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

Gao Hong and Xie Qiang heard Long Fei and Xiao Baibai's conversation clearly.

After seeing Long Fei finish checking the system warehouse, Gao Hong asked anxiously.

"Battalion Commander, you're not planning to use napalm to burn the Japanese 102nd Regiment to death, are you?"

Seeing that Gao Hong had guessed his plan, Long Fei nodded directly.

"You guessed it? What do you think?"

Gao Hong hesitated, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, and didn't answer for a long time.

Long Fei asked doubtfully, "Can't you just be straightforward? Say what you have to say, don't waste time."

Gao Hong then looked at Long Fei and gave him a reminder.

"Battalion Commander, napalm bombs are too cruel and cause people to die in great pain. Therefore, in 1980, the United Nations held a meeting in Geneva and, based on humanitarian grounds, adopted the Protocol on the Prohibition and Restriction of the Use of Incendiary Weapons."

"You're now going to use napalm against the Japanese? Doesn't that violate the terms of the protocol?"

Long Fei was aware of the problem Gao Hong had raised, but he still didn't want to change his mind.

"Gao Hong, I'm asking you, are the Japanese devils considered human beings?"

"Of course, the Japanese devils are not human. They invaded our China and committed countless inhuman and horrific atrocities."

After Gao Hong gave a resolute answer, Long Fei continued.

"Humanitarianism is for people. To talk about humanity with those Japanese devils who are not even as good as animals is to be unkind to yourself."

"Besides, it's 1937 now, the 26th year of the Republic of China, which is a long way from 1980."

Gao Hong thought Long Fei's words made sense, so he stopped objecting.

Xie Qiang was getting impatient: "Battalion Commander, tell me quickly what's next?"

Long Fei lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and then revealed his plan.

"To save the 26th Division of the Sichuan Army, we must first deal with the Japanese 102nd Regiment that is surrounding them."

"I plan to use the name of the commander of the 127th Brigade of the Japanese army to say that the brigade headquarters has been attacked and order the 102nd Regiment to immediately return to Shaxi Town for reinforcement."

"At the same time, tell the 102nd Regiment that the task of encircling and annihilating the 26th Division will be carried out by the 66th Regiment."

"In addition, contact the 26th Division and tell them to stay in Shipai Town after the Japanese 102nd Regiment leaves, and wait for us to come."

"Finally, we used the Jim Sikashi rewarded by the system to quickly reach Shipai Town, and then ordered the 66th Regiment of the Japanese army to surround Shipai Town."

"After arriving at Shipai Town, we will place the napalm bombs, bring out the 26th Division, and then wait for the arrival of the Japanese 66th Regiment."

After Long Fei finished speaking, Xie Qiang was filled with excitement and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Damn, Battalion Commander, are you going to use napalm to wipe out two Japanese regiments?"

Long Fei chuckled: "Otherwise, why would I ask the system for ten tons of napalm bombs? I just wanted to set off a double blast."

"Hehe, good, good, there's going to be a good show." Xie Qiang rubbed his hands together, his face full of excitement.

After listening to Long Fei's plan, Gao Hong did not find any flaws in it and immediately expressed his approval.

Long Fei then took Xie Qiang outside the command post, retrieved five napalm bombs from the system warehouse, and then gave the order.

"Xie Qiang, the system has awarded you ten napalm bombs, each weighing one ton, all individually loaded onto transport racks."

"You immediately take the soldiers and place them around here. Then build a mound of Japanese corpses outside the brigade headquarters. Make the Japanese brigade kneel in front of the mound."

"Yes, Battalion Commander, just you wait and see."

Xie Qiang accepted the order and turned to leave.

Long Fei then ordered Gao Hong: "Gao Hong, the Japanese have radios and codebooks. You should immediately arrange for the radio operator to send a message to the Japanese 102nd Regiment, and then contact the 26th Division to inquire when the other squads will arrive in Shaxi Town."

After receiving a telegram from the brigade commander in the middle of the night, the 102nd Regiment of the Japanese army learned that the brigade headquarters had been attacked, and that the brigade commander was only accompanied by a battalion of guards.

He immediately replied, expressing his firm commitment to carrying out the brigade commander's orders and leading the 102nd Regiment back to provide reinforcements.

Then, Chiba Taro woke up all the sleeping Japanese soldiers and hurriedly marched towards Shaxi Town.

As for the other squads, they all marched at night, with the closest taking about half an hour to arrive and the furthest only an hour.

However, a problem arose when contacting the 26th Division. The other side called back to ask Long Fei about the unit number and why he was in Shaxi Town.

It was clear that the 26th Division did not believe the telegram sent by Long Fei.

Liu Yuqing, commander of the 26th Division, believed that all the Nationalist troops had already withdrawn, and it was highly suspicious that a friendly force would suddenly appear to rescue them.

"Battalion Commander, what should we do? The 26th Division of the Sichuan Army clearly doesn't believe that there are still troops behind enemy lines, and we still have to go and rescue them."

Long Fei pondered for a moment, then suddenly came up with a solution.

"Gao Hong, you should immediately contact the 37th Brigade and the 261st Brigade, explain the situation, and ask Chen Defa and Chen Yiding to call the 26th Division to provide evidence."

Long Fei didn't have time to explain things slowly to the 26th Division, so he could only use this quick and effective method to prove himself and gain the 26th Division's trust.

Around 3 a.m., Xie Qiang and his team had already piled up more than a thousand Japanese soldiers' corpses into a mound of skulls.

Xie Qiang used a thick tree branch to insert into the ground, then slipped it through the back of Akiyama Saburo's military uniform, forcing him to kneel in front of the Jingguan (a mound of corpses) with the branch as support.

Long Fei walked over, took a look, and nodded in satisfaction.

Xie Qiang pointed to the pile of Japanese weapons and ammunition on one side and asked, "Battalion Commander, do you want these Japanese weapons?"

Although Long Fei looked down on the Japanese weapons, he decided to put them all in the system's storage room since there was still a lot of space there.

Long Fei thought that these weapons and equipment would definitely not be useful to the special operations battalion, but they would be good for many other units and could be given as gifts later.

By this time, all the squads had regrouped, and everyone knew Long Fei's next battle plan.

Although they were all a little tired, they all looked very energetic because of their excitement.

After receiving calls from Chen Defa and Chen Yiding, Liu Yuqing, the commander of the 26th Division, no longer had any doubts and decided to follow Long Fei's instructions.

Everything was ready; all that was left was for the Japanese 102nd Regiment to walk right into their trap.

The napalm bomb is equipped with a remote detonator, which can be remotely controlled at a distance of about one kilometer in a straight line.

Therefore, after Long Fei arranged for five detonators, he instructed everyone to retreat 500 meters to the southeast.

Here, Long Fei found a high point to use as an observation post, from which he could see the Japanese brigade command post and the tents set up by the guards.

Around 5 a.m., Chiba Taro led the 102nd Regiment to Shaxi Town in a hurry.
