Under One Person: I am the Master of Maoshan

On this day at the end of November, the brigade headquarters’ order was officially issued, notifying Li Yunlong and others to officially take up their posts in the New 11st Regiment.

Li Yunlong selected a dozen combat backbones from the Third Battalion, and they all disguised themselves and set off for the New First Regiment. Shen Yan looked like a rich kid, which made Li Yunlong very jealous.

"Damn it, Xiao Shen, do you know? Back then, our Lao Li was also a famous handsome young man in the surrounding area. You have some of my style back then."

Shen Yan sneered: "Captain, who would believe you if you told others about this?"

Li Yunlong slapped his head and said, "My head is the result of my training in the threshing field. A bluestone slab the width of a palm can be broken into two pieces with one blow from my head."

Li Yunlong made Shen Yan laugh out loud. They walked along the narrow path, talking and laughing. After walking for a while, Shen Yan found a checkpoint designed by the puppet army at the junction ahead.

Shen Yan asked in a low voice: "Captain, the cart we are pushing is full of weapons. Should we charge over? I don't think there are many puppet soldiers in this group."

Li Yunlong also waited for a while: "Go forward slowly and wait and see what happens."

Everyone slowed down and strolled forward. A burly man with his hands in his arms walked quickly past Shen Yan and others.

"Stop, what are you doing?" Two puppet soldiers stopped him.

The big man smiled apologetically and said, "Sir, my mother is sick and is anxious for me to go home. Please be kind and let me pass." After saying that, he forced his way forward.

The puppet soldier in front of him raised his gun and said, "Don't move. Did I let you go?"

The big man raised his hands and said with grievance: "Sir, I am a good citizen. If you don't believe me, search me."

"I have the final say on whether you are a good citizen or not," the puppet soldier said and began to search his body.

After finding nothing on him, they took off his hat. The puppet soldiers looked at him with a mocking look on their faces: "You are a soldier, and there are marks on your head from the military cap."

Then he shouted to the two puppet soldiers beside him: "Bring him in and send him to the lady for the reward."

At this moment, the big man's eyes suddenly became sharp. He took off the bayonet from the opponent's rifle and stabbed him to death.

Shen Yan whispered in Li Yunlong's ear: "Captain, do you want me to take action?"

Li Yunlong said with a smile: "Let's take a look"

The big man swung the bayonet in his hand and hit a puppet soldier in the throat. Then he picked up the gun from the ground, knelt down and skillfully loaded the gun and shot a puppet soldier in the distance. But at this time, a puppet soldier on his right had already raised his gun.

At this critical moment, Shen Yan hurriedly raised his hand, pierced the puppet soldier's forehead with a silver needle, and then swung his left hand to shoot two silver needles to eliminate the remaining two puppet soldiers.

The big man let out a long breath and stood up from the ground.

Li Yunlong and others also walked up. The big man clasped his hands and said, "Thank you all for your help. My name is Zhang Dabiao. May I ask what your names are?"

"I am Li Yunlong, the commander of the New 1st Regiment of the National Eighth Route Army."

Zhang Dabiao stood up in awe and said: "Sir, I am also a soldier. The 29th Army on the Marco Polo Bridge is my unit, and I am the lieutenant deputy company commander."

Li Yunlong was full of praise after hearing this: "Great skill, the 29th Army's big knife team is indeed worthy of its reputation."

Zhang Dabiao grinned and looked at Shen Yan: "What's your name, little brother? Just now I saw you kill a puppet soldier with just a raise of your hand, and without making any sound. May I ask how you did it?"

Shen Yan thought that he was being quite presumptuous, so he bowed with a smile on his face, and without saying his name, he casually took out a thin silver needle and showed it to him.

"I admire you, master."

Because of Shen Yan's special identity, Li Yunlong interrupted him: "Brother, you were in the 29th Army, how did you end up here?"

Zhang Dabiao sighed: "To be honest, the 29th Army blocked the Japanese invaders at Lugou Bridge, and my troops were dispersed. I went to several places to find the Central Army, but I couldn't find it. I had no choice but to drift to the Shanxi area."

Li Yunlong nodded: "You are such a stubborn person. It doesn't matter where you kill the devils. Come with me and fight the Eighth Route Army."

Zhang Dabiao hesitated a little: "Sir, I want to try the Central Army. The Eighth Route Army fought the Japanese without hesitation and won a great victory at Pingxingguan. I also heard that there was a soldier named Shen Yan in the Eighth Route Army who killed more than 200 cavalrymen by himself. But the Central Army's equipment is good, and the Eighth Route Army's equipment is too poor."

Li Yunlong glared and said, "Damn it, you are blind. Let me make a bet with you. If you win, you will join me as an Eighth Route Army soldier. If I lose, I will give you travel expenses and tell you where the Central Army is."

Zhang Dabiao gritted his teeth and said, "Let's bet. Sir, what do you want to bet on?"

Li Yunlong pointed to the puppet army base in the distance and said, "I'm betting with you that with a dozen of us, we can capture the puppet army base and confiscate their equipment."

"Okay, sir, give me your stuff too, I'll help."

Shen Yan and his men brought their best men to the stronghold, which was actually the larger Jinfeng Courtyard. Li Yunlong winked at Shen Yan.

Shen Yan jumped up to the top of the wall. There were only two puppet soldiers guarding the door in the yard, sleeping by the door. Shen Yan threw out two silver needles, making the two faint. Then he landed in the yard and opened the door for everyone.

Several people walked towards the main hall in a swaggering manner. Inside the main hall, the puppet army leader was sitting with his legs crossed, listening to the phonograph. Shen Yan walked into the room with a smile on his face.

When the puppet soldier saw a stranger coming in, he wanted to draw his gun, but Shen Yan held a revolver to his head and said, "Don't move. If you move, I will kill you."

The puppet soldiers knelt on the ground without daring to move. Shen Yan shouted outside, "Captain, come in."

Li Yunlong strode into the room, looked around and said, "You really know how to enjoy yourself. What the hell are you humming to?"

Shen Yan chuckled: "Night Jasmine, sung by Butterfly"

Li Yunlong came to the puppet army leader and said, "Why don't you do something else? Why do you have to be a puppet soldier and lick the Japanese's ass? Tell me about the situation of your base."

The puppet soldiers were so scared that they were sweating profusely: "Sir, these two companies stationed here..."

"Weapons and ammunition"

The puppet soldier stammered, "More than 380 rifles, ten light machine guns, six heavy machine guns, a number of grenade launchers, and a number of bullets."

Li Yunlong smiled after hearing this and said, "Gather your entire battalion and put all your weapons in the yard. I'm going to give you a lecture. If you dare to play tricks, I'll cut your head off immediately."

"Don't dare, don't dare." The puppet army leader stood up, gathered all the personnel, and placed all the weapons in the yard.

Shen Yan stood behind Li Yunlong, and everyone else kept their mouths shut.

Li Yunlong asked: "Are you Chinese?"

A puppet soldier raised his hand and said, "Sir, I am..."

Li Yunlong cursed: "What the hell kind of Chinese are you? Are you Chinese helping the Japanese fight their own people?..."

Li Yunlong cursed for more than ten minutes, and Shen Yan fell asleep while listening to him.

Several puppet soldiers were scolded with red faces: "Sir, we are forced into this situation. Our families are all nearby and we have been forced into a corner by Liu Zhuangzhu. If we stop being puppet soldiers, he will kill our whole family."

Li Yunlong pointed at him and said, "Tell me about it."

It turned out that this place was Liujiazhuang. The owner of Liujiazhuang was a rampant man in the village and knew some martial arts. When the Japanese invaded, he surrendered to the Japanese and became their running dog. More than 300 households in the village were forced by him to become puppet soldiers, and those who refused were slaughtered.

Shen Yan frowned after hearing this, thinking that maybe this Manor Master Liu was a Qi Refiner, so he lowered his voice and said to Li Yunlong: "Captain, now that we have the weapons, let's meet this Manor Master Liu and get some money and food so that everyone in the New First Regiment can have a good New Year."
