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

As darkness approached, Long Fei decided to have the kitchen truck work a little longer to provide dinner for all the people.

By the time the people finished eating and left, it was already past 8 p.m.

Long Fei then returned to the Second Division's headquarters.

Chu Yunfei has already cleaned this place up and is using it as Long Fei's command post.

Long Fei and Chu Yunfei discussed matters while eating canned food.

"Commander, Deputy Commander Xie successfully captured Lushun and Dalian before dawn. The Japanese had five warships in Lushun Port, three of which were sunk and two damaged by our air force."

"As per your orders, Deputy Commander Xie, all the Japanese soldiers on the warship have been wiped out without exception."

"Furthermore, the Japanese 2nd Division troops sent to reinforce Shenyang were all surrounded and annihilated."

"Now, except for a few remote areas, most of Liaoning has been liberated by us."

Long Fei was already aware of these battles. Seeing Chu Yunfei talking about them with great interest, he smiled and asked.

"Didn't you already report these battle situations to me this morning? Why are you bringing them up again now?"

Chu Yunfei chuckled: "Commander, I'm just happy. I've fought many battles since I joined the army, but this is the first time I've experienced a one-sided battle like this."

"I had heard that the Dragon Flame Legion was good at fighting, but I didn't expect them to be this good."

Long Fei lit a cigarette, took a couple of leisurely puffs, and then answered calmly.

"Commander Chu, to be honest, the Japanese are not our strongest enemy, so fighting them is no different from cutting melons and vegetables."

"Oh... Legion Commander, then who is our strongest enemy?" Chu Yunfei asked in surprise.

Long Fei exhaled a puff of smoke and slowly said, "The United States, Russia, and the United States of Hans."

Long Fei's answer left Chu Yunfei somewhat bewildered.

"No, Commander, of the three countries you mentioned, only the Rakshasa Kingdom borders us. The other two are far away. How could they possibly be our strongest enemies?"

Long Fei then stood up, took a world map, and spread it out on the table.

Then, pointing to the map, he asked, "Look at this map. The Rakshasa Kingdom has occupied a large part of our territory. Do you think we should take it back?"

Chu Yunfei, being somewhat old-fashioned, couldn't help but reply, "Commander, these territories were ceded by the Qing Dynasty, and Russia certainly wouldn't want to return them to us."

Long Fei shook his head: "The revolutionary leader of the Russian Kingdom once announced that he would abolish all unequal treaties and return the occupied territories to us."

"It's a pity he died young, and his successor, Comrade Stalin, was unwilling to fulfill the promises made by his predecessor."

"Our Dragon Flame Legion has also publicly announced that it will not recognize any treaties signed by the Qing Dynasty."

"So, since the Rakshasa Kingdom is unwilling to return it voluntarily, we can only try to get it back. If that doesn't work, we'll have to fight."

"But the Rakshasa Kingdom has a vast territory and great strategic depth. The country's industrial and military strength should not be underestimated."

"That's why I say he's one of our formidable enemies."

Chu Yunfei listened and nodded in agreement, then asked, "What about the United States and the United States?"

Long Fei further explained, "The United States' political system of separation of powers means that a group of elite talents will lead and rule the country."

"Although the United States was originally a colony of the Lion Country and has only been a nation for a little over a hundred years, the country has developed rapidly and is now an absolute world power."

"Everyone wants to be the leader, and the United States is no exception. The rise and prosperity of our China is not what they want to see, so they will definitely try every means to stop it."

"And this contradiction is irreconcilable and unavoidable, which is why I say the United States is also one of our powerful enemies."

At this moment, Chu Yunfei looked at Long Fei with utmost respect and nodded emphatically.

"Commander, what you say makes a lot of sense. But what about the Hans Kingdom? Why do you also consider it a powerful enemy of ours?"

It's no wonder Chu Yunfei asked this question, because at this moment, the Hans Kingdom has not yet started its global hegemony war.

"It's very simple. Since Xiao Xi came to power, Hans has vigorously developed its economy and strengthened its military."

"I predict that the war machine of the Hans' country is already running at full speed, and soon Europe will be filled with the smoke of war, and the iron hooves of Germany will inevitably trample across the European continent."

Although Long Fei explained in great detail, Chu Yunfei asked a question hesitantly.

"Commander, because of this, you've listed the Hans Kingdom as our formidable enemy. But the reasons don't seem as compelling as the previous two, do they?"

Long Fei smiled and said, "The Hans Kingdom wants to dominate Europe and even the world, which is exactly the same as my goal. Shouldn't we fight it out?"

"Oh, I see. I was wondering..."

Suddenly, Chu Yunfei realized something was wrong: "Wait, Legion Commander, what did you say? You want to dominate the world? Did I hear you right?"

Long Fei glanced at Chu Yunfei and uttered a sentence.

"Remember, the only thing that can defeat a strong country is another strong country, not a weak country; and the only thing that can overthrow a great power is another great power."

"We were too weak back then, which is why we were bullied and plundered by these great powers. If we want to take back what we have lost, we must first become the greatest of the great powers."

"Only when you are strong enough will these great powers not dare to act like thugs towards you, but instead sit down and reason with you."

"Of course, we can choose to reason with them when the time comes. If that doesn't work, then we can resort to thuggery."

Chu Yunfei was completely dumbfounded. Long Fei's theory was too novel for him to digest in a short time.

"Commander, a single conversation with you is worth more than ten years of study. I have learned a great deal."

"You mean you agree with my point of view?"

"Yes, your words, though blunt, were a wake-up call, giving me a sense of sudden enlightenment."

Long Fei then shifted the topic to a thorny issue.

"Take your time to digest what I have to say, and we can discuss it again later. What I want to talk about now is the resettlement of the more than one million Japanese expatriates in the city."

“We will not release them, but we already have hundreds of thousands of prisoners for coal mining and road construction, so we don’t need them at all.”

Chu Yunfei also had a headache when he heard this. If it were more than a million pigs, he could just kill them all and eat them for meat. But these were overseas Chinese, after all. He couldn't just kill them all, could he?

Long Fei does have a solution, but the key question is whether the people will agree with it.

"Commander, why don't we just send them all back to Japan? Otherwise, they'll just stay and cause us trouble, and we'll have to waste food feeding them."

Long Fei immediately shook his head in rejection and said with a sly smile, "Since they've come of their own accord, let them stay."

"Commander, do you have a solution?"

Long Fei asked in a consultative tone, "What do you think about us distributing all the land to the people, and then assigning the Japanese expatriates to each household to help them farm and do other work?"

“We should also promulgate a food management law, stipulating that rice and wheat flour can only be eaten by Chinese people. If Japanese people are found to be stealing or eating it, they will be imprisoned or executed.”

"Of course, there must be a lot of elderly, weak, women and children among the Japanese expatriates. The children are concentrated in school and can only learn Chinese. I also brainwashed them to naturalize from a young age."

"The elderly do the lighter work, while the women do things like washing clothes and cleaning for us ordinary folks."

Chu Yunfei was startled by Long Fei's audacious idea.

"Commander, how did you come up with this idea? I think it's absolutely brilliant. However, the only problem is security. If these Japanese expatriates resist, the local people might not be able to do anything about it."

"That's simple. Put all the men in handcuffs and shackles. Also, tell the Japanese expatriates that if one resists, kill ten; if one escapes, kill a hundred."

Although Chu Yunfei thought Long Fei's idea was not only brilliant but also ruthless, he immediately felt relieved when he thought about how cruelly the Japanese treated their own compatriots.
