Crossing the Rise of Special Forces

While Xu Yan and others were chasing non-stop into the depths of Jiming Mountain, Zhao Wenyu was riding horses with the seriously injured Liu Dianchen and rushing towards Jiming Mountain Village.

As they hurried on, Zhao Wenyu called out Liu Dianchen's name, "Boss, please hold on! We'll be at the mountain stronghold soon! You must hold on!"

At this time, Liu Dianchen was close to coma due to excessive blood loss.

The Jiming Mountain Village was in chaos. Liu Diangong could clearly hear the dense gunfire coming from not far away at the foot of the mountain. He didn't know what had happened, but he was sure that his elder brother had not returned for such a long time and must have met with an accident!

He was so anxious that he kept pacing back and forth in the village, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. However, his eldest brother had told him before he left that no matter what happened he must not leave the village, so he did not dare to move at all.

Zhao Wenyu also felt exhausted. He had been tossing and turning all night. He was a weak scholar to begin with, and after experiencing the fierce battle just now, he was only holding on with one breath.

Fortunately, we are almost at the village, and we can vaguely see the mountain gate in front of us!

But at this moment, more than twenty armed men rushed out from the woods on both sides.

Zhao Wenyu was so frightened that he fell off his horse.

The leader rushed forward and helped him up.

"Second Master, are you okay?"

When Zhao Wenyu heard this, he knew it must be someone from his own village and he immediately relaxed. He was finally saved.

"Who told you to go down the mountain? Why are you here?"

The leader replied: "The second in command is Liu Kunyi from Camel Mountain!"

Ah? Hearing this, Zhao Wenyu was stunned and motionless, because he knew that Camel Mountain had surrendered to the Dongning Army long ago! Seeing the people from Camel Mountain here, the situation was already very clear.

That's right, the people intercepting here are the three platoons led by Liu Kunyi. Xu Yan had arranged for him to wait here to intercept anyone who tried to escape back to the mountain village. Unexpectedly, Xu Yan was right! He actually found the leader and the second leader of Jiming Mountain here!

Soon Xu Yan and his men arrived.

Seeing Liu Dianchen fainted due to excessive blood loss, Xu Yan quickly ordered his men to bandage him and stop the bleeding. Even if it was a heinous Hu Zi, he could not just stand by and watch him die.

Xu Yan looked at Zhao Wenyu who was sitting next to him and said slowly, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Zhao."

"Who are you? Everything that happened tonight was planned by you, right?"

"I am Xu Yan, the commander of the 7th Company of the newly formed th Brigade under the command of Governor Wu of the Dongning Army in Heilongjiang Province. Today is just a coincidence. A few days ago, my troops discovered your spies who came down the mountain, guessed your goal, and set an ambush."

"You have schemed against our entire Jiming Mountain! What a great move! I admire you!"

"I have one more request that needs your help, Mr. Zhao." Xu Yan said with a smile.

"You want me to take you to the mountain village? That's impossible!" Zhao Wenyu said in a deep voice.

"Mr. Zhao is a smart man. You have also seen that your boss's injury is very serious. I hope to end this fight as soon as possible, so that I can treat your boss's injury as soon as possible! Of course, if Mr. Zhao doesn't want to lead the way, we don't force him. We can also take down Jiming Mountain by ourselves!" Xu Yan said firmly.

Zhao Wenyu was still hesitating, but Xu Yan had lost his patience. With a wave of his hand, Liu Kun stepped forward, tied Zhao Wenyu up tightly, and stuffed his mouth.

Everyone helped Liu Dianchen onto the horse and headed towards Jiming Mountain Stronghold.

Liu Kun and his group walked in front, while Xu Yan and the rest of the group followed closely in the distance. After walking for more than an hour, they finally arrived at the gate of Jiming Village.

Liu Kunyi looked at the gate of the mountain stronghold from afar and thought that it was more imposing than our Camel Mountain! There was even a guard post above the gate!

Seeing someone coming, someone at the gate sentry immediately shouted:

"Stop! Who is it!"

Liu Kunyi walked to the front of the team and shouted, "Brothers, look carefully at our own people! The leader is injured, let us in quickly." As he spoke, he led the horse carrying Liu Dianchen over.

When the sentry saw that it was really the boss, he immediately sent someone to call Liu Diangong.

Not long after, Liu Diangong came over and saw that it was really his elder brother, but he did not see anyone else.

He shouted loudly, "Where are the others? Who hurt my eldest brother like this?"

"Fourth Master! We encountered an ambush when we were coming down the mountain. Second Master and Third Master rebelled on the spot! The big boss was not prepared at all, and was seriously injured by the second master and Leopard Cat beside him. After saying that, he pushed Zhao Wenyu over and said, "Fourth Master, please let us in! The big boss is almost dying!"

Liu Diangong was not a scheming person. When he heard that the second and third brothers, Leopard Cat and others were rebelling, and saw that his eldest brother was injured, he became anxious and shouted, "Open the door quickly!"

The attendant next to him noticed something was wrong and stopped Liu Diangong and said, "Fourth Master, I don't think something is right! These brothers look strange to me!"

But Liu Diangong didn't think about this anymore. He pushed his followers away and shouted, "How dare you hurt my eldest brother! Zhao Wenyu, Zhang Jingyuan! Don't fall into my hands! Otherwise you will suffer!" The gate of the stronghold slowly opened, and Liu Kunyi shouted, "Everyone, come in! Hurry up! Treat the boss's injury?" After that, he ran towards the gate.

Rushing into the village, Liu Kunyi no longer cared about Liu Dianchen! He shouted, "Brothers, charge! Guard the gate and wait for reinforcements! Take Jiming Mountain!"

Liu Diangong reacted immediately and realized he had been fooled, but it was too late!

There were also earth-shaking shouts and cries of killing coming from afar, and Xu Yan led the remaining personnel and arrived in time!

When the people of Jiming Mountain saw the situation, they were afraid that they had no chance of winning, so they dropped their weapons and raised their hands in surrender.

I didn’t expect that what I thought was a tough battle was over before it even started!

Xu Yan ordered his men to escort Liu Dianchen, Liu Diangong and all the captured personnel back to the base to await their fate.

Xu Yan had not expected to gain so much from an unexpected sneak attack. Personnel, equipment, supplies, etc., plus the more than a dozen trucks of supplies from the reclamation group, it is not an exaggeration to say that Xu Yan is now rich.

On the way back, Xu Yan called Zhao Wenyu to his side and walked back with him. The conversation along the way made him feel a sense of appreciation for Zhao Wenyu's talent.

Under the current circumstances, Zhao Wenyu is still loyal to Liu Dianchen, which shows that he is definitely not a villain who forgets his principles for the sake of profit!

"I wonder what Mr. Zhao's plans are for the future?"

"I am your prisoner. What else can I do? The life or death of the eldest master is unknown. Jiming Village has also been occupied by you. Now I can only accept your fate. It's up to you whether I live or die."

"Mr. Zhao, you are still so stubborn even now. It's like you are just being foolishly loyal. Good birds choose trees to roost in. The facts have proven that the Liu Dianchen brothers never believed in you. Zhang Jingyuan and others also schemed against you and used you as a scapegoat. Yet you still keep saying that you are my brothers?"

"Alas!" Zhao Wenyu couldn't help but sigh. How could he not be angry! He had worked so hard for Jiming Village, but in the end, he ended up like this. His grief and indignation were beyond words. It was a pity that Liu Dianchen and his brother had saved his life. Without Liu Dianchen and his brother, he would have been dead a few years ago!

Seeing that Zhao Wenyu did not answer, Xu Yan immediately said:

"A man will die for his confidant, and a woman will dress up for the man she likes. This is both right and wrong. You have to see clearly whether the person you are dying for truly understands you! Liu Dianchen and his men have done all kinds of evil things, burning, killing and looting the working people! I don't believe that such a heinous person could be Mr. Zhao's confidant! Back then, Mr. Zhao just couldn't stand the bully landlords exploiting the people, so he chose to join forces with the Liu brothers and committed a bloody crime."

"Nowadays, we are in a turbulent time, and the people are living in dire straits. The government is levying heavy taxes and the war is ongoing. The people are displaced. There are also bandits and bullies who are smashing, looting and burning. Outside, Japan is eyeing them and trying to seize the land! Mr. Zhao, is all he has learned in his life just to become a bandit who has committed many crimes? Has he never thought about saving the people from the dire straits?"

Xu Yan's words were so shocking to Zhao Wenyu! He had never thought about these things before, but after listening to Xu Yan's words, his heart was greatly shocked! In his heart, he knew clearly that Xu Yan was right, but how could he save the people from the water and fire in this chaotic world? Just relying on Xu Yan's more than a hundred people? It was a joke.

"I am really ashamed to hear Captain Xu's high-sounding speech, but I want to hear how Captain Xu will save the people from the dire situation. Can he rely solely on these one hundred people?"

Xu Yan looked at him and said seriously: "A single spark can start a prairie fire!"

After saying that, he rode forward without looking back!

The news that Xu Yan's troops had destroyed Jiming Mountain soon reached the Bincheng Governor's Mansion.

Looking at the telegram in front of him, Wu Junsheng couldn't help but smack his lips.

With a look of disbelief on his face, he asked his adjutant: "Is what's written here true? Did he wipe out the entire Jiming Mountain with just his ragtag army of more than a hundred people? Are there still Liu brothers alive?"

Of course Wu Junsheng didn't believe it. He had sent a regiment of troops and equipped heavy artillery to attack Jiming Mountain for a month, but he was beaten back without even seeing the gate of the mountain stronghold! Not only did he fail to capture it, but the troops also suffered heavy losses, with almost half of a regiment lost!

Now Xu Yan has only been in office for two months, and he knows exactly what kind of people he has under his command! This is simply a ragtag group of ragtag groups! The surrendered bandits and the remnant soldiers will probably cause trouble in maintaining public order! They only have the ability to bully the common people!

But now the entire Jiming Village has been wiped out! Is this a ghost?

Thinking of this, Wu Junsheng's curiosity was aroused, and he ordered: "Tomorrow is the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month. Get ready. I am going to inspect the Seventh Company in person!"

The next day, Xu Yan received the order and led his brothers to line up on the playground early, waiting for Wu Junsheng's arrival.

Soon, a car followed by a team of horses drove over.

The car stopped at the door and the adjutant opened it. Heilongjiang Governor Wu Junsheng slowly walked out of the car.

Xu Yan immediately shouted loudly: "Stand at attention! Salute!"

Everyone in the company stood at attention and saluted.

Wu Junsheng was stunned for a moment, then walked towards the team and raised his hand to signal everyone, "Brothers, you have worked hard! I heard that you won a great victory. I, Old Wu, came to see you and wish you all a happy new year in advance!"

Wu Junsheng had also worked hard for many years. Looking at the soldiers in front of him, his eyes lit up and he thought to himself, Xu Yan is really good at leading troops! The troops are neat and tidy, and they are full of energy and spirit. Even his own guards may not be in this state.

Wu Junsheng led everyone and pulled Xu Yan into the house.

Xu Yan led everyone to visit the company dormitory. Wu Junsheng couldn't help but secretly praise it. It can be seen that this was not a last-minute deal. The Dongning Army was famous for its poor military discipline, and the Dongning Army in Heilongjiang Province was even more lax. If all the troops were like this, Wu Junsheng would have no choice but to walk sideways in Fengtian!

Pulling Xu Yan, he said, "It seems that you are good at leading troops. You are worthy of being a soldier under General Guo. You lead troops well! This time, the annihilation of Jiming Mountain is a great achievement! Jiming Mountain is not easy to conquer. I sent a regiment before but failed to conquer it! Come on and tell everyone how you fought!"

Xu Yan could only tell the whole story. Of course, he omitted the fact that he knew about the attack on the reclamation team, and did not mention a word about the dozen trucks of supplies in the reclamation team.

After listening to Xu Yan's report, Wu Junsheng smiled and said, "The Jimingshan gang is so bold that they actually set their sights on our reclamation group! Lieutenant Colonel Mata of the Kwantung Army stationed in Heilongjiang Province even called to protest and asked us to severely punish the murderer."

"General, the mastermind of this incident, Liu Dianchen, has been killed in the battle, and the accomplice Liu Diangong has been arrested. The whereabouts of Zhang Jingyuan and Zhao Wenyu are unknown."

Wu Junsheng looked at Xu Yan with a playful expression and said, "No matter whether they live or die, hand the Liu brothers over to the Guandong Army for punishment. As for the materials seized from Jiming Mountain, you can keep half of them and hand over the rest to the provincial government. This matter ends here. You have made a great contribution, so I want to reward you! After saying this, he waved his hand."

The adjutant immediately stepped forward, opened the folder, and muttered in a deep voice: "Today, the commander of the 7th Company of the 4th Division of the Dongning Army, the newly formed th Brigade, Xu Yan, led his troops in a bloody battle to wipe out the Jiming Mountain bandits who had been entrenched for many years. He beheaded the bandit leader, captured many prisoners, and seized countless supplies. This battle wiped out the local bandit forces in one fell swoop, benefited the village, and made great contributions. Xu Yan is appointed as the lieutenant colonel deputy commander of the th Regiment, the newly formed th Brigade of the th Division of the Dongning Army! Fang Tianlong is appointed as the captain commander of the th Company of the th Regiment, Liu Fengquan is transferred to the captain commander of the th Company of the th Regiment, and Liu Kunyi is appointed as the captain commander of the newly formed th Company! To encourage them!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Directly promoted Xu Yan to deputy regiment commander? Governor Wu was really generous!

Only Xu Yan frowned slightly, but he immediately regained his joyful expression and applauded together.

Wu Junsheng laughed and said, "Do your best. The commander-in-chief also said that our Dongning Army will not mistreat our own people!"

"The New Year is coming soon. I brought some provisions for the brothers. Eat well and drink well. You will take up your post after the New Year!"

After seeing Wu Junsheng off, Xu Yan's face immediately darkened. A voice came from behind him:

"Deputy Captain? Interesting! They are trying to put you on the fire!"
