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

Not only was Tokumasa Nobutomi's nascent hope ruthlessly shattered by the shells of the Tiger tank, but his arm was also injured by shrapnel.

Nofuku Tokumasa covered his wound with his other hand, not even bothering to bandage it, and hurriedly asked Fujita Saburo.

"Fujita-kun, what do we do now? Are we both going to perish in this inferno today?"

Seeing many soldiers unable to bear the heat of the fire, Fujita Saburo jumped into the ditch and were swept away. He sneered and actually got up and sat on the ground.

Then he glanced at Tokumasa Nobutomi and said in a desperate tone.

"Nofu-kun, I was careless today. I didn't expect the Chinese army to be so cunning. I should have taken your warning seriously."

Nofuku Tokusho thought to himself, "At this point, what's the point of saying all this useless stuff?"

"Fujita-kun, stop with the useless talk, I'm asking you what to do?"

"What should we do? Fight to the death and be loyal to the Emperor."

After saying that, Fujita Saburo drew his sword with one hand and held the Mauser pistol in the other.

Judging from this posture, Fujita Saburo was prepared to die at any moment.

But Nobuyoshi Tomioka didn't want to die. His wife and three-year-old son were still eagerly waiting for him to come home.

At this time, Chen Defa had already led the officers and soldiers of the 37th Brigade, armed with Garand guns, to completely surround the east and west canals.

Moreover, upon discovering Japanese soldiers jumping into the water, they would not hesitate to open fire.

The Japanese soldiers who had already jumped into the canal were also unable to escape and were shot dead by the troops intercepting them from the south.

At this time, the shouts in Panlong Town grew fainter and fainter, and most of the Japanese soldiers had already been burned alive.

The few Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to survive neither the bombing nor the burning gradually gathered around the regimental commander.

Fujita Saburo's 56th Regiment, plus the remnants of Nofumi Tokumasa's 55th Regiment, totaled more than 5,000 men.

Only three or four hundred survived, many of whom were burned.

Long Fei and Chen Yiding had already led their troops to the opposite side of Fujita Saburo and Nobutomi Tokumasa.

The two sides, separated by a ditch, began firing at each other.

Long Fei's side had rifle grenades, while the Japanese grenade launcher operators were either killed by snipers, blown up, or burned to death.

So, a few minutes later, more than half of the remaining three or four hundred Japanese soldiers were wiped out.

Fujita Saburo completely ignored the attacks from the other side, and just sat there silently, ready to die at any moment.

Nofu Tokusho was so frightened that he lay on the ground, fearing that he would be hit by grenades and bullets.

Suddenly, Long Fei stopped attacking, and a long wooden plank was slapped across the ditch with a "whoosh".

Just as the Japanese soldiers looked up, filled with doubt, the other side began to shout in Japanese.

"Put down your weapons, raise your hands in surrender, and we will spare your lives."

According to Long Fei's plan, all of these Japanese soldiers would be killed without exception.

But Chen Defa suddenly approached him for a discussion: "Brother, although I have two Japanese army flags here, if we can capture a few more prisoners, they will be living witnesses, and the officers will be more convinced when we get back."

Chen Yiding originally wanted to kill these Japanese soldiers to avenge his fallen brothers.

But Chen Defa's words made sense, so he didn't insist and nodded in agreement.

Long Fei glanced at Chen Defa and finally nodded in agreement to his request.

Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the 37th Brigade immediately ceased firing and found a piece of discarded wooden plank nearby, which they placed over the irrigation ditch.

Long Fei then instructed Sun Haitao to shout a message to the Japanese soldiers.

Hearing that surrendering would save one's life, Nofu Tokusho was the first to be tempted. He stood up shakily, raised his hands, and shouted.

"Don't shoot! I am Colonel Noto Tomomasa, commander of the 55th Regiment. I am willing to surrender."

Just then, Fujita Saburo revealed a smug smile, raised his Mauser pistol, and aimed it at Nobutomi Tokumasa's back, ready to fire.

But Longfei's sniper was a step ahead, hitting Fujita Saburo in the wrist with a single shot.

Fujita Saburo screamed in pain as the turtle-shaped box fell to the ground.

There were more than a hundred other Japanese soldiers still alive, and the regimental commander, Mino Tomioka, had already led the way in surrendering.

Therefore, the strong will to survive completely replaced the so-called fighting spirit.

These Japanese soldiers laid down their guns, lined up behind Nobutaka Yoshimasa, and surrendered by walking across the canal on wooden planks.

Surrender certainly requires an attitude of surrender. Nobuyoshi Nobuyoshi bowed ninety degrees to Chen Defa and presented his sword with both hands.

Chen Defa did not reach out to take it, after all, this battle was planned by Long Fei, and his troops were the main force.

The 37th Brigade and the 261st Brigade also provided some support.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the Japanese should pay tribute to Long Fei and surrender.

Seeing that Chen Defa did not take his sword, Ye Fudechang raised his head and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Chen Defa couldn't speak Japanese, so he pointed at Long Fei.

Nofutoku frowned, thinking, "Is this young man higher in rank than these two major generals? Judging from his shoulder insignia, he's at most a colonel. Why are these two major generals so respectful to him?"

Despite the doubts, Nofu Tokusho came to surrender and had no right to ask questions; he could only follow their orders.

So he hid his disdain and walked up to Long Fei.

This time, Noritoshi Masaharu only bowed slightly, unlike how he had done to Chen Defa earlier.

Long Fei knew, of course, that this was the Japanese's contempt, and he certainly wouldn't tolerate it.

He kicked Nobutaka in the stomach, causing him to curl up on the ground in pain.

Because of the excruciating pain, Nofu Tokusho's forehead was covered in beads of sweat the size of soybeans. He held his breath and waited for the pain to subside.

Long Fei picked up the battle sword that Ye Fudechang had dropped on the ground and drew it from its sheath.

Then Long Fei placed his sword against the back of Nofu Tokusho's neck.

"You've all surrendered, and you still dare to look down on people? Now I order you bunch of bastards to kneel down and surrender, or I'll cut off your dog heads."

Long Fei's voice was high-pitched and loud, and his tone carried an undeniable air of authority.

However, some Japanese soldiers were unwilling to accept Long Fei's insulting demand for surrender.

Because in the hearts of the Japanese, they have always looked down on China and its army.

"I will not kneel. You Chinese have no right to do so."

Long Fei looked at the Japanese soldier with a cold smile, then walked up to him with his sword.

"very good……"

Long Fei had barely finished saying "Very good" when he raised his knife and beheaded the Japanese soldier.

The Japanese soldier's dog head rolled "roll" in front of the other Japanese soldiers, frightening them so much that they trembled uncontrollably.

"Anyone else who refuses to kneel, step forward..."

Even though the Japanese were notoriously brutal, after witnessing Long Fei's ruthless side, no one dared to stand up.

But the Japanese soldiers, including Tokumasa Nobutomi, still did not kneel down.

Long Fei was enraged: "Since you won't do as I say, then I won't accept your surrender and I'll kill you all."

After saying that, Long Fei raised his knife and beheaded a Japanese soldier.

At this point, the Japanese soldiers completely gave in and immediately knelt on the ground.

Nofu Tokusho sighed inwardly. In order to save his life and reunite with his wife and son in the future, he decided to do as Long Fei said.
