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

Originally, Long Fei had planned to give a presentation at this meeting about the situation of the Japanese in Shandong and the three northeastern provinces.

However, after thinking about it, Long Fei felt it was a bit too early to talk about it now, so he decided to save it for after the liberation of Hebei before introducing it to everyone.

After the meeting, everyone immediately went back to begin preparations.

Long Fei then made a request to Xiao Bai Bai.

"Little Bai, the Japanese have seven airports and more than 300 planes in Hebei. The twenty bombers you rewarded me with before are enough."

"However, there are only ten fighter jets. As you know, although you rewarded me with J-6Gs, the three cannons only have 225 rounds of ammunition. Even with the two air-to-air missiles on board, it seems that the number is not enough to fight ten against one."

"Human greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. You're only at the Platinum level, so the J-6G is already the best fighter jet at this level as a reward."

"As for the number you mentioned, you expanded your army so much before, and you replaced it all with Chinese-made weapons and equipment from the 1950s and 1960s."

"You now have a full-scale rapid reaction mechanized force. Even if you take it to the European battlefield, your 200,000 mighty troops could easily crush the million-strong Han army."

Seeing that Xiaobaibai was starting to chatter on and on again, Longfei immediately interrupted her.

"I'm talking about airplanes, airplanes, why are you talking so much nonsense with me?"

"I know you're talking about airplanes, but did you understand what I said? You've already exchanged most of your accumulated battle merits for airplanes. The chances of you getting another airplane are slim."

"Gray my foot, Little Whitey, don't push your luck. Just tell me how you want to reward me again, a dozen or twenty Sixth Masters."

After being scolded by Long Fei, Xiao Baibai fell silent.

After a long pause, he said again, "Brother Long, let me tell you the truth. You are now doing whatever you want and have changed a lot of history. The War God System has been having problems lately, and I am constantly patching the loopholes."

"I'm afraid if I reward you with an airplane that exceeds the limit, the system will really crash. Then Little White will become White, and you won't have the God of War system to bless you anymore. Let's see how you can be so smug then."

"Hiss..."

Xiao Baibai spoke very sincerely, and Long Fei gasped in shock, unable to help but feel worried.

At this moment, Xiao Baibai said again, "Brother Long, how about this, you lower your requirements a bit and change Sixth Master to Fifth Master. Anyway, even if it's Fifth Master, he's enough to crush the Japanese devils and make those sons of bitches kneel on the ground and call him master."

Long Fei thought Xiao Baibai's suggestion was good. Although the J-5 was not as good as the J-6, it was still the first generation of jet fighters produced by China.

The fifth-generation fighter jet has two 23mm cannons mounted on the lower left side of its nose, with 80 rounds of ammunition, and a 37mm cannon mounted on the lower right side, with 120 rounds of ammunition.

Two hundred shells are slightly less than the 225 shells of the Sixth Master, but not by much.

Furthermore, the J-5 could carry two 100-250 kg aerial bombs under its wings, and could also undertake ground bombing missions.

"Alright, Fifth Master it is. You're right. Anyway, the Japanese devils will have to kneel down and call you master."

"Since you agree, then I will reward you with twenty J-5 fighter jets, and provide you with ample weapons and fuel."

"Thank you, Little Whitey. I'll take you to Mount Fushimi in Japan to see the snow and cherry blossoms."

"Damn, that's a good suggestion. I'll be waiting, but you'd better keep your word."

"Don't worry, I will keep my word and never go back on my promise."

Within a few days, all the troops had made preparations for departure, and at this time, the Eighth Route Army headquarters also sent a reply to Long Fei.

After consulting with Yan'an, the Eighth Route Army headquarters confirmed that, just as Long Fei had predicted, they did not want to take over these territories in Shanxi.

Firstly, they feared conflict with the Nationalist government, and secondly, they did not want to divide their troops to garrison the area, thus putting themselves in a passive position.

However, the Eighth Route Army was still willing to accept some of the county towns in northwestern Shanxi, because they were now looking to establish a solid and extensive base in these areas.

Although we no longer need to deal with the Japanese, we can prepare in advance to deal with the Nationalist army.

Seeing that the Eighth Route Army had made a decision, Long Fei sent someone to deliver a letter to Commander Yan.

In the letter, Long Fei bluntly told Commander Yan that his Longyan Legion had no intention of stationing itself in Shanxi for an extended period.

Therefore, they were willing to transfer the large areas that had already been liberated to the Jin-Sui Army, and asked Commander Yan to send someone to negotiate.

For Commander Yan, this was absolutely fantastic news.

After much deliberation, Commander Yan finally decided to send Chu Yunfei as the person to negotiate.

Commander Yan immediately telegraphed Chu Yunfei, ordering him to come to his post at once and to host a special banquet in his honor.

It was clear that Commander Yan was in a very good mood; before he could even get down to business with Chu Yunfei, he had already downed half a bottle of Fenjiu.

Commander Yan was completely sober at the moment. He put his hand on Chu Yunfei's shoulder and then solemnly began to talk about the important matter.

"Commander Chu, I have summoned you here because I have an important task for you."

After saying that, Commander Yan handed Long Fei's letter to Chu Yunfei and gestured for him to check it immediately.

After reading it, Chu Yunfei looked at Commander Yan and asked.

"Commander Yan, do you intend to send me to negotiate with the other party?"

Commander Yan laughed heartily and said, "A smart person is a smart person. You understood before I even said anything. So, are you willing to go or not?"

Chu Yunfei hurriedly stood up and said in a serious tone.

"This humble officer is willing to go and share the burden with Commander Yan."

Commander Yan was very satisfied with Chu Yunfei's performance and gestured for him to sit down.

"Commander Chu, sit down and talk slowly. I know that Long Fei will definitely ask for an exorbitant price, so please try your best to lower the price this time."

"I understand. I will do my best to live up to Commander Yan's expectations."

"Okay...okay, I'll toast you and wish you every success."

Chu Yunfei was sent by Commander Yan to negotiate, which did not surprise Long Fei.

After all, Chu Yunfei's performance in the last incident was commendable, and Commander Yan should be quite satisfied with him.

After Chu Yunfei was brought into Long Fei's command post, the two exchanged a few pleasantries and then sat down to discuss business.

"Commander Long, Commander Yan sent me here to find out the price you're offering, so please feel free to speak frankly."

"General Chu is a man of few words, so I will be frank. Our Dragon Flame Legion has recovered the entire Shanxi province, and we have used a large amount of weapons, ammunition, manpower, and resources."

"We are now preparing to expand into other provinces, so we will be transferring most of the land in Shanxi."

Chu Yunfei was still not impressed with Long Fei's argument and immediately offered a subtle rebuttal.

"Commander of the Dragon Legion, China is now under the leadership of the National Government. You also said that the Dragon Flame Legion belongs to China and fights for the Chinese people."

"Then, the areas you recovered from the Japanese should, in principle, be unconditionally returned to the Nationalist government's army for takeover."

"However, Commander Yan considered that, after all, you contributed manpower and effort, and it would be unreasonable to ask you to return it for nothing."

"That's why they sent me here, hoping to reach a consensus and achieve a peaceful handover under conditions acceptable to both sides."

Long Fei had been listening quietly while smoking, but when Chu Yunfei mentioned the peaceful handover, he interrupted with a cold laugh.

"General Chu, something doesn't sit right with what you're saying. Does your Commander Yan think that if negotiations fail, we should resort to force to complete the handover?"

Chu Yunfei gave a dry laugh, neither confirming nor denying.

Long Fei wasn't buying it. He immediately waved his hand and said, "I notified Commander Yan to come and negotiate, not to ask him to come and negotiate. You'd better understand the situation."

“Except for the Taiyuan, Yangquan, and Jinzhong areas, as well as some places in northwestern Shanxi, other areas can be handed over to the Jin-Sui Army.”

"However, the price will definitely not be low, but considering that you're not having an easy time either, I won't ask for an exorbitant price. Fifty million silver dollars, is that a fair price?"

Seeing Long Fei's completely shrewd businessman's face, Chu Yunfei was so angry he laughed.

"Commander Long, fifty million is an astronomical price. Not to mention Commander Yan, I'm afraid even the National Government can't come up with that right now."

Long Fei feigned surprise: "What? You can't even come up with 50 million? Everyone says there are a lot of nouveau riche in Shanxi. Your Commander Yan is the King of Shanxi, and he can't come up with it? Doesn't he know to ask these nouveau riche for donations?"

Chu Yunfei looked at Long Fei, his mind racing as he tried to decipher the true meaning of his words.

To be fair, Long Fei's suggestion is quite good. There are indeed quite a few wealthy locals in Shanxi. If they really forced donations, it wouldn't be difficult to raise 50 million.

However, this would inevitably cause Commander Yan to deeply offend these local tycoons, thus affecting his future governance.
