die.

"Uncle Yao, this is what you said, a group of bandits who were just like chickens and dogs. They attacked hastily without being fully prepared, and as a result, one squad went in and no one came back." A young man in a khaki military uniform in the Yang family army was facing the old man who had come to their base to deliver a declaration of war.

"Wenji, don't be angry. When I went to see, there was no one around. There were only a few old men digging the ditch," said the old man.

"This is a trick of others. Du Zongyi recovered the four areas of Beishan in just two or three years and built such a foundation here. This is something that ordinary people can accomplish. Uncle, please step down. If you were not my uncle, I would have brought you to military court for falsely reporting military intelligence," said Yang Zaiwu.

Yang Zaihu's father was frail and sickly, and he was taken care of by his youngest uncle since he was a child. They were also illegitimate children and were not valued. If Yang Zaiwu had not been brave and righteous since childhood, and his martial arts were unmatched among his peers, he and Yang Zaihu, who were running for county councilor, would have been ambushed by them.

"Now that we're here, we can't start well and then fail. We must immediately arrange for the first and second joint defense battalions to launch surprise attacks from both sides and the Tongping Guard to attack from the middle. We'll advance from three directions at the same time. The enemy must not have many people. Only about 200 people arrived last night. The total number of people defending should not exceed 300. Such a long front line is full of loopholes." Yang Zaihu said.

"Boom... Boom..." The enemy's two mortars bombarded several fortifications in their positions, but these exposed fortresses did not have machine guns. The bombardment only injured several team members and killed two team members.

After firing a dozen or so artillery shells, Yang's army launched a full-scale attack. It seemed that the landlords did not have much surplus food and artillery shells.
