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

When Commander Liu and his party arrived at Shima Village, Li Yunlong's New First Regiment had already arrived and assisted the Independent Regiment in surrounding Shima Temple.

However, because Yamamoto Ichiki had hostages, Li Yunlong did not dare to launch an attack rashly.

After careful consideration, Commander Liu decided to send someone to negotiate with Yamamoto Ichiki.

After Yamamoto Ichiki occupied Shima Temple, he immediately used the radio to call for reinforcements from the Japanese troops in Taiyuan and Yangquan.

Yoshio Shinotsuka led a large number of troops to besiege the Dragon Flame Legion, leaving only a small number of troops in each area.

Therefore, even when they received Yamamoto Ichiki's plea for help, the Japanese troops in Taiyuan and Yangquan had no soldiers to send and could only refuse.

They instructed Yamamoto Ichiki to either hold his ground and wait for reinforcements, hoping General Shinotsuka would return with his troops, or to break out on his own and reach the nearest city.

This news put Yamamoto Ichiki in a dilemma.

If they hold out and wait for reinforcements, Yamamoto Ichiki really doesn't know how long he can hold out under the heavy siege of the Eighth Route Army.

If they were to break through, Yamamoto Ichiki had absolutely no chance of success.

After two battles, his special forces team was running low on ammunition.

Once the Eighth Route Army gets on our heels, our ammunition will soon run out, and we'll definitely be doomed.

Choose the lesser of two evils, choose the greater of two benefits.

After discussing with his team of special agents, Yamamoto Ichiki finally decided to use the hostages, the temple's fortifications, and the food reserves inside to hold out and await reinforcements.

After Commander Liu sent negotiators to make a call, Yamamoto Ichiki, standing across the temple gate, put forward extremely unreasonable conditions.

Yamamoto Ichiki demanded that the Eighth Route Army withdraw completely, guaranteeing his safe departure with the dozens of monks from the temple. He promised to release the hostages once he reached a safe place.

Commander Liu would never agree to such a request.

Moreover, the Eighth Route Army suffered over 300 casualties in the two battles; how could they possibly let Yamamoto's special forces go?

If we launch a direct attack, Yamamoto Ichiki will definitely resort to desperate measures and kill these dozens of monks.

For a moment, Commander Liu was also conflicted and didn't know how to make a decision.

Suddenly, Commander Liu had a thought: the Dragon Flame Legion.

Although Long Fei sacrificed himself, he believed that the Dragon Flame Legion's fighting power was still intact, and perhaps there would be a solution.

Therefore, Commander Liu hurriedly sent a telegram to the Longyan troops, explaining the situation and requesting support.

After reading the telegram, Long Fei couldn't help but laugh.

"Damn it, I was just about to take down that son of a bitch Yamamoto Ichiki and get revenge for the bullet, but I didn't expect him to be surrounded by the Eighth Route Army."

After Xu Peng took the telegram from Long Fei and read it, he asked a question.

"Commander, what are you planning to do? Yamamoto Ichiki has dozens of hostages in his hands."

Long Fei thought for a moment and said, "Call Xie Qiang over."

Soon, Xie Qiang hurriedly came to Long Fei.

"Commander, do you have a mission for me?"

"Yes, that's right. Immediately mobilize fifty men from your original Special Operations Battalion from your First Special Operations Division. They have an urgent combat mission."

"Yes……"

After Xie Qiang stood at attention and saluted, he was about to turn and leave, but he couldn't help but ask another question.

"Commander, judging from your tone, are we going to conduct a special operation this time?"

Long Fei did not deny it, but nodded in affirmation.

"That's right, this time we're going to use CQB tactics to rescue the hostages and kill Yamamoto Ichiki and his special forces team."

"Damn, this is fun! We haven't practiced CQB tactics in ages, and this time it's even a real battle. This is awesome!"

Seeing Xie Qiang's excited expression, Long Fei added.

"The concept of special operations was indeed invented by the Hans during World War II, and Yamamoto Ichiki also learned its essence in the Hans."

"However, special operations have developed over the past few decades and are no longer comparable to what they used to be."

"Our modern special operations tactics, coupled with modern special operations equipment, will create a generational gap that will ruthlessly crush Yamamoto Ichiki and his special forces."

"This time we're going to dazzle Yamamoto Ichiki and show him what real modern special operations are all about. Before I kill him, I'm going to completely break his mind and spirit."

Xie Qiang seized the opportunity to start flattering him again.

"Commander, you're really going to kill me by attacking my spirit again. I fully support you."

Long Fei waved his hand: "Alright, go and select the personnel. Remember to include a few medics, and then we'll set off immediately."

While Xie Qiang was selecting people, Long Fei gave some instructions to Liu Wei and Xu Peng.

After they arrive at Maling Pass, they are to first build a simple concentration camp using wire and wooden stakes.

As for the necessary supplies, Long Fei had already asked Xiao Bai Bai for them and put them in the truck.

Long Fei ordered all the Japanese soldiers to be kept under guard. In addition, he decided to take advantage of the victory to liberate the cities in eastern Shanxi first.

Long Fei meant that there were still at most 30,000 to 40,000 Japanese soldiers scattered throughout Shanxi Province, stationed in various cities and strongholds.

Eliminating them would be incredibly easy. As for the Nationalist Army and the Jin-Sui Army, if they dare to try and seize the fruits of victory, we will send troops to stop them.

As for the Japanese, they might send troops from Hebei, Henan, or Suiyuan to attack Shanxi.

Long Fei instructed that they should ignore it for the time being, saying that if the Japanese dared to send troops to attack Shanxi again, it would be tantamount to suicide. He said that if one came, they should be killed; if two came, they should be killed.

Long Fei instructed Xu Peng to issue combat missions to his nine subordinate armies.

The First and Second Armies surrounded Taiyuan, the Third and Fourth Armies surrounded Jinzhong, and the Fifth and Sixth Armies surrounded Yangquan.

The Seventh Army besieged Pingding County, the Eighth Army besieged Xiyang County, and the Ninth Army besieged Heshun County.

The 1st Special Operations Division was responsible for the defense of the Corps headquarters at Maling Pass, while the reserve team was responsible for guarding prisoners.

After making the arrangements, Long Fei then led Xie Qiang and the fifty special forces members he had selected.

They sped off towards Shima Village in three Willys Jeeps and two trucks.

Along the way, Long Fei started asking Xiao Bai Bai for some rewards.

"Little Whitey..."

“I’m here. Just tell me what reward you want. You did a great job this time. You wiped out 300,000 Japanese soldiers and 50,000 puppet troops in one battle. That’s a fantastic achievement.”

"Hehe, thank you for the compliment. I need fifty-two sets of special operations equipment, including FAST helmets, bulletproof vests, bulletproof shields, tactical headsets, etc."

"All personnel should be equipped with QCQ-171 submachine guns with silencers, each also with a 06 silenced pistol, two flashbangs and two hand grenades."

"No problem, these are all Little Cases you requested. Your system level has now reached Platinum 64."

"Not only will the reward items be more advanced, but you can also set up two subsystems."

"Okay, thank you. We'll discuss the subsystem issue after I've finalized the selection."

Just as Long Fei was about to enter the system warehouse to check the rewards, Xiao Baibai suddenly spoke.

"Little Dragon, when you have time, there's something I need to discuss with you."

Long Fei didn't pay much attention to what Xiao Baibai said and casually agreed.

"No problem, we can talk when we have time. Right now, I'm in a hurry to teach that son of a bitch Yamamoto Ichiki a lesson."

"Okay, then you go ahead and get busy."
