Shen Yan didn't answer after hearing this, but took out a bag of dollars and threw it on the ground.

"Brothers, to be honest, our Eighth Route Army is also recruiting soldiers. You have all fought against the Japanese on the battlefield, and anyone who trusts me, Shen Yan, can join us. I promise to treat everyone equally regardless of their background. If you don't trust Shen Yan, here are some dollars, you can take two dollars and go find your original unit. If you have other difficulties and don't want to join the army, just talk to me, Shen Yan, and I will arrange for you to move and live a comfortable life with the money."

The prisoners were all silent. They just looked at Shen Yan silently while holding their dry food, as if they did not believe that he would let them go.

Most of them were forced into the army.

"Captain Shen, are you serious? Are you really going to let us go?"

The captain asked what the soldiers were thinking.

Shen Yan's mouth curled up: "Of course! I, Shen Yan, always keep my word, and we in the Eighth Route Army have a discipline that we will never force anyone."

"I believe you, Commander Shen. I have another question to ask."

"you say"

"Can you really lead us to victory? Will you not abandon me like my previous superiors?"

The captain's eyes were filled with anticipation.

"Good question!"

Shen Yan's voice was as loud as a bell: "You all heard not long ago that the old devil Shinozuka Yoshio set a killing trap against me. I myself have also experienced a huge defeat, but today I can still stand here and twist off the devil's head. I, Shen Yan, am not a god, and I can't lead you to victory in every battle, but I can do that even if I die, I will lead you to die with dignity! If one day you find that I, Shen, have deserted the battlefield, you can just shoot me in the head!"

The captain of the friendly army had tears in his eyes when he heard Shen Yan's words. He was not afraid of death and he longed for victory.

His heart was filled with despair when he was knocked unconscious by a shell and captured.

When he heard in the prisoner-of-war camp that his troops had abandoned them and escaped long ago, his heart died.

But now Shen Yan's words rekindled his desire for victory.

He turned around and faced the soldiers: "Brothers, I believe what Commander Shen said, I will follow the Eighth Route Army!"

"I will follow Commander Shen and kill the devils with the Eighth Route Army."

Everyone responded, and only a few soldiers from the Ninth Army took the money and went back to their original units.

Shen Yan asked Lu Ren and others to organize the team and prepare for retreat, and You Ke ran over at this time.

"Captain, we found the Japanese ammunition depot, and there are a lot of equipment in there that is the same as what they use."

Shen Yan followed him to the ammunition depot, which contained dozens of tactical helmets, tactical vests, a number of German-made MP38 submachine guns, and other guns and ammunition.

"Take them all, don't leave a single bullet behind. When I get back I'll try to form a special forces unit."

......

"Dump Dump"

Guard Hu Zi ran into the regiment headquarters quickly and said, "Captain, there's an old man outside. He said he's here to see Captain Shen. He said he's Captain Shen's master."

"Xiao Shen's master?"

Li Yunlong was a little surprised when he heard this, but he still stood up and went out of the regiment headquarters to greet him.

The old man standing at the door was Master Jin Guang. Yesterday, he received news from his fellow disciple Quan Xing and learned that Shen Yan was looking for him.

He put down what he was doing and went to the independent regiment. He looked at the soldiers around him with his eyes wide open. The two guards on duty were a little scared by his look.

Li Yunlong did not dare to neglect Master Jin Guang when he saw him wearing tattered clothes, and walked over quickly.

"Old man, I am Li Yunlong, the leader of the independent regiment. Are you Xiao Shen's master?"

Master Jin Guang twisted his beard and nodded: "I have heard of you. Where is Shen Yan? The little bastard said he wanted to find me. Where is he? Let him come out to pick me up."

"Old man, Xiao Shen is out on a mission and will probably be back in a while. Please come with me to the regiment headquarters and sit down first."

Master Jin Guang walked into the regiment headquarters without any hesitation.

Li Yunlong rummaged through the boxes and took out a bag of tea: "Old man, we don't have any good tea here, so you have to make do with what you have."

"Hey, old man, I don't drink tea, do you have any wine?"

"Yes, I'll get it for you."

Li Yunlong took out two bottles of Fenjiu and put them on the table: "You haven't eaten yet, I'll get you something to eat"

Li Yunlong took some peanuts and canned food and placed them on the table, and asked Hu Zi to go to the kitchen to make a bowl of noodles.

Master Jin Guang accepted everything and picked a beef can. He spun the lid with his finger and flicked the bottom of the can. The lid jumped up more than a meter and fell to the ground.

Li Yunlong was amazed at what he saw. Master Jin Guang didn't care whether his hands were clean or not. He scooped a piece of meat with his fingers and put it into his mouth.

He chewed a few bites and was quite satisfied with the taste, so he bit open the bottle cap with his teeth and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

"Ha~ This wine is good, it's the authentic Jinqu Laofenjiu"

Li Yunlong didn't dare to laugh at his behavior but still asked the question in his mind.

"Grandpa, are you also Xiao Shen's master? His master is not from Maoshan..."

Master Jin Guang scooped another piece of beef and put it into his mouth, then looked at Li Yunlong with his eyes rolled up.

"Why? Don't I look like that old man? Who stipulated that he can only have Shi Jian as his master? Not many people know about the master-disciple relationship between him and me."

"Oh, I see Xiao Shen doesn't usually eat beef. He said that Taoism has taboos. Don't you have any concerns about this, old man?"

Master Jin Guang snorted, "The old man doesn't have so many taboos. He is not dragged down by those things. People can do whatever they want in their lives and eat whatever they want. Why should they have so many concerns?"

Li Yunlong also poured himself a bowl of wine after hearing this: "Haha, old man, your personality is very similar to my temper, I toast you a bowl of wine"

When the two were drinking happily, Zhao Gang walked into the regiment headquarters angrily with a frown on his brow.

As soon as he saw Li Yunlong drinking with an old man, he asked, "Captain, do you have guests?"

"This is our Captain Shen's master."

"Hello, old man. I am Zhao Gang, the political commissar of the independent regiment. Commander, I have something to ask you. Please come over here."

Li Yunlong was in high spirits and was a little unhappy about being disturbed, but he still put on his shoes.

"Excuse me, old man. I have something to take care of."

When he left the room, he saw Zhao Gang staring at him with a frown and asked, "What's the matter, Political Commissar Zhao?"

"Captain, does our regiment have a combat mission?"

Li Yunlong lit a cigarette and said calmly: "No, how could we not inform the political commissar if we have a combat mission?"

"Where is Captain Kong? The entire first battalion is missing. Even Commissioner Shen and Political Commissar Lu are not at the base."

Li Yunlong said with a guilty conscience, "You mean Captain Kong? They are going to do some side jobs. As for Xiao Shen, I don't know what they are doing and I have no right to ask."

Zhao Gang was a little confused after hearing this: "Side job? What side job?"

"There is a group of military horses in Wanjia Town, and Captain Kong brought the horses back. It's that simple."

"Captain, do you know how dangerous Wanjia Town is? There is a battalion of puppet troops there. When I came to report to the independent regiment, I was almost blocked by them."

Li Yunlong chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Political Commissar. The puppet troops there are just decorations. The horses there are given away for free. Just let them waste them."

Zhao Gang was completely enraged by his attitude: "Captain, this is not a side job, this is a combat operation! What qualifications do you have to mobilize troops without authorization! This is a serious violation of discipline."

Li Yunlong also lost his temper and threw his cigarette butt to the ground: "Zhao Gang, stop glaring at me. You didn't even know where I was when I was fighting. Go and tell the division commanders and brigade commanders about me. If you want to kill me or cut me up, I, Li Yunlong, will take the blame!"

Zhao Gang held his forehead with his hand and said helplessly: "Captain, let's calm down. Arguing won't solve the problem. You are an old comrade, and I should learn from you in every aspect. But what you did in this matter was really inappropriate."

Li Yunlong calmed down and asked, "Political Commissar Zhao, have you heard of the New 1st Regiment?"
