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

After receiving a definitive answer from Long Fei, the three commanders felt more confident.

Although they were all former members of the National Revolutionary Army, they are now wearing the uniforms of the Dragon Flame People's Army.

Today, their positions are different, their camps are different, and even their nationalities have changed.

Therefore, if the Nationalist army dares to do anything to them, they will not be polite.

After listening to Long Fei's battle plan, Liu Yuqing, deputy commander of the Northeast Army, had a question in his mind.

He felt that Long Fei couldn't possibly make such a basic mistake, but he couldn't say it outright.

After thinking for a long time, Liu Yuqing couldn't help but ask tactfully.

"Commander Long, our Northeast Army is responsible for eliminating the Japanese on the Korean Peninsula, but we don't know exactly how many Japanese troops there are. Do we have any intelligence on this?"

Long Fei didn't mean he overlooked this point, but he believed that an army group of 150,000 men could easily handle 500,000 to 600,000 Japanese soldiers.

Therefore, there was no specific introduction to the Japanese troop strength.

Since Liu Yuqing has brought it up, Long Fei decided to explain it to everyone in detail.

"The reason I ordered you to advance is because I believe that with the current strength of each of your army groups, even a million Japanese soldiers could not stop your offensive."

"However, since this is a battle plan, we should still explain the Japanese military strength and deployment."

After saying that, Long Fei stood up and walked to the map.

"Let me start with the direction of the Korean Peninsula. According to intelligence, the Japanese had previously stationed the 19th Division in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. This division had more than 27,000 troops."

"In addition, five or six hundred thousand Japanese Kwantung Army troops in Jilin and Heilongjiang had previously withdrawn to the Korean Peninsula."

"Afterwards, many divisions were transferred back to the mainland and to support the Southeast Asian battlefield, so the current Japanese forces on the Korean Peninsula are less than 200,000."

"Before your Northeast Area Army crosses the river, the air force will take the lead in bombing the Japanese troops south of the Yalu River to assist you in crossing the river smoothly."

"Next, I will talk about the Japanese troop strength within China."

"Currently, the Japanese have the 35th Division stationed in Henan, the Hata Detachment and the Sakai Detachment stationed in Anhui, the 15th and 17th Divisions stationed in Jiangsu, and the 22nd and 116th Divisions stationed in Zhejiang."

“鬼子在湖北驻扎有第3、第13和第39三个师团，外加独立混成第14和第18两个旅团。”

“在湖南鬼子驻有第33和34两个师团，在江西鬼子驻有第27和第40两个师团，外加独立第7和第十两个旅团。”

"In addition, the Japanese stationed the 18th Division in Guangdong and the 48th Division in Fujian."

"However, many Japanese troops have not been replenished in time after suffering losses in combat, so their current strength is only about 300,000."

"In my opinion, the Northeast Area Army was under the most pressure because they had to fight across the entire Korean Peninsula and deal with the most Japanese soldiers."

"But don't worry, I will send reinforcements in time if necessary."

"Now everyone should feel more confident, right? Are you all confident in completing the task I assigned you?"

All attendees stood up abruptly, saluted Long Fei solemnly, and shouted in unison.

"Make sure to complete the mission."

Long Fei returned the salute and nodded.

"Very good. At six o'clock in the morning three days from now, the three army groups will move out simultaneously. I await your victory report."

"Furthermore, I will be operating with the Southeast Area Army. Last time, the bombing failed to kill that son of a bitch Hata Shunroku. This time, I'm going to personally chop off his dog's head."

"Commander Xie has prepared a delicious lunch and fine wine to send everyone off."

Everyone enjoyed the meal, as it had been a long time since the fighting began, and everyone was feeling quite stifled.

Now that we can kill the Japanese devils again, how could everyone not be excited?

Everyone took turns toasting Long Fei, and Long Fei accepted every toast. The monk thought, "This won't do. We'll get Commander Long drunk."

So, as Long Fei's bodyguard, the monk took the initiative to help him fend off the drinks.

Everyone was bound to give the monk face, and since Long Fei tacitly allowed the monk to drink for him, the toasts became even more enthusiastic.

Even though the monk had a huge capacity for alcohol, he was somewhat overwhelmed by the amount of wine he was given.

At this moment, Chen Huating and Wan Qingfang, holding wine glasses, came to Long Fei together.

Now, the two of them, along with the brothers from Longteng Manor, have all been assigned to the Northeast Army.

Chen Huating has been promoted to lieutenant general and commander, while Wan Qingfang is a major general and division commander.

"Commander Long, let's raise a toast to you."

Long Fei picked up his wine glass with a hearty laugh and said, "Great! It's been a long time since we've seen each other and drunk together. We must down three glasses today!"

Chen Huating nodded hurriedly: "No problem, if Commander Long says three cups, then three cups will do. But before we drink, there's something I want to tell you."

Seeing Chen Huating's flushed face and his hesitation, Long Fei glanced at Wan Qingfang beside him and suddenly had an idea.

"Commander Chen, please speak freely."

"Commander Long, it's like this... I..."

Long Fei punched Chen Huating in the chest.

"Men, stop beating around the bush and get to the point."

“Okay, Commander Long, I think the Japanese devils are finished. Qingfang and I discussed it before, and after we defeat the Japanese devils, she and I will… we will…”

Long Fei shook his head, smiled, and spoke first.

"You're getting married, right? That's a good thing! I wholeheartedly support you. You two are a perfect match, a match made in heaven."

Long Fei's voice was very loud, and everyone around him could hear it clearly, so they all started to jeer.

"Great! There will be wedding candy, wedding wine, and fun in the bridal chamber..."

Chen Huating and Wan Qingfang immediately looked embarrassed, blushing and silently lowering their heads.

Long Fei then patted Chen Huating on the shoulder and said.

"Brother Chen, Sister Qingfang, after we reach the Japanese mainland and force the Japanese devils to surrender, we'll hold your wedding amidst the cherry blossoms covering Mount Undying in Japan. Let's have double happiness."

Chen Huating and Wan Qingfang quickly nodded in unison: "Yes, we'll listen to Commander Long."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Weiguo hurriedly came over.

"Commander Long, how about we add a bonus later?"

Long Fei was incredibly clever and immediately guessed Zhou Weiguo's meaning.

"Could it be that you're also planning to bring Xiao Ya along to the wedding with Brother Chen and the others?"

Zhou Weiguo grinned and nodded.

Unexpectedly, Long Fei shook his head directly: "No, no, your problem is too complicated. Let's talk about it after you've solved it."

Zhou Weiguo was dumbfounded and asked timidly, "Commander Long, what's wrong with me?"

"Chen Yi, what do you plan to do?"

Zhou Weiguo hurriedly explained, "Commander Long, I already made it clear to Chen Yi when we were in Shandong that she and Xiao Ya are now good friends, and she sincerely wishes us happiness."

"really?"

"Really, I wouldn't lie to you."

"In that case, alright then, let's add another surprise, and have a triple celebration."
