The War of Resistance Against Japan: Special Operations Battalion Traverses Shanghai and Slaughters

Long Fei's convoy sped towards Chuxian County, and soon entered the county town.

Xie Qiang rolled down his car window and asked a middle-aged man by the roadside for directions to the county government.

"Excuse me, sir, how do I get to the county government?"

"Sir, at this hour, there's no one left in the county government. I just saw County Chief Yan and Police Chief Huang go into Juxianlou together."

Xie Qiang paused for a moment, then asked, "Brother, how do I get to Juxianlou?"

The middle-aged man pointed and said, "After you reach the end of this road, turn right and keep going. You will then see Juxianlou."

Xie Qiang took out a cigarette, handed one to the middle-aged man, and thanked him with a smile.

"Okay, thanks, big brother."

After asking for directions, Xie Qiang turned to Long Fei for instructions.

"Commander, shall we go to Juxianlou?"

"Okay, I'll go, but wait a minute."

After saying that, Long Fei began calling the system.

"Little Whitey, Little Whitey, are you there?"

"Where else can I go if I'm not here? What do you want? Tell me."

It seems that every time he calls out to Xiaobaibai, he gets a scolding. Long Fei seems to have gotten used to it, shaking his head with a wry smile.

"I'd like to ask if your War God System has a query function?"

"I already told you, our War God System is not your average junk system, of course you can query it."

"Oh, why didn't you tell me?"

"You didn't ask, I forgot to mention it."

Long Fei rolled his eyes in exasperation: "You should have told me even if I hadn't asked."

"Stop babbling! I already told you, I forgot. Just tell me what you want to ask..."

Long Fei was truly at a loss with Xiao Bai Bai, and sighed as he was about to speak.

Unexpectedly, Xiaobaibai continued to lecture him.

"As the host of the War God System and the commander of the Dragon Flame Force, can you please stop being so negative and sighing all the time? Wouldn't it be better to be more positive and energetic?"

Hearing this, Xie Qiang, who was standing next to him, was about to burst out laughing, but he couldn't let it out. He had to hold it in so hard that he almost suffered internal injuries from holding it in.

Long Fei was so badly roasted by Xiao Bai Bai that he almost vomited blood.

"Okay, you're right, I'll pay attention next time."

"Hmm, good attitude. Go ahead, what do you want to inquire about?"

"I'd like to find out the general situation of Chuxian County after the Battle of Nanjing."

"Okay, wait a moment..."

A few seconds later, Little Whitey started babbling on and on.

"Not long after the Battle of Nanjing, the Japanese 13th Division crossed the Yangtze River from Nanjing and advanced northward along the Jinpu Railway."

"Faced with the fierce onslaught of the Japanese invaders, Yan Xijiu, the county magistrate of Chuxian, along with county government officials and local tyrants and gentry of Chuxian, fled to Xianzong Town."

"Immediately afterwards, the Japanese occupied Chuxian County, which offered no resistance, and burned, killed, and looted the county town."

"Huang Xingnong, the police chief of Chuxian County, led some of his police officers to defect to the Japanese and was appointed by the Japanese as the head of the Chuxian County Maintenance Association and the head of the Chamber of Commerce."

"Another one named Gong Xikui participated in the Xinhai Revolution in his early years. After leaving the military, he went into business and became a local tycoon who was extremely wealthy."

"After Chuzhou fell, he also voluntarily surrendered to the Japanese and became the puppet county magistrate of Chuzhou. These two were definitely traitors who helped the Japanese to harm many of their compatriots and were utterly devoid of conscience."

Now Long Fei had a better understanding of the situation, but he still needed to confirm some details.

"Little Bai, what about the local tyrants and bullies in the county town?"

"Tch, do you even need to ask? How many of the local tyrants and bullies of that era were good people? Who among them didn't seize by force and oppress and exploit the common people?"

"Okay, I understand, thank you, Little Whitey."

Unexpectedly, before leaving, Xiaobai gave one last reminder.

"By the way, just a reminder, I told you before that the War God System also considers your merits. If you eliminate traitors and teach local tyrants and bullies a lesson, you will accumulate merits."

After ending the call with Xiaobaibai, Longfei immediately instructed Sun Haitao to take the Second Company to meet up with the troops that had arrived in Chuxian County earlier.

He was also instructed to relay a message to Xu Peng, to contact the 57th Army via radio, and to inquire about their current location.

After Sun Haitao left to carry out his orders, Long Fei led Xie Qiang and the rest of the group to Juxianlou.

Two policemen were standing outside Juxianlou.

They saw several trucks parked in front of them, and then more than a hundred heavily armed soldiers got out of the trucks.

This sudden appearance made them nervous, and they hurriedly stepped forward to inquire.

"Sir, are you here for a meal?"

Xie Qiang replied irritably, "Are you just using your eyes to vent your anger? Did you come to this restaurant not to eat, but to take a bath?"

Although the two police officers sensed that Xie Qiang's tone was unfriendly, they still stopped him.

"Sir, I'm sorry, but Juxianlou Restaurant has been booked by the county magistrate and our bureau chief today. Please find another place to eat."

"Heh, with the country in crisis and the Japanese devils about to invade, your county magistrate and bureau chief are still here indulging in food and drink."

It was Long Fei who spoke. The two policemen, unable to ascertain his background, dared not reprimand him.

"Sir, the county magistrate and our bureau chief aren't just indulging in food and drink; they're discussing important matters."

"Oh, in that case, I must listen to what important matters they are discussing."

After Long Fei finished speaking, seeing that two policemen were still blocking his way, his face immediately darkened, and he shouted.

"Your Director Huang has quite the airs of a high-ranking official. He even has his subordinates standing guard while he's eating. Get out of my way!"

The two policemen shuddered, fearing that the chief would blame them later, so they stubbornly refused to move aside.

At this moment, Xie Qiang raised an eyebrow and said angrily, "Are you all deaf? Get out of the way right now, or I won't be polite."

Several team members immediately stepped forward with their guns drawn, forcing the two policemen to retreat repeatedly.

The waiters at Juxianlou noticed something was wrong and hurriedly reported it to the manager, who then rushed to the restaurant entrance.

At this moment, Long Fei and Xie Qiang led their men in.

The shopkeeper hurriedly nodded and bowed, smiling apologetically.

"Sir, the shop has been booked out for the whole day, you..."

Long Fei, of course, wouldn't make things difficult for the shopkeeper and his staff, and asked in a low voice.

"Which room are County Chief Yan and Director Huang in?"

Seeing that Long Fei was kind and gentle to him and seemed upright, the shopkeeper thought for a moment and said...

"Sir, County Magistrate Yan, Director Huang, and some other prominent figures from the county are in the Fu-character private room on the second floor."

"Thank you, shopkeeper. Don't be afraid. We're not here to cause trouble; we're just here to eat."

After thanking him with a smile, Long Fei left a comment and then strode up to the second floor.

Upon arriving at the door of the "Fu" private room, Long Fei heard voices coming from inside. Instead of immediately pushing the door open and going in, he stood outside and listened.

"County Magistrate Yan, I heard that the Japanese will be attacking in a few days. What should we do?"

"County Magistrate Yan, all our assets are in Chuxian County. Give us a straight answer: can the National Government hold Chuxian County?"

“Mr. Gong, you are the richest man in Chuxian County. Whatever you plan to do, we will do too.”
