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

At 5:50, Long Fei led 500 action team members and, before dawn, had already reached the Yangtze River.

However, we saw not only Japanese patrol boats on the river in this area, but also many Japanese sentries on the shore.

Long Fei decided to continue upstream and find a safe place to quickly swim across the river.

Although there are ferries in the system, this guy is too conspicuous and makes too much noise.

If the Japanese discover us, we will undoubtedly become sitting ducks.

With the detonation time fast approaching, Long Fei told everyone to hide temporarily and wait for the explosion before continuing.

Long Fei anxiously looked at his watch; the sky was beginning to brighten.

The timer provided by Xiaobaibai is very accurate, down to the second.

"Rumble..."

When the time came, five tons of C4 were detonated instantly.

At the time of the explosion, Shiro Ishii was supervising his subordinates as they moved boxes of viruses from the basement to the open space in the courtyard.

The explosive power of C4 was so great that the Central Hospital collapsed in just a few seconds.

Before Shiro Ishii and dozens of Japanese soldiers standing in the courtyard could react, they were blown to pieces.

Immediately afterwards, two hundred barrels of gasoline were also blown apart. All the buildings within a hundred meters of the Central Hospital were not only damaged by the shockwave of the explosion, but were also ignited by the flying gasoline.

The raging flames burned fiercely, turning the sky crimson.

The scene was like hellfire, endlessly devouring everything.

Of course, those dozens of compatriots who were captured by the Japanese for experiments and whom they called Maruta also tragically perished.

However, if these compatriots who perished knew that their sacrifice could save the lives of countless soldiers and civilians, they would not feel wronged at all; on the contrary, they would face their deaths calmly and without hesitation.

Xie Qiang looked at the red light reflected in the sky and said with delight.

"Commander, that bastard Shiro Ishii will either be blown to smithereens or burned to ashes."

"It's too good for him to be blown up like this. He should have been made to try out all the viruses he researched and die in excruciating pain."

Seeing that Xie Qiang was still indignant, Long Fei gently patted him on the shoulder.

"The fact that Shiro Ishii walked right into our trap is an unexpected bonus for our operation, an unexpected joy for the people, and a fitting punishment for those compatriots who died tragically at his hands."

"Alright, everyone, let's keep going. While the Japanese in the city are in chaos, let's find a place to cross the river as soon as possible."

Before six o'clock, Hata Shunroku was already awake in his bed at his residence.

He didn't get up immediately, but instead thought about how he should make a good impression when the Emperor's special envoy arrived tomorrow.

Hata Shunroku squinted and pondered slowly when suddenly a deafening roar erupted. He lay on his bed and felt the entire house shaking violently.

Immediately afterwards, the window glass shattered with a "bang" and fell to the ground with a "crash".

The massive shockwave also threw Hata Shunroku off the bed, against the wall, and then slammed him heavily to the ground.

Although he doesn't know what happened, he at least realizes that something serious must have occurred.

Ignoring the pain in his body, he forced himself to stand up and then staggered to the window.

Looking out, all that could be seen was that the Central Hospital in the distance had become a ruin and a sea of ​​fire.

The nearby buildings were also engulfed in flames; had his mansion not been farther away, it too would have been destroyed.

"Baka...Baka...What on earth happened?"

Hata Shunroku let out a beast-like roar, turned around, quickly put on his military uniform, and then rushed out the door.

By this time, the guards outside were in complete chaos. They had all been knocked to the ground by the shockwave and were covered in bruises.

Upon seeing Hata Shunroku, they quickly stood at attention and saluted.

"Commander..."

"Alright, stop saluting and don't just stand there. Go and find out what happened."

"Hai..."

Of course, no matter how hard the Japanese investigated, they couldn't find a single clue.

Because all the evidence was destroyed in the explosion and fire.

Finally, the Japanese Emperor not only canceled the special envoy's trip, but also canceled the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere promotion conference.

As for Hata Shunroku, he was given a serious warning for dereliction of duty and ordered to find out the truth within ten days.

Let alone ten days, even if you gave him ten years, that little devil Hata Shunroku wouldn't be able to find out a single thing.

Not long after, the matter was dropped because the Japanese focused their attention on the Battle of Xuzhou.

Since no remains of Shiro Ishii were found, his clothing was used to build a cenotaph for him in Japan.

After successfully crossing the river, Long Fei and his group quickly returned.

However, Long Fei remembered his previous promise to have everyone return to Zhuzhen and deal with the Japanese soldiers and puppet troops in the town.

When everyone arrived at the village they had passed through earlier, Longfei asked them to go in first to check out the situation.

Upon entering the village, they discovered that only thirty or forty people remained, all of whom were elderly.

These elderly people are now simply waiting to die, because the Japanese have not only captured all the able-bodied men and women, but also stolen all the food.

These days, the elderly rely on digging up wild vegetables outside to fill their stomachs, which is how they barely survive.

Seeing this, Long Fei felt a pang of pain in his heart, so he quickly took out canned food, compressed biscuits, and other items from the system so that the elderly could have a good meal.

As a result, the elderly people only ate a little bit and then stopped eating, carefully putting away the rest.

Long Fei knew that they were afraid that if they ate all the food at once, they would have to continue to go hungry.

"Grandpas, please eat as much as you like. I have plenty here, and I'll save some for you."

Although Long Fei said this, his mind was actually in a mess, because he couldn't find a way to settle them in a short time.

Taking them with us is definitely not an option. We can leave them more food, but there will always be a time when it runs out.

Moreover, the Japanese might come again in the meantime. If they see these things, they might not only steal them, but also bring death to the elderly.

Just as Long Fei was smoking and deep in thought, Xie Qiang suddenly ran over to report.

"Commander, there is a force approaching this area about two kilometers outside the village. They number about two thousand and their uniforms indicate they are from the New Fourth Army."

Long Fei immediately stubbed out his cigarette and stood up abruptly.

"The New Fourth Army... has arrived at just the right time. Let's go see them."

The vanguard of the New Fourth Army consisted of a platoon. They were carefully searching and advancing when they suddenly discovered dozens of people standing at the entrance of the village.

The uniforms these people wore were very unusual; they had never seen them before and could not identify which unit they belonged to.

The platoon leader of the New Fourth Army immediately sent a soldier back to report the news, while he and the rest of the platoon carefully monitored the situation.

The New Fourth Army's every move was under the surveillance of Long Fei's reconnaissance personnel.

The reconnaissance team immediately reported to Long Fei via walkie-talkie.

Long Fei then took a few steps forward and shouted loudly.

"Brothers of the New Fourth Army, don't misunderstand, we are not Japanese devils, we are the Longyan Unit, my name is Long Fei, I would like to meet your commander."

The platoon leader saw that Long Fei introduced himself and noticed that although they were all carrying guns, they were slung over their bodies and not held in their hands, so they obviously had no hostile intentions.

So the platoon leader told the other soldiers to stay on guard, while he walked over and stood in front of Long Fei.

"May I ask which unit of the New Fourth Army you belong to?"

After hesitating for a moment, the platoon leader answered truthfully.

"We are the First Regiment of the First Detachment of the New Fourth Army."

Upon hearing this, Long Fei immediately burst into laughter.

"Haha, so it's General Chen's troops. He's here too?"

"No, Commander Chen didn't come. Our Deputy Commander Luo is leading the team."

Long Fei certainly knew who Deputy Commander Luo was. This General Luo, who rose from slavery to general and was called "the Swift-Footed Warrior" by the Lion Country reporters, was not only a man of great military achievements.

Based on years of guerrilla warfare experience, they also invented the "plum blossom stake" tactic, which includes ambushes, entanglements, blocking, disruptions, and annihilation.

If he hadn't died of a cerebral hemorrhage in 46, he would definitely have been a general after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
