"Captain, have there been any unusual movements by the Japanese in Changye County during the few days I was away?" Shen Yan asked Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong shook his head: "No, the newly added Japanese troops have been hiding in the county town and two strongholds. Even when Zhang Dong and his men led several luring attacks at night, the Japanese only fired guns on the city wall and did not send out a single soldier."

Shen Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that this group of devils has received a death order to strictly guard Changye County. What do you think, Captain?"

Li Yunlong pointed to the scope of the base area in southeastern Shanxi on the map and said: "The 40,000 Japanese troops have invaded our base area. If I were the superior, I would first transfer the civilians in advance, lead the Japanese troops around in the mountainous areas, and once there is a chance, I would take the opportunity to attack the county town where the Japanese defense is lax, so that these tens of thousands of people will become a group of isolated troops and then eat them up."

This is Li Yunlong's fighting style. No matter what the situation is, the first thing he thinks of is always to attack.

Shen Yan also deeply agreed that the New 1st Regiment was currently strong and confident that it could deal with the Japanese in southeastern Shanxi.

"Captain, I plan to transfer some of the Seven Swords of Liuyun to protect the headquarters and the brigade commander. Once the Japanese really invade on a large scale, the first target will definitely be the headquarters. I estimate that there are many people like us around the Japanese, so we have to be on guard," Shen Yan suggested.

"You are right. The safety of the head of headquarters comes first. I agree."

After the two of them had reached an agreement, Shen Yan found Zhang Dong.

"Brother Zhang, I plan to ask you and your fellow brothers to report to the brigade headquarters. There will be a big war soon, and our 937th Battalion cannot be gathered together. Once the Japanese invaders and aliens appear in other battlefields, other troops will not be able to prevent them."

Zhang Dong agreed: "Captain, you give the order."

"Okay, then let the soldiers from the communications squad take Zhaonan, Yuncong and others to the brigade headquarters tomorrow and obey the command of the brigade commander."

In the following days, Shen Yan led the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment to mobilize the people in the base to move to a safe area in the rear.

But problems also followed. The first and biggest problem was that the new regiment was short of food and fodder. Once the guerrilla warfare was launched, the food would not last long.

Their new regiment did not have any supplies, and the Japanese chose this time period because they saw that the Eighth Route Army was short of food and wages.

Shen Yan was a little worried. The Japanese were all hiding in the city and did not give the New 1st Regiment any chance to ambush them. According to intelligence, there was not much food stored in Changye County and the two strongholds, and they were heavily guarded when they were escorted.

So he decided to discuss it with You Ke and go to Changye City to do something in the next few days. He would rob some Japanese foreign companies and ask Mu Yun to buy some food. If he couldn't rob the food, he would rob the Japanese's money. Anyway, Shen Yan couldn't do anything except chanting, and he could only rob. He would rob whatever the Japanese had.

When they arrived at You Ke and You Shou's room, You Ke was teaching the four children a lesson.

"Li Sen, take your three brothers back to Tang Clan tomorrow. A big war is about to start, and you can't stay here anymore." You Ke advised earnestly.

Li Sen looked miserable: "Master, please let us stay. We can help you."

You Shou also persuaded: "Listen to your master, this time is different from the past. If you stay, we will not have the energy to take care of you. It is normal for us in the Tang Sect to suffer casualties during missions, but if you are injured on a battlefield like this, your master and I will be uneasy for the rest of our lives."

As they were talking, Shen Yan walked in.

You Ke saw that his face looked a little ugly and asked: "Captain, what's wrong? Why do you look so ugly?"

Shen Yan smacked his lips and said, "Let me check the food supply. If we face a raid, we may not be able to hold out for long. I plan to take you two to Changye to do some work in the next two days and get some money from the devils."

You Ke looked at the four children and said, "Go back to your rooms and pack your bags. The captain and I have something to discuss."

Li Sen and his three companions said hello to Shen Yan and walked out the door.

The other three looked at Li Sen: "Brother, should we go pack our bags?"

Li Sen's eyes turned and he said, "What the hell are you trying to clean up? Didn't you hear what the captain said? Our regiment is short of food. This is a good opportunity. If we solve the problem in advance, we can stay here, right?"

Wang Mo was a little hesitant: "But if Master finds out, we will be in trouble."

Li Sen waved his hand and said, "It's okay. We will set out tonight and be back early tomorrow morning. We will ask Brother Huzi about the location of Changye County. We will also bring some grenades and explosive packs to give a warning to the Japanese in Changye at night."

The three little ones were also excited after hearing this, so the four of them went to find Hu Zi and started to talk to him.

After dinner, the four pretended to pack their luggage, and You Ke wrote a letter to ask about their safety and prepared for them to take it back to the head of the sect and Master Hong.

Li Sen took the letter and said that he was a little sleepy, so he took the three of them back to their room to rest. You Ke didn't think much about it, and after patrolling the base, he returned to his room.

In the dead of night, the four kids activated their illusionary bodies and came to the place where the ammunition depot was guarded. Several of them used sleeping pills to knock down the visible and hidden sentries guarding the ammunition depot.

They pried open the ammunition depot, took several grenades and a pack of explosives from inside, and rushed to Changye County under the cover of night.

Just when they were about to reach Changye County, a soldier who was changing shifts in the New 1st Regiment discovered several soldiers lying on the ground and hurriedly blew the whistle.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The logistics troops in charge of guarding the ammunition depot got up and rushed to the scene with guns as soon as possible.

Shen Yan and You Ke and others also arrived fully armed.

"What's going on?" Shen Yan asked the soldiers around him.

The soldier who was changing guard came running over and said, "Captain, I was just about to change guard when I found a comrade from our squad lying on the ground. He was still breathing but I couldn't wake him up."

Shen Yan hurriedly checked and found that several soldiers were not injured and their breathing was stable, as if they were poisoned by drugs. Shen Yan was not good at drug poisoning, so he asked You Ke and You Shou to take a look.

You Ke's face darkened after reading it. He came to Shen Yan and said, "Captain, this is the Tang Sect's drug."

"Tang Sect?" The two looked at each other and realized that something was wrong. They left Youshou to wake up a few people, and the two went to the room of the four children to check.

I found the bed was cold and I had been walking for a long time.

You Ke cursed inwardly: "These four bastards!"

Li Yunlong also rushed back from the scene and asked Shen Yan: "What's going on? Was there an enemy sneak attack?"

Shen Yan explained that it was not the case, and it might have been Ke’s four disciples who pried open the ammunition depot.

Li Yunlong nodded: "There was nothing lost inside, just a dozen grenades and a pack of explosives. If it were the enemy, they wouldn't have made such a big fuss."

Hu Zi interrupted and said, "They won't go to Changye County, will they? They asked me about the route to Changye during the day, but I didn't pay any attention."

Shen Yan suddenly realized: "These four children must have gone to Changye County to rob the Japanese trading company. During the day, I discussed with You Ke about going to Changye to get some money to buy food, and they heard it."

Li Yunlong laughed loudly after hearing this: "Xiao You, I think these apprentices of yours are good and have a lot of blood. If they still want to stay, I will approve them. They can stay with me and serve as my guards."

You Ke smiled bitterly: "Captain, please stop praising these four bastards. I will definitely skin them alive when they come back."

Shen Yan also advised: "Don't talk about this for now, call Ah Shou, and the three of us will go to Changye to meet them."

Then let Xinyi work harder tonight and be on night duty at the base.

This also reminded Shen Yan that the 937th Battalion had to arrange night guards every night, otherwise they would suffer a great loss if the Japanese aliens came.
