Under One Person: I am the Master of Maoshan

"Okay, then let's catch him off guard in the first battle. Then I'll lead the main force into the mountains, and you'll take the opportunity to detach from the army and stab that old man Inoue Ito in the heart."

Seeing that he could not persuade Shen Yan, Li Yunlong had to call Zhang Dabiao and ask him to exchange the new recruits of the first company with the veterans of other companies to form a spearhead company and hand it over to Shen Yan.

Three nights later, Shen Yan and Li Yunlong received news that the Japanese in Changye County decided to encircle and suppress the New 1st Regiment early the next morning, with a force of more than two regiments.

Early the next morning, Shen Yan and Li Yunlong began to finish the work on the base. They took away all the pots, pans, and utensils they could take away. Those that could not be taken away were smashed and destroyed, leaving not a single intact tile behind for the Japanese.

Shen Yan called the four children over and said, "This is a devouring capsule. I have taught you how to use it before. It contains food and ammunition. I am handing it over to you now. Remember to use it when necessary and follow the captain's instructions. The four of you must protect the captain at all times."

"Yes, Captain"

After everything was cleaned up, Li Yunlong called the entire regiment together for a mobilization meeting.

Shen Yan looked at the sea of ​​heads below, and sighed in his heart that he didn't know how many familiar faces would leave him forever.

"Comrades, the Japanese will launch a sweep of our entire 386th Brigade tomorrow. Many of you are new recruits. If you choose to quit now, you can hand over your weapons and take off your uniforms. I can arrange for you to move with the masses. Now I will give you one minute to think about it."

There was complete silence below, and anger was in everyone's eyes. They felt that the leader had offended them.

Li Yunlong looked at the soldiers below and shouted with satisfaction: "Good! You are all brave men. I, Li Yunlong, firmly believe that there is no unbreakable encirclement in this world. Our New 1st Regiment can do nothing but attack."

"I want each of you to load your bullets into the chamber, unscrew the caps of your grenades, and hang your bayonets on your guns. Now is the time for our new regiment to show its swords!"

"Attack! Attack!" The soldiers of the New 1st Regiment were shouting loudly.

"Let Deputy Commander Shen give everyone a pre-war mobilization."

Shen Yan walked up and glanced at each soldier's face: "Comrades, I must tell you the truth. Now the devils have assembled nearly 60,000 troops to sweep us. We will face an unprecedented bloody battle, and the battle will be extremely cruel."

"Many of our comrades will be sacrificed, but we have no other way to retreat, because behind us is the North China Plain, where there are millions of ordinary people. Do we want these folks to take the bullets for us?"

"Even though the enemy outnumbers us and the strength gap is huge, the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road! We must let the enemy know that the day they encounter our New 1st Regiment will be the day they die!"

After that, Li Yunlong gave the order: "All members of the New 1st Regiment, prepare for battle, and set off!"

Li Yunlong and Shen Yan decided to block the enemy on a hillside not far from the base. This location was less than fifty miles away from the deep mountains. With Shen Yan's devouring sac, the marching speed of the New 1st Regiment would be much faster, so there was no need to worry about being bitten by the Japanese.

Li Yunlong led the soldiers to set up the positions, while Shen Yan held a small meeting with several people from the 937th Brigade.

"Ake, A Shou, your mission tomorrow is to find the enemy commander and kill him. The bigger the better! Remember, show me the same momentum as when Guan Yu rode his horse to kill Yan Liang!"

"Yes, don't worry, Captain."

Shen Yan looked at Young Master Lu again: "Young Master, Brother Zhang, and Brother Xin, you will take a company of soldiers tomorrow and leave the main force at any time when I give you a signal to lurk in the opposite direction. We must become a poison that is poured into the Inoue Regiment."

"Yes, Captain"

After arranging the tasks for everyone, Shen Yan came to the top of the hill alone. He was still thinking about the Japanese aliens. It was very unusual for the Japanese warriors to be so quiet.

But there is no confirmed news at the moment, so we can only deal with it as it happens.

Before six o'clock in the morning, the Japanese in Changye County left the city in batches and began to march towards the base of the New 1st Regiment.

Leading the group was the Mizutani Battalion of the Inoue Regiment. Before leaving, Inoue Yoshito told him that the New 1st Regiment might set an ambush at Yangchang Mountain. The Ninomiya and Morita Battalions had suffered losses here in previous occasions, so Mizutani was very careful.

A small team was sent out to search, and deminers were sent out to clear the mines on the road.

The captain of the engineering corps came over to report: "Captain Mizutani, we found mines on the ground, but there are not many of them, and some are still exposed."

Mizutani said with a sneer on his face: "This group of Eighth Route Army soldiers must have been frightened by our Imperial Japanese Army before they had time to set up an ambush. Clear the mines quickly and move forward at full speed."

"Yes"

The mines on the ground were a decoy array set up by Li Yunlong. The purpose was to make the Japanese think that the New 1st Regiment had retreated and thus relax their vigilance.

After waiting for a whole morning, Li Yunlong finally spotted the Japanese through the telescope.

"Everyone in the group, get ready to fight!"

The soldiers of the new regiment loaded their guns and prepared for battle.

Shen Yan was also watching through the telescope: "Captain, the Japs have a battalion of troops. It won't be a problem for us to defeat them."

Li Yunlong nodded and gave the order: "The first battalion will open fire in a moment. Heavy machine guns are not allowed to fire. Our terrain is advantageous. I want to lure them up."

"Yes, Captain," Hu Zi conveyed the order to his subordinates after receiving it.

When the Japanese moved upwards, Li Yunlong was the first to fire.

"Pah, pah, pah, thump, thump"

The soldiers of the first battalion kept shooting at the Japanese, but the gunfire was not frequent, so not many Japanese fell.

Mizutani heard the density of the gunfire and judged that the enemy's snipers did not have many people, so he ordered the artillery to open fire and then charge after three rounds of artillery fire.

It must be said that the Japanese lacked tactics and only used one tactic in the 14-year war, which was an infantry charge followed by an artillery attack. But this tactic was used all the way from the northeast to the southwest.

The artillery fire from the Mizutani Battalion was very fierce, and the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment were all hiding in the trenches. After the artillery fire stopped, Li Yunlong judged that the Japanese's large force should be coming up.

Then he gave the order: "Everyone, fight!"

The heavy firepower equipment of the New 1st Regiment was more than enough for two or three regiments. Light and heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, and mortars fired together, instantly stunning the Japanese in the Mizutani Battalion.

But when they wanted to retreat again, the new regiment had already sounded the charge.

"Everyone in the regiment is here! End the battle quickly!" Li Yunlong also charged forward with a Mauser pistol in his hand. Four young men protected him from all directions, front, back, left and right, and also charged forward together.

"Captain! Let's retreat. The deputy captain has died. Let's go and join the main force first." The adjutant pulled Mizutani and wanted to retreat.

But there were several hidden lines around the two of them, and You Ke revealed his figure on the side.

The two men and the Japanese soldiers around them screamed in fear when they saw so many people appearing out of nowhere.

You Ke clasped his hands together, and the invisible thread locked the few people tightly like a spider web, sending them to see the emperor.

The soldiers of the new regiment eliminated the remaining enemies in less than ten minutes.

Shen Yan and Li Yunlong gathered together and said, "Captain, let's retreat. It's too late to clean up the battlefield. When they hear the gunshots, the large Japanese army will definitely rush over here. Let's separate here."

"Okay, keep in touch at any time, Xiao Shen, stay safe."

Shen Yan nodded, saluted Li Yunlong, and then led the 937th Battalion and the first company upstream in the direction of the Japanese encirclement.
