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

Long Fei looked at Commander Shang and sneered, "Commander Shang, you make it sound very high-sounding."

"High-end? What's so high-end about it?"

This term wasn't popular in this era, and Commander Shang was completely baffled; he certainly wouldn't understand it.

Long Fei took a drag of his cigarette and slowly explained.

"High-end means sophisticated, classy, ​​and classy."

Commander Shang nodded silently, thinking that Long Fei was praising him.

Unexpectedly, Long Fei changed the subject and started criticizing.

"I would like to ask Commander Shang, what is a nation?"

"A nation is a country established by countless people."

Commander Shang was convinced that his answer was flawless.

But Long Fei shook his head directly: "As the ancient saying goes: family, country, and the world! Only with a family can there be a country, and only with a country can one contend for the world."

"Countless ordinary people formed small families, which eventually formed a great nation."

"Moreover, our motto has always been to defend our homeland and drive out the Japanese pirates."

Commander Shang listened for a long time but still couldn't understand what Long Fei was trying to say.

"Commander of the Dragon Legion, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Long Fei then said with utmost seriousness, "What I want to say is that if the people's small families are gone, the country will also lose the foundation upon which it exists. The people are like water, and the country is like a boat. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."

"The Nationalist government treated the people like dirt and had no basic concept of family, country and the world. The Nationalist army was unsuccessful in the war of resistance and suffered defeat after defeat."

"Instead of reflecting on its mistakes and summarizing its experiences, the Nationalist government came up with the inhumane and ingenious plan of using water as a weapon."

“What you’re doing is even worse than what the Japanese devils did.”

Commander Shang seemed a little excited at this moment. He stood up abruptly and pointed at Long Fei.

"How did you know about the Nationalist government's plan? That's top secret."

Long Fei said as he stubbed out his cigarette.

"If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. How I know is not important. What is important is whether you, Commander Shang, want to do this heinous and inhumane thing, stain your hands with countless innocent souls, and bear the infamy of being condemned by thousands and leaving a bad name for ten thousand years."

"I...this...sigh..."

Under Long Fei's righteous and awe-inspiring questioning, Commander Shang was unable to sit down, looking extremely disheveled, and his face turned pale.

Long Fei didn't say anything more at this point, but instead gave Commander Shang some time to calm down.

After a long while, Commander Shang saw a pack of white cigarettes in front of Long Fei. Without asking any questions, he picked it up, flicked one out, and lit it.

After a few bites, more than half of a Zhonghua cigarette was gone.

After calming down, Commander Shang made a sophistry.

"Commander Long, you just said that the National Army has suffered defeat after defeat, and the National Government leaders have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure."

"When the Yellow River flows down, it can create a large flood zone, which will prevent the Japanese mechanized troops from advancing. I believe this will definitely stop the Japanese advance."

"Smack...bullshit..."

Long Fei slammed his fist on the table, furious and unleashing a torrent of abuse, disregarding the fact that Commander Shang was older and held a higher rank than him.

Commander Shang was startled by Long Fei's reaction and stared at him blankly.

"The Nationalist government leadership saw that the Japanese Doihara Division was about to capture Kaifeng and Zhengzhou, then control the Pinghan Railway, and then join forces with other Japanese troops to encircle Wuhan."

"Just to delay the Japanese advance, the Nationalist government leaders are willing to subject millions of people to undeserved disasters and cause millions of innocent lives to be lost."

"Commander Shang, I just want to ask you, don't you have any conscience? Can the Yellow River really stop the Japanese devils?"

Commander Shang was completely overwhelmed by Long Fei's imposing aura, and appeared powerless and helpless.

"Well, I'm not sure if it can stop them, but it can at least slow down the Japanese advance."

Seeing Commander Shang's appearance, Long Fei shook his head and sighed.

"Let me tell you, even if we breach the Yellow River dike and use water as our weapon, at most we can only force the Japanese to take a longer route."

"Given the command level of the Nationalist government and the combat strength of the Nationalist army, Wuhan will ultimately fall."

"I wonder if Commander Shang has read Mr. Jiang Baili's 'On National Defense'?"

"Hunan is the only place to negotiate a stalemate with the Japanese. Therefore, the Nationalist government should shift its defense focus to Changsha, Hunan."

Commander Shang had indeed studied this book and strongly agreed with its strategic viewpoints.

"Yes, I have read Mr. Jiang's book and I strongly agree with his views."

At this moment, Long Fei sighed and said, "Mr. Shang, I have explained a lot of principles to you. If you are a person with a conscience, I hope you will not carry out the scoundrel orders of the National Government leaders."

"In addition, I want to tell you that the Japanese Doihara Division has been completely annihilated by my Dragon Flame Legion, and Shangqiu and Lanfeng have also been captured by me."

"What...really? This...how is this possible...hundreds of thousands of Nationalist troops surrounded the Doihara Division and were routed by him, and you annihilated them?"

This news completely shocked Commander Shang. He muttered to himself, unable to believe it.

Long Fei smiled confidently and said, "I have no reason to deceive you. I hope you will report to the leaders of the National Government immediately and ask them to cancel the order to breach the dike."

"I sent troops to surround you in order to stop you from committing heinous crimes. I may as well tell you frankly that if you continue to go your own way, my Dragon Flame Legion will act on behalf of Heaven and annihilate your 20th Army Group."

Domineering, incredibly domineering!

Long Fei employed a two-pronged approach, combining both soft and hard tactics. He first presented the facts, then reasoned with you, appealing to your emotions and explaining the logic.

Finally, here's a warning for you, leaving you with absolutely no choice.

Commander Shang didn't really agree with the Nationalist government's decision to begin with, but as a soldier, he had to obey orders.

Long Fei's words touched his heart and soul, making him suddenly realize the truth.

In addition, the annihilation of the Doihara Division had already slowed down the Japanese advance.

Finally, Long Fei's domineering threat forced Commander Shang to believe that if he insisted on taking action, Long Fei would show no mercy.

The Dragon Flame Force's record and combat effectiveness speak for themselves; they could easily wipe out the Doihara Division, so eliminating his 20th Army Group would not be a bluff for them.

"Alright, I'll go back to Kaifeng right away and call the Nationalist government leaders to ask them to cancel the order."

After saying this, Commander Shang was about to get up and leave when Long Fei stopped him and raised his glass sincerely.

"On behalf of millions of compatriots, I thank Commander Shang for his understanding and for pulling back from the brink. Since this is a banquet, shouldn't we at least have a drink before you leave? I toast you."

"I'm ashamed. I should be thanking you for stopping me from becoming a sinner for all time and bearing eternal infamy."

"On behalf of the National Government, I would like to thank the Dragon Flame Legion for annihilating the Doihara Division."

Commander Shang picked up his wine glass, finished speaking, clinked glasses with Long Fei, and then downed the glass in one gulp.

Unexpectedly, after Commander Shang returned to Kaifeng, he called the National Government leaders to explain the situation and request that the order to breach the dike be cancelled.

He was severely reprimanded by the leaders of the Nationalist government on the spot.

"Damn it, this Long Fei is a scourge to the country and its people. How could he possibly understand the National Government's strategic plans? He's just a short-sighted brute who only knows how to fight and kill."

"I'm telling you, you are a soldier and you must obey and carry out orders. Now I order you to immediately blow up the Yellow River dike at Huayuankou, or you will be court-martialed."

"What...this..."

"Stop 'wait,' just follow the orders..."

Commander Shang wanted to try to persuade him, but the Nationalist government leaders had already angrily hung up the phone.
