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

After announcing the order, Long Fei told everyone to prepare, but he kept Xu Peng behind to give him some instructions.

"Xu Peng, the Seya Detachment that you are dealing with has already captured Zou County. Currently, the 124th, 125th, and 127th Divisions of the 22nd Army Group of the Sichuan Army are fighting hard to block them along the Liangxiadian line, while the 122nd Division has also entered Teng County to deploy its defenses."

"As we all know, the 122nd Division, under the leadership of Division Commander Wang Mingzhang, held Tengxian for three days."

"In the end, apart from two or three hundred people who broke through the encirclement, the remaining three thousand or so people all sacrificed their lives heroically. Commander Wang was also hit by seven bullets and died a heroic death."

Xu Peng asked, "Commander, everyone knows about the 122nd Division's bloody battle at Tengxian. Do you mean you want me to rescue the 122nd Division?"

Long Fei nodded in affirmation, "That's right. Back then, the 122nd Division was left to defend the isolated city alone because there were no reinforcements, which led to such a tragic end."

"Now that we're here, we absolutely cannot let this tragedy happen. I have another piece of news for you."

"There was an intelligence agent named Xia Wenyun who infiltrated the Japanese army. He sent an eight-character secret telegram to Commander Li of the Fifth War Zone: 'The Japanese are moving in the south but not in the north.'"

Upon hearing this, Xu Peng immediately realized, "Does this mean that the Japanese can only draw troops from the south, but cannot send reinforcements from the north?"

Long Fei chuckled and nodded, praising, "Smart, that's exactly what I mean. In other words, you can go ahead and beat up the Japanese Setani Detachment without worry. Apart from the 10th Division, the Japanese have no reinforcements."

"We'll first cut off the two steel knives of the Japanese soldiers, then make the Nationalist troops pretend to be defeated and retreat step by step, then lure the two Japanese divisions to the Taierzhuang area, and finally use rocket artillery to make a big mess of them."

After laughing, Xu Peng suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked with concern.

"Commander, the Seya Detachment only has 15,000 men, while the Sakamoto Detachment, including the puppet troops, has more than 20,000."

"Why don't you take the Fourth Army with you? My reserve force plus the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Armies will be enough."

Long Fei shook his head and said contemptuously, "Are the puppet troops even human? They're just a bunch of wicked bandits. Liu Guitang is nothing but a traitorous lackey."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that the puppet army has more than 10,000 men. If a real battle breaks out, a single regiment could wipe them out, not to mention I have so many artillery pieces."

After the troops split into two groups and set off, Long Fei told the reserve team members left behind by Xu Peng to wait in place.

Then Long Fei and Xu Peng went to a distance and retrieved fifteen Tiger tanks, twenty-five Greyhound armored vehicles, twelve Wild Bee self-propelled guns, two Wild Bee ammunition transport vehicles, sixteen M2A1 howitzers, and ten BM-13 rocket launcher vehicles from the system.

As for the BM-21 rocket launcher, Long Fei planned to save it for when they were annihilating the Japanese Fifth and Tenth Divisions.

After the reserve team left with these weapons and equipment, Long Fei sighed softly to himself.

"Unfortunately, the system can only be used by me, so Xu Peng had to drive the equipment over."

As it turned out, Xiaobaibai overheard Longfei's words and immediately responded.

"Little Dragon, because your current level is too low, you cannot set up a subsystem. Keep working hard. Once you reach the Gold level, you can set up one subsystem for others to use. Once you reach Platinum, you can set up two subsystems."

"Diamond level has five subsystems, King level has eight subsystems, and Supreme level has ten subsystems."

Long Fei exclaimed, "Wow, that's amazing! Why didn't you say so sooner? This concept is great, but could you please stop calling me Little Dragon?"

"Tch, can't I even make a joke? The War God System has already considered these issues. As the host's strength continues to expand, there will definitely be more than one battlefield in the future. With the subsystem, you won't have to be in two places at once."

"Alright, since you've given me such good news, I won't hold it against you for calling me Little Dragon, but this is a one-time exception."

"Tch, stingy. Let's get going. The Japanese Sakamoto Detachment is almost at Mukai City. What are you dawdling about?"

Xiao Baibai's words greatly surprised Long Fei: "Xiao Baibai, how did you know?"

"Of course I know, our War God System has its own intelligence system."

"You should have all the information that Sixth Brother gave me, right?"

"Xiao Liu's information is nothing special, of course I know it."

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

Seeing that Long Fei's tone was off, Xiao Baibai immediately replied seriously.

"I saw that you already have the information, so it would be redundant for me to say anything more. How about this, I'll just tell you before Xiao Liuzi next time."

“You called Xiao Liuzi again, and called him Sixth Brother.”

"Alright, alright, I'm scared of you, okay? Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother... Brother Long, Brother Long, Brother Long... Are you satisfied now?"

Long Fei didn't have time to chat with Xiao Baibai right now; he had to lead his troops to Xiangcheng as soon as possible.

Longfei's original plan was to annihilate the Sakamoto Detachment in the Xiangcheng area.

However, before setting off, Long Fei instructed Liu Wei and Gao Hong to take the guard platoon and radio to Xuzhou.

Since the Fifth War Zone Command was located in Xuzhou, Long Fei asked them to find a way to meet Commander Li.

Then he told him about Long Fei's strategic plan and hoped to get the other party's full support.

The National Revolutionary Army's 20th Army Corps was responsible for defending the city's front line.

At this time, the 20th Army Corps was in retreat against the fierce artillery fire and attacks of the Sakamoto Detachment.

Commander Tang of the 20th Army Corps, in particular, was passive and avoided battle, fearing a direct confrontation with the Japanese.

His idea was to preserve the core troops of the Nationalist government, while letting the Guangxi clique and other miscellaneous troops be the cannon fodder.

Long Fei was aware of these circumstances, so when he led his troops to Xiangcheng, he did not make contact with the 20th Legion.

Instead, they took a detour and arrived at the rear of the Japanese Sakamoto Detachment and Liu Guitang's troops around 11 p.m.

Long Fei was currently positioned between the vanguard Sakamoto Detachment and the main force of the 5th Division.

This position was extremely dangerous, because if the Sakamoto Detachment could not be eliminated in a short time, they would likely be surrounded by the pursuing Japanese 5th Division.

However, as the saying goes, skill breeds daring, and Long Fei had absolute confidence that he could wipe out Sakamoto's detachment and Liu Guitang's puppet troops within two hours.

Long Fei deployed all his self-propelled artillery, howitzers, and rocket launchers from an excellent position.

Meanwhile, several reconnaissance teams he dispatched have already set off.

Long Fei ordered them to quietly approach the Japanese troops and transmit back accurate coordinates so that they could launch a precise artillery attack.

At 1:30 a.m., the reconnaissance team transmitted back the coordinates of the Japanese Sakamoto Detachment and Liu Guitang's troops.

After a day of fierce fighting, the Sakamoto Detachment and Liu Guitang's puppet troops advanced smoothly with few casualties, but they were exhausted.

At this moment, everyone except the sentries is fast asleep.

At this moment, Long Fei issued the combat order: the First Regiment of the First Special Operations Division was responsible for operating all artillery, tanks, and armored vehicles.

The First Army attacked the Japanese right flank, and the Second Army attacked the Japanese left flank, to encircle them.

After the artillery barrage ended, the 2nd and 3rd Regiments of the 3rd Army and the 1st Special Operations Division launched an attack on the Japanese and puppet troops from the rear under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles.
