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

Fushimi-no-miya Hirokane had anticipated this question, so he had already prepared his response.

"Your Majesty, we occupied the three northeastern provinces many years ago. This place can serve as our supply base for food and minerals."

"In addition, we have occupied the coastal provinces of China, cutting off their channels for obtaining foreign aid from the sea."

"Therefore, I believe that on the current battlefield in China, we do not need to launch a full-scale attack. We only need to hold our current territory."

"Once we occupy Annam and Jade Kingdom, we can cut off China's Burma Road and block its last foreign aid supply line."

"By then, we will not only be able to occupy large swathes of Southeast Asia, but also control the strategic lifeline of the United States."

"Then we will concentrate our forces to encircle China from the east, south, and west."

After listening, Tenko deeply agreed with Fushimi-no-miya Hirokuni's insights.

However, before he could express his opinion, the army's high-ranking officials obviously couldn't sit still and began to refute him.

Army Minister Sugiyama Gen was the first to object, saying, "Your Highness, Southeast Asia is a vast region. Even if we successfully conquer it, we will still need to send a large number of troops to garrison it, and our troop strength will still be very tight."

Tada Shunya chimed in, "That's right. There's another crucial issue: most of Southeast Asia is currently a colony of countries like the Lion Kingdom and the Gallic Kingdom."

“If we launch an attack, these countries will definitely go to war with us. Do we really want to declare war on these countries?”

Army Chief of Staff Kiyoshi Imai also expressed his opinion: "With our domestic manpower and resources, we simply cannot support such a massive operation plan. I think we must be cautious."

Prince Jae-in, as the Chief of the Army General Staff, did not have a very clear stance.

"I believe the operational plan proposed by the Navy Department has some merit. If His Majesty Tianhuang approves it, I have no objection."

Following that, Sugiyama Gen, Tada Shun, and Imai Kiyoshi continued to raise various objections.

Fushimi-no-miya Hirokane couldn't stand listening to this any longer, so he mercilessly slapped him in the face on the spot.

"Stop talking! Do you even have the nerve to object? You just lost 300,000 of the Empire's elite troops in Shanxi."

"If we were to hand over these 300,000 elite troops to our navy, I guarantee we could wipe out Southeast Asia."

Fushimi-no-miya Hiroyasu's words immediately made these people lower their heads in shame.

This unprecedented defeat truly made them unable to hold their heads high and lose their confidence in speaking.

In the end, Tianhuang decided to adopt the operational plan proposed by the Navy.

This is because it can not only alleviate the current predicament Japan is facing in China, but also ultimately remove the United States' checks and balances on Japan.

What Long Fei didn't expect was that after they traveled through time, the time when Japan launched its large-scale invasion of Southeast Asia was brought forward by a full three years.

As for the National Government, upon learning of the unprecedented victory achieved by the Dragon Flame Legion in Shanxi, they should have felt excited and happy, but instead, they were filled with worry.

A large group of high-ranking government officials were summoned to a meeting, JZC said angrily.

“NXP, you have over a million troops, yet you are suffering repeated defeats in the face of the Japanese invasion.”

"But the Dragon Flame Legion, in less than a year, had already eliminated more than 600,000 Japanese soldiers and puppet troops."

"If things continue like this, it won't be long before they drive the Japanese out of China, and then we'll probably be powerless to resist them."

"You must come up with a solution today, or no one is allowed to leave."

You're kidding, expecting everyone here to come up with a solution immediately? That's impossible.

The attendees looked at each other, all sighing inwardly.

It has to be said that the acting director is quick-witted. JZC only asked everyone to offer suggestions, and as for the final result, only heaven knows.

Therefore, the acting director took the initiative to speak up: "Principal, I have a suggestion..."

JZC harbored resentment towards this student because his several suggestions all ended in failure.

But now that he was desperate, he decided to listen to what was said first, so he spoke in a gentle tone.

"Yu Nong, please feel free to offer any suggestions you may have."

“Principal, the students believe that since Long Fei has already led his troops into Shanxi, we might as well sit back and watch the tigers fight.”

JZC raised an eyebrow: "You mean..."

The acting director nodded hurriedly and continued, "Shanxi belongs to the Second War Zone, and the commander-in-chief is Commander Yan. He has been in charge of Shanxi for many years. How can he tolerate others snoring beside his bed?"

“I believe that Commander Yan will definitely not sit idly by, after all, he has 200,000 troops under his command, and the Eighth Route Army and some local troops in Sichuan and Shaanxi are also under the command of the Second War Zone.”

The acting director's plan was extremely ruthless.

Not only could it cause Commander Yan's troops to fight the Longyan Legion to the death, but it could also incite conflict between the Longyan Legion, the Eighth Route Army, and various local forces.

In this way, not only can we deal with the Dragon Flame Legion, but we can also weaken the strength of the local warlord Commander Yan, and at the same time deplete the forces of the Eighth Route Army and various local troops.

As for the Central Army, they were simply reaping the benefits without lifting a finger.

JZC's expression improved considerably at this point: "Yu Nong, your plan is a triple win, very good."

Seeing that the principal was very satisfied, the acting director hurriedly added.

“Principal, in order to force Commander Yan to take action, I suggest that the Central Army stationed in Shanxi can impersonate the Longyan Legion and launch a surprise attack on the Jin-Sui Army, the Eighth Route Army, and various local forces.”

Apart from JZC, everyone else present felt that this acting director was indeed a spy chief, ruthless and despicable.

Although everyone secretly scoffed at it, they all outwardly expressed their agreement.

After all, the acting director had relieved everyone from the predicament, preventing them from continuing to feel uneasy and suffer the wrath of the JZC.

Soon, the Nationalist troops in Shanxi received secret telegrams instructing them to prepare for the operation.

Although JZC classified this matter as top secret, Zheng Yaoxian still managed to obtain the information through his special channels and informed Long Fei immediately.

Not long ago, he received a secret telegram from Long Fei, which contained only three words: "Fake Death Plan".

Upon seeing these three words, Zheng Yaoxian burst into laughter, muttering to himself.

"I knew you wouldn't die so easily... Haha, I knew you wouldn't die..."

Of course, Song Xiaoan and Zhao Jianzhi also received Long Fei's secret telegram.

Upon learning that Long Fei was still alive, the two cheered with joy.

Zhao Jianzhi wiped away her tears and said excitedly.

"Sixth Brother understands the Legion Commander best. He told us to stay calm. Sure enough, the Legion Commander faked his death."

Song Xiaoan nodded: "The legion commander ordered us to go to Shanxi secretly, saying he had important tasks to assign. We'll set off immediately tomorrow."

"Okay, it's your decision."

On this day, Long Fei and Xiao Bai Bai had a huge argument.
