Volume 1: Fierce Resistance War Chapter 37: Taking Down the Cavalry Regiment

  Soon, Yang Chunrui received a telegram from Yang Chunduan. After reading the telegram, when Yang Chunrui was about to let someone forward the telegram to Hua Lieyang, he heard Yang Chunshao shouting loudly: "General is back!" Upon hearing the shout, Yang Chunrui immediately took the telegram and rushed over.

  After seeing Hua Lieyang, Ma Longhai said angrily: "Young General, you can't do this again! What if something happens to you and we have to explain it to Commander Yang?!" Hearing Ma Longhai's words, Hua Lieyang laughed and said: "Uncle Ma, I know you're concerned about me! But if I'm always under your care, how will I grow up?!"

  Ma Longhai nodded and said, "Since you think so, I won't say anything else!" As soon as Ma Longhai finished speaking, Hua Lieyang immediately asked, "What's the current situation with the wounded?!"

  "The wounded are still relatively stable now! The doctors we arranged before are quite competent!" Ma Longhai said seriously. As soon as Ma Longhai finished speaking, Yang Chunrui, who was sitting on the side, spoke up: "Jiting, now there are only over 200 people in our team who are unscathed! There are over 600 lightly and severely wounded!"

  Yang Chunrui had just finished speaking when Hua Lieyang thought for a moment and said: "Uncles, I have something to discuss with you!"

  "What's going on?!" Ma Longhai and the others asked in unison. Hua Lieyang furrowed his brow and said, "I want to take people to rescue Shuang Shu and them!" As soon as Hua Lieyang finished speaking, Ma Longhai said without hesitation, "Ji Ting, you just stay with everyone! I'll take Uncle Ma to go!"

  Hua Lieyang shook his head and said, "Uncle Ma, I'll go instead! If no one is here to take care of things, I won't be at ease!" After thinking for a moment, Hua Lieyang continued, "Uncle Ma, don't worry! With Xiao Shu and the others following me, nothing will happen!"

  Ma Longhai looked at Yang Chunxiao beside him and said to Hua Lieyang, "Alright! But let Chun Chao bring a company of brothers with you! Only then can we be at ease!" Upon hearing Ma Longhai's words, Yang Chunxiang immediately chimed in, "Ji Ting, just follow Uncle Ma's arrangement!"

  Helpless, Hua Lieyang could only compromise and nod in agreement. Seeing Hua Lieyang agree, Liu Changgeng suddenly asked: "Ji Ting, when are you planning to leave?!"

  "I'm leaving early tomorrow!" Hu Lieyang said seriously.

  The next morning, Hua Lieyang led more than 100 people to leave the main force and head towards Lao Ye Ling. Around noon, Hua Lieyang looked at his watch and said to Yang Chunshu: "Uncle Chun, let's take a break here! Let's eat something here! If we go further forward, we'll encounter the little devils!"

  Everyone stopped when they heard Hua Lieyang's words, each finding a place to sit down and taking out dry rations from their bags to eat with relish. After a while, Hua Lieyang said to Yang Chunsheng, "Uncle Super, immediately send an electric inquiry to Double Uncle to ask about the situation there!"

  After receiving the order from Hua Lieyang, Yang Chuncai started to get busy. Three or four minutes later, Yang Chunduo received a telegram. Looking at the telegram, Yang Chunduo smiled and said: "Brothers, General Shao is coming to reinforce us!" Hearing Yang Chunduo's words, the temporarily low morale of the soldiers was restored once again.

  Looking at the soldiers who were replying with high morale, Yang Chunshuang smiled and said: "Brothers, we set off. As long as we cross the Maqiao River, we can get rid of the little devils!" He then turned to Yang Chunshan beside him and said: "Immediately send a telegram to General Shao, telling him that we are now crossing the Maqiao River!"

  After receiving Yang Chundui's telegram, Hua Lieyang thought for a moment and said to Yang Chunshu: "Send a telegram to tell Uncle Shuang that we will meet with them at Bensongzi Ridge in three days!" As soon as Yang Chunshu heard Hua Lieyang's words, he was taken aback and asked faintly: "Jiting, how can we rush to Bensongzi Ridge within three days?!"

  Hua Lieyang smiled and said, "Super Uncle, don't worry! If I remember correctly, Young Marshal has a cavalry regiment nearby!" As soon as Hua Lieyang finished speaking, Yang Chunxiao immediately said, "Ji Ting, you're not talking about the cavalry regiment that has already surrendered to the little devils, are you?!"

  Hua Lieyang nodded and said: "Why not?! With this battalion of horses, we can each ride three horses on the road, greatly increasing our speed!"

  "Ji Ting, it's not me who hit you! Not everyone can handle three horses alone!" Yang Chunfeng said seriously. Upon hearing their words, Hua Lieyang smiled and said: "Our top priority now is to take down the cavalry regiment!"

  "Alright! You said when are we going to take action!" Yang Chun asked seriously, knowing that he couldn't change Hua Lieyang's decision. Upon hearing Yang Chun's words, Hua Lieyang furrowed his brow and thought for a moment before saying: "We'll act immediately!" As he spoke, Hua Lieyang instructed Yang Chun: "Uncle Super, you take the brothers to control the horses and cut off this cavalry regiment's connection with the outside! Xiao Uncle, you come with me to meet the commander of this cavalry regiment!"

  When Hua Lieyang finished speaking, Yang Chunxiao and the others simultaneously opened the safety of their waist-hung pistols and switched their shotguns to continuous firing mode. After a while, Hua Lieyang saw that they were all ready and smiled, saying: "We're going to ask them for something! We're not going there to die! What's everyone so tense about?"

  Yang Chunxiao saw Hua Lieyang's appearance and smiled, saying: "We don't have your calmness in the face of trouble!" Looking around at the people, Yang Chunxiao continued, "Ji Ting, shouldn't we be leaving now?!"

  Hua Lieyang nodded and said, "Alright! Let's go!" After finishing speaking, Hua Lieyang led the way towards the cavalry camp. They walked for a while before a barracks appeared in front of everyone. The guards standing at the entrance of the barracks became tense when they saw more than ten fully armed people wearing Northeast Army uniforms suddenly appear in front of them.

  Yang Chunxiao saw the tense look on the soldier's face at the door and suddenly wanted to laugh, but she still held back a serious expression and said: "Go inform your battalion commander, tell him that Yang Yutian, the grandson of Commander Yang, has arrived! Call him out to greet me!"

  The guard at the entrance of the military camp heard Yang Chunxiao's words and suddenly felt a thud in his heart! Because the guard knew that before Yang Yuting died, their superior was Yang Yuting! After a while, the guard who came back to his senses immediately said with a flattering tone: "Please wait for a moment! I'll go report now!" After finishing speaking, the guard turned around and left.

  He rushed into the commander's room, where the commander was having a good time. Seeing the guard rushing in, the commander suddenly became angry and said: "You little devil, blind your dog eyes! Don't you dare to rush in without looking?!". The commander patted the prostitute on his lap, who stood up with a resentful look and left.

  After the prostitute left, the guard said with a relaxed tone: "Captain, Yang Shuai's grandson is here!" Hearing the guard's words, the captain immediately furrowed his brow and asked: "Which Yang Shuai?!"

  "Yang Yu Ting, Yang Shuai!" The guard said seriously. Upon hearing the guard's words, the camp commander thought for a moment before asking: "How many of them came?!"

  "Eleven!" The guard replied seriously. The battalion commander nodded and said, "Go call the three company commanders!" After a while, the three company commanders walked into the battalion commander's room. Seeing that everyone was present, the battalion commander spoke straightforwardly: "Yang Yuting's grandson has arrived! How do you brothers view this?! This kid's head is now very valuable to the Japanese!"

  As soon as the battalion commander's words fell, the whole room suddenly boiled up. After a while, a regimental commander took the lead and said: "Battalion commander, if we take action against Yang Shuai's grandson, isn't it a bit inappropriate?! After all, Yang Shuai was not thin to us when he was alive!" As soon as one voice fell, another voice rang out and said: "Yang Shuai was not thin to us! However, this is now and that was then. We are now holding the rice bowl of the Japanese people!"

  Just then, a voice was heard: "What a Japanese rice bowl!" Then, Hua Lieyang led Yang Chunxiao and others to burst into the camp commander's room. The camp commander saw the intruders and immediately called out in a panic: "Who are you?!"

  Hua Lieyang burst out laughing and said, "I am Yang Yuting's grandson, Hua Lieyang!" Looking at his watch with a smile, he said to the battalion commander, "You're getting more and more outrageous! Have you forgotten that you are still Chinese?"

  When Hu Lieyang heard the battalion commander's words, he said unrepentantly: "What about Chinese people! Wherever they give me money and guns, I'll follow whoever mixes with them!" As soon as the battalion commander finished speaking, Hu Lieyang angrily pulled out his pistol from his waist and shot the battalion commander dead on the spot!

  The other three company commanders were stunned to see the company commander's corpse! Seeing this scene, Hua Lieyang smiled and said to another company commander: "You can also go down and accompany your company commander!" As he spoke, Hua Lieyang quickly broke the neck of that company commander with his bare hands without waiting for any reaction.

  Just then, Yang Chun-chao walked in and said to Hua Lie-yang: "General, not one of us was injured, we have successfully taken control of the entire military camp!"

  Hua Lieyang nodded and said, "Good!" Then Hua Lieyang looked at the remaining two battalion commanders and said, "I won't make things difficult for you today either. I'll just borrow a regiment's horses from you! However, I'm telling you, no matter what, don't ever collaborate with the little devils to bully Chinese people! Otherwise, I'll take your lives sooner or later!" After finishing speaking, Hua Lieyang left with his men, leading all the horses away.

  Seeing Hua Lieyang leave with his men, the two battalion commanders simultaneously slumped to the ground. After a while, one of them came back to their senses and said: "We'd better quickly report what happened here to the Japanese! Otherwise, our days will be difficult!"

  "Alright! It seems it can only be like this!" Another regimental commander agreed. Not long after, the Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese Kwantung Army, Honjō Shigeru, received a report from the puppet army's cavalry regiment and immediately summoned Ishiwara Kanji and Itagaki Seishirō to his office, saying: "Take a look! This Hua Luoyang is getting too arrogant! Why haven't our troops captured him yet?!"

  When Hattori Sojiro heard Honjō Shigeru's words, he looked at Ishihara Kanji. Ishihara Kanji was taken aback by Hattori Sojiro's gaze, and after a moment, he regained his composure and said seriously: "Commander, Hu Lieyang's maternal grandfather Yang Yuting has great influence in the Chinese army! Moreover, Hu Lieyang made a name for himself in our army's counterattack during the Battle of Shenyang! Most importantly, our control over the occupied areas is not good enough!"
