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

Jiang Yunqing said with a tragic expression, "To be honest, I don't know. Anyway, my 194th Regiment will fight to the end. As long as one person is alive, we will never let the Japanese pass."

Long Fei admired his opponent's courage to fight to the bitter end and face death without fear.

However, they scoffed at the Nationalist army's consistent tactics.

"Commander Jiang, when your National Revolutionary Army clashes with the Japanese, are you so rigid, only knowing how to defend and fight to the death?"

"Commander Dragon Legion, what do you mean by that?"

"Isn't my meaning clear enough? Given that the National Revolutionary Army is inferior to the Japanese in terms of weaponry and individual combat capabilities, shouldn't it choose flexible and mobile tactics to deal with the Japanese?"

Jiang Yunqing admitted that what Long Fei said was absolutely correct, but he was just a regimental commander, and his words carried little weight; he could only obey orders.

“Commander Long, I admit you’re right, but as a soldier, I’m ordered by my superiors to hold the line, and I can only obey orders.”

"I'd like to ask, is Commander Long here to help us fight the Japanese devils?"

"Yes, that's right." Long Fei nodded in agreement.

"Then how many troops have you brought with you? Let's discuss how to fight?"

Long Fei answered softly, "Including me, there are only twelve people."

"What... twelve people... Commander Dragon Legion, are you kidding me?"

Long Fei lit a cigarette and said with a smile, "I'm not that bored to come here and joke with you. Anyway, the twelve of us sank three Japanese destroyers and killed several hundred Japanese soldiers in the East China Sea yesterday."

"What……"

Shocked, utterly shocked.

Jiang Yunqing stared at Long Fei as if he were a monster, completely unable to believe it.

Long Fei was already used to this kind of expression. He smiled calmly and continued speaking.

"Before we came, we conducted reconnaissance and confirmed that the Japanese only had one battalion of soldiers, so I was absolutely confident that I could annihilate them."

"However, we need the cooperation of Commander Jiang's troops."

Jiang Yunqing immediately nodded and said, "That's right, the one attacking my 194th Regiment's defense line was the 1st Battalion of the 101st Regiment of the Japanese army."

"Just tell me how you want me to cooperate, Dragon Legion Commander."

"Okay, how many people are in your 194th Regiment?"

Jiang Yunqing immediately answered truthfully: "I have three battalions under me, each with five hundred men. In addition, there are the regimental headquarters and directly subordinate units such as the artillery platoon, guard platoon, reconnaissance platoon, communications platoon, and ambulance platoon. The total strength is more than 1,800 men."

"I reckon Commander Jiang probably only sent one battalion to intercept the Japanese, right?"

"How did you know?" Jiang Yunqing asked in surprise.

Long Fei slowly said, "It's very simple. Because the Japanese have limited troops, they can only choose one side as the direction of attack."

"Your hasty response and the fortifications you built are very rudimentary, so I judge that Commander Jiang, you cannot put all your troops on the front lines and let them suffer the Japanese artillery bombardment for nothing."

Long Fei's judgment was completely correct, leaving Jiang Yunqing no choice but to nod in agreement.

“That’s right, that’s what I think. I have three battalions. If each battalion can hold out for one day, we can hold out for three days and complete the task assigned by our superiors.”

"I hope Commander Jiang can immediately gather the remaining two battalions and the artillery platoon. I will provide them with twenty mortars, two hundred machine guns, and six hundred submachine guns."

"My men will quickly teach them how to use the new weapons, and then the two battalions will split into two teams, outflank the Japanese on the left and right, and launch a surprise attack."

"What? Commander Dragon Legion, did I hear that right...?"

Seeing Long Fei nod at him, Jiang Yunqing finally chose to believe him.

"Haha, Commander Long, this is not only a timely help, but also a rescue for my 194th Regiment from a crisis."

"With this batch of weapons, if I don't beat the Japanese devils to a pulp, I'm not a Jiang."

The joy lasted only three seconds. When Jiang Yunqing suddenly remembered the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles, her smile vanished instantly.

"Commander Long, there's a problem. Machine guns and submachine guns can't deal with the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles."

"Commander Jiang, don't worry about that. My men will handle the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles."

Although the Longfei system warehouse is full of self-propelled artillery, howitzers, and rocket launchers, these could wipe out this Japanese battalion in no time.

But right now, including him, there are only twelve people. The Nationalist soldiers of the 194th Regiment have never even seen these weapons and equipment before, let alone operated them.

Therefore, even if Long Fei is brought out, he will just be a bunch of decorations.

It would be better to have ten team members operate two Tiger tanks to wipe out the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.

Jiang Yunqing hurriedly gathered the troops.

On the other side, Long Fei led his team to the outside of the regimental command post.

In a secluded spot, they moved out twenty mortars, two hundred MG42 machine guns, and six hundred Thompson submachine guns, along with the corresponding shells and bullets, piling them up into a small mountain.

Next, Long Fei deployed five walkie-talkies and two Tiger tanks, and had ten team members immediately enter the tanks to inspect them and prepare for combat.

Before long, Jiang Yunqing led his second and third battalions over in a line.

Long Fei announced loudly, "Brothers, the artillery platoon will come up first to collect the mortars and shells. In addition, we need 400 men for the 200 machine guns: 200 machine gunners, 200 ammunition handlers, and the remaining 600 brothers will each receive a submachine gun."

"I'll give each of your machine guns two thousand rounds of ammunition, each submachine gun three hundred rounds of ammunition, and each mortar two hundred rounds of shells."

"Don't hold back your bullets and shells, everyone. We'll beat the Japanese to a pulp and show them what a real surprise is."

Long Fei's few simple words immediately stirred the blood of the Nationalist soldiers.

"Sir, don't worry, we guarantee we'll beat the Japanese to a pulp."

"Sir, with these weapons, if I don't kill ten of those Japanese devils, I'm a Japanese devil's son."

"..."

After everyone quickly received their weapons, the ten team members, along with Xie Qiang and Long Fei, immediately taught them how to use them as quickly as possible.

Then, Long Fei and Jiang Yunqing exchanged a glance and nodded to each other.

Since it was Jiang Yunqing's troops after all, Long Fei couldn't overstep his bounds, so Jiang Yunqing began to issue orders.

"Brothers, the First Battalion is putting up a fierce resistance against the Japanese. I order the artillery platoon to immediately move to the rear of the First Battalion's position and establish an artillery position."

"The Second Battalion will attack from the left, and the Third Battalion from the right, to outflank the Japanese. Once Commander Long's tanks have charged out and taken out the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles, the artillery platoon will immediately aim at the Japanese and fire."

"After the artillery platoon finished its shelling, the second and third battalions immediately launched an attack on the Japanese, and the first battalion also launched a counter-attack."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

After the Nationalist troops left, Long Fei pulled Jiang Yunqing along to the front line to take command.

Five walkie-talkies, one for each of the three battalions, and one Tiger tank for each battalion.

As for the two that were transferred out during the reconnaissance, one was given to the artillery platoon, and Xie Qiang carried the other one with Long Fei and Jiang Yunqing so that orders could be issued at any time.
