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

When Chen Yiding saw the Japanese soldiers raise a white flag and surrender, he hurriedly reported to Long Fei.

"Commander, the Japanese have surrendered with a white flag. It seems your strategy of combining force and diplomacy is very effective."

"Okay, be careful, it might be a trap. I'll be right there."

Long Fei put down the walkie-talkie, called Xie Qiang to come with him, then walked out of the temporary command post and got into the Willys Jeep.

Xie Qiang stepped on the gas and sped forward.

At this moment, the Japanese soldiers had already removed the obstacles blocking the city gate and walked out with their hands raised.

Following behind the Japanese soldiers and puppet troops were more than 10,000 civilians from the city who were being held hostage.

While driving, Xie Qiang asked, "Commander, are you really going to let the Japanese leave?"

"Um, yeah, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, but I don't like letting these beasts go like this."

Long Fei patted Xie Qiang on the shoulder: "I promised to let them leave, but I didn't promise to spare their lives."

Xie Qiang slammed on the brakes, then suddenly turned his head: "Hahaha, Legion Commander, you're so cunning!"

Long Fei looked ahead and said coldly.

“Even the most heinous murderers who surrender to the police will ultimately face the death penalty.”

"Moreover, these inhuman beasts, if they surrender, my greatest mercy is to let them die a quick death."

Xie Qiang drove the car directly to the surrendered Japanese troops.

Chen Yiding was already standing in front of Katayama Riichiro when he saw Long Fei arrive and immediately went to greet him.

"Commander, this little Japanese soldier is Katayama Riichiro, the regimental commander of the 80th Regiment of the 40th Brigade of the 20th Division, who was left behind in Taiyuan."

Long Fei nodded expressionlessly, took a few big strides to Katayama Riichiro, and slapped him twice across the face.

This completely stunned Riichiro Katayama. He covered his burning face and asked in bewilderment.

"Sir, I have already surrendered, why are you still beating and abusing me?"

Katayama Riichiro didn't ask any questions, and Ryufei slapped him twice, but when he did ask, Ryufei kicked him again.

"You have the nerve to ask? Don't you know why I hit you?"

Even after hearing Ryūfū speak Japanese, Katayama Riichirō remained puzzled.

Long Fei pointed at his nose and cursed, "You use civilians as hostages to stop our army's attack. Are you even a soldier? You Japanese pigs are utterly shameless."

Katayama Riichiro then realized that this was the reason why Ryufei hit him.

However, Katayama Riichiro laughed and said, "Sir, you've insulted the wrong person, because this shameless suggestion was made to me by Zhu Youcai, the commander of the Third Division of the puppet army, who is from China."

Katayama Riichiro fully expected that Ryubi would be rendered speechless, or even ashamed, by his words.

But to his surprise, Long Fei slapped him again.

"So what if Zhu Youcai made a suggestion? If you don't agree, who would dare to implement it? So you are still the culprit."

"Of course, I admit that our country of China does have many cowardly, shameless, and spineless people."

"But they cannot represent the majority of our Chinese people. The vast majority of our 400 million compatriots have the integrity to die rather than surrender and the courage to fight to the death."

"Otherwise, how could your boastful claim of destroying China in three months have ultimately become a joke?"

Katayama Riichiro hadn't expected Ryubi to be so eloquent; under his sharp tongue, he was speechless.

"Sir, let's not discuss this topic. I'd like to ask, how are Commander Yoshio Shinotsuka and his army doing?"

Long Fei chuckled and pointed behind him, where thousands of prisoners of war answered.

"Is your brain filled with shit? Can't you see how many prisoners my Dragon Flame Legion has captured? Your army that besieged us has long been wiped out, and your Commander Yoshio Shinotsuka has already committed seppuku. Otherwise, how could we have besieged Taiyuan City?"

Upon hearing this, Riichiro Katayama wore an expression of grief and indignation.

"Sir, it seems you are Long Fei, the commander of the Dragon Flame Legion, right?"

"That's right, I am Long Fei. I promise to let you go. You can leave now, but you can only go east to Hebei."

Katayama Riichiro immediately nodded in agreement. At that moment, he was thinking that he should leave this place first, and when he got to Hebei, he would go back with the troops there to take revenge.

After Long Fei finished speaking, he ignored the Japanese soldiers and walked up to the puppet army prisoners, asking them loudly.

"Who is Commander Zhu Youcai?"

A puppet soldier hurriedly replied, "Sir, our division commander was wounded in the left ear by your attack. After the Japanese decided to surrender, he, his deputy division commander, his adjutant, and his bodyguard disappeared without a trace."

Long Fei then ordered Chen Yiding, "Have the brothers enter the city to search, and at the same time, screen these civilians. We must find this Zhu Youcai."

"Yes, I understand, don't worry."

After giving the order, Long Fei turned around and announced it to the puppet troops.

"You now have two choices: either leave with the Japanese or undergo ten years of labor reform."

Many of the puppet soldiers, upon hearing this, shamelessly asked...

"Sir, can we choose to go home?"

This actually made Long Fei laugh: "Go home? Does that mean I have to give you travel expenses?"

These puppet soldiers, unaware that Long Fei was mocking them, actually laughed and nodded hastily.

"Sir, it would be even better if we could provide travel expenses."

Long Fei suddenly shouted angrily.

"Bullshit! You Chinese people have betrayed your country and joined the enemy, helping the Japanese do all sorts of bad things. Now you want preferential treatment? Is there such a thing as a free lunch?"

“Those of you who want to go home, step forward, or I’ll kill you right now.”

After being thoroughly scolded by Long Fei, the puppet troops were so frightened that they quickly lowered their heads.

At this moment, Xie Qiang shouted loudly, "Are you all blind? Choose for me right now! Those who went with the Japanese, get out of here! Those who stayed for labor reform, assemble over there!"

The more than 3,000 puppet troops were now severely divided.

They were inherently cowardly and afraid of death; even if they were forced to undergo ten years of labor reform, they felt it would be better to kill them.

As a result, only seven or eight hundred puppet soldiers chose labor reform, while the rest remained obstinate and continued to leave with the Japanese.

Long Fei didn't make things difficult for them. He raised his hand and said, "I hope you won't regret your choices today. Now get the hell out of here."

Fearing that Long Fei might change his mind, the puppet troops hurriedly followed the Japanese soldiers eastward.

Xie Qiang walked to Long Fei's side, looked at the backs of the puppet soldiers, and said resentfully.

"These bastards are a disgrace to our China. Even now, they are still stubborn and unrepentant."

Long Fei took out a cigarette, lit it, took two puffs, sneered, and pointed to the sky mockingly.

"Heaven sees all, and people are watching what they do. Heaven gave them a chance to live, but they didn't know how to cherish it. Since they've chosen their own path to death, then let them have their way."
