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

At the critical moment, Chu Yunfei took the initiative to volunteer, expressing his willingness to act as the representative and go to Taiyuan to meet Long Fei.

Commander Yan's anger subsided completely, and he praised and promised.

“Very good, Commander Chu. You are a soldier with courage and spirit. I approve your request to go. If you can bring Long Fei here, no matter what the outcome, I will promote you to division commander.”

Although many people envied Chu Yunfei for this promotion opportunity, everyone also knew that it was extremely difficult and could even be life-threatening.

Therefore, besides envy, most people felt sympathy for Chu Yunfei, and a few secretly laughed to themselves.

The next day, Chu Yunfei took only his adjutant, Captain Sun Ming, and the two rode at full speed to Taiyuan.

Upon arriving outside Taiyuan City, Chu Yunfei couldn't help but gasp when he saw the military bearing of the Dragon Flame Legion and the weapons equipped by its soldiers.

Chu Yunfei has always considered himself a skilled commander, and his 358th Regiment is renowned for both its combat effectiveness and achievements.

Not only were they outstanding in the Jin-Sui Army, but they were also a formidable force among the anti-Japanese war troops nationwide.

But when Chu Yunfei saw the warriors of the Dragon Flame Legion, their uniforms were incredibly handsome, and their weapons were advanced and sophisticated.

Moreover, each person naturally exuded a resolute and confident smile, while their eyes revealed a strong sense of murderous intent.

Such a force possesses astonishing combat power, and Chu Yunfei deeply felt that even his 358th Regiment could not match it.

Upon arriving at the city gate, Sun Ming explained his purpose to the sentry, who immediately reported to the corps command via walkie-talkie.

This surprised Chu Yunfei even more, as the Jin-Sui Army units could only communicate with each other using wired telephones and radios.

He had never even heard of such a wireless phone before, yet the Dragon Flame Legion had already equipped ordinary soldiers at sentry posts with them.

After receiving the report from the sentry, Xu Peng immediately reported it to Long Fei with a smile.

"Commander, Chu Yunfei has arrived."

Upon hearing this, Long Fei nearly dropped his jaw in astonishment.

"Who did you say is here? Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment of the Jin-Sui Army?"

Xu Peng smiled and nodded.

"Oh my god, Chu Yunfei from Bright Sword, my brother Yunlong's Yunfei is here! Hahaha, please come in."

Soon, Chu Yunfei and Sun Ming were brought before Long Fei.

Chu Yunfei was only a colonel after all. When he saw Long Fei, he took the initiative to salute and introduce himself.

"I am Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment of the Jin-Sui Army. I have come to meet Commander Long on behalf of Commander Yan, on his behalf."

After returning the salute, Long Fei smiled and said, "Hello, Commander Chu, I am Long Fei. Please have a seat."

Chu Yunfei had just carefully examined Long Fei and not only felt Long Fei's heroic spirit, but also his powerful aura.

Chu Yunfei couldn't help but admire him in his heart: "Tall, imposing, upright, handsome, confident, he's definitely extraordinary."

After Chu Yunfei sat down, Long Fei took the initiative to ask.

"Commander Chu, may I ask why Commander Yan sent you to see me?"

Chu Yunfei straightened his back and said seriously, "Commander Yan has learned that the Dragon Flame Legion has achieved an unprecedented victory in Shanxi."

"Not only was Taiyuan liberated, but also a large area of ​​eastern Shanxi was liberated."

"Commander Yan and his Jin-Sui Army were greatly encouraged, so they sincerely invited Commander Long to come to Commander Yan's residence to discuss the important matters of the war of resistance in Shanxi Province."

Long Fei glanced at Chu Yunfei and replied calmly, "My Longyan Legion has its own strategic plan for killing the Japanese. We do not need to cooperate with your Jin-Sui Army to fight the enemy."

"Therefore, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Commander Yan's kind offer."

Seeing that Long Fei refused outright, Chu Yunfei hurriedly came up with another reason.

"Commander Long, I think you are wrong. The Japanese are now very powerful and have occupied a large part of our territory."

"We are all in the same group fighting the Japanese invaders, so I think it is absolutely necessary for us to join hands and fight the enemy together."

Long Fei thought for a moment and asked, "Commander Chu, Shanxi is Commander Yan's territory. Now that Taiyuan is occupied by my Longyan Legion, he must be unhappy about it."

Chu Yunfei chuckled dryly: "Shanxi was almost entirely occupied by the Japanese before, and Commander Yan dreamed of liberating it as soon as possible."

"Now that Taiyuan has been liberated by Commander Long's troops, Commander Yan is very happy because he will soon be able to return to Taiyuan and take charge of the anti-Japanese war in Shanxi."

Chu Yunfei's words were very skillful; although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning behind his words was very clear.

Besides emphasizing that Shanxi was under the jurisdiction of Commander Yan, it also subtly suggests that Commander Yan would certainly be unhappy no matter who occupied Shanxi, whether it was the Japanese or the Longyan Legion.

Long Fei sneered and responded sharply.

"Commander Chu, I think you are wrong. The Commander Yan you mentioned is just a warlord. He was able to become the King of Shanxi only because he had troops under his command."

"If having soldiers is enough to dominate a region, then can't my Dragon Flame Legion also become a regional overlord?"

Long Fei's words left Chu Yunfei completely stunned.

"Commander Long, times have changed. The warlord conflicts back then led to the situation you described."

"But didn't they all obey the leadership of the National Government later? Could it be that your Dragon Flame Legion wants to break away from the leadership of the National Government and seize Shanxi?"

Chu Yunfei's words were clearly aimed at putting Long Fei in a difficult position, leaving him speechless.

Unexpectedly, Long Fei nodded and said, "My Longyan Legion is not affiliated with the National Army's combat order, and has nothing to do with the National Government."

"We fight the Japanese not for the Nationalist government, nor for the CCP, but for the 400 million compatriots of China."

Long Fei's resounding rebuttal and clear stance left Chu Yunfei speechless for a moment.

Suddenly, Chu Yunfei had a flash of inspiration: "Commander Long, the entire country of China is now under the leadership of the JZC in the war against Japan."

"This applies to all local troops, the Eighth Route Army, and the New Fourth Army. Are you an exception?"

“That’s right, we are the exception. Let me be clear: the Dragon Flame Legion will never obey the leadership of the National Government and the JZC, because they are not worthy.”

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Seeing that Long Fei's stance was so firm and his attitude so sharp, Chu Yunfei didn't know how to persuade him for a moment.

However, Chu Yunfei was very clear about one thing: Long Fei had to be eliminated because he was definitely a major threat.

After a minute or two of silence, Chu Yunfei composed himself and spoke again.

"Commander Long, how about this, no matter what, I personally think it's necessary for you to meet with Commander Yan."

"If there's anything you want to say, just talk it out face to face. That way, both sides will understand what to do next."

"If I go back and relay this message, I'm afraid Commander Yan will think I'm exaggerating."

Long Fei thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Alright, Commander Chu, please tell me the time and place, and I'll go meet your Commander Yan."

Chu Yunfei was secretly delighted when he saw that Long Fei had agreed. He thought to himself that as long as Long Fei went, he wouldn't be able to stop this mad dragon from going wild.

"At noon the day after tomorrow, in Hebian Village, Wutai County, Commander Yan will host a banquet to welcome Commander Long Tuanjun."

"Okay, I understand. Please tell Commander Yan that I, Long Fei, will definitely keep the appointment on time."
