Under One Person: I am the Master of Maoshan

At night, Shen Yan, Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao were still discussing anti-mopping-up measures.

Li Yunlong looked at the map and pondered: "Since we can know the time of the enemy's raid in advance, I will tear a piece of his flesh off no matter what."

Shen Yan's eyes lit up: "Captain, do you have an idea?"

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Look, there are two strongholds under the jurisdiction of Changye County, Lizhuang Stronghold and Tongtai Stronghold. Changye County has a battalion of garrison troops, and the other two strongholds have a squadron each. If the Japanese carry out a sweep, the garrison troops in the stronghold will inevitably be empty."

Shen Yan nodded and said, "Captain, do you mean to take advantage of the opportunity to destroy the stronghold?"

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "You have made progress, but there is no point in simply taking out the stronghold. I want the Japanese to be completely buried in this location." After he finished speaking, he pointed to the map, which was the Yangchang Mountain where the New 1st Regiment ambushed the Japanese in their first battle.

Zhang Dabiao's blood boiled after hearing this: "Captain, just tell me what to do."

"First, during this period of time, we must transfer the people in the base to a safe area. We must move them in batches so as not to make too much noise. Currently, there are about 900 combatants in our regiment. I will divide them into three groups."

"Xiao Shen, Zhang Dabiao, each of you will lead 100 people. Put on puppet army uniforms. Xiao Shen, you go to the Lizhuang stronghold, and Zhang Dabiao will ambush in advance at the Tongtai stronghold. After the Japanese mopping-up troops have left, trick them into opening the stronghold."

"This way, the Japanese soldiers who are on the mopping-up mission will definitely learn through the radio that the stronghold has been lost. We won't care about the Japanese soldiers in the Tongtai stronghold. After you two take out the stronghold, immediately rush to Yangchang Pass. The Japanese soldiers in Lizhuang and Changye County must take this road if they want to return to defend. I want to hold a funeral for them here."

"Remember, we have to put them into the base first this time to ensure that you two have enough time to take down the base, so all the people in the base must be evacuated. Fortunately, we still have plenty of time."

People like Li Yunlong are born for war. Even though Shen Yan is full of magic skills, he can't catch up with Li Yunlong when it comes to deploying troops.

In the next few days, the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment evacuated the people around the base to a safe location in the rear.

On this day, in a restaurant called Jinhe Restaurant in Changye County, four Japanese soldiers were sitting around eating and drinking. One of the Japanese soldiers drank a little too much and waved to the waiter, "You, come here!"

The waiter approached timidly and smiled apologetically: "Madam, what do you want?"

The Japanese soldier put water in the wine jar, then picked it up and said, "Drink it." The other three Japanese soldiers laughed arrogantly.

The waiter kept bowing but refused to take the jar of wine. The Japanese soldier got angry and slapped him in the face. He fell to the ground and shouted "Baka". The other three laughed even more happily. The waiter who was beaten covered his face with his hands and lay on the ground motionless.

The Japanese soldier said arrogantly in Japanese: "Chinese are trash" and then staggered out with the three Japanese soldiers.

After the person left, the waiter got up from the ground, clenched his fists, and went to the back room and knocked on the door.

"Enter" There was a man in his forties sitting in the room.

"Boss, news has arrived." The waiter opened his hand and found an inconspicuous paper roll lying in his hand.

The middle-aged man opened it, took a look and said, "Notify the young shopkeeper."

At night, when Shen Yan was practicing Qigong and drawing talismans in the house, he suddenly heard a "click" sound from the window. Shen Yan walked out of the room, looked at a ball of paper on the windowsill, and opened it to see: "The Japanese army will set out to mop up the operation at 800 o'clock the day after tomorrow, with a total force of about people."

Shen Yan looked around and muttered softly: "He really comes and goes without a trace."

He knocked on Li Yunlong's door with the letter in his hand: "Captain, there's a letter from Manager Mu."

Li Yunlong perked up and looked at the letter in his hand: "Great, it's pretty much what I analyzed. Inform Zhang Dabiao to act according to the plan."

As soon as it was daybreak, Li Yunlong led his men to Yangchang Mountain and laid mines on the path, and ambushed on both sides of the path. This time, Li Yunlong brought all his belongings and prepared to eliminate the main force of Changye County in one blow.

Shen Yan also brought his soldiers and changed into the uniforms of the puppet army. Before leaving, he handed the peach wood sword to Li Yunlong and asked him to keep it well for him.

He led his men to the dense forest far away from the Lizhuang stronghold, and then asked everyone to have a good rest, after all, the Japanese would not start the raid until tomorrow.

Inside the Japanese garrison headquarters in Changye County, Captain Ninomiya Kazuo was asking his adjutant: "Have the two people who killed Liu Zhuangzhu found their whereabouts?"

The adjutant lowered his head and said, "Not yet, but our people saw one of them being injured by Liu Zhuangzhu's friends a few days ago, but they were too fast and our people didn't catch up."

Ninomiya Kazuo frowned and said, "Why don't they act together with our people?"

"It seems that Liu Zhuangzhu's friends are very hostile to us. They even killed the translator we sent, and their methods were extremely cruel. They also threatened that if we follow them again, they will kill us all."

Ninomiya Kazuo smiled nonchalantly: "People with ability have bad tempers, this is normal. We should continue to recruit them. We can satisfy them with whatever they want."

The adjutant nodded.

Ninomiya Kazuo said again: "Clean up the area around Lizhuang tomorrow. Oda-kun, go and inform the officers below to remember that anyone who destroys the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Belt is our enemy. Don't let any of them go. Our soldiers are too tired, so let them relax."

The adjutant smiled grimly: "Yes, Captain Ninomiya"

In the valley far away from Yangchang Mountain, four men and one woman were staring at the bloodstains under their feet.

A middle-aged man who looked like a Taoist priest said, "Old Sun, it seems that these two guys from the Tang Sect want to catch us all in one fell swoop. It has been more than half a month, and they have been wandering around in Changye County. We have lost more than a dozen brothers. Should we continue to chase them?"

The man called Old Sun laughed and said, "If you are afraid of death, just leave. We are all like this anyway."

The Taoist priest didn't say anything. The man in a short shirt said, "If you want to avenge Lao Liu, why don't you call those Japanese soldiers to help? They were there when we had a chance to kill them last time."

Old Sun had a fierce expression on his face: "Shut up, I'll say it again, whoever dares to surrender to the Japs again, I'll kill him first."

The woman in the costume also stared at the man with unfriendly eyes.

The man immediately shut up and dared not say anything. Old Sun looked at the Taoist priest and said, "Master, please take a look at where these two children are."

The Taoist priest looked reluctant. He took out a talisman paper crane from his pocket, dipped it in the blood on the ground, and chanted a spell. Then the paper crane was surrounded by Qi and flew forward.

"Okay, let's go." The group of five followed the paper crane.

At dawn the next day, the Japanese army began to send troops to the countryside for a cleanup according to the original plan. Shen Yan counted the passing troops and calculated in his mind that there were probably about fifty devils left in the stronghold.

Then he ordered the brothers below: "Everyone continue to rest and the battle will begin on time at 2 pm."

Shen Yan leaned against a tree, closed his eyes and thought to himself, "I wonder how my master and fellow brothers are doing now. I have been down the mountain for more than a year. I really want to find some time to go back to Maoshan to take a look."

As Shen Yan was thinking, he fell asleep leaning against a tree. He had a very strange dream. In the dream, his master Shi Jian smiled at him but didn't say a word. When he walked in front of his master, Shi Jian suddenly disappeared.
