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

After Long Fei walked out of Shima Temple, he found that Commander Liu, Political Commissar Deng, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and others were all standing outside the temple gate.

Seeing the monks being brought out one by one as hostages, they knew that Long Fei's operation had definitely succeeded.

So they all came to wait outside the mountain gate, but not knowing the specific situation inside, they did not rush in.

"Commander Liu, Political Commissar Deng, the operation was a great success. Most of the Japanese soldiers were killed, and the rest were captured. There were no casualties among the hostages, and our men were also unharmed."

"Good, well done, thank you for your hard work."

Commander Liu smiled broadly and readily offered his affirmation.

"It's no trouble at all. I still need to deal with the prisoners. Please wait a moment."

After saying that, Long Fei waved lightly at Li Yunlong and Kong Jie.

The two looked at Commander Liu, and after he nodded in agreement, they followed Long Fei away.

The twelve wounded and captured Japanese soldiers lay in a row on an open ground.

Long Fei said to Kong Jie, "Brother Kong, didn't you want to avenge our brothers?"

Kong Jie looked at the Japanese soldiers in front of him, but hesitated. It wasn't that he didn't want to kill these sons of bitches with his own hands.

Rather, they were already wounded and captured, and the Eighth Route Army would not allow the killing of prisoners.

"What's wrong, Brother Kong?"

"Ahem, brother, we Eighth Route Army soldiers have discipline..."

Before Kong Jie could continue, Long Fei interrupted him.

"I know your discipline: surrender your weapons and you will not be killed; prisoners of war will be treated well."

Kong Jie gave an awkward smile, indicating his agreement.

Long Fei shook his head and pointed at the Japanese soldiers, speaking loudly.

"These Japanese soldiers were subdued by my men after they were wounded. They did not surrender voluntarily, so strictly speaking, they were not prisoners of war."

"Furthermore, even if they are prisoners, they are still prisoners of my Dragon Flame Legion. We have no rule against killing prisoners."

Even after Long Fei put it this way, Kong Jie still seemed somewhat conflicted.

Because Commander Liu, Political Commissar Deng, and Brigade Commander Chen also came over at this time, and they all stood quietly watching from a short distance behind Long Fei.

Long Fei turned his head to look in the direction Kong Jie was looking, then continued speaking seriously.

"I think, even if the Japanese soldiers surrendered voluntarily and became prisoners, so what? Can't we kill them?"

"These sons of bitches, when they had guns, they committed all sorts of atrocities, burning, killing, looting, and murder. How come they suddenly became saints and good people after laying down their guns and becoming prisoners? They acted like nothing had happened?"

"Brother Kong, I'm giving you a chance to avenge our brothers. They're all watching from heaven!"

Long Fei's words were reasonable and logical, and no one could refute them.

Kong Jie then stopped hesitating, strode up to his bodyguard, and took the broadsword from the man's back.

Then Kong Jie gripped his broadsword tightly and walked step by step toward the Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese soldiers knew their impending doom, and they started shouting and yelling incoherently.

Seeing the gleaming broadsword in Kong Jie's hand, most of the Japanese soldiers were terrified by the fear of death and panicked. Some were even scared to death.

However, there was one Japanese soldier who was a true desperado; he was not afraid of death at all.

The Japanese soldier shouted, "Baka! You Chinese are an inferior race and deserve to be enslaved by my Yamato race!"

"As soldiers of the Empire, we are ready to serve the Sky Locusts at any time."

Kong Jie couldn't understand Japanese, so he turned to Long Fei in confusion and asked.

"Brother, what's that Japanese soldier shouting?"

Long Fei immediately translated it for him.

Enraged, Kong Jie charged straight at the Japanese soldier.

"Still so arrogant even when you're about to die. Let's see if your stubbornness is as strong as my knife."

Kong Jie swung his broadsword and with a "crack," chopped off the Japanese soldier's head.

As soon as he made a move, Kong Jie's eyes turned bloodshot, filled with hatred.

"Click...click...click..."

The twelve Japanese soldiers were successively beheaded by Kong Jie.

The heads of twelve Japanese soldiers rolled to the ground, and Kong Jie's face and body were covered with their dog blood.

Kong Jie forcefully shoved his broadsword into the ground, then wiped the blood from his face before walking up to Long Fei.

"Brother, thank you for giving me the opportunity to avenge our brothers personally."

After thanking him, Kong Jie glanced at Yamamoto Ichiki lying to the side and said to Li Yunlong.

"Li Yunlong, I'm tired of killing, I won't fight you for this Japanese soldier anymore."

Li Yunlong then approached Long Fei with a grin and asked, "Brother, you mentioned execution by cannon fire, what exactly does that mean?"

Long Fei chuckled: "There are two types of execution by artillery. One is to fix the Japanese soldier in place and fire a shell to blow him to ashes. The other is to tie the Japanese soldier to the muzzle of the cannon and shoot him through with a shell."

After Long Fei finished speaking, Li Yunlong took off his military cap, scratched his head, and began to struggle with his thoughts.

After a long pause, Li Yunlong finally made a decision.

"Bro, I think the second one is more interesting."

"Alright, if Brother Yunlong likes this, then I will definitely make it for you."

After saying that, Long Fei excused himself to relieve himself and went to a secluded spot, where he quickly deployed a Wild Bee self-propelled artillery piece.

Upon returning, Long Fei pretended to give Xie Qiang orders.

"Commander Xie, didn't you hear what my brother Yunlong said? Go and bring the cannons over here quickly."

Xie Qiang understood immediately and quickly played along, saying, "Yes, I'll go right away."

Immediately, Xie Qiang called two team members to come with him.

A few minutes later, Xie Qiang and his men drove up in their Wild Bee self-propelled artillery.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the Wild Bee self-propelled artillery.

"Brother, what kind of cannon is this? The barrel is so thick, yet it can drive around like a Japanese tank."

Long Fei then joked, "Brother Yunlong, this cannon is much more powerful than the Italian cannon. It was produced in Hansin and is called the Wild Bee Self-Propelled Cannon. It has a caliber of 150mm, while the Italian cannon only has a caliber of 75mm."

In fact, what they called the Italian cannon in "Bright Sword" was actually a French M1897 field gun with a caliber of 75 mm.

This artillery piece, also known as the Schneider 75mm field gun, was one of the world's earliest artillery pieces with a flexible carriage and was widely used in World War I. Although it is referred to as the "Italian gun" in the show, it was not made in Italy but was a French product.

"My God, hahaha, such a big shell, if it hits the Japanese soldier's body, it'll be enough to give them a hard time."

"These two brothers, please help me tie the Japanese soldier to the front of the cannon."

Li Yunlong appeared extremely excited, climbing onto the Wild Bee self-propelled howitzer, touching and feeling around, and finally giving orders to the two special forces soldiers guarding Yamamoto Ichiki.

When the two team members saw Long Fei nod to them, they quickly dragged Yamamoto Ichiki up, then aligned his chest with the gun barrel outlet and secured him tightly.
