Under One Person: I am the Master of Maoshan

After leaving the brigade headquarters, Shen Yan went to find Zhang Dabiao alone, told him about the departure to the independent regiment tomorrow, and talked about command matters for a while. Then he got up and returned to his room.

When I got outside the room, I heard You Ke still scolding the four kids.

"There is no room for negotiation on this matter. After this battle, you must immediately get back to the Tang Clan!" You Ke's attitude was firm.

Li Sen lowered his head and said, "Master, the master has agreed for us to help you, please let us stay here."

Shen Yan opened the door and walked in. Everyone greeted him. Li Sen said to Shen Yan boldly, "Little Mountain Master, we also want to fight the Japanese invaders with you. Please leave us here."

Shen Yan smiled at them and said, "Seeing you reminds me of myself. That year, my master and I went down the mountain to eliminate evil. When we returned, we happened to catch up with the September 18th Incident. At that time, all of us brothers and sisters knelt in front of our master and asked him to let us go down the mountain to kill the bandits. Guess what my master said?"

Wang Mo muttered, "The old mountain master must not have let you go down the mountain."

Shen Yan nodded: "I was about the same age as you are now. My master not only did not let us go down the mountain, but also forcibly closed the mountain for five years. No one except himself went down the mountain during those five years. You have to understand your master's painstaking efforts."

Li Sen said unwillingly: "But didn't you, Little Mountain Master, come down the mountain two years ago? We can kill enemies now, and I have received many orders from the Tang Sect."

"You still dare to talk back, Li Sen? Have I been spoiled by you?" You Ke's eyes widened.

Li Sen and San Xiao lowered their heads again.

You Shou tried to smooth things over: "Okay, you guys go out first. Your master and the captain have something important to discuss. You guys go eat something first."

The four children walked around the camp, and the youngest brother Yang Youxing asked, "Brother, do we really want to go back?"

Li Sen made up his mind and said, "I have no intention of going back this time when I came down the mountain. Let's find an opportunity to do something on our own and let the young mountain master and Master see that we are not children anymore."

"Yes, we'll listen to you, brother," the other three also echoed.

Nothing happened that night. Around five in the morning, Shen Yan gathered the team and set off for Kong Jie's independent regiment under the leadership of the brigade's signalman.

When they arrived at Kong Jie's independent regiment, the sun was about to set in the west, and Kong Jie brought political commissar Li Wenying to pick them up.

"Xiao Shen, I've been looking forward to you coming to our independent regiment. This time we finally have the opportunity to fight side by side together." Kong Jie held Shen Yan's hands tightly with both hands.

Kong Jie had been envious of Shen Yan's skills and abilities since he was still Li Yunlong's bodyguard.

Shen Yan was also very happy and admired Kong Jie's loyalty and courage. After greeting Kong Jie and Li Wenying, they walked into the headquarters of the independent regiment.

Before lunch time, several people gathered around the battle map to discuss, and Kong Jie introduced the situation to him.

"This is Yueling Village. This is where our ambush will be set. Our goal is to prevent the Baicun Regiment from sending reinforcements to the southwest of Shanxi via the highway and completely strangle this lifeline that provides blood transfusions to the Japanese in the southwest."

Shen Yan also frowned and pondered. Following Li Yunlong for the past two years, he has been constantly growing and learning. If he wants to learn how to fight, he must learn in war. What's more, he has Li Yunlong, a crazy genius, by his side.

"Captain Kong, judging from the map, the terrain of this place is not suitable for large-scale ambushes. The surrounding area is all boundless plains. If we want to ambush here, it will be a test of our ability to hide."

Kong Jie nodded in agreement. "You're right. I can see the problem right away. On both sides of this road are only abandoned fortifications that our 'friendly forces' had built in advance. So we have to ambush them in advance, and we can't let any mistakes slip through."

Political Commissar Li Wenying added, "According to the intelligence obtained by the brigade, Shuicheng County, where the Baicun Regiment is located, has a large amount of supplies hidden, and half of the soldiers are baggage soldiers who have not been on the battlefield much. This is also good news for us, and this is also the credit of you, Captain Shen."

Shen Yan looked at him with some confusion, not knowing what this had to do with him.

Kong Jie explained for him: "The Baicun Regiment belongs to the Yamashita Division. Your New 1st Regiment has defeated two of his battalions in a row, causing him to be unable to split his forces and can only use the baggage soldiers to serve as combat soldiers to support the battlefield."

Shen Yan laughed after hearing this: "It seems that this old bastard knows the pain. He is afraid that something unexpected will happen to him in Linfen, so he dare not rashly send troops to other battlefields. Captain Kong, what is the mission of our first battalion?"

Kong Jie pointed to a county town ahead of the road and said, "This is Licheng, a transit station for the Japanese to transport troops. There are less than 386 defenders inside. I need a battalion to attack here tomorrow night to draw out the Baicun Regiment in Shuicheng. Then the three regiments of our th Brigade will have a chance to take on all the Japanese troops in one fell swoop and capture Shuicheng."

"As a result, it will be a complete fantasy for the Japanese to continue to deliver blood to southwest Shanxi along this road. Their plan to wipe out the Second War Zone will also fail."

Shen Yan nodded: "Our first battalion will definitely complete the mission and create space for the brigade."

After formulating the battle plan, Shen Yan and Kong Jie had a meal together.

After a good rest, Shen Yan led a battalion to Licheng in the evening of the next day. The four children also set out with the team, but were warned by You Ke not to act on their own.

When they arrived at the mountains far away from Licheng, everyone lay in ambush. Licheng was called a city but the walls were low, only about two people high. It was a large troop transfer station and an agile soldier could jump in by just turning over.

"Da Biao, you will lead a battalion of soldiers to attack the main gate in a while, but remember not to show your head. The Japanese are good at shooting. Let's not get involved in this. We will start the siege in two hours."

Zhang Dabiao chuckled and said, "Just wait and see, Captain. I promise I will perform the trick perfectly for you."

"Bang, bang" two shells fell on the city wall of Licheng, creating a big hole.

After the battle, Zhang Dabiao organized the mortars to retreat and began to act out a drama with the soldiers of the first battalion.

It was the first time that the four children participated in a battle between two armies. Gao Qian asked Xiang Youke, "Master, why are you going through so much trouble? Let's go up with the illusion barrier. We can kill the devils easily and save some bullets for the little mountain master."

You Ke looked at him like an idiot: "Our mission this time is to attract the Japanese from the neighboring county to come out for rescue. After killing them all, tell the captain where to find bait. You all remember this, you have to use your brain no matter what you do."

The soldiers of the first battalion kept firing at the wall, but their siege without attacking put a lot of pressure on the Japanese.

After nearly two hours, the telegraph operator from the brigade came up and said, "Captain Shen, the brigade has already started fighting with the Japanese troops in Shuicheng. The brigade commander has instructed that we can take action."

After listening to this, Shen Yan called You Ke and You Shou over and said, "It's almost time, it's our turn to perform."

You Ke and You Shou nodded, preparing to use their illusion body barrier to move towards the top of the city wall. Seeing this, the four little ones ran up.

"Master, please take us with you," Li Sen begged You Ke.

You Ke glared at him and said, "Stay still and follow the captain's instructions."

After saying this, the two disappeared into the night.

Shen Yan stared at the top of the city wall. When You Ke showed up and took out the enemy's heavy machine gun, he raised his pistol and fired a shot into the air: "Everyone attack, the bugler blows the charge."

As soon as the charge sounded, all the soldiers in the first battalion rushed into the city.

You Ke and You Shou were reaping the lives of Japanese soldiers on the top of the city wall. When they reached the city gate and Zhang Dabiao was about to use the explosive pack, Xinyi walked up and condensed the Qi in his palm.

There was a loud "bang" and the bolt inside was broken into two pieces.
