Under One Person: I am the Master of Maoshan

Chapter 17: New 1st Regiment's First Battle

The middle-aged man in a long gown clasped his fists and said, "Manager Liu, Comrade Shen Yan asked me to bring you some things." After saying that, he opened the bag.

Liu Wei saw a pile of newspapers with a letter on top. He was a little confused as to what Shen Yan was up to.

"Manager Liu, I've brought the stuff. I'll take my leave now."

Liu Wei nodded and said, "Let's eat before we leave. The waiter will prepare a banquet for the guests so that they can taste the flavor of our Yinghe Tower."

"No need, Manager Liu. I have something else to do and will not bother you any more." After saying that, he turned and left the room.

Liu Wei opened the letter and read: "Respectfully sent by Uncle Liu, my nephew has joined the Eighth Route Army. Our army is in great need of medicine and weapons. Xiaozhan has a wide network of contacts. I hope Uncle Liu can do his best to help. I will not let Uncle Liu suffer a loss in terms of price. I also hope Uncle Liu can help me promote it in Yinghe Tower. If there are like-minded people, I hope you can help my nephew keep an eye out for them."

"This kid is really not shy. He calls me Uncle Liu all the time. It's like I owe him something if I don't help him. Haha." Liu Wei muttered to himself, picked up the newspaper and read it again, his eyes full of satisfaction.

After thinking for a while, Liu Wei shouted outside: "Someone come!"

"Boss, what can I do for you?" A man dressed as a waiter walked in.

"Call Mu Yun over here"

"Yes"

A quarter of an hour later, a young man dressed as a shopkeeper walked into the room. He looked to be about 20 years old.

"Master, did you call me?"

Liu Wei held the newspaper in his hand and said, "Hand over to the accountant and go to Jin District tomorrow. You will be responsible for the business in Jin District from now on."

Mu Yun was a little surprised: "Master, didn't you say that you don't do business in a war zone?"

Liu Wei didn't respond but handed him the letter and newspaper.

After reading it, Mu Yun asked, "Master, how much information authority should we give to the little mountain master?"

Liu Wei gulped down his wine: "All"

"What about the price?"

"Not a penny less, business is business, and personal relationships are personal relationships."

At the headquarters of the new 1st regiment, Li Yunlong felt a headache looking at the soldiers of the battalion in front of him. The quality of the soldiers was okay, including some veterans, but their equipment was extremely poor. Two people could not share a gun, and there was not even a machine gun, let alone a mortar.

Li Yunlong complained to Shen Yan, "We are really raised by a stepmother. Commander, please gather all the rifles. Going to the battlefield like this will only lead to our death."

Shen Yan also nodded: "Captain, we have to find a way to make some money. At least we can bring back some weapons this time and find a way to fight him."

Li Yunlong took Shen Yan and Zhang Dabiao into the room and looked at the map.

"Zhang Dabiao, you will temporarily serve as the company commander of the first company. I will give you three days to find out the time and route for transporting supplies between Changye County and Lizhuang stronghold."

"Yes, I promise to complete the task"

"Xiao Shen, you and these backbones will be responsible for the training of the entire regiment for the time being. The first battle of our new regiment must be launched within a week."

"Yes, leader"

Shen Yan led the soldiers in training every day according to Li Yunlong's orders. It must be said that the power of idols is infinite. The soldiers of the New 200st Regiment all knew that there was a combat hero around them who single-handedly slaughtered Japanese cavalry, so they trained harder.

"Company one, assemble and prepare for battle," Li Yunlong shouted loudly.

The night before, Li Yunlong finalized the battle plan and launched an ambush at the mountain pass between Changye County and Lizhuang stronghold. The terrain of this mountain pass was very peculiar, like a "<".

Li Yunlong decided to divide his troops into three groups to stop the enemy. Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao each led a row on both sides of the mountain pass. Shen Yan led the remaining soldiers to block the mountain pass and prepared to divide their troops into three groups to wrap the Japanese dumplings.

After the company assembled, each person was given five bullets and two grenades. Although they brought a lot of bullets, they still had to use them sparingly in case they were short of bullets when the enemy invaded the base.

Shen Yan led the soldiers to the ambush position. It was still early, about two hours before the Japanese attacked. Shen Yan started chatting with the soldiers.

"Captain Shen, were you scared when you first went to the battlefield?" asked a young soldier.

Shen Yan's external identity is the company commander of the guard company of the New 1st Regiment, although there are only two guards in the group now, he and Hu Zi.

"I'm afraid, but you won't be afraid if you treat the Japs like pigs. Don't be afraid. The Japs have only two tactics: infantry charges and artillery bombards. After the artillery bombards, infantry charges. I guarantee you won't be afraid of the Japs anymore after this battle."

"Captain, when do you think this war will end?"

Shen Yan gritted his teeth and said, "It will be soon. In a few years, the Japanese will not be able to hold on any longer. He is dreaming of swallowing up China with such a small place."

As it was almost afternoon, the Japanese troops transporting supplies finally arrived. Shen Yan lay on a high place and looked down. In the front were two motorcycles with Type 92 heavy machine guns mounted on them, followed by a squad of Japanese troops, and further behind them were three trucks transporting supplies.

Shen Yan shouted in a low voice: "Prepare for battle", then aimed at the Japanese with his Type 38 rifle.

When the truck entered the minefield, Li Yunlong ordered the mines to be detonated.

"Boom boom boom"

Three trucks were stranded by the explosion. Shen Yan fired a shot and hit the Japanese machine gunner right between the eyebrows. He quickly changed the bullet and searched for the next target.

After using up several bullets, Shen Yan heard the charge. Shen Yan drew out his machete and shouted, "Brothers, follow me," and then rushed to the front.

Although Shen Yan rushed to the front, he did not keep a large distance from the team, but paid attention to the status of the soldiers around him. Most of the new regiment were new recruits, and it was their first time to participate in hand-to-hand combat. Shen Yan could rush forward and kill all the enemies.

But war is not something that can be decided by one person, and he is just an ordinary man, so he deliberately trains the new recruits.

Shen Yan chopped down two Japanese soldiers, and out of the corner of his eye he noticed a soldier being tripped by a Japanese soldier. When the Japanese soldier was about to stab him with his bayonet, Shen Yan raised his hand and threw out a silver needle, ending his sinful life.

Shen Yan dodged and pulled up the soldier who had tripped, dragging him to a Japanese soldier. Shen Yan cut off the Japanese soldier's rifle with his sword, and then shouted to the soldier: "Stab him!"

The young soldier was a little timid. Shen Yan held his hand and pushed it forward, and the bayonet stabbed into the body of the Japanese soldier. Shen Yan's bayonet slashed horizontally, cutting off the Japanese soldier's head. The young soldier was sprayed with the Japanese soldier's blood.

The fear in his heart seemed to be reduced a lot by the blood, and he rushed towards the next Japanese soldier with his bayonet.

Shen Yan wandered around the battlefield, taking care of the new recruits as much as possible. Hand-to-hand combat was the best way to inspire the courage of soldiers.

In more than ten minutes, sixty or seventy Japanese soldiers were killed, and Li Yunlong ordered to clean up the battlefield. Shen Yan wiped the blood off his face and came to Li Yunlong's side.

Li Yunlong looked at him with a smile: "You are a good kid. You know how to stimulate the fighting desire of the soldiers. Unlike Zhang Dabiao, he just knows how to rush around recklessly."

After half an hour, the battlefield was cleaned up. Li Yunlong was summarizing the seized rifles, including more than 60 rifles, two Type rifles, three grenade launchers, and a number of grenades and bullets. The three trucks were loaded with winter cotton clothes for the Japanese army, as well as pork and food.

Shen Yan looked at the supplies and said, "Captain, we can have a good New Year this time."

Li Yunlong nodded: "It's a pity that we don't have any weapons and equipment this time."

The group carried the supplies back to the base. As soon as they arrived at the gate, the security officer of the regiment came out and said, "Captain, Captain Shen, there is someone from the regiment who wants to do business with Captain Shen."
