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

After seeing Long Fei get the equipment from Xiao Bai Bai, Xie Qiang couldn't help but say something.

"Commander, didn't you see how unhappy the monk looked when we left?"

"When he saw that you weren't taking him along, and he didn't dare ask you, he pulled me aside and asked me to tell you."

"But I comforted him by saying that this mission was very special and that he must have his reasons for not taking him with him."

Long Fei shook his head slightly and said, "I saw it, but there's nothing I can do if he's unhappy. Although he's skilled in martial arts and is my bodyguard, he hasn't received CQB tactical training, so he wouldn't be of much help even if he went."

Xie Qiang knew, of course, why Long Fei didn't bring the monks, but he still took the initiative to speak.

"Commander, I will give Monk systematic training again later, teach him everything he needs to know, and make him a true special forces soldier."

Long Fei turned his head and glanced at Xie Qiang: "I know you like monks, but you can't be too biased and only teach him."

“If we’re going to teach, we should teach Xin Jiang, Gan Honglie, Hua Wen, Hua Wu and other promising students together.”

Xie Qiang patted his chest confidently: "No problem, you can trust me to handle things. I guarantee it'll be done in no time."

By the time Long Fei and his group arrived at Shima Village, it was already dark.

The Eighth Route Army troops on guard outside the village saw several vehicles speeding towards them and hurriedly went forward to stop them.

Xie Qiang stopped the car and shouted, "We are from the Dragon Flame Legion. Go and report to your Commander Liu immediately."

Upon hearing this, a platoon leader of the Eighth Route Army nodded repeatedly.

"Ah... the Dragon Flame Legion has arrived. Good, good, come with me, I'll take you to see Commander Liu."

Xie Qiang waved for the Eighth Route Army platoon leader to get into the car, and then, under his direction, the car drove into the village and stopped in front of a house.

The Eighth Route Army platoon leader quickly got out of the car and ran to the soldier standing guard at the door.

"Quickly report to Commander Liu that the Dragon Flame Legion has arrived."

Within a minute, Commander Liu, having received the report, came outside with five or six men to greet them.

Upon seeing Commander Liu, Xie Qiang quickly saluted.

"Greetings, Commander Liu. I am Xie Qiang, the commander of the 1st Special Operations Division of the Dragon Flame Legion."

Division Commander Liu smiled and returned the salute: "Commander Xie, hello, thank you for coming..."

Commander Liu suddenly stopped speaking because he saw Long Fei standing behind Xie Qiang.

"Commander of the Dragon Legion, is that you? You're not..."

Upon hearing Commander Liu's shout, the men behind him immediately opened their eyes and looked over.

Upon seeing this, Li Yunlong, who was following behind Commander Liu, rushed forward and stood in front of Long Fei.

After confirming that it was indeed Long Fei standing alive in front of him, he punched his shoulder hard and cried tears of joy.

"Oh, Brother Longfei, you're still alive! That's wonderful, that's wonderful..."

Kong Jie was just severely criticized at a meeting convened by Division Commander Liu. Since he didn't know Long Fei, he didn't react much while standing there.

Upon receiving the news, Brigade Commander Chen arrived at Shima Village ahead of Long Fei. Hearing Li Yunlong's shouts, he excitedly rushed over to greet him.

"Commander of the Dragon Legion, it really is you! Good... good..."

Overwhelmed with emotion, both Li Yunlong and Brigade Commander Chen choked up.

At this moment, Commander Liu quickly stepped forward, grasped Long Fei's arms, and sighed in a trembling voice.

"Commander Long, we were all deeply saddened when we heard the news that you had been assassinated by the Japanese."

"Now that you're alright, we're relieved. But you have to tell us what happened."

Seeing everyone's reaction, Long Fei felt deeply ashamed.

He had no choice at the time; to keep it a secret, he had to deceive everyone, including the Eighth Route Army.

Long Fei bowed deeply and apologized, saying, "I apologize to everyone. In order to mislead the Japanese and prevent the news from leaking out, I had no choice but to keep it from you as well."

"I'll tell everyone about this after we wipe out Yamamoto Ichiki's special forces."

After Long Fei said that, everyone calmed down, since solving the immediate problem was the most urgent task.

Commander Liu hurriedly said, "Alright, we can talk about this later. Let's go inside and discuss how to deal with the Japanese in the temple."

Long Fei then followed Commander Liu into the room, and after everyone sat down, he hurriedly said...

"Commander Liu has already called to inform us of the specific details of the play. Now I have three pieces of good news to share with you all."

"The first piece of good news is that Yoshio Shinotsuka, the commander of the Japanese First Army stationed in Shanxi, personally led 100,000 Japanese soldiers and 50,000 puppet troops, as well as 200,000 Kwantung Army soldiers urgently transferred from the Northeast to reinforce the Japanese army, into the Taihang Mountains at Maling Pass to encircle and annihilate our Longyan Army Corps."

"However, today the Dragon Flame Legion has completely annihilated them at Junji Pass. Yoshio Shinotsuka, Chief of Staff of the First Army Michitake Yamaoka, and former Commander of the Kwantung Army Kenkichi Ueda have all been killed by us."

"What……"

Apart from Long Fei and Xie Qiang, everyone else in the room wore expressions of utter shock.

Long Fei made it sound so easy; those were 300,000 Japanese soldiers and 50,000 puppet troops.

Even with 350,000 pigs, it's not so easy to just wipe them out.

But Long Fei's words were as effortless as if he were crushing an ant.

Long Fei smiled faintly: "This time I'm not lying to you. Every word is true, no doubt about it."

"Damn it, Brother Longfei, I don't believe what others say, but I believe what you say."

Although Li Yunlong had not known Long Fei for long, he had long admired Long Fei and knew that Long Fei was not a person who spoke carelessly.

Division Commander Liu nodded emphatically and said, "Good, I believe what Commander Long said."

Whether you believe it or not is not important, because with so many Japanese soldiers eliminated, the Eighth Route Army will soon be able to sense the change in the enemy-friendly situation in Shanxi Province.

Long Fei then continued, "The second piece of good news is that I have already dispatched troops to surround these cities in eastern Shanxi. Soon this entire region will be liberated."

Long Fei's second piece of news further enhanced everyone's credibility of his first piece of news.

The fact that the Japanese dared to surround these cities so openly proves that they had absolutely no power to resist.

After Long Fei finished speaking, no one raised any questions; instead, they all applauded loudly.

Long Fei smiled and began to deliver the last piece of good news.

"As for the third piece of good news, it is that we will take care of Yamamoto Ichiki and his special forces team in a short while."

"However, before we take action, I need to find someone familiar with the internal structure of this Shima Temple."

Long Fei's request was not difficult to fulfill, and Commander Liu immediately ordered Li Yunlong to do so.

"Commander Li, immediately send your troops to the village to inquire and see if there are any people that Commander Long needs in Shima Village."

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission."

Li Yunlong dared not delay for a moment. Besides, Brother Longfei's matter was his matter, and he had to do everything he could to satisfy him.

After Li Yunlong left, Commander Liu looked at Kong Jie, who was sitting there dejectedly, and his anger surged up again.
