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

There were 36 soldiers in a row, fighting against 70 or 80 Japanese soldiers. Each soldier had to deal with at least two, and some had to deal with three.

Apart from the officers and soldiers of the 37th Brigade, everyone watching the battle seemed confident and assured.

The officers and soldiers of the 37th Brigade were on tenterhooks.

They had fought the Japanese with bayonets before. The Japanese were highly skilled in bayonet fighting, and their physical abilities were far superior to those of the emaciated soldiers of the 37th Brigade.

Therefore, in close combat, the officers and soldiers of the 37th Brigade were completely at a disadvantage.

Let alone two against one, it would be difficult to beat them even in a one-on-one situation.

But the next performance of the soldiers in the row completely dazzled the officers and soldiers of the 37th Brigade.

The Japanese soldiers viciously raised their Type 38 rifles and stabbed them fiercely at a row of soldiers standing opposite them.

But these highly trained and agile special forces soldiers are no pushovers.

Holding paratrooper knives, they would quickly sidestep, retreat rapidly, leap into a flying kick, or grab the Japanese soldiers' rifles and pull them forward...

Immediately following this was a fatal counterattack against the Japanese soldiers, whether it was slitting their throats, stabbing them in the back, or stabbing them in the chest.

After a dazzling display of skill by a row of soldiers, in just one round of combat, thirty-six Japanese soldiers fell dead.

On the other hand, the row of soldiers not only suffered no casualties, but also looked relaxed.

"What...that's amazing..."

The soldiers of the 37th Brigade were completely shocked by what they saw. They stared in disbelief, speechless.

Xie Qiang's face turned fierce as he waved to the remaining Japanese soldiers and shouted in Japanese.

"You bunch of scum, are you scared out of your wits? Keep going..."

Masanori Tanikawa truly hadn't expected that his soldiers, despite having twice the number of opponents, would be completely helpless in a bayonet fight.

However, he knew that there was no way to escape today, so he gave the order again.

"Soldiers of the Empire, summon your courage and continue the fight."

The remaining Japanese soldiers looked at each other and encouraged one another.

Then, shouting loudly, he raised his bayonet and launched another attack.

Unfortunately, in the face of absolute power, neither Bushido nor loyalty to the death could withstand it.

In the second round, a platoon of soldiers wiped out the remaining Japanese soldiers with zero casualties.

The final showdown ended with a complete victory for one side.

At this moment, Tanikawa Masanori's eyes were bloodshot, and he raised his battle sword, pointing it at Xie Qiang.

"I challenge you to a duel, do you dare?"

Xie Qiang chuckled: "Alright, since you've made such a foolish request, I don't mind ending your wicked dog life."

Xie Qiang walked forward empty-handed, which startled the officers and soldiers of the 37th Brigade.

Some kind-hearted people couldn't help but offer a reminder.

"Sir, grab a knife. Be careful not to get hurt if you're unarmed."

Xie Qiang waved his hand confidently: "Brother, thank you for your concern, but I can kill this Japanese officer even with my bare fists."

After standing face to face with Xie Qiang, Tanikawa Masanori bowed to him.

"Sir, I am Tanikawa Masanori, the commander of the 17th Regiment of the 11th Brigade of the 6th Division of the Great Japan. Nice to meet you."

"Pah..." Xie Qiang spat a mouthful of phlegm onto the ground.

"You Japanese are so hypocritical. You want to kill me, but you still pretend to be polite and ask me for advice."

"However, since you have made this request, I will grant it. I am Xie Qiang, the company commander of the first company of the first battalion of the Dragon Flame Army of China."

"My advice to you is this: in your next life, don't be an animal, be a good human being. Also, stop coveting every blade of grass and every tree of my China, because you are not worthy."

Faced with Xie Qiang's insults, Tanikawa Masanori did not refute them, but sneered, gritted his teeth, and raised his knife to attack.

Xie Qiang stood proudly like a javelin, looking at Tanikawa Masanori with cold disdain.

"what……"

Tanikawa Masanori shouted and swung his knife at Xie Qiang.

Xie Qiang quickly dodged left and right, easily avoiding the opponent's deadly blade.

After failing to injure Xie Qiang even slightly with more than a dozen consecutive stabs, Tanikawa Masanori began to grow impatient.

His eyes gleamed with ferocity as he unleashed an even more ferocious swordsmanship.

Even so, Xie Qiang easily resolved the situation.

Moreover, Xie Qiang seized upon a small opening in Tanikawa Masanori's defenses and struck him in the right ribs with a punch.

"Ouch……"

Xie Qiang's punch broke two of Tanikawa Masanori's ribs, causing him to scream in pain.

"Yes...yes...sir, kill him...kill him..."

The initial worries of the officers and soldiers of the 37th Brigade gradually turned into cheers as Xie Qiang performed heroically.

Masanori Tanikawa, writhing in excruciating pain, had by this point weakened considerably in his attacks.

Seeing that the performance was about to end, Xie Qiang kicked Tanikawa Masanori in the stomach.

Xie Qiang's kick was extremely powerful, sending Tanikawa Masanori flying five meters away, causing him to drop his sword, kneel on the ground, clutching his abdomen and howling in pain.

"Little devils, it's time to end this. Remember to be a good person in your next life."

With a graceful flick of his toe, Xie Qiang sent Tanikawa Masanori's sword flying into the air, which he then caught.

Then he strode forward, swung his knife and stabbed it into Tanikawa Masanori's abdomen, followed by a forceful horizontal slash.

"Alright, I'll disembowel you and make you serve your damned Emperor."

Masanori Tanikawa never understood why he was forced to commit seppuku even in death. He didn't want to commit seppuku, but in the end, he was still forced to do so by the enemy. Was this what they called fate, or was it his destiny?

Long Fei, Chen Defa, and Ge Dahai had already arrived here.

After witnessing all of this firsthand, Chen Defa remarked to Long Fei with emotion.

"Commander Long, your men are not only extremely strong in combat, but also incredibly brave and fierce. If every soldier in China were like them, what would we have to fear from the Japanese pirates?"

Ge Dahai's focus was different; what he lamented was...

"Commander Long, these brothers are so skilled at killing the enemy that even I, who have been practicing martial arts since childhood, am ashamed of my own abilities."

Long Fei solemnly replied, "Brigadier General Chen, I believe that one day, the army of our Chinese nation will be invincible in the world."

Chen De was filled with excitement and his blood was boiling.

"You said that with such spirit. Yes, I believe that day will definitely come."

Long Fei nodded and then spoke to Ge Dahai.

"Commander Ge, don't envy them. With your foundation and physique, as long as I train you for a month, I guarantee you will be no weaker than them."

"Really? Then I..."

Suddenly, Ge Dahai realized he couldn't say what he was about to say in front of the brigade commander, so he swallowed his words back.

Long Fei walked up to Xie Qiang, took the battle sword from Tanikawa Masanori, and said with a playful expression.

"Xie Qiang, you've had your fill of the limelight today, haven't you?"

"Hehe, Battalion Commander, I..."

Xie Qiang dared not be arrogant in front of Long Fei, and gave an awkward smile.

At this moment, two soldiers carried Okamoto Yasuyuki up.

"Reporting to the battalion commander, what should we do with this colonel?"

"Those who offend China shall die!" Long Fei said coldly.

Okamoto Yasuyuki's mind had cleared up by now, and he was startled when he heard Long Fei's words.
