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

When the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles entered within two kilometers of the Tiger tank's main gun.

After each of the twenty Tiger tanks took aim, they opened fire almost simultaneously.

"Boom boom boom..."

In the first volley of fire, twelve Japanese tanks and eight armored vehicles were destroyed, with three tanks exploding.

To enhance the 13th Division's offensive capabilities, the Japanese specifically reinforced it with an artillery company and a tank company.

Therefore, the 13th Division had 16 tanks and 12 armored vehicles.

A single volley of fire from a Tiger tank wiped out more than half of the enemy's armored forces.

The remaining four tanks and four armored vehicles were quickly destroyed by the second volley of fire from the Tiger tanks.

In less than a minute, the reinforced armored forces of the Japanese 13th Division were completely annihilated.

The special forces soldiers inside the Tiger tank realized that they hadn't had enough fun yet, and the Japanese were already defeated.

Unwilling to give up, they fired several more rounds of armor-piercing and high-explosive shells.

The reason was that they wanted to ensure that none of the Japanese soldiers inside the tanks and armored vehicles survived.

"These spendthrift boys are too wasteful."

Although Long Fei expressed his dissatisfaction, everyone could see that his face was full of tolerance and favoritism towards his subordinates.

After the Tiger tanks finished shelling, Xu Peng ordered them to be inspected one by one to ensure no one escaped.

Sure enough, upon inspection, they discovered three Japanese soldiers who had miraculously survived inside the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.

Seeing the special forces soldiers drag out the three Japanese soldiers, Long Fei drew his gun and strode forward.

Upon arriving in front of the three Japanese soldiers, Long Fei shouted loudly in Japanese.

"Kneel down before me, all of you."

Seeing Long Fei's fierce and menacing appearance, the three-headed Japanese soldier trembled with fear and hurriedly knelt down on the ground with a "thump, thump".

Long Fei then raised his gun and fired three shots, each hitting the Japanese soldier in the forehead.

The three Japanese soldiers, after being shot, fell to the ground and became corpses before they could even utter a sound.

Xu Peng followed behind and couldn't help but sigh, "Commander, was it really necessary for you to do it yourself?"

Long Fei put away his gun and ordered his men, "Hang all the Japanese corpses on the tank gun barrels so the Japanese from the 13th Division can have a look tomorrow."

After saying that, Long Fei turned to Xu Peng and explained.

"Now that the number of troops is increasing, I have gone from battalion commander to regimental commander, and now I have become corps commander."

"I'll definitely not have many opportunities to personally kill Japanese devils in the future, so you won't allow me to seize this rare opportunity and kill a few Japanese devils to vent my anger."

Xu Peng couldn't refute Long Fei's words at all. Besides, who doesn't hate the Japanese and want to kill those beasts with their own hands?

"Ahem, I just think that now that you are the commander of our Dragon Flame Legion, you shouldn't let the blood of these beasts dirty your hands."

"Tch, are you trying to flatter me? You're the deputy commander of the Dragon Flame Legion, and besides, I don't think the blood of the Japanese would dirty my hands."

"On the contrary, I believe that the more Japanese we kill, the longer we will live."

Xu Peng frowned and asked doubtfully, "Hiss... Legion Commander, please explain what you're saying. I don't understand."

Long Fei smiled and patiently said, "You should know the inventor of the Heavenly Furnace Battle Strategy, right? The Jungle Fox, the Eastern Rommel, you should also know him."

Without a second thought, Xu Peng blurted out, "Of course I know. The inventor of the Heavenly Furnace Strategy was General Xue of the National Army, the Fox of the Jungle. The 'Eastern Rommel' refers to General Sun."

Long Fei nodded: "Correct answer. General Xue was the general in the National Army who annihilated the most Japanese soldiers, totaling as many as 200,000. Therefore, he lived a long and healthy life, reaching the age of 103."

"General Sun buried alive the Japanese soldiers who had participated in the Nanjing Massacre in the Emerald Kingdom. If he hadn't been placed under house arrest by the Nationalist government later, he would definitely have lived to be more than 90 years old."

Xu Peng suddenly realized and said, "Commander, I think I understand what you mean. Killing the Japanese is bringing us good fortune and longevity."

Long Fei laughed, looking up: "Haha, it's good that you understand. I also want to live to be a hundred years old, because I want to do something earth-shattering."

After finishing his sentence, Long Fei strode away, telling everyone to return that very night to rejoin the First Army.

Xu Peng stood there blankly, his mind still processing Long Fei's words.

"A monumental achievement... What exactly does the legion commander mean by this? It seems I'll have to have a good talk with him sometime."

It was only 3 a.m. when they arrived at the First Army's blocking position. Long Fei told everyone to get some rest and said that the Japanese 13th Division would not arrive until at least noon.

Seeing that the shelling had ended, Di Zhouli's troops dared to leave the fortifications, and then ordered the troops to regroup and take stock of the casualties.

Not long after, before Di Zhoulibing could even roar in anger after receiving the casualty report, another piece of news arrived that made him want to vomit blood.

"Reporting to the division commander, our division's armored units..."

Di Zhoulibing's hands were already trembling as he held the casualty report, and now the officer who came to report was stammering, which made him so angry that he started cursing.

"Baka! As an Imperial soldier, stop stammering! What's the situation with the armored forces? Speak..."

The Japanese officer finally mustered his courage: "Division Commander, the division's armored units were completely destroyed by the enemy five kilometers away."

"The soldiers and officers of the armored forces were all killed, and the Chinese army hung their bodies on the tank gun barrels."

"Nani... Damn it... Baka... Damn Chinese... I will make you pay the price."

Di Zhouli's troops were truly enraged. According to the casualty report, although the shelling in the early morning only lasted for a few minutes, the 13th Division had more than 2,000 dead and more than 1,000 wounded.

Now, having received news of the complete annihilation of the armored forces, Di Zhoulibing was filled with thoughts of revenge.

Chief of Staff Ichikawa Yu then suggested, "Division Commander, should we consider returning to Nanjing for a short rest before continuing north?"

Given the current situation, Ichikawa Yoshiyuki's suggestion is quite practical.

After all, with heavy casualties and no armored units to provide cover and support, it would be unwise to rush forward rashly.

Di Zhoulibing understood the reasoning behind it, but he was worried that if he returned empty-handed, he would be disappointed.

They would certainly be ridiculed by other divisions and criticized by their superiors.

After much deliberation, Di Zhouli made up his mind and decided to continue northward.

He believed that only by achieving subsequent victories could he make amends for his mistakes and wash away today's shame.

"Order: Leave three field hospitals to treat the wounded; all other units shall depart in one hour and continue northward."

Yi Zhichuan wanted to offer some more advice, but Di Zhouli raised his hand to stop him.

"Yizhijun, stop talking. Our 13th Division has suffered such a humiliating disgrace today, and we must wash it away with the blood of the Chinese."

"I believe in the warriors of the Empire. They will not lose their fighting spirit because of this, and they will not let us and His Majesty the Emperor down."

Since Di Zhouli had already put it this way, Yi Zhichuan Yong couldn't dissuade him any further and could only nod in agreement.
