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

Xie Qiang and Sun Haitao quickly discussed the matter and decided that Sun Haitao would lead the reserve team to eliminate the 11th Artillery Regiment of the Japanese Army outside the villa.

Xie Qiang, on the other hand, led the First Special Operations Division to take care of the 43rd Regiment in the mountain villa.

Both parties agreed that unless an emergency occurs, they would take action together at 11:00 AM sharp.

After Sun Haitao left with the reserve team, Xie Qiang ordered his three regiments to immediately disperse within the villa. The first regiment was responsible for eliminating the Japanese soldiers in Longteng Cave, while the second and third regiments were responsible for the Japanese soldiers within the villa.

Xie Qiang instructed the three regimental commanders to check their watches, and the three regiments would start working together at 11:00 AM sharp.

At this moment, the Japanese soldiers were all in their barracks, and most of them were fast asleep because they were bored.

A few Japanese soldiers lay in bed, chatting quietly among themselves.

The soldiers of the Second and Third Regiments quickly arrived at the entrances of the Japanese barracks, each holding a grenade, patiently waiting for the time to act.

A group of soldiers quietly arrived at the entrance of Longteng Cave and silently eliminated the Japanese sentries outside.

Then a group quickly entered the Dragon Soaring Cave and began to cautiously advance deeper into the cave.

At this point, Takeshita Kazuo was already six or seven parts drunk. He put his feet on the table and leaned his body against the cave wall.

Under the influence of alcohol, he suddenly missed his family back home, especially his wife and daughter.

Takeshi Kazuo gently closed his eyes and softly hummed a song from his hometown.

Although the Dragon Cave is a huge space, Takeo only arranged for radio communications personnel and a small squad of guards to be stationed inside.

Meanwhile, because the Third Division had already entered the mountains to encircle and suppress them, Takeo Kazuo also withdrew the battalion that had been stationed in the front and was serving as a guard to the mountain villa.

At this time, apart from the two communications soldiers on duty, everyone else in Longteng Cave was resting in the wooden hut that Chen Huating and his men had built before.

After eliminating the two Japanese communications soldiers on duty, the soldiers of the regiment immediately surrounded all the wooden houses.

Meanwhile, Wang Youzhi, the regimental commander, quietly approached Zhu Xia Yan with two soldiers.

Unaware of what was happening, Takeshi Kazuo continued to hum with his eyes closed.

Wang Youzhi, holding a paratrooper knife, leaped forward, covered the mouth of the man under the bamboo with one hand, and with the other hand, with a "plop," plunged the paratrooper knife into his left chest.

Takeshita felt a sharp pain in his chest, but he was too weak to resist, and let out a final struggle before he died.

Soon, Takeshita Kazuo's legs went limp, his arms hung limply, and he died.

Sun Haitao led the reserve team and quietly arrived at the barracks of the 11th Artillery Regiment of Guizishan.

First, they took out their sentries, and then everyone dispersed and surrounded the Japanese tents.

At 11 o'clock sharp, both sides took action simultaneously.

Each Japanese soldier's room and tent was pelted with at least a dozen grenades.

After the grenades exploded, the soldiers rushed in with their guns and began to eliminate the Japanese soldiers who had not been killed by the explosion.

In less than five minutes, the Japanese 43rd Regiment and the 11th Mountain Artillery Regiment were wiped out completely, leaving no survivors.

After Xie Qiang and Sun Haitao reported to Long Fei via walkie-talkie that the operation had gone smoothly and that all the Japanese soldiers stationed at Longteng Villa had been wiped out.

Long Fei ordered everyone to enter Longteng Manor immediately.

Upon meeting Xie Qiang and Sun Haitao, Long Fei praised them in person.

"It seems that the training was quite effective. In this combat assessment, the 1st Special Operations Division and the reserve team annihilated an entire Japanese infantry regiment and a mountain artillery regiment with zero casualties."

"You have all passed this assessment, and your Special Operations Division and reserve team will be awarded a collective third-class merit."

"Everyone, rest at the resort tonight, and we'll head north early tomorrow morning."

While everyone was fast asleep, Long Fei quietly stored all the spoils into the system.

They also mobilized all the GMI trucks, Willys Jeeps, and Greyhound armored vehicles.

The next day, Long Fei planned to transform the Longyan Legion into a truly mechanized force, marching in vehicles.

In addition, Longfei also specially deployed ten BM-13 rocket launcher vehicles.

After all, there were still nearly three thousand rockets left. Although Long Fei did not intend to capture Chuxian, he planned to take a detour.

But that didn't stop Long Fei from using rockets to give the Japanese soldiers in the county town a good thrashing when he passed by.

The next morning, after everyone had breakfast, they saw an endless line of vehicles outside the resort, and they all felt like they were dreaming.

"Commander, why are there so many more vehicles overnight?"

Faced with everyone's questions, Long Fei calmly answered.

"As I said before, our Dragon Flame Army has a powerful logistics support force."

"They delivered these in the early hours of the morning."

"Oh……"

Clearly, people were still somewhat skeptical.

Long Fei ignored him and continued, "Now I will announce the marching order. The First Special Operations Division will send a company, driving Willys Jeeps equipped with M2 heavy machine guns and Greyhound armored vehicles, to scout ahead and clear the way."

"Next up is the 1st Special Operations Division, followed by the 1st through 6th Armies in that order. The Corps Headquarters and its directly subordinate units will follow the 6th Army, while the reserves will be responsible for bringing up the rear."

"Remember, stop when you get around Chuxian County and use these ten rocket launcher vehicles to give the Japanese a salvo."

When the procession started to set off, it was an absolutely spectacular sight.

Thousands of vehicles of various kinds stretched for nearly ten kilometers, heading north in a grand procession.

More than an hour later, the lead convoy reported via walkie-talkie that they had arrived at the west side of Chuzhou County.

"Order the rocket artillery vehicles to aim at Chuxian County and fire a salvo."

A few minutes later, 160 rockets were launched rapidly toward Chuxian County.

Previously, a Japanese regiment was stationed in Chuxian County, but the Japanese forces were short of manpower and were constantly advancing northward.

Therefore, after the garrison in Chuzhou County was transferred out, only a company of Japanese soldiers and a battalion of puppet troops remained.

Because the people of Chuxian had already evacuated before the Japanese occupation, Chuxian is now very deserted.

The Japanese company commander was giving a speech at the puppet army's garrison when he unexpectedly heard the whistling sound of a large number of artillery shells flying in.

The Japanese company commander reacted extremely quickly. He didn't care about the lives of these puppet soldiers at all, and took two of his men and ran away.

One hundred and sixty rockets covered and bombed most of the county seat of Chuxian in the blink of an eye.

It would have been better if the Japanese company commander hadn't run away, because only one rocket landed in the puppet army's camp.

Moreover, the bullet impact point was between the two houses in front and behind. Although the houses collapsed and the flying debris caused more than 20 casualties among the puppet troops, most of the puppet troops were unharmed.

But the Japanese company commander wasn't so lucky. He and two of his men had just reached the gate of the puppet army's camp when...

Before they could find cover or lie down, a rocket landed just one or two meters away from them.

With a loud "boom," the three Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces and disappeared without a trace.

The shelling was very brief, but those 160 rockets inflicted heavy casualties on the Japanese.

One company of Japanese soldiers was killed or wounded, with 120 to 130 killed and 70 to 80 wounded, suffering more than half casualties.
