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

Chu Yunfei had seen the Dragon Flame Legion before and knew that this force was no ordinary unit.

Therefore, it was suggested to Commander Yan that it would be best to set up more sentries ten miles south of Hebian Village to guard against the Dragon Flame Legion taking action against Hebian Village.

Commander Yan readily accepted Chu Yunfei's suggestion and immediately decided to promote him to Major General and Division Commander.

However, Commander Yan requested that Chu Yunfei expand the regiment on the basis of the original 358th Regiment, and he would provide support in terms of weapons and military funds. The regiment would be designated as the New First Division of the Jin-Sui Army.

The night before Long Fei's departure, Xu Peng installed all the subsystems into the helicopter.

Then he led two hundred helicopter pilots and thirteen hundred special forces soldiers.

Together with Xie Qiang and the First Special Operations Division, they set off overnight for Hebian Village.

Xu Peng and Xie Qiang knew that the other side would definitely set up hidden sentries around the riverside village.

Hebian Village is only a little over 100 kilometers away from Taiyuan, so when the troops arrived near Dingxiang by vehicle...

Xu Peng and Xie Qiang ordered everyone to get off the vehicle, and then they took a detour to the right and headed towards Hebian Village.

At around 3 a.m., Xu Peng and Xie Qiang led their troops to a point one kilometer outside the riverside village.

Since the meeting was scheduled for noon, Xu Peng and Xie Qiang discussed it and decided that surrounding the area in advance might expose them to the other side.

So the two decided that the troops would rest on the spot and then quietly surround the riverside village before the meeting began the next day.

At 11:30 a.m. the next day, Long Fei arrived at Hebian Village.

The journey was smooth until we reached a checkpoint of the Jin-Sui Army about five kilometers outside the riverside village.

Upon learning that the man was the commander of the Dragon Flame Legion, who had come to meet their Commander Yan at their invitation, the sentries dared not stop him or search him, and let him pass directly.

But when they arrived at the village by the river, Chu Yunfei was already waiting there.

Seeing Long Fei's convoy slowly approaching, Chu Yunfei hurriedly went forward to greet it.

"Commander of the Dragon Legion, you are indeed a man of your word. Welcome, welcome."

Chu Yunfei was wearing a new military uniform with a general's star on it today, Long Fei noticed and casually teased him.

"Commander Chu is really Commander Yan's favorite. He has been promoted to the rank of general in just two days."

Chu Yunfei certainly couldn't say that he was promoted because he had fulfilled his mission this time.

So they used his previous military achievements as an excuse.

"Since the start of the War of Resistance, I, Chu, have led my troops in numerous bloody battles against the Japanese, killing more than two thousand enemies. It is not surprising that I have been promoted."

Long Fei almost burst out laughing, but he forced himself to suppress the risk of internal injury and immediately clapped.

"Clap clap, impressive, impressive. Killing more than two thousand Japanese soldiers and you can become a general. It seems that it's easy to get by in the Jin-Sui Army."

Long Fei's words were full of mockery and sarcasm, and Chu Yunfei's expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.

Long Fei then turned to Hua Wen and Hua Wu beside him and asked.

"You two brothers are both literate and skilled in martial arts. I'm not very good at math, so you two help me calculate: if I killed six or seven hundred thousand Japanese soldiers, what rank would I, as a lieutenant general, be promoted to?"

Hua Wen and Hua Wu understood perfectly well that Long Fei was trying to humiliate the other party, so the two of them got serious and started counting on their fingers.

Soon, Hua Wen looked up and replied, "Reporting to the Legion Commander, based on our precise calculations, you should be promoted to Seven-Star Grand Marshal."

Long Fei was already holding back, but Hua Wen's words almost made him burst out laughing.

Long Fei kicked Hua Wen in the butt: "Did your math teacher teach you, you PE teacher? Seven Star Marshal? Am I the Big Dipper or a ladybug?"

Hua Wen feigned grievance and rubbed his buttocks, then corrected, "Commander, I miscalculated, okay? The correct answer should be Grand Marshal of Seventy Stars."

As a result, Long Fei kicked him on the other side of his buttocks again.

"Seventy stars? You son of a bitch, seventy stars? Did a donkey kick your brain, or did it get stuck in a door, or did it get waterlogged? Do you think you can fit seventy stars on your epaulets and collar insignia?"

Hua Wen knew that Long Fei was deliberately acting, so he quickly played along.

"Commander, can we simplify it? Let's just make one star and embroider the number seventy next to it. What do you think?"

"Well, that's pretty much it."

Chu Yunfei stood aside watching the two perform, his face extremely embarrassed.

It was obvious that the other party was mocking him in public.

Chu Yunfei was no saint either. He quickly interrupted, "Commander Long, Commander Yan is already waiting inside. Please come in with me."

Long Fei casually raised his hand and waved, "Alright, I'll go pay my respects to your Commander Yan."

After Long Fei lifted his leg, Gan Honglie and Xin Jiang hurriedly ordered the guard battalion to follow closely.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yunfei raised his hand to stop him.

"Commander Long, I'm sorry, your guards cannot enter the village; they can only wait outside."

"Don't worry, we will take full responsibility for your safety, so please leave your service weapon here as well."

Long Fei stared coldly at Chu Yunfei: "Hmph, Commander Yan, as the commander of the Second War Zone, is he really so afraid of death? He invited me to a banquet, but he actually wants to disarm me."

Chu Yunfei hurriedly explained, "Commander Long misunderstood. It wasn't about surrendering our weapons; it was for everyone's safety."

"Bullshit. As a soldier, a gun is as important as life. Besides, I'm always the one who disarms the enemy. Forget it, it seems Commander Yan didn't really want to invite me to dinner. I might as well skip this meal."

After saying that, Long Fei turned and left.

This left Chu Yunfei dumbfounded. He had finally managed to lure Long Fei here, and if he left now, all his efforts would be in vain.

The decision to surrender the weapons was made on Chu Yunfei's own initiative, and Commander Yan had considered it beforehand.

However, Commander Yan worried that doing so would not only alert the other party but also humiliate them, so he ultimately abandoned the idea.

However, Long Fei's guards were not allowed to enter the village; Commander Yan had given Chu Yunfei a direct order.

"Commander Long, please calm down. Alright, you don't need to hand over the gun. However, your guards really can't enter the village. You can only take two men in."

Long Fei had anticipated this, and he didn't intend to insist. The key was that Long Fei wanted to see what Commander Yan was really up to.

"Okay, I can agree to that."

Immediately, Long Fei ordered Gan Honglie and Xin Jiang to remain where they were.

Led by Chu Yunfei, Long Fei brought Hua Wen and Hua Wu to Commander Yan's headquarters.

Commander Yan's command post was set up in a large courtyard in the village. Chu Yunfei gave orders to the guards standing at the gate.

"Report to Commander Yan immediately that the Dragon Flame Legion's commander has arrived."

The guard quickly saluted, turned around, and ran inside.

A short while later, a fat, big-headed man dressed in a general's uniform came out.

"Oh my, Commander Long is so kind to grace us with his presence. I am so sorry for not greeting you sooner."

Faced with the other party's hypocritical performance, Long Fei casually agreed.

"Commander Yan is very busy with military affairs and is in charge of the anti-Japanese war in Shanxi. I am truly flattered that he still took the time to meet with me."

Long Fei's composed and respectful reply made Commander Yan stop and scrutinize him carefully.

"Commander Long has led your troops to victory after victory, achieving unprecedented success. I truly admire you and have long admired you. So no matter how busy I am, I must experience your brilliance."

These words were so disgusting that Long Fei didn't want to listen anymore, so he patted his stomach and said...

"Commander Yan's invitation is so kind of me, I dare not refuse and must keep the appointment on time. Let's not stand on ceremony, I'm hungry too, how about we eat and chat?"

"Ahem, alright, alright, Commander Long, please come in."
