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

A few days later, the Eastern Fleet returned to Qingdao smoothly. Xu Peng had already received news of Long Fei and his men's triumphant return, so he was already waiting for them in Qingdao.

After the meeting, Xu Peng reported to Long Fei on the recent situation in China.

First, as arranged by Long Fei, the Longyan People's Army has withdrawn from most areas to the three northeastern provinces, and the areas they withdrew from have been handed over to the army in Yan'an for takeover.

However, the ports of Shanghai, Qingdao, and Weihai are still under control. After the Eastern Fleet returns, it will join the Southern Fleet and proceed as planned to Busan on the Korean Peninsula and Vladivostok in the Far East.

However, there was one place that Long Fei ordered the Southwest Front Army to hold: Jiangxi.

China's tungsten reserves account for more than half of the world's total, and Jiangxi Province alone accounts for half of China's tungsten reserves, hence Jiangxi is known as the world's tungsten capital.

Tungsten is an indispensable material for military weapons, especially now that World War II is in full swing, the world's demand for tungsten is enormous.

Long Fei, on the other hand, planned to use Jiangxi's tungsten mines as leverage to engage in a power struggle with countries such as the United States, Russia, and the United Kingdom.

In addition, Xu Peng told Long Fei that now that the Japanese had been wiped out, the Nationalist army was impatient and began to send troops in all directions to seize cities and territory from Yan'an.

Long Fei didn't care too much about this, because in a few years, Yan'an would completely defeat the Nationalist army and achieve final victory.

By then, Yan'an will not only have won prestige and popular support, but will also become the true leader of China.

"Very good, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Xu, I understand all of this. What I'm concerned about now is the matter in Jiangxi. Has the Nationalist government been publicly informed about it?"

"Please rest assured, General Long. I have already informed them that the National Government's attitude is ambiguous. They are definitely unhappy, but they can't do anything about us, so they simply choose not to react."

"In addition, after you took Kangaroo Island and Christmas Island, the Nationalist government troops around Jiangxi Province also withdrew five kilometers."

Long Fei smiled with satisfaction: "They're smart enough to know what's good for them. Xie Qiang, let everyone get a good rest today. We'll set off for Vladivostok early tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Long Fei ordered Xu Peng, "Go and inform Zhu Ci, the commander of the Northwest Army, and tell him to lead his troops to assemble around Ulaanbaatar on horseback early tomorrow morning, and then wait for further orders."

Xu Peng hurriedly nodded in agreement, but couldn't help asking a question.

"Commander Long, I'm just worried about one thing. We've just taken Kangaroo Island and Christmas Island, and now we're going to kill the Rakshasa Kingdom's spearmen. Will this force a large number of countries to unite against us?"

Long Fei scoffed, "Your concerns are not unfounded, but with the support of the War God System, and now that we've reached the Supreme level, with our current strength, we can easily crush the entire world. Why would we be afraid of them uniting together?"

"When we watched the movie Ip Man, didn't we feel very excited and domineering when we saw him take on ten people at once?"

"Furthermore, I would love for these Western powers to unite so that we can settle things in one battle and make them question their existence."

Xie Qiang hurriedly added, "Commander Long, besides beating them until they doubt their existence, we should also beat them until they shit themselves, so they will be infamous for eternity."

Xu Peng immediately stopped talking and burst into laughter at Xie Qiang's words.

Long Fei then asked, "By the way, how's the military expansion going?"

"Commander Long, with our current reputation, there are countless people from all over the country signing up to join the army. We have already screened and reviewed 700,000 to 800,000 people in this period of time, and most of them have no problems."

"Because we are going to retreat to the three northeastern provinces, ambitious young people from all over the country are flocking to the three northeastern provinces after hearing the news. I estimate that in another half month, your goal of expanding the army to three million will be achieved."

"However, it will probably take several more months to train them."

Long Fei thought for a moment. Time was of the essence. In the past, he could train slowly without any problem, but now he planned to deal with the Rakshasa Kingdom and then immediately take action against the Japanese mainland.

So Long Fei immediately summoned Xiao Bai Bai and asked him to give Xu Peng two million training crash cards.

With this training crash course card, the previous three months of training time will be shortened to less than half a month.

"Deputy Commander-in-Chief Xu, you take on the important task of training new recruits first. After dealing with Russia, the next step is the Japanese mainland."

Xu Peng got excited when he heard that they were about to start fighting the Japanese again.

"Commander Long, don't worry. By the time you return victorious from Siberia, I guarantee the new recruits will have finished their training."

The next morning, the Eastern Fleet and the Southern Fleet set off together and rested briefly overnight when they arrived at Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula.

Then Long Fei shouted that Zhou Weiguo led the Southern Fleet to anchor in Busan Port, while he, along with Xie Qiang and the Eastern Fleet, headed straight for Vladivostok.

Zhou Weiguo felt quite disappointed when he saw that Long Fei hadn't taken any of his rice during the attack on the Rakshasa Kingdom.

But when he heard Long Fei tell him to intensify his training on the spot and make all the preparations for attacking the Japanese mainland, his spirits immediately soared again.

Upon arriving in Vladivostok, Long Fei immediately convened a meeting with relevant personnel from the Northeastern and Northwestern Front Armies.

After all, the Russian Empire has deployed a million troops in central and eastern Siberia. Even if they were to slaughter a million pigs, they would still need to plan ahead.

Now all military units are equipped with dedicated passenger and transport aircraft, so a few hours later, all personnel arrived in Vladivostok.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Long Fei led everyone into the conference room.

"This southward operation went very smoothly and successfully achieved the established strategic objectives. In addition, given that the war between Russia and the Hans is currently at a stalemate, I have decided to launch a blitzkrieg against Russia's troops stationed in Eastern and Central Siberia from the Far East."

"However, I want to clarify one point: we don't need to exterminate the Rakshasa army. We just need to make them retreat or surrender."

Chen Yiding and Zhu Ci both didn't quite understand Long Fei's meaning and asked in confusion.

"Commander Long, why should we show them mercy? The Rakshasa Kingdom is not friendly to our China."

Long Fei immediately explained, "My goal is to force the Russian Kingdom to agree to cede or lease all the areas east of the Yenisei River to us, and at the same time return the tens of thousands of Chinese cultural relics that they stole and looted and stored in the Winter Palace."

“I’m worried that if we beat them too badly, it will backfire and make them unwilling to back down, and instead they will fight us to the death.”

"Although we are not afraid of them fighting to the death, I do not want the Russian Kingdom to benefit from the division of its forces."

"Furthermore, I would like to say that our primary objective at present is the Japanese mainland, and I do not want to change our strategic pace."

"Of course, if the Russian Kingdom refuses to submit, then we will march westward and, at worst, defeat the Hans Kingdom along the way while we destroy the Russian Kingdom."

Long Fei spoke casually, but many people were stunned.

Destroying the Rakshasa Kingdom and defeating the Hans Kingdom, isn't that a bit too arrogant?
