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

As the legion commander, Long Fei's proposed ideas were very comprehensive, so none of the attendees expressed any objections.

The Longyan People's Army is now a powerful and well-equipped force, and eliminating the remaining Japanese troops entrenched on Chinese territory is a piece of cake.

Therefore, what everyone is more concerned about is what Longfei's next plan is.

Just as everyone was about to ask questions, Xie Qiang preemptively asked one.

"Legion Commander..."

When Long Fei saw Xie Qiang call him Legion Commander, he quickly raised his hand to stop him.

"By the way, since the Dragon Flame Legion has been renamed the Dragon Flame People's Army, the name should also be adjusted accordingly."

"Let me first announce the new appointment decision: Liu Wei is appointed as the General Political Commissar, Xu Peng as the Deputy Commander-in-Chief, and Gao Hong as the Chief of the General Staff."

"Gao Mingjiu was appointed as the Air Force Commander, Zhou Guangyi as the Deputy Commander, and Ma Xu as the Chief of Staff and Political Commissar."

"Xie Qiang is appointed as Commander and Political Commissar of the Navy, Zhou Weiguo as Deputy Commander, and Sun Haitao as Chief of Staff."

"Song Xiaoan is appointed as the director of the intelligence bureau, and Zhao Jianzhi and Gong Shu are appointed as deputy directors."

"Now I announce the senior leadership of the five army groups: Commander of the Northeast Army Group, Chen Yiding; Deputy Commanders, Liu Yuqing and Song Kentang; Chief of Staff, Bao Dagang; and Political Commissar, Xu Ke."

"Northwest Front Army, Commander Zhu Ci, Deputy Commanders Yi Anhua and Jia Yunshan, Chief of Staff Zhou Zhengqiang, Political Commissar Ren Huazhi."

"Southeast Front Army, Commander Ding Zhipan, Deputy Commander Sun Zhen, Chief of Staff Jiang Yunqing, Political Commissar Li Bin."

"Southwest Front Army, Commander Liu Anqi, Deputy Commanders Zeng Zesheng and Wang Mingzhang, Chief of Staff Pan Shuoduan, Political Commissar Li Hongyu (former political instructor of the 1st Company of the Special Operations Battalion)."

"Central Army, Commander Chen Defa, Deputy Commanders Huang Guanghua and Lü Qi, Chief of Staff Gao Yujie, Political Commissar Luo Jie (former political instructor of the 2nd Company of the Special Operations Battalion)."

"As for the candidates for commanders of the subordinate army groups, army commanders, and division commanders, I have already prepared a list and will announce it later."

"I, Long Fei, am now the Commander-in-Chief of the Longyan People's Army, with the rank of Marshal. You may call me Commander-in-Chief or Marshal Long."

"As for your military ranks, I have also made adjustments. The commanders of the army groups, air force, and navy will be generals, while the deputy commanders, chiefs of staff, and political commissars will be lieutenant generals."

"The army group commander is a general, and the deputy commander, chief of staff, and political commissar are lieutenant generals."

"The commanders, deputy commanders, chiefs of staff, and political commissars of the various armies under the army group are all lieutenant generals."

"The division commander, deputy division commander, chief of staff, and political commissar at the division level all hold the rank of major general."

"In the intelligence bureau, the director's rank is lieutenant general, and the deputy director's rank is major general."

"Does anyone have any different opinions?"

Everyone was promoted, so how could there be any objections? Everyone applauded enthusiastically to show their agreement.

At this moment, Long Fei looked at Xie Qiang and asked, "Commander Xie, I'm sorry to have interrupted you. What did you want to say? Please continue."

Long Fei's appointment of Xie Qiang as the Navy Commander was completely unexpected for Xie Qiang.

He was shocked, but mostly pleased.

"Commander Long, I was just about to ask what our Longyan People's Army's next battle plan is? Now that we have a strong and well-equipped army, we can completely drive the Japanese devils in Central China into the sea to feed the fish."

Xie Qiang's question resonated with everyone, and everyone nodded in agreement.

Long Fei understood everyone's eagerness, but he felt it was a little too early to take action.

There are two things Long Fei must do first. After completing these two tasks, let alone wiping out the Japanese in Central China, Long Fei plans to directly encircle and land on the Japanese mainland.

"I understand everyone's feelings. In fact, I wish we could wipe out all the Japanese devils tomorrow."

"However, I hope everyone will remain calm, because we still have two things to do."

"Commander Long, what about those two things?" Xie Qiang asked anxiously.

"The first thing is the training of the troops. With so many fresh blood joining the team, although everyone is full of enthusiasm to fight the enemy and serve the country, they lack military training."

"Therefore, I believe that troops should undergo at least three months of rigorous training before they can engage in combat."

Everyone agreed with what Long Fei said, so they all nodded in agreement.

"The second thing is that with the rapid expansion of the troops, it is inevitable that there will be a mix of good and bad people. It is possible that there are spies or enemy agents sent by the Nationalist government, Japan, or even the United States and Russia."

"Therefore, we must find a way to conduct a thorough investigation and screening operation. I wonder if everyone is aware of this?"

"An undercover agent... an enemy agent..."

Everyone gasped upon hearing this, because it seemed that everyone had overlooked or failed to take this issue seriously.

Although everyone agrees that the investigation and screening are absolutely necessary, they also know that this is a very difficult task that cannot be completed in a short period of time.

Many people expressed their concerns, saying, "Commander-in-Chief, a thorough investigation and screening is certainly necessary, but it will require a lot of manpower and time."

Long Fei then took out something the size of a cigarette box from his pocket and explained it to everyone.

"Look, this is the latest technology identification equipment I purchased from abroad."

"By using this device to sample each person, all of that person's information can be displayed in a few seconds, and the device will issue an alarm if it detects a problem."

"Is it so powerful?"

Seeing that everyone was skeptical, Long Fei decided to give a demonstration in front of everyone.

However, Long Fei dared not use the special operations battalion as test subjects, because that would expose this shocking secret on the spot.

Long Fei strode up to Chen Defa, picked up the instrument, and aimed it at him.

Soon, all the information about Chen Defa appeared on the instrument's display screen.

Moreover, the instrument did not issue an alarm, which means that Chen Defa passed the investigation and screening.

"Commander Chen, please check if the data displayed by the instrument is accurate."

Chen Defa took the instrument, examined it carefully, and nodded in utter astonishment.

"Commander-in-Chief, it's accurate! What is this thing? How can it be so amazing? It knows all my detailed information."

On Long Fei's journey from Shanghai to Shandong, Xiao Baibai took the initiative to remind him of this matter.

Furthermore, Xiaobaibai also gave Longfei a thousand of these facial recognition devices.

Xiao Baibai said that the War God System has stored the information of all people in the world into this device. Anyone in front of this device is like a transparent person, and no matter what the problem is, there is nowhere to hide.

However, Long Fei couldn't tell everyone the truth, so he could only make it up.

"This is the latest foreign technology product, called a spy detector. I spent a lot of money to buy a hundred of them."

"When you take a piece of equipment back, it won't be long before you can screen and select all the personnel."

"Three months later, Japan and the United States will definitely be fighting fiercely in the Pacific. We will take the opportunity to wipe out all the Japanese devils on Chinese territory and then fight our way to the Japanese homeland."

"I want to make those Japanese devils taste what it's like to be brutally beaten by us on their own soil, and I want to force the Japanese Emperor to surrender voluntarily."
