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

Long Fei instructed Xue Boling and Wang Yaowu to use Commander Shang's radio to mobilize a regiment of soldiers to transport weapons and equipment, and requested that one hundred drivers be included among them.

After the two left, Long Fei immediately asked Xiao Bai Bai for weapons and equipment.

"Little Bai, you heard my conversation with Commander Xue. Also, the 32nd Army is about to join my Dragon Flame Legion, and I need to replace their weapons and equipment, so..."

Xiao Bai interrupted impatiently, "Alright, stop rambling. You successfully prevented the breach of the Huayuankou dike, saving 89 precious lives, preventing tens of millions of people from suffering from floods, and ensuring that five million people were not displaced."

"This merit is even greater than your achievement of eliminating hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers. In addition, you destroyed Doihara's 14th Division, and your level has been raised to Silver 28. So just ask for whatever you want."

Since Xiaobaibai had already expressed her opinion, Longfei didn't mince words and directly stated the details of the required supplies.

"I plan to donate one hundred GMI trucks, one hundred tons of gasoline, ten M1A1 155mm howitzers to the First Army Corps, along with M33 half-track tractors, and two thousand high-explosive armor-piercing shells."

"10,000 M1 Garand rifles, 5 million rounds of ammunition; 1,000 Thompson submachine guns, 1 million rounds of ammunition; 100 Maxim heavy machine guns, 1 million rounds of ammunition."

"Fifty M2 mortars, 5,000 rounds of ammunition, fifty bazooka rocket launchers, 1,000 rockets, and 50,000 MARK2 hand grenades."

"That's about it. Now, here's what I need..."

Xiao Baibai immediately interrupted, "Wait a minute, Xiao Longzi, whose side are you on? Aren't you afraid that if you give so many weapons and equipment to the National Army, they will turn their guns on Baotashan?"

Long Fei said confidently, "Now that we are all pointing our guns outward, our common enemy is the Japanese. Strengthening the National Army will also help them fight against the Japanese on the main battlefield."

"Besides, what am I afraid of? I warned them, and they agreed to my terms. Even if they dare to break their promise, I really would dare to wipe them out."

"Oh, look at you gritting your teeth. I'm just reminding you, just keep it in mind. Now, continue telling me what you want."

"I'm too lazy to count. Anyway, there are more than 20,000 troops. You can decide on the equipment. By the way, when we get to Shanxi, I will establish a base, build an arsenal and an airport, and develop mineral mining and trade."

"So, at that time I will not only need a lot of supplies, but also fighter jets, reconnaissance planes, bombers, as well as a large number of excellent pilots and many professionals. Can the War God System provide all of these?"

"Little Dragon, you're pretty bold. Don't worry, what you're saying is child's play. With your current achievements and merits, you can handle it in no time."

After resolving the equipment issue, Long Fei went out to find Commander Shang.

At this moment, Xue Boling and Wang Yaowu had finished sending the telegram and were with Commander Shang.

The four of them ate breakfast together, and then Commander Shang told Xue Boling and Wang Yaowu to rest for a while before taking Long Fei to a meeting.

Inside the conference room, all officers of the 32nd Army Corps and above had arrived, including three division commanders, six brigade commanders, and eighteen regimental commanders, filling the room to capacity.

Upon seeing Commander Shang enter, everyone immediately stood up and saluted him.

"Commander Shang, hello..."

"Hello everyone, please have a seat."

Then, after everyone was seated, Commander Shang made the announcement.

"I've called everyone here for a meeting today for one thing: I've decided that the entire 32nd Army will join the Dragon Flame Legion."

“You have all followed me through thick and thin for many years. I will definitely be held accountable for this Huayuankou incident, but I don’t want you to be affected.”

"In addition, as you also know, the Dragon Flame Legion is invincible against the Japanese. The Doihara Division, which even 150,000 Nationalist troops could not handle, was easily wiped out by them."

"You will follow Commander Long and from now on, kill the Japanese devils well and show the might of my 32nd Army. Don't embarrass me."

As soon as Commander Shang finished speaking, Song Kentang, the commander of the 141st Division, hurriedly asked.

"Commander, aren't you coming with us?"

Commander Shang smiled bitterly and said, "I'm old and disheartened. Besides, someone has to take responsibility for this. I'm the commander, so it's my job to clean up the mess."

Huang Guanghua, commander of the 139th Division, advised, "Commander, the Nationalist government will definitely not let this go. I am worried about your safety. You should come with us."

Commander Lü Qi of the 142nd Division echoed, "Yes, Commander, the leaders of the National Government are notoriously petty. If you stay, you're likely to meet with bad luck. You should come with us."

None of the three division commanders objected to joining the Dragon Flame Legion; they simply didn't want to keep Commander Shang around and were worried about his safety.

At this moment, Long Fei spoke up: "I understand Commander Shang's feelings, and I respect his decision."

"I don't think the three division commanders need to worry too much. The news will be published on the front page of the newspapers today."

"It will say that Commander Shang was coerced by me into holding the press conference. That way, even if the leaders of the National Government are angry, they can't do anything about it because there are so many subordinates watching."

Commander Shang added, "Commander Long is absolutely right. In addition, I have already sent a telegram to the National Government, admitting my mistake and submitting my resignation. So you don't need to worry about me. Just focus on killing the Japanese devils, and I will be watching your performance."

"Yes... I will resolutely obey Commander Shang's orders."

Seeing everyone stand up to express their opinions, Commander Shang hurriedly raised his hand to signal everyone to sit down.

"I need to correct you. From this moment on, you must absolutely obey the orders of the Dragon Legion Commander. Now, please let the Dragon Legion Commander speak to everyone."

All the officers immediately burst into enthusiastic applause.

"First of all, I sincerely welcome you to join us. My Dragon Flame Legion not only has the Central Army, but also the Sichuan Army and the Yunnan Army, so I guarantee that I will treat everyone equally and will never show favoritism."

"I have only one requirement for you: obey orders, train hard, and fight the enemy."

"Finally, I announce that the 32nd Army shall now become the 9th Army of my Longyan Legion, with Song Kentang, the former commander of the 141st Division, as its commander, and shall be composed of the 25th, 26th and 27th Divisions."

"The original 139th Division was reorganized into the 25th Division, with Huang Guanghua as the division commander and the rank of major general."

"The original 142nd Division was reorganized into the 27th Division, with Lü Qi as the division commander and the rank of major general."

"The original 141st Division was reorganized into the 26th Division, and the division commander was temporarily concurrently held by Commander Song."

"I order you to return to your unit immediately and set up camp outside Zhengzhou before nightfall today. Tomorrow I will reissue your weapons, equipment and pay, and then you will depart for Shanxi."

"Yes……"
