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

The Eighth Route Army soldiers watching couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"That's so damn satisfying! Those bastards deserve to be treated like this."

"That's right, the Japanese devils are not human, they are worse than pigs and dogs. They killed all the villagers in many villages."

"Yes, those sons of bitches, they don't even spare children and babies, they bury the villagers alive, and even lock them in houses and burn them alive."

"Hey, if it weren't for the discipline of our Eighth Route Army that forbids killing prisoners, I would have gone up and stabbed a few to death to avenge the comrades and villagers who sacrificed their lives."

“These beasts came to our country to kill and set fires, they deserve to die, good riddance.”

After listening to the soldiers' discussion, Commander Qin and Political Commissar Lai looked at each other.

They thought that sometimes, when it comes to boosting morale and doing ideological work with the soldiers, methods like Long Fei's are more effective than others.

At this moment, Long Fei asked the monk and the Nationalist soldiers.

"Brothers, more Japanese prisoners will be brought over soon, and you'll be able to take your revenge."

"I'd like to ask what your plans are next? If you want to go home, I'll give you travel expenses."

There were more than a hundred Nationalist soldiers in this group. After hearing this, they looked at each other and then all looked at Wei Dayong.

Although Wei Dayong was only a sergeant squad leader in the Nationalist Army, in the prisoner-of-war camp, the Nationalist officers of higher rank than him were either killed by the Japanese or died from exhaustion and illness while mining coal.

In addition, Wei Dayong had been a monk at Shaolin Temple for ten years and had mastered excellent martial arts skills, so everyone respected him and regarded him as their backbone.

Wei Dayong understood what everyone meant; they were all watching to see what his decision would be.

"Commander Long, the Japanese are coming. We can't go home. Why don't we join you to kill the Japanese? Would you be willing to take us in?"

Long Fei laughed and said, "If you're willing to join, of course I'll accept you. Monk, how about being my bodyguard?"

Wei Dayong didn't expect Long Fei to think so highly of him, actually making him a bodyguard as soon as he arrived.

Besides requiring good skills and quick reflexes, the most important thing is that there must be enough trust.

Wei Dayong was deeply moved. Long Fei's trust in him made him feel that his decision to stay was absolutely right.

"Alright, the legion commander is giving me face, I will definitely protect you. From now on, I, Wei Dayong, swear that I will protect you with my life. Unless I die, I will never let you get a single hair on your head."

Long Fei punched Wei Dayong in the chest and said in a deep voice.

"Monk, stop talking about dying. I only have one request for you, and that is that you must live well."

Long Fei already had a plan in mind, so he also had a proper way to settle these Kuomintang brothers.

So he announced this to his fellow Nationalist soldiers.

"Brothers of the National Revolutionary Army, I warmly welcome you to join my Dragon Flame Legion."

"I plan to establish a repentance camp, which will be used to detain Japanese prisoners of war. Previously, my Dragon Flame Legion did not need prisoners when killing Japanese soldiers."

"But now my idea is that it would be too easy for them to die. From now on, all Japanese soldiers who surrender voluntarily should be imprisoned in the repentance camp."

"You are in charge of managing the repentance and rescue efforts. We will use their own methods against them, kill all the wounded, and make the unharmed serve as laborers so that they can repent and atone for their sins through labor reform."

“We’ll also make the Japanese soldiers mine coal or do other manual labor. We’ll give them one meal a day, just like the Japanese do, and if they get sick, they can bear it themselves.”

"If they've worked for ten years and are still alive, then let them go. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the Nationalist soldiers all cheered.

"Great idea, great idea, that's brilliant!"

"Commander, rest assured, let alone ten years, I guarantee these sons of bitches won't even last a year."

"Yes, the corps commander is right. Let's give them a taste of their own medicine and let the Japanese devils experience what it's like to be worse than dead."

Seeing that the Nationalist soldiers all agreed, Long Fei then asked Wei Dayong to select and appoint the battalion commander and subordinate cadres of the Repentance Battalion from among the Nationalist soldiers.

Then, Long Fei told everyone to rest where they were and ordered that food be prepared immediately so that everyone could have a good meal later.

Commander Qin and Political Commissar Lai were nearly speechless with astonishment when they saw the self-propelled kitchen vehicle.

"Commander Long, is this how your cooks prepare food? This is truly an eye-opener for us."

Long Fei then gave them a tour and explained things to them.

Then, Long Fei asked, "Commander Qin, I'd like to ask if you know the location of the 772nd Regiment of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army?"

Commander Qin countered, "Commander Long, what do you want with them?"

Long Fei could only say half-truthfully, "I know Li Yunlong, the battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 772nd Regiment. I want to catch up with him. At the same time, I also have a batch of weapons and equipment to give to the 129th Division."

Long Fei knew that, according to the timeline in "Bright Sword," Li Yunlong was not yet the commander of the New First Regiment at this time.

He is currently Commander Liu, the "God of War," and the battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 772nd Regiment under the 129th Division.

Commander Qin did know the location of the 772nd Regiment's base, as it was not far from the base of their Qin-Lai Detachment.

However, before answering, Commander Qin shamelessly asked.

"Commander of the Dragon Legion, you said you would give us a big gift..."

Long Fei laughed heartily, "Commander Qin, don't worry, I've already prepared your generous gift, I'll give it to you in a bit."

Commander Qin felt much more at ease, as he saw that the weapons and equipment used by Long Fei's troops were simply too good.

If Long Fei could send some to them, the combat power of Qin Lai's detachment would increase exponentially, and the team could expand rapidly.

Commander Qin blushed and explained embarrassedly.

“Our detachment has just been established and has a weak foundation, so I…”

Seeing that Commander Qin looked embarrassed, Long Fei quickly interrupted.

"Commander Qin, I understand what you're saying. Don't worry, the big gift I'm giving you can greatly enhance your combat effectiveness and allow you to quickly expand your forces to tens of thousands."

"At that time, your detachment will not only be able to fight the Japanese head-on, but it will also be able to be upgraded to a division in terms of organization."

"What? Really? That's great, thank you, thank you... By the way, the 772nd Regiment's base is not far from our Zhizhi Detachment's base. If you want to go, come back to the base with me, and I'll send someone to take you there."

"Okay, thank you, Commander Qin."

Not only Commander Qin, but also Political Commissar Lai, who was listening nearby, was so happy that he almost jumped for joy.

Before the food was ready, the Third Regiment arrived at Chestnut City with the prisoners.

Long Fei assigned the newly established repentance camp to handle these prisoners of war.

Then, he pulled Xie Qiang to a secluded spot and quickly retrieved enough weapons and equipment from the system's inventory to arm the Qin Lai detachment.

Then, Long Fei called over Commander Qin and Political Commissar Lai, and pointed to the weapons and equipment in front of them to introduce them.

"Commander Qin, Political Commissar Lai, this is only a small part of the gifts I am giving you. The rest of my supply troops will deliver them directly to your base."

Commander Qin and Political Commissar Lai were overjoyed even after seeing only this small portion of the weapons and equipment.

These weapons and ammunition included Garand rifles, Thompson submachine guns, MG42 machine guns, as well as mortars and grenades, and even two bazookas, all equipped with sufficient ammunition.

Actually, if Commander Qin hadn't been in a hurry, Long Fei was prepared to transfer them all out once they reached the base.

But it's fine this way; it lets them be happy in advance.

Commander Qin and Political Commissar Lai each grasped one of Long Fei's hands, speaking excitedly.

"Commander Dragon Legion, we really don't know how to thank you."

Long Feihao shook his head and said, "Commander Qin, Political Commissar Lai, no need to thank me. We are all Chinese soldiers, fighting against the Japanese invaders and protecting our homeland and people."
