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

The two entered the house, and Long Fei gestured for Chu Yunfei to sit down and talk slowly.

But now Chu Yunfei couldn't sit still.

“Commander Dragon, I’ve been thinking about what you said seriously these past two days, and I’ve also noticed many things that I hadn’t paid attention to before.”

“I think you’re right, so my decision is to join the Dragon Flame Legion and start a business with you.”

Long Fei extended his hand and said with emotion, "It's rare indeed, General Chu is so insightful and righteous. Congratulations on making a wise decision that you will be proud of for the rest of your life. On behalf of the Dragon Flame Legion, I sincerely welcome you to join us."

"Wait, Commander of the Dragon Legion, I'm not the only one joining. After my 358th Regiment was expanded into a division, it now has seven or eight thousand men. I want to bring them with me to join the Dragon Flame Legion."

"Oh, that's great, but I have to say something upfront: for now, I can only make you a regimental commander, and your division will be temporarily organized as a regiment."

"After you have undergone systematic training, you will become a division commander again, and the troops will be restored to the division level."

Chu Yunfei had already anticipated this, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

"No problem. Since you're truly committed to joining, you'll follow all arrangements. So, when will I bring my team over?"

Long Fei thought for a moment and asked, "Where are your troops currently stationed?"

"Chenjiazhuang, near Wutai County, is located on the north side of the Hutuo River."

"Here's what we'll do. Your troops will remain stationed for now. I'll be advancing into Hebei soon. Your troops are stationed to the east of Shijiazhuang."

"We'll stay in touch, and you'll be on my orders when the time comes."

"Okay, no problem. I'll go back and report to Commander Yan now, and then return to my post."

"Okay, I'll give it to you."

Over the next few days, Commander Yan's Jin-Sui Army was extremely busy.

They took over territories from the Longyan Legion in various parts of Shanxi and then stationed themselves there.

This tacitly coordinated scene, of course, did not escape the eyes of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

After receiving the coded telegram, the acting director hurriedly reported to WYZ.

“WYZ, a strange situation has recently occurred in Shanxi. The Longyan Legion has actually handed over a large area of ​​the liberated territory to Commander Yan’s Jin-Sui Army.”

"Oh... needless to say, it must be that this Yan Laoxi reached a private agreement with the Longyan Legion."

"WYZ is wise, that must be it. Should we take action against the Nationalist troops in Shanxi?"

“Yu Nong, this is not a problem for you to consider. What you need to do is to find out as soon as possible why the Dragon Flame Legion would hand over the territory they worked so hard to conquer, and also find out what secret agreement they reached.”

"Yes, I understand. I'll arrange it right away."

After receiving 40 million silver dollars, Long Fei kept 10 million to distribute as military pay to all the soldiers.

Long Fei entrusted Xie Qiang with the remaining 30 million, and ordered him to send troops to transport it to the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

Upon receiving this timely and substantial sum of money, the Eighth Route Army headquarters immediately sent a telegram of thanks to Long Fei and promptly reported the situation to Yan'an.

After dealing with these matters, Long Fei decided to immediately begin his plan to advance into Hebei.

Long Fei first arrived at the airport to inspect the preparations of the air force units.

Gao Mingjiu and Zhou Guangyi are now the commander and deputy commander of the Longyan Legion Air Force.

At this moment, the two are at the airport personally supervising the pilots as they intensify their training.

Upon seeing Long Fei's Mengshi vehicle, number 0001, arrive, the two hurriedly went to greet it.

After getting out of the car, Long Fei didn't waste any words and asked directly, "How's the training going?"

Gao Mingjiu hurriedly stood at attention and saluted, replying, "Reporting to the Legion Commander, the training cards you provided are amazing. In just one or two days, these rookies who have never even touched a plane before have become proficient at flying one."

Zhou Guangyi hurriedly added, "Commander, these pilots may only have a dozen or so hours of flight time, but their piloting skills are no less than those of the two of us commanders."

At this moment, more than a dozen fighter jets formed three formations and roared over Long Fei's head.

After looking up at him, Long Fei nodded in approval.

"Very good. Keep up the good work and train hard. You have at most two days before you have to fight."

Gao Mingjiu and Zhou Guangyi had previously flown old-fashioned propeller planes.

Therefore, they don't know much about jet aircraft that have never participated in actual combat.

However, they knew that these planes were much faster than propeller planes and could easily crush the Japanese planes.

However, based on their understanding, they did not know that these planes could have a super advantage over the Japanese planes, capable of taking on ten or even a hundred at a time.

Therefore, both of them raised their concerns with Long Fei.

"Commander, these planes are very advanced, but there are too few of them. The Japanese in Hebei have more than 300 planes, of which nearly 200 are fighters."

"That's right, we only have thirty fighter jets, which is far fewer than the number of Japanese fighter jets."

Long Fei, who was intently gazing at the eagle in the sky, was nearly driven mad with anger after hearing the two men's words.

"Pfft, what did you say? Too few fighter jets? How can you even say that?"

"Let me tell you, even if the Japanese had two hundred fighter jets, or even five hundred, our fighter jets could easily shoot them down."

"Ah...is this really okay?"

Seeing the surprised expressions on their faces, Long Fei didn't want to explain further.

As the saying goes, people can't teach people, but experience can teach people in one go.

Once they pilot this aircraft in a real combat situation, they will naturally understand what crushing power, generational disparity, and massacre mean.

"Can't you guys act like men? What, thirty against two hundred, and you're scared?"

"We're not afraid, we're worried..."

"Stop spouting this bullshit. Let me tell you, soldiers must have guts. When the machine gun shells are all used up, the plane is the last shell. Crash the Japanese planes!"

"I'll be watching your performance in two days. If you mess it up, I'll send you to the kitchen to cook the dishes."

Long Fei's harsh scolding only fueled their fighting spirit and morale.

"Commander, please rest assured, we are the air force of the Dragon Flame Legion, and we will never bring shame to the Dragon Flame Legion. Our air force's oath is: to fight to the death and stain the sky with blood."

These two oaths fully express the soldiers' determination, courage, and fighting spirit.

Long Fei was deeply moved upon hearing this and immediately saluted the two men solemnly.

"Well said. On behalf of the Dragon Flame Legion and 400 million compatriots of China, I salute you."
