Under One Person: I am the Master of Maoshan

Chapter 20 Encirclement and Annihilation

"Captain, Captain, wake up!"

Shen Yan felt like he was shaken awake: "What's wrong?"

A soldier laughed and said: "Captain, you must have had a nightmare. I see you are sweating and your brows are furrowed."

Shen Yan smiled awkwardly and looked at his watch. It was already about half past one. He gave the order: "Wake up all the soldiers and prepare for battle."

Everyone woke each other up and heard Shen Yan say, "Everyone, make yourself a little messy. My gunshot will be your signal."

Shen Yan led the group and pretended to be dispersed and rushed to the Lizhuang stronghold. When they approached the Lizhuang stronghold, the guarding Japanese soldiers raised their guns and shouted: "Don't move!"

Even though Shen Yan didn't know Japanese, he could guess what was going on. Then he stopped and raised his hands above his head while jogging: "Taijun, Taijun, we've been ambushed."

The two Japanese soldiers looked at each other, neither of them understood, and then said, "Which unit are you from?"

Shen Yan made gestures: "We are being shot at, dying!"

A Japanese soldier had no choice but to go in and inform the lieutenant in charge of guarding the stronghold.

Soon a lieutenant came out with an interpreter, who asked, "Which unit are you from?"

Shen Yan replied, "We are the Imperial Army from a nearby village. We followed them on a sweep and unexpectedly encountered an ambush at Yangchang Mountain. Our commander asked me to deliver a letter and ask for reinforcements."

After the translator translated, the Japanese lieutenant said: "Come with me and report the details."

Shen Yan nodded and walked in, saying, "Sir, let my brothers have some water. They are the most loyal soldiers of the Empire of Japan, and we ran all the way here."

The Japanese lieutenant waved his hand and said, "Yoshi."

Shen Yan followed him inside and observed the strength of the Japanese troops out of the corner of his eye. There were about a dozen of them standing guard inside and outside.

After entering the command center, Shen Yan's brothers were drinking water in the yard, each finding a position close to the Japanese.

The translator asked: "Can you tell me what happened in detail?"

Shen Yan smiled at him at this time: "I was wondering if you are so happy to be a dog of the Japanese devils?"

After hearing what he said, the interpreter's face changed and he was about to speak when he saw Shen Yan holding a needle in his left hand and a gun in his right hand and starting working at the same time.

"Da da da"

In a blink of an eye, the Japanese lieutenant was the only one left in the room. At this time, gunfire was opened outside. Three or five people who were close to the room stabbed the Japanese with bayonets at the same time. The remaining twenty or so Japanese in the barracks heard the gunshots and rushed over with guns.

Shen Yan looked at him with a smile while holding the gun: "How do you want to die? Tell me."

The Japanese lieutenant put his hands on his waist, not daring to move. Shen Yan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and shot him right in the middle of his eyebrows: "You got it easy."

Then he walked out of the command post and gave the order: "Follow me, eliminate the remaining Japanese soldiers, and then search each house."

When they turned the corner, they met soldiers rushing over from the barracks. Shen Yan raised his hand and shot two Japanese soldiers dead, and the rest were also killed by his soldiers. The prepared fought against the unprepared, and the majority fought against the minority. At such a close distance, no matter how high the combat skills were, they were useless.

After searching for a few rounds, a soldier came running over and said, "Captain, the Japanese soldiers guarding the gate ran away. We missed them."

Shen Yan nodded: "Don't worry about them, we just want them to go back and report the news."

Then he looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, quickly clean up the battlefield and find the enemy's ammunition depot."

Several soldiers found the ammunition depot not far from the barracks at the back. Shen Yan went in and was delighted to see four light machine guns and two mortars inside, with a lot of bullets and shells in the boxes.

Everyone carried some on their backs, and Shen Yan also carried a box of shells. After cleaning up the battlefield, he led everyone out. Some soldiers suggested, "Should the company commander blow up their barracks?"

Shen Yan smiled contemptuously: "No need, keep it for the devils, and come and get it next time when we need something."

He led everyone to Yangchang Mountain to meet up with Li Yunlong. Assuming that the Japanese would not be able to return in time, Shen Yan did not order a forced march, but walked at a normal speed.

The fleeing devils ran into Changye County and found the garrison captain Nigong Kazuo. When Nigong Kazuo heard that the Lizhuang stronghold had been lost, he stamped his feet in anger and slapped the soldier in the face with both hands: "Baga!"

The soldiers were so scared that they dared not move. Ninomiya Kazuo thought about it calmly and decided not to send troops. There were less than half of the soldiers left in the county. If he sent them out, he would be tricked into luring the tiger away from the mountain. His own county would be in danger. If he lost the county, he would have to commit suicide. The loss of some soldiers and strongholds was nothing.

After thinking it over, Ninomiya Kazuo said to his adjutant Oda, "Mr. Oda, send a telegram to the mopping-up troops and ask them to return to defend the area."

At this time, the telegraph operator came in and said, "Captain, there was a call from the Tongtai stronghold, saying that a group of soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Imperial Army broke into the Tongtai stronghold."

Ninomiya Kazuo threw away the teacup in front of him after hearing this and said, "This is premeditated. Our plan to clean up the countryside must have been leaked. Send a telegram immediately and have all troops return to defend the area."

"Hi"

The Japanese troops who were raiding the area near the base were at a loss as almost all the houses were empty and they had no idea what had happened.

The leader was the deputy captain of the Ninomiya Battalion. The telegraph operator ran over and said, "Captain Ninomiya ordered all of us to return to defend. The enemy has occupied our stronghold."

The Japanese deputy captain then realized that he had fallen into a trap and ordered all troops to assemble and rush back to Changye County as quickly as possible.

Li Yunlong had been lying in the ambush position for nearly two days and one night. He looked at his watch to calculate the time. If the plan went according to plan, the Japanese should have returned by now, so he ordered everyone to cheer up and prepare for battle.

After nearly an hour, the soldier who was on guard in the distance ran over and said, "Captain, the Japanese are coming, and they look very anxious, running forward at their maximum speed."

Li Yunlong chuckled: "It seems that Xiao Shen and Zhang Dabiao have finished their work. It's our turn now. Pass the order down. Everyone should listen to my gunshot as a signal. Light and heavy machine guns should fire together. Today, I will have an open fight."

The Japanese troops ran into the trap set up by Li Yunlong. They took this route when they came, so they relaxed their vigilance when they returned. In addition, the death order given by Ninomiya Kazuo made the deputy captain of the team unable to care about much.

Li Yunlong let the leading troops go, and when all the Japanese soldiers walked into the ambush circle, he took out a Type 38 rifle and "bang", killing a Japanese soldier with one shot.

Hu Zi and others nearby heard the gunshots and pulled the fuse of the mine, only to hear: "Boom boom boom..."

The mines kept exploding, blowing up the bodies of the Japanese soldiers in the middle section. Li Yunlong set up light and heavy machine guns at both ends of the narrow mountain road, targeting the Japanese outside the minefield. All of a sudden, the Japanese fell to the ground in large numbers.

The deputy captain of the team realized that they were targeting him and his men. He was half heartbroken, but he still drew his command knife and shouted, "Retreat, retreat!"

Shen Yan heard the gunshots not far away and ordered: "Everyone put down your weights and prepare for battle." He pulled out his revolver and led everyone to cover the Japanese soldiers who wanted to escape like a lid.

None of the soldiers led by Shen Yan knew how to use mortars, otherwise the battle would have been much easier.

Zhang Dabiao also led his soldiers to attack the Japanese's Piyanzi from the rear.

Li Yunlong couldn't stop smiling. This was the first time he won so easily against the Japanese. When he saw the Japanese wanted to run away, he gave the order: "Blow the charge horn, everyone follow me and rush forward to chop these bastards to pieces!"
