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

Seeing that Long Fei was about to leave, Chu Yunfei hurriedly called out to him.

"Commander of the Dragon Legion, can you tell me what's flying in the sky?"

Long Fei stopped and replied with a smile, "Actually, it's basically correct for you to call it an iron dragonfly. To be precise, it's called a helicopter, and it was developed based on the principles of the bamboo dragonfly."

"Furthermore, the tanks surrounding the riverside village are the latest models; any Japanese tank would be no match for them."

At this point, Long Fei shook his head and sighed deeply.

"General Chu, you do have the integrity and courage of a soldier, but you followed the wrong person and chose the wrong side. What a pity."

"If you are willing to join my Dragon Flame Legion, you will definitely achieve great things in the future. Think about it yourself."

After saying that, Long Fei turned around and slammed the door shut as he left.

At this moment, the monk had already arrived in the courtyard. When he saw Long Fei come out, he hurriedly went to greet him.

"Commander, are you alright?"

Do I look like something's wrong to you?

"Hehe, it's good that you're alright. The machine gun on the Iron Dragonfly is too powerful. Just now, the Jin-Sui Army was hiding behind the wall and firing at us. I returned fire with the machine gun, and the machine gun bullets even knocked down the wall."

Long Fei patted the monk on the shoulder: "What are these mud walls and brick walls? They could even shoot through the Japanese tanks."

"Really? Then I'll definitely try it sometime."

"All you do all day is play around, don't you want to be my bodyguard anymore?"

"Of course I'll do it, but I have to be allowed to enjoy it occasionally, right?"

Long Fei doted on the monk, after all, when he watched the TV series "Bright Sword", his favorite characters were the monk and Li Yunlong.

Long Fei then ordered everyone to return. One hundred helicopters landed in turn, loaded the special forces members, and took off.

As for the brigade that Commander Yan brought, it has already surrendered completely.

After seeing Long Fei leave the village, Xie Qiang stepped forward to ask for instructions.

"Commander, the entire brigade of the Jin-Sui Army has surrendered, but their weapons aren't very good. Should we take them with us or return them?"

"What are you talking about? You have a subsystem now, so pack it all up in the system storage room and take it with you. You can exchange it for other weapons and equipment later."

Xie Qiang nodded with a silly grin and said, "Yes, sir."

After Long Fei left, Commander Yan slumped into his chair like a deflated balloon.

After a long while, Commander Yan finally exclaimed, "Wow, this Long Fei is really too formidable. He's not someone we can afford to mess with."

Chu Yunfei had never seen his superior so dejected before, and couldn't help but offer words of comfort.

"Sir, we should plan for the long term and not worry about temporary success or failure."

Commander Yan nodded and ordered, "I'll give you a month to expand your division immediately. From now on, your division will protect me and the Second War Zone Command. Execute the brigade commander of this brigade today, and deduct three months' pay from the entire brigade as punishment."

Upon returning to Taiyuan, Long Fei ordered Xie Qiang to deliver the million silver dollars, along with a large quantity of weapons and ammunition, to Commander Liu.

After Xie Qiang returned from his mission, he told Long Fei some news.

He said that Commander Liu handed over all the banknotes, weapons and ammunition to headquarters for distribution.

After all, his 129th Division had already received too many donations from Long Fei, and he had to take care of the other brother units as well.

Commander Liu also asked Xie Qiang to tell Long Fei that the headquarters leaders were very grateful for Long Fei's help and that they would like to treat Long Fei to a good drink to express their gratitude when they have the chance.

However, the most important news Xie Qiang brought back was that Commander Liu had recently encountered a thorny issue.

That is, the Hebei militia had been clashing with the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi.

Zhang Yinwu, the commander-in-chief of the militia, had always hated the Eighth Route Army. With the connivance and tacit approval of the Nationalist government, he launched a brutal attack on the Eighth Route Army.

For the sake of the overall war effort, the Eighth Route Army maintained a restrained and tolerant attitude, but this only made Zhang Yinwu more arrogant and even more outrageous.

"Commander, this Hebei militia currently has more than 10,000 men, and their headquarters are located in Lingchuan, southern Shanxi. Should we do something about it?"

Long Fei pondered for a moment, looked at the map, and then spoke decisively.

“This Zhang Yinwu is also secretly colluding with the Japanese. He is a complete warlord and traitor. He must be eliminated.”

Before Xie Qiang reported this, he had estimated that Long Fei would make this decision. Now that he heard it from Long Fei's own mouth, he happily agreed.

"Commander, give me this mission, and I promise to bring you his dog's head."

Long Fei shook his head and said, "Don't rush. You have to pass through Changzhi to get to Lingchuan. Southern Shanxi is still in the hands of the Japanese."

"We need to plan how to recover southern Shanxi at the same time as eliminating Zhang Yinwu's militia."

Then Long Fei convened a military meeting with personnel at the division level and above.

The meeting concluded with a resolution to dispatch 150,000 troops three days later, divided into three routes: one to take Changzhi, another to capture Linfen and Yuncheng, and the last to attack Lüliang in western Shanxi.

The current Dragon Flame Legion has 200,000 troops, and the original First to Ninth Armies have all been expanded to 20,000 troops each.

The 73rd Army's 1st Special Operations Division and its reserve force were also expanded to 10,000 men each.

Each army corps is equipped with enough trucks, artillery, tanks, armored vehicles, etc., making it a truly mechanized armored force.

Moreover, Long Fei carried out a complete replacement of the weapons and equipment deployed to the troops.

After all, the legion had used a wide variety of weapons and equipment from various countries.

After the adjustment, all tanks were replaced with domestically produced Type 59 modified tanks, and all armored vehicles were replaced with domestically produced Type 63 tracked armored vehicles.

The jeeps were replaced with domestically produced Mengshi military off-road jeeps, the self-propelled artillery was replaced with domestically produced Type 70 122mm self-propelled howitzers, and the towed howitzers were replaced with Type 66 152mm cannon howitzers.

As for firearms, all armies switched to Type 56 assault rifles and Type 56 semi-automatic pistols, and all pistols were replaced with Type 54 pistols.

The machine guns were replaced with Type 56 light machine guns, and considering the many shortcomings of the Type 67 heavy machine gun, Long Fei directly selected the Type 89 12.7mm heavy machine gun.

In other aspects, the mortars were replaced with domestically produced 82mm mortars, and the anti-tank weapons were replaced with Type 69 rocket launchers.

In terms of air defense missiles, all have been switched to the more advanced and reliable HY-6.

This man-portable anti-aircraft missile was absolutely accurate against aircraft of that era.

However, this is due to the special nature of the 1st Special Operations Division and the reserve force.

The equipment Long Fei provided them with the most advanced firearms previously assigned to the Special Operations Battalion, such as the QBZ-191 and QBZ-192 assault rifles, as well as the QCQ-171 submachine gun and the 201st squad automatic weapon.

The current Dragon Flame Legion, from top to bottom and inside to outside, is undoubtedly a Chinese-made military unit.

Moreover, with their advanced equipment and tactical training, they could easily defeat any enemy of that era.

Long Fei believed he could easily defeat even the most powerful skeleton warriors in the Hans Kingdom.

In addition, the airport has been completed, and Long Fei has temporarily asked Xiao Baibai for two sets of radar, as well as ten J-6 fighters and twenty H-6 bombers.

There is an insurmountable generational gap between jet fighters and propeller aircraft.

Propeller-driven fighter jets have a top speed of only 700 kilometers per hour, while the J-6's speed is twice that.

In other words, this generational gap allowed the J-6 to easily crush all other aircraft of that era.

With enough ammunition and fuel, one could easily take on ten, or even a hundred.
