Courtyard House: Home Alone

With a deafening roar, the machine gun nest was instantly engulfed in flames and thick smoke. The Japanese soldiers inside didn't even have time to scream before they were blown back to their homes.

After eliminating two firing positions in succession, Lin Yifan's movements finally alerted the Japanese soldiers inside Fengtai Station.

The piercing alarm suddenly sounded, and the once quiet station instantly became noisy, with footsteps, shouts, and gunshots all mixed together.

Lin Yifan knew that the real battle had begun. He didn't linger in the fight, quickly moving to the next target point and using his teleportation skill to traverse through the Japanese defenses, like a demon from hell, leaving behind only devastation and the corpses of Japanese soldiers in his wake.

He would sometimes suppress the enemy with machine guns, sometimes destroy fortifications with grenades, and sometimes transform into a melee weapon killer, reaping the lives of the Japanese soldiers at close range.

Although the Japanese soldiers outnumbered the Japanese, they were unable to mount any effective resistance under Lin Yifan's unpredictable attacks and could only passively take hits. The entire defensive line quickly descended into chaos.

Lin Yifan's goal was clear: to completely eliminate the Japanese troops in Fengtai, destroy their defense system there, cut off their supply lines, and disrupt their deployment.

He fought his way to the core area of ​​the station, where several military trains were parked, along with a considerable amount of weaponry and supplies.

Lin Yifan naturally wouldn't be polite with these things. While clearing out the stubbornly resisting Japanese soldiers, he also stored the usable supplies into his spatial storage.

The battle lasted for nearly three hours, and the gunfire inside Fengtai Station gradually subsided. Lin Yifan stood on the wrecked platform, his body covered in blood, the samurai sword in his hand still dripping blood.

He looked around and, after confirming that there were no survivors, finally let out a long sigh of relief. This raid, though dangerous, was quite fruitful, eliminating about two thousand Japanese soldiers. It was estimated that the Japanese had brought in a large battalion from elsewhere.

In addition, twelve military horses were captured, which was another unexpected bonus.

This operation not only removed the Japanese invaders' stronghold in Fengtai, but also seized a large amount of military supplies. More importantly, it dealt a significant blow to the Japanese invaders' arrogance.

He didn't linger there. After quickly destroying the station facilities, he retreated towards the exit of the station. He needed to hurry back to tell Grandpa Tang so that he could arrange for someone to come to Fengtai.

From now on, no more troops will be allowed to be stationed here. If the Japanese are not afraid of death, Lin Yifan will not hesitate to send them on their way.

He drove back to the city, but instead of going directly to see Grandpa Tang, he headed towards the yard where the supplies were stored, guessing that Shi Tou and the others were still transferring supplies.

Sure enough, when he arrived at the yard where the supplies were stored, Shi Tou and Zhao Gang were standing at the gate. Seeing a car approaching in the distance, Shi Tou immediately drew his gun and hid behind a gatepost, shouting something into the yard.

Lin Yifan rolled down the car window and shouted outside, "Brother Stone, it's me!"

Hearing Lin Yifan's voice, Shi Tou peeked out from behind the doorpost. Seeing Lin Yifan driving, he breathed a sigh of relief, holstered his pistol, and stepped out: "Young master, it's you! You gave me quite a fright. Young master, you can drive this thing?"

Lin Yifan smiled, parked the car, and got out. "I know a little bit. How's it going? Are the supplies all packed?"

Shi Tou nodded hurriedly, his face beaming with excitement: "Everything's packed, young master! You wouldn't believe it, that amount of food and medicine is enough for the brothers to use for a while! And those twenty warhorses, each one is exceptionally fine. Chen Dashan and the other cavalrymen are practically staring at them!"

Zhao Gang stepped forward, smiled, and said, "Young master, this horse... it's truly magnificent! Much larger than any we've seen before!"

Lin Yifan patted Zhao Gang on the shoulder and arm: "A good horse is a hero. If you have any urgent business to attend to in the future, these horses will help you go faster and safer."

By the way, I've dealt with the Japanese in Fengtai. Go back and have the old man send people over immediately to keep a close eye on their movements. We absolutely cannot let the Japanese occupy the area again.

"What?!" Shi Tou and Zhao Gang exclaimed at the same time, their faces filled with disbelief.

Shi Tou stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Young Master, you...you're all alone?"

Lin Yifan remained noncommittal, saying calmly, "Not a single Japanese soldier was left inside. I also destroyed the station's facilities; they won't be able to use them again anytime soon."

You should arrange for people to take over Fengtai as soon as possible. It is a very important strategic location. If we control Fengtai, we can block the Japanese from supporting Beiping from the south.

"You don't need to guard. Just continue to move forward and keep an eye on the Japanese movements, just like you did in the other directions. I'll handle the rest."

Shi Tou gasped, his eyes filled with awe as he looked at Lin Yifan. He knew Lin Yifan was powerful, but he hadn't expected him to be this powerful—single-handedly taking down the heavily fortified Japanese forces in Fengtai! It was as if a god of war had descended to earth!

Zhao Gang was so excited that his face turned red. As a former soldier, he knew better than anyone how difficult it was to capture a strong Japanese stronghold. Lin Yifan had simply created a miracle!

"Young master, you...you're amazing!" Zhao Gang's voice trembled slightly.

Lin Yifan waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's all for fighting the Japanese. Alright, it's getting late, hurry up and transport the supplies and horses back, and be careful on the road."

"Have Grandpa Tang send someone over to Fengtai as soon as possible. I reckon the Japanese will find out about the situation there very soon."

"Yes! Don't worry, young master!" Shi Tou nodded vigorously, the shock in his heart still lingering. He now had absolute faith in Lin Yifan's orders.

"Well then, young master, we'll be going now," Stone said.

"Okay, go ahead." Lin Yifan nodded. Shi Tou and Zhao Gang didn't delay any longer and immediately directed their men to drive the carriages and warhorses away from the courtyard quietly.

Lin Yifan watched their departing figures until they disappeared into the night before turning around and driving his Ford sedan towards the courtyard house.

It was already three in the morning, and there wasn't a single pedestrian on the street. Lin Yifan parked his car at the entrance of the alley, then put the car away and walked back to the courtyard house.

By this time, the gate of the courtyard house had already been bolted shut. He went to the backyard, leaped into the backyard with a light touch of his feet, and quietly returned to his room.

He closed the door, slipped into the space, washed himself thoroughly, and changed into clean clothes. With a thought, he appeared beside Wang Defa, who was restrained to one side, and released him from his restraints: "Wang Defa, how is it? Finished writing everything?"

Wang Defa had been imprisoned in one place for nearly forty hours, and was both thirsty and hungry. Suddenly free, he was still somewhat disoriented. He staggered before regaining his balance, his face a mixture of fear and obsequiousness: "It's...it's all written, Mr. 'Ghost,' exactly as you wished. I guarantee there's not a single falsehood!"

As he spoke, he quickly picked up several sheets of paper covered with writing from the ground, held them up with both hands, and handed them over, saying, "Please take a look, please take a look."

Lin Yifan took the paper and examined it carefully by the light in the room.
