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

Seeing the ruthlessness in Long Fei's words, Xie Qiang asked urgently.

"Commander, you mean..."

Long Fei thought for a moment: "The car has already driven away, which means that bastard Shiro Ishii probably won't leave tonight."

Xie Qiang immediately understood Long Fei's meaning: "Commander, do you want to detonate it prematurely and bury Ishii Shiro and his bacteriological research base together?"

Long Fei nodded and then entered the tunnel.

Long Fei quickly located the eight people and gathered them together for an emergency consultation.

"I'll be frank, the Japanese germ warfare demon Shiro Ishii has just entered the Central Hospital and shouldn't be leaving tonight."

"Can the tunnel be completed before dawn?"

After exchanging glances, the eight people shook their heads at Long Fei.

"Commander, there's not enough time. Even if we speed up the process and dig desperately, we'll still be at least fifty or sixty meters short before dawn."

Upon hearing this, Long Fei immediately asked them to draw a rough sketch on the ground, marking the locations of any missing tunnels.

Afterwards, Long Fei studied it carefully and suddenly had an idea.

"Look, there's a lawn above this section of the tunnel, with flowers, grass, and trees planted on it."

"Dig straight up, then people crawl up to place the explosives."

The eight men nodded in agreement: "This method is feasible. The tunnel is only twelve or thirteen meters below the ground, and it can be dug in less than two hours."

Upon hearing this, Long Fei immediately said, "Send a team over and start digging right away."

After giving the order, Long Fei went to the side and began to wait anxiously.

At this moment, Xie Qiang approached and said, "Commander, after we break through, I'll lead some men up to plant the explosives."

Long Fei knew that Xie Qiang meant well and was afraid that he would personally take risks.

"Okay, be careful and don't expose yourself."

"Don't worry, I'm very clever."

At this point, Xie Qiang suddenly remembered something.

"Commander, there's something I'd like to ask you?"

"What is it? Tell me..."

"There must be compatriots captured and used for experiments in the Japanese germ warfare research base. If we blow up the base, they..."

Long Fei had been thinking about this matter from the very beginning, but what tormented him was that he couldn't come up with a way to save them.

This is Nanjing, which is under Japanese occupation, and as far as Long Fei knows, there are at least 20,000 to 30,000 Japanese troops stationed in Nanjing.

This doesn't even include the Japanese troops around Nanjing.

Therefore, rescuing people from a heavily guarded, militarily protected bacteriological research base is extremely difficult.

The losses of the personnel involved are unpredictable. The key question is, even if they can be rescued, how can they be safely evacuated?

Therefore, this issue became a knot in Long Fei's heart, and he never mentioned it.

But now that Xie Qiang has asked, Long Fei has no choice but to tell him the truth.

So he sighed and said, "How can one find a way to have both in this world, to be true to the Buddha and to the one I love?"

Xie Qiang understood what Long meant, shook his head in pain, and remained silent.

Long Fei continued, "If we don't bomb this Japanese germ research base, tens of thousands of our compatriots will suffer."

"But if it explodes, we currently have no way to save these compatriots who have been captured and persecuted by the Japanese."

"When faced with two evils, choose the lesser; when faced with two benefits, choose the greater. I can only express my deepest apologies to these compatriots. If my decision is wrong or guilty, I am willing to bear all the blame alone."

Long Fei's words were both responsible and frank, and after hearing them, no one around him felt that his decision was problematic.

Instead, everyone transformed their grief and indignation into boundless strength, accelerating the excavation process.

It only took an hour and a half to dig the tunnel to the lawn.

"Commander, we've made a breakthrough."

"Alright, let's investigate the situation up there."

The soldier stepped into the hollows carved into the cave walls on both sides and quickly poked his head out of the ground.

This lawn, located to the left rear of the Central Hospital, has become a natural cover thanks to the many flowers and plants it has been planted with.

After quickly looking around, the soldier returned to the tunnel.

"Commander, I've just taken a closer look, and this location is quite remote; I haven't spotted any Japanese sentries."

"Okay... Xie Qiang, you take two people up first, then lower the rope, and then hoist the explosives up in batches. Remember, the detonation time is set for 6:00 AM tomorrow."

"Yes...I understand."

Long Fei had no idea of ​​mounting gasoline drums on it, since such large oil drums would be too easy for the Japanese to spot.

Xie Qiang randomly selected two soldiers and then led the way out of the tunnel.

After the three arrived at the lawn, Xie Qiang assigned one soldier to keep watch, while he and another soldier lowered the rope and began to retrieve the explosives.

The building was fifty or sixty meters long and four stories high. To ensure it could be completely destroyed, Long Fei took out two hundred kilograms of C4 explosives and hoisted it up.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Qiang set the timers on all the timers and then had the soldier continue to be on guard.

He and another soldier each picked up a few pieces of explosives and quickly made their way to the building under the cover of darkness.

Seeing the drainage ditch built in the corner of the wall, which was twenty or thirty centimeters deep, Xie Qiang chuckled to himself.

This drainage ditch is used to drain rainwater from the roof. It hasn't rained for the past few days, so the drainage ditch is completely dry.

This is perfect for hiding explosives inside, making it even less likely for the Japanese to discover.

After making up his mind, Xie Qiang pointed to the drainage ditch beside him and then put the explosives down.

The soldier understood immediately and followed suit.

Then the two turned around and went back to get the explosives, and they went back and forth like this many times.

They continued until they filled this section of the drainage ditch with two hundred kilograms of explosives.

Before returning to the tunnel, Xie Qiang had a wooden plank lowered down from below to cover the entrance.

Then they repaired the entrance and covered the wooden plank with turf. After entering the entrance, they used the plank to cover it up.

"Commander, everything's been taken care of."

Looking at Xie Qiang and the other two, whose bodies and faces were covered in mud, Long Fei patted them on the shoulder and smiled in approval.

"Okay, you've worked hard. Go and rest."

Shiro Ishii came to the base tonight for two reasons: first, to inspect the research progress, and second, to receive orders.

Because the Japanese forces were becoming increasingly stretched thin, the Japanese General Headquarters decided to use bacteriological warfare against the Chinese army and civilians.

He then ordered Shiro Ishii to transport all the cholera and plague viruses he had cultivated to the bacteriological warfare agent production plant located at the foot of Jiuhua Mountain the next day.

After Shiro Ishii entered the base, he ordered the base to start work overnight to count and pack all the cultured viruses.

Sometimes, it's better to be lucky than early.

Shiro Ishii had no choice but to come at this crucial moment, just before the tunnel was completed and the base was about to suffer a devastating blow.

Just as the Japanese soldiers at the base had been working all night and finished all their work at around 5 a.m.

Long Fei had already placed all the explosives and gasoline barrels in the tunnel.

The area surrounding this central hospital was filled with important Japanese departments.

It houses the Army Headquarters, the Military Police Headquarters, the Japanese Consulate General, a geisha house, a cinema, and a department store, and across the street is the Ming Palace Airport.

The Japanese set up their bacteriological research base here to maintain secrecy and ensure strict security.

The Japanese never dreamed that Long Fei could use five tons of C4 high explosives to deal with the bacterial research base.

Once detonated, even if the surrounding areas are not destroyed, they will suffer severe damage.

Long Fei's operation this time can be said to have achieved multiple goals with one action.
