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

The officers from the riot police searched for a long time but couldn't find the sniper's location on the monk's side, so they had no choice but to report back.

Zeng Qirong was furious. Before setting off, he had assured his superior, Lü Le, that he would safely rescue the hostages and capture all the robbers.

He was given a hard time right from the start and lost face in front of his subordinates.

Zeng Qirong then decided to launch an immediate attack, even though this might put the hostages in danger. In their minds, the gang boss was just a tool for them to make money.

If Zhang San dies today, Li Si will take his place. If Li Si dies too, then Wang Mazi will take his place.

Seeing that the police were preparing to launch a strong attack, the monk immediately shouted.

"We only want to exchange hostages and don't want to hurt you, but if you don't know what's good for you and insist on coming to your deaths, then you can't blame us. Think it over carefully."

After hearing this, the officers from the riot police all looked at Zeng Qirong, awaiting his final decision.

"The robbers are just bluffing. Ignore them and charge in. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy."

The riot police officers had no choice but to bite the bullet and launch a full-scale assault on the warehouse.

When they rushed to within fifty meters of the warehouse, a dense rain of bullets erupted from inside, with countless bullets hitting the assault team not far in front of them.

The assault team members were so frightened that they immediately dropped to the ground.

Upon seeing this from behind, Zeng Qirong picked up a new megaphone and shouted.

"Get up and keep attacking! Anyone who dares to back down will be kicked out of the police force."

At that time, the Japanese had just surrendered, and the economy of Hong Kong was in dire straits.

After the Lion Country took over, it did not take any practical and effective measures to boost the economy, so the lives of the citizens of Hong Kong were extremely difficult.

Although becoming a police officer only brings in a few dollars a month, it provides a lot of illicit income. While it may not make you rich, it's more than enough to support your family.

Therefore, being a police officer is a desirable profession that everyone envies, and no one would not cherish it.

Under Zeng Qirong's threat, the assault team members could only get up tremblingly, raise their pistols, and continue their attack.

Seeing this, the monk could only order, "When you fire your guns, spare their lives. After all, we are all Chinese."

"Yes."

When the assault team reached within ten meters of the warehouse, a barrage of bullets erupted from inside.

Within seconds, all of the more than one hundred police officers who launched the attack were shot and fell to the ground.

However, the gunshot wounds were all on the hands and feet, not in vital areas.

At this point, the monk shouted again: "I told you not to be impulsive, but you wouldn't listen. Send someone to take them to get medical treatment right away, and we promise not to shoot."

Zeng Qirong was so angry that he vomited blood. He also finally realized the situation. He knew that with his two or three hundred assault team members, he was no match for the other side.

Therefore, Zeng Qirong ordered the other assault team members to go up and rescue the people, while reporting to his superior Lü Le and requesting reinforcements.

Upon receiving the report, Lü Le knew he had encountered a tough opponent. He had previously investigated the Qinglong Gang and knew that their backers were likely the Longyan Kingdom and the Longyan People's Army.

Therefore, after a second thought, Lü Le decided to report to Governor Luo Fu and request that the Lion Kingdom's garrison be dispatched.

The Kingdom of Luofu did not want the matter to drag on, and after learning that the other side had a large number of troops and strong firepower, it finally agreed to send the Lion Kingdom's army to resolve the issue.

When the Lion Kingdom accepted the surrender of the Japanese army, it sent a division of troops, including an artillery battalion and five fighter planes.

So the Kingdom of Luofu dialed the phone number of Major General Matt, the commander of the Lion Kingdom's garrison.

Matt readily agreed to the governor's request and ordered a regiment to be deployed.

To reduce unnecessary casualties, Matt also assigned an artillery company to the regiment.

This artillery company was equipped with six 115mm howitzers. In Matt's view, with these six howitzers, not to mention a warehouse, even a large building could be razed to the ground.

More than an hour later, the Lion Country group arrived at the perimeter of the warehouse.

Just as they were setting up their cannons, preparing to bombard the warehouse, several drones suddenly appeared over their artillery positions.

Each of these drones was equipped with a high-explosive bomb, which they then dropped without hesitation onto the six cannons.

In an instant, the six cannons were blown to scrap metal.

That wasn't all. A drone aimed a bomb at the pile of shells and dropped it, detonating more than a hundred shells.

The violent explosion completely destroyed the artillery battery. At least half of the more than one hundred Lion Kingdom soldiers were killed, and the remaining half were also seriously injured.

This sudden, unannounced attack not only stunned the group sent by Matt, but also made Zeng Qirong question his life once again.

Before the Lion Kingdom's army could react, the monk in the warehouse decisively ordered an attack. At the same time, two small teams that had been lying in ambush on the left and right sides of the warehouse also launched an attack from the rear.

At this time, most soldiers in the Lion Kingdom army were still equipped with Lee-Enfield rifles, also known as the British 77 bolt-action rifles.

When they faced the monks, each armed with a powerful submachine gun, they were not only completely suppressed in terms of firepower, but also filled with fear and dread.

With the added precision of the enemy's snipers and mortars, the Lion Country regiment offered almost no resistance and surrendered without resistance.

The monk could show leniency towards the Chinese police officers in Hong Kong, after all, they were all connected by blood and shared the same lineage.

However, the monk would show no mercy or leniency towards the Lion Kingdom's army.

Having followed Long Fei for so long, he had learned a lot from what he saw and heard, and knew how the so-called British Empire had bullied and oppressed China.

Therefore, now that he finally had a chance to teach the other party a lesson, the monk was determined not to let it go.

In less than ten minutes, the monks' three hundred men captured and annihilated the Lion Kingdom's more than one thousand troops, with only seven men suffering minor injuries.

After dealing with the Lion Kingdom army, the monk also ordered that Zeng Qirong and the remaining riot police officers be captured as well.

Xiao Zhi then ordered Zeng Qirong to report immediately that the troops sent by the Lion Kingdom had been completely wiped out, and his assault team had not been spared either.

He was also asked to convey that the fact that the Lion Kingdom's army had been mobilized was a serious matter that required the governor's personal intervention.

The governor of Luofu Kingdom would certainly not agree, because the inherent arrogance of the Lion Kingdom made him disdain to personally intervene.

He also called Matt, demanding that he send all his troops to immediately surround the warehouse and force the release of all hostages and prisoners.
