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

After Tada Shun explained his reasons, the others agreed and stopped objecting.

Everyone looked at Tianhuang, awaiting his final decision.

After careful consideration, Tenko accepted Taten's suggestion, but in order to put pressure on Yoshio Shinotsuka, he announced...

"Alright, then let Yoshio Shinotsuka take command. But make it clear to him that if he fails to wipe out the Dragon Flame Legion this time, he will have no choice but to commit seppuku."

"In addition, your Army General Staff should discuss how many troops need to be transferred from Manchukuo to Shanxi."

Sugiyama Gen then spoke with great enthusiasm: "Your Majesty, I suggest that 200,000 troops be transferred from Manchuria to Shanxi, along with the First Army of Shanxi, numbering over 100,000, to achieve a swift victory and eliminate the Dragon Flame Legion within two or three months. Afterward, we should return immediately, as we cannot afford to be complacent about the Rakshasa Kingdom."

This time, Sugiyama Gen's suggestion was approved by Tenko.

Tada Shunji saw that Amako had agreed to his suggestion, and then took the opportunity to make another suggestion.

"Your Majesty, I would like to recommend someone else to you."

"Oh...who is it? Tell me."

"Your Majesty, I recommend Colonel Yamamoto Ichiki to you. He graduated from the Munich Special Military Academy in the United States of Germany and returned to his country."

"Using the special operations concepts he has learned, he has assembled a very powerful special forces team. I suggest that his special forces team be sent to assist Yoshio Shinotsuka."

"Firstly, it can demonstrate this novel special operations concept in actual combat; secondly, it can ambush and assassinate the Eighth Route Army commander within Shanxi Province; and thirdly, it can be used to deal with the commander of the Dragon Flame Legion."

After hearing this, Tenko agreed to Tada Shun's suggestion without much consideration.

“Very good. Let Yamamoto Ichiki take his special forces to Shanxi to fully assist Shinotsuka Yoshio and tell him that the opportunity to make contributions to the Empire and serve me has come. He must not let me down.”

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will certainly convey His Majesty's words to Colonel Mimoto Ichiki."

Ultimately, the meeting decided to transfer 200,000 troops from Manchukuo to Shanxi within a month, along with a large number of heavy artillery and tank units.

In addition, Yamamoto Ichiki and his special forces team immediately set off from the mainland to Shanxi to report to Shinotsuka Yoshio.

As for Lieutenant General Yoshijiro Umezu, the current commander of the First Army in Shanxi, he has been transferred to the position of commander of the Kwantung Army.

The next morning, Long Fei woke up and hurriedly went to the system warehouse to check, only to find that Xiao Baibai had already stored all the promised rewards there.

So Long Fei immediately got up, asked the monk to get breakfast, and then called Xie Qiang, and together they went to an open space.

Seeing that no one was around, Long Fei immediately transferred all the supplies that had been given to the 129th Division out in one go.

Then, he told Xie to send someone to guard the place before he went back to have breakfast.

After breakfast, Long Fei led the monk to the headquarters of the 772nd Regiment.

At this time, Division Commander Liu, Brigade Commander Chen, and Regiment Commander Yi had all gotten up and were having breakfast at the regimental headquarters.

Upon seeing Long Fei enter, Division Commander Liu hurriedly greeted him.

"Commander of the Dragon Legion, come and have breakfast with us."

Long Fei walked forward with a smile and saw that they were eating sweet potato and wild vegetable soup.

Long Fei thought about the porridge and steamed buns he had just eaten, his face flushed, his nose tingled, and he let out a long sigh.

As division commanders, brigade commanders, and regimental commanders of the Eighth Route Army, they received the same treatment as the soldiers, which made Long Fei feel both heartache and even greater respect.

“Hey, I knew the Eighth Route Army was having a hard time, but I didn’t expect it to be this bad. Monk, go and get twenty big steamed buns right away, and bring over a pot of porridge.”

"Yes……"

The monk ran away quickly.

Although Commander Liu knew that Long Fei meant well, the whole division should be treated the same, and as leaders, they had to set an example and not be given special treatment.

"Commander Dragon, you're too kind. We can eat this without any problem."

Long Fei didn't say anything. After sitting down, he lit a cigarette and smoked silently, feeling extremely distressed.

A short while later, the monk returned, placing steaming hot buns and porridge on the table and hurriedly greeting everyone.

"Sirs, please eat while it's hot."

Commander Liu smiled and shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness. Guards, take the buns and porridge to the field hospital for the wounded."

Upon hearing this, the monk objected and hurriedly stopped Commander Liu's bodyguard.

Seeing this, Long Fei waved his hand at the monk.

"Commander Liu, the gifts for you have all been delivered by our legion's supply troops. Please come with me to receive them."

"Oh... okay, let's go..."

Upon hearing this, Commander Liu abandoned his breakfast and stood up to leave.

Brigade Commander Chen and Regiment Commander Yi also hurriedly got up and followed behind.

Upon seeing the mountain of supplies, Commander Liu and his men were nearly speechless with astonishment.

Commander Yi couldn't contain himself any longer and asked in an incredulous tone.

"Commander Dragon Legion, are these really a gift for us?"

Long Fei smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right. There are weapons and equipment for 20,000 people here, including semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns, machine guns, grenades, and mortars."

"There is also a large amount of medicine and enough food supplies to last you for six months."

"In addition, I have prepared fifty radio stations and one million silver dollars for you."

"Considering that the Eighth Route Army is currently mainly engaged in guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, I have equipped you with twenty 75mm infantry guns produced in the Hans country."

"This cannon weighs only 800 jin (400 kg), so it can be pulled by horses and mules, making it easy for you to maneuver."

"As for shells, I've provided you with 5,000 rounds, 1,000 of which are armor-piercing shells. You can use them to deal with the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles."

"The key is that this cannon has a range of 4,000 meters, which is 1,200 meters farther than the Japanese Type 92 infantry gun, and can suppress the Japanese artillery."

If Li Yunlong were here, he would definitely start shouting again: "Old Li has struck it rich again!"

Division Commander Liu and Brigade Commander Chen were too excited to speak.

After a long while, Commander Liu held Long Fei's hands tightly and spoke in as calm a tone as possible.

"Thank you for the Dragon Flame Legion's strong support, and thank you for the Dragon Legion Commander's generous gift."

"With these weapons and equipment, my 129th Division can better eliminate the Japanese devils."

Long Fei smiled and shook his head: "Commander Liu, there's really no need to thank me. It's all for fighting the Japanese. I've also prepared big gifts for the Eighth Route Army headquarters and other divisions, but they won't arrive for a while."

Long Fei currently doesn't know how many rewards he can exchange for his accumulated battle achievements.

So he plans to do some calculations before determining the amount to give away, since his legion also needs to be replenished and expanded.

"what……"

Commander Liu was truly shocked. Long Fei was too amazing; he just gave away so many weapons, equipment, and supplies without hesitation.

Brigade Commander Chen and Regiment Commander Yi could not contain their joy.

The two looked around and touched things.

"Commander Yi, yesterday I saw the supplies that Commander Long gave to Li Yunlong, and I even joked that he was congratulating him on making a fortune."

"If Li Yunlong were here today, he'd be congratulating me on my fortune. I'm the real landlord now, hahaha..."

"Brigade Commander, then my 772nd Regiment must be rich too."

Brigade Commander Chen shook his head and said, "No, to be precise, our 129th Division has made a fortune, hahaha."
