Under One Person: I am the Master of Maoshan

Chapter 38: The merits are offset by the faults

After seeing off the soldiers of the Second Company, Shen Yan supported his body with his hands on the altar.

You Ke and others looked at his back with admiration and bowed, saying, "Young Mountain Master, you have done a great deed," but Shen Yan did not turn around and said nothing.

You Ke walked up to Shen Yan, only to find him in tears, sobbing silently. His tears dripped and stained the yellow paper on the table.

But he had never learned how to comfort others, so he could only pat Shen Yan on the shoulder twice.

Shen Yan quickly wiped his tears with his sleeves and forced a smile: "I'm fine"

"Little Mountain Master, can the China you mentioned, where everyone can have enough food and clothing, really come true?"

Shen Yan nodded vigorously: "It will definitely happen. As long as we work hard from today, that day will not be too late."

"Captain Shen, I, You Ke, formally apply to join the New 1st Regiment!" You Ke looked at Shen Yan and said solemnly.

"Okay, let's end this chaotic era together."

In this way, You Ke and You Shou also joined Shen Yan's team, and the two waiters Gao Tianming and Gao Tianjue of the inn were also left by Mu Yun with Shen Yan, responsible for delivering messages.

"Brother Pingshan, I'm so sorry. You've seen the situation in the group. I can't get away for the time being. Please stay in the group for a few more days. I'll ask Tianming to go to Baicaotang and bring my news. I'll ask my senior brother to send the prescription to you. How about that?"

The next day, Shen Yan said to Zhao Pingshan with an apologetic look on his face.

Zhao Pingshan quickly stopped Shen Yan: "Little Master, you are too polite. I am lucky to be able to kill the devils with you. What's wrong with staying in the regiment for a few more days?"

Shen Yan called Tianming and Tianjue and handed them two letters, one to be sent to Baicaotang in Chang'an, and the other to Tangmen.

"Captain, what should we do with the small pieces of those four warriors?" You Ke asked.

Shen Yan curved his lips and said, "Find four sacks and throw them into Changye County tonight to add fuel to the fire of that bastard Morita Masakazu. I think he will commit suicide soon. He can't bear the responsibility for the death of four nobles."

After saying this, he assigned tasks to everyone, and then he and Li Yunlong rode on horseback to the brigade headquarters to apologize.

In Linfen City, Xiong Ni at the foot of the mountain was yelling at Morita Masakazu: "Captain Morita, haven't you found the whereabouts of Takagi-kun and the others yet? It's been four days, why is there still no news?"

Morita Masakazu stood straight: "General, all the Chinese people close to us have been eliminated, and my troops are seriously insufficient, so it is difficult to get information."

"Baga, is this how you carry out the military's orders? You've messed up the entire Changye County. Just wait for the military to deal with you, you bastard."

Masakazu Morita heard the busy tone on the phone and threw it down. He was very angry that his Changye County was messed up by four idiots, but General Yamashita put all the blame on himself.

After Yamashita Xiongni put down the phone, he called his adjutant and said, "Order the Inoue Regiment to be transferred to Changye County immediately to take over the defense of Changye County."

The adjutant hesitated and said, "General, North China wants us to participate in the attack on the Yellow River defense line, but if we withdraw now, will it be possible..."

Xiong Ni waved his hand at the foot of the mountain and said, "We already have enough troops for the Yellow River defense line. We can just send a regiment to show our respect. But Changye County must not be lost. Losing Changye County is like opening the door to Linfen. We cannot afford the chain reaction at that time."

The adjutant then took note of Shanxia Xiongni's order.

"You must tell Inoue in person that after entering Changye County, you must carry out comprehensive defense and maintain the status quo. Also, make that idiot Morita commit suicide out of fear of punishment. Do you understand?" Yamashita Xiongni stared at the adjutant fiercely.

"Hi"

Even Yamashita Kuma could not bear the responsibility for the disappearance of four noble warriors at the same time, especially since there was one only son of the Honda family. I guess there must be an uproar in the noble house now.

Although the Tokugawa family has returned power, its influence still exists. As the most loyal supporters of the Tokugawa family, the Honda family cannot be underestimated in Japan.

Inside the brigade headquarters, the brigade commander looked at the two men with a smile: "Captain Shen and Commander Li are here to inspect the brigade headquarters? Do you two see any problems with our brigade so that I can correct them in time."

Shen Yan and Li Yunlong stood straight, not daring to even breathe.

The brigade commander walked up to Shen Yan and said, "Captain Shen, are you satisfied? Come on, let me pour you a cup of tea, so that Captain Shen won't overturn my brigade headquarters if he gets upset."

"Commander, I was wrong. Please punish me."

The brigade commander swung his armed belt and hit Shen Yan on the chest: "Xiao Shen, you are disorganized and undisciplined. Do you know how much impact you have had on the comrades below you?"

Li Yunlong lowered his head and snickered. The brigade commander whipped Li Yunlong with his belt and said, "And you, Li Yunlong! Is this how you, as an old comrade, help new comrades? Xiao Shen was corrupted by you."

"Calm down, brigade commander." Li Yunlong walked forward with a grin and helped the brigade commander to a chair.

Then he said, "Commander, we will accept whatever punishment the headquarters gives us this time, but we hope the headquarters can allow us to stay on the front line."

The brigade commander snorted and said, "Someone has commended you. Would you like to see it?" Then he took out a commendation order and handed it to the two men.

Shen Yan took it and read it to Li Yunlong: "Li Yunlong and Shen Yan are hereby promoted to colonels. I hope your troops will work together to achieve more victories."

After reading it, he curled his lips and said: "The baldies are too stingy. Giving them two boxes of grenades is better than this ass-wiping paper."

Li Yunlong also echoed.

"Stop talking nonsense. Let me read out the conclusion made by our Eighth Route Army Headquarters on your battle." The brigade commander took out a piece of letter and read it to the two of them.

The first half affirmed the battle achievements of the New 1st Regiment, awarded the title of glorious martyrs to all the soldiers of the Second Company who died, and awarded a second-class group merit to all the officers and soldiers of the New 1st Regiment except Li Yunlong and Shen Yan.

"The merits and demerits of the group leader Li Yunlong and the deputy group leader Shen Yan are equal and they will not be commended."

When Shen Yan heard the result, he was happy for the comrades who died in the second company.

The brigade commander said to Shen Yan earnestly, "You have made quite a mess this time. Some people suggested that you should be severely punished, but He said that young comrades will make mistakes and we should be more tolerant and helpful. He also said that when you win next time, he will invite you to taste the braised pork from his hometown."

Shen Yan's face was excited: "He also knows?"

"Of course, how could He not know about such a big thing? Xiao Shen, don't let Him down."

Shen Yan saluted the brigade commander solemnly: "Yes, our 937th Battalion promises to fight bravely and let the devils know how powerful we are."

The brigade commander nodded with satisfaction and said, "Now I will announce the next battle plan to you. According to the headquarters' speculation, the Shanxia Brigade in Linfen will definitely defend Changye County to the death, so our next target will be the passage between southeastern Shanxi and northwestern Shanxi."

The brigade commander brought the two men to the map and deployed them.

"First of all, the main force cannot move. We must stay where we are and confront the Japanese troops in Changye County. I believe they dare not send out troops rashly now. I want you to send a battalion to support the brigade headquarters and cooperate with the brigade to attack the Japanese 108th Division's support for the Yellow River defense line."

"Yes, I promise to complete the task"

At night, the Japanese troops on the city wall of Changye County were patrolling. Everyone was worried that the New 1st Regiment would launch a sneak attack on them.

Suddenly four sacks fell on the top of the city wall, making a noise.

"What's that sound! Where is it?" The Japanese fired aimlessly at the source of the noise.
