Under One Person: I am the Master of Maoshan

"This little mountain master is simply evil in a righteous way. From what he says, people who don't know him would think he is the Quan Xing, hahahaha"

"Hahaha"

Everyone in Quanxing laughed as they listened to Shen Yan's words, except for a few people including Ms. Wu Man, who remained silent.

Wu Man stood up and walked out silently. Wu Gensheng saw this and dropped his wine bowl and followed him: "Everyone, drink slowly. I will go out for a walk with you."

Wu Gensheng saw Lay Buddhist Wu Man standing in the open space, looking up at the sun without moving, so he walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder: "What are you thinking about, Lay Buddhist?"

Wu Man's face showed no joy or sadness, but seemed full of distress: "I still can't see that the five aggregates are empty. I really envy those of you who are on the road. You and Shen Yan both know why you are there, but my road is blocked."

Wu Gensheng pinched his chin and thought for a while, then said: "If you don't mind, how about I accompany you to shave your head and practice after I have met other people in the sect in two months?"

Wu Man's eyes regained some spirit: "Thank you, Master."

As Shimizu Shushin's entire body turned into a sheep skeleton, the execution came to an end.

Shen Yan commanded everyone: "Hang these corpses and the sheep skeleton on the city wall of Changye County, so that the Japanese who come next time will see that this will be their fate in the future."

"Yes, Commander." A company commander and some soldiers collected the corpses and hung them on the top of Changye City.

"Fellow villagers, go home and prepare now. Those who wish to leave Changye can leave the city at any time! But one thing is for sure, if anyone wants to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, Shen's military law will be ruthless!"

After hearing this, the common people dispersed in twos and threes and went home to prepare. Except for those who really could not evacuate, basically everyone was ready to leave.

Shen Yan and his men also returned to the headquarters. Young Master Lu looked at him and said, "Captain, when are we going to withdraw?"

"We will withdraw tonight, taking the brigade commander's telegram as the signal. As long as the brigade commander engages in a battle with the 17th Brigade, we will immediately withdraw. The brigade commander has sent his guard company to support us, proving that they really don't have any extra troops. We must move quickly!"

Young Master Lu nodded when he heard this: "Then I will go down and prepare."

Around eight o'clock in the evening, Mu Yun sneaked out of Linfen City and joined Hanoi.

Since Shen Yan captured Changye County, Linfen City has been under martial law for the past two days, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

Tonight, Hanoi sneaked out and found Mu Yun under the pretext of inspecting the city's defense.

As soon as Mu Yun saw him, he said anxiously: "Hurry, I have to leave the city tonight. The young master will be in danger. I hope I can catch up!"

Hanoi nodded and took out the Japanese military uniform that he had prepared in advance. He used Qi to change Mu Yun's appearance, and then took him to the top of the city.

While he was giving a speech to everyone in the river on the city wall, he created space for Mu Yun. When everyone was not paying attention, Mu Yun floated out of the city wall like a fallen leaf.

After landing, he took out a few talismans from Dean Dai that Shen Yan had given him before and stuck them on his legs.

Mu Yun cast a spell and began to rush towards Taihang Mountains. The purpose of his trip was to get help!

With just his own strength and Xiaozhan's, it would be useless even if they found Shen Yan, so he rushed to Lujia Village as fast as possible.

At the ambush position of the independent regiment, Kong Jie was leading his troops and waiting anxiously. They had been lying here for two days, but still had not seen any sign of the 17th Brigade.

Battalion Commander Shen Quan came over and said, "Captain, do you think the 17th Brigade can come? Will they take a detour?"

Kong Jie held the pipe in his mouth but didn't dare to light it. He smacked his lips and looked disdainful: "Impossible, if they take a detour, it will take them forever to get here. Everyone, wake up, even if you have to rest, you have to turn a blind eye!"

After about 20 minutes, the soldier who was on guard in the distance ran back, gasping for breath.

"Captain...Captain, the devils are coming!"

Kong Jie became excited when he heard this: "Take a breath first and tell me slowly, how many troops does the devil have?"

"There is about one wing, but I observed that their formation is very chaotic and they don't carry any heavy weapons."

"This must be the vanguard of the Japanese army, rushing to rescue Changye County. All the troops, listen to my orders! Get ready for battle!"

At Kong Jie's command, the entire regiment prepared for battle.

The Japanese in the vanguard regiment were still marching with tired steps. At this speed they would be able to reach the vicinity of Changye County tomorrow night.

This marching speed has exceeded Shen Yan's expectations, and everyone is persevering with perseverance.

Seeing the Japanese troops approaching, Kong Jie gave the order: "Get the mortars ready, fire three rounds in a row to disrupt their formation!"

"Yes!"

"Bang bang!" The shells fired from two mortars hit the heads of the Japanese regiment.

The sound of mortars completely destroyed the morale of the Japanese army, and the forced march without rest for days and the unexpected ambush completely broke the tight strings in their heads.

The Japanese regiment commander immediately organized a formation to fight back and ordered the radio operator to send a message to Shimazu.

"General, our vanguard was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army. The enemy has about one regiment in number."

Shimazu was stunned for a moment, then he remembered the advice given to him by Yamashita Xiongni. He gritted his teeth and held on: "It's nothing more than a regiment of the Eighth Route Army. Tell the leading regiment not to care about casualties and send their support as soon as possible. They are right behind us."

"Da da da" light and heavy machine guns kept firing at the Japs. In just 20 minutes, the infantry company had launched three charges towards Kong Jie's position.

"Captain, the Japanese are crazy. They don't care about casualties and just want to get through our defense line. What should we do? Our troops and equipment are far behind the Japanese."

Political Commissar Li Wenying described the situation on the battlefield to Kong Jie, and Kong Jie's eyebrows were furrowed. His troops' equipment and manpower were really no match for the New 1st Regiment. Although the Japanese vanguard regiment did not carry heavy weapons, it would be difficult for the independent regiment to hold them off alone.

"Ring..." At this time, the phone next to Kong Jie rang.

"Kong Jie, is it a bit difficult to fight at the front?" The voice of the brigade commander sounded on the phone.

Kong Jie puffed out his chest and shouted loudly: "It's not hard. Brigade Commander, I promise to make sure that the Japanese regiment can't move an inch."

"Okay, this is not how you fight. I want you to withdraw from your positions and retreat to the rear of the 772nd Regiment. Let the 771st Regiment take over and block the enemy. I want the three regiments to take turns to consume the enemy's manpower, so that they can see hope of advancing but face obstacles at every step."

"Yes, Brigade Commander." Kong Jie put down the phone and notified the troops to retreat to the rear.

While Shen Yan was waiting anxiously, Tianming ran into the room.

"Captain, the brigade commander sent a telegram saying that they have come into conflict with the 17th Brigade."

Shen Yan stood up immediately: "Great, pass on my order, the entire company will assemble and withdraw from Changye County. Our mission is accomplished. As long as we meet up with the brigade commander, we will be victorious."

Tianming also ran out with a happy smile to inform the company commander.

At midnight, Shen Yan led everyone to evacuate Changye County in an orderly manner.

Everyone marched towards the direction of the 386th Brigade, and received a telegram from the brigade commander at dawn on the way.

"Captain, the brigade commander said that the headquarters is mobilizing troops to prepare for a full-scale counterattack against the Japanese army along the direction of Shuicheng. The brigade commander said that the head of the headquarters asked you to pay attention to your safety and said that you have done enough for the overall situation. You must arrive at the brigade headquarters safely!"

Shen Yan nodded: "Okay, the battle has finally come to daybreak, brothers, hurry up and go home!"

"go home!"
