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

After receiving the news that Gao Mingjiu and more than 500 pilots had all died heroically, the monk reported to Long Fei with tears in his eyes and a sob in his voice.

"Commander Long... I just... just received news... Commander Gao, Deputy Commander Zhou... and more than 500 pilots... have all heroically sacrificed their lives..."

"Understood... Inquire about the situation of Deputy Commander Zhou of the Navy."

Long Fei felt as if his heart was being torn apart, but he forced himself to suppress his grief and changed the subject.

"Yes." The monk wiped away his tears, responded softly, and immediately turned and left.

On Zhou Weiguo's side, the destroyer's radar had already locked onto more than twenty warships belonging to Yamamoto Masayoshi. With his command, all the ship-to-ship missiles in the vertical launch bays took off.

However, Yamamoto Masayoshi's fleet also locked onto all of Zhou Weiguo's warships at the same time.

"Are these Chinese out of their minds? With only twenty or so warships, they dare to challenge our thousands of warships."

"Since that's the case, let's not hold back and sink all of the Chinese warships."

From high above, one could see two fleets of vastly different strengths facing off, separated by more than 100 kilometers, on the boundless sea.

One side has only twenty-odd warships, while the other side has over a thousand.

Even though Masayoshi Yamamoto has diverted half of his warships to blockade the eastern waters of the Korean Peninsula, there are still more than a thousand warships blockading the western waters.

With over a thousand ships against just over twenty, let alone sinking them with missiles, even a direct collision would have been enough to send Zhou Weiguo's entire force to their doom.

After the radar operator detected that the enemy had launched more than two hundred missiles, he immediately reported to Zhou Weiguo.

"Heh, those little devils think highly of us. They've deployed ten missiles on each of our warships. Brothers, we can't hide today, and I have no intention of hiding anyway."

"I command, full speed ahead, launch a final assault on the enemy ships. We must advance amidst enemy fire, just as the national anthem of China says."

"Today we will all sacrifice ourselves, but our 400 million compatriots will follow one after another and continue to charge against the enemy."

"Yes……"

Everyone around Zhou Weiguo was ready to die and shouted loudly.

At this moment, a former deputy platoon leader of a special operations battalion, now the captain of this destroyer, turned the ship's loudspeaker volume up to the maximum and began playing the Chinese national anthem.

His meaning was clear: to die a heroic death amidst the majestic and stirring strains of the national anthem.

Zhou Weiguo, with Long Fei's approval, was to send Xiao Ya and some other people to the Northeast, but she refused.

Xiao Ya said to Zhou Weiguo, "Weiguo, although I am not a soldier, I am at least a military family member. If you are willing to die for your country, then I will die for love."

In the end, Zhou Weiguo couldn't refuse Xiao Ya and had no choice but to bring her onto the warship as well.

As the national anthem played, Xiao Ya held Zhou Weiguo's hand tightly and spoke emotionally in the final moments of her life.

"Wei Guo, I want to marry you again in my next life."

Zhou Weiguo gritted his teeth and didn't say anything. He hugged Xiao Ya tightly in his arms, and hot tears fell drop by drop onto Xiao Ya's face.

A short while later, the monk returned with heavy steps; he was clearly exhausted.

"Commander Long...Deputy Commander Zhou and the others..."

Tears streamed down the monk's face as he gritted his teeth and forced himself to hold back, refusing to break down in sobs.

Judging from the monk's expression, Long Fei had already guessed the answer. He walked up and put his arm around the monk's shoulder.

“Monk, a man sheds blood, not tears. If we fall behind, we will be beaten. This is an eternal truth. We can die this time, we can lose, but we must not accept our fate, and we must not sit and wait for death.”

The monk wiped away his tears and nodded vigorously: "Yes, Commander Long, I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely fight to the last moment."

Long Fei shook his head: "No, I've assigned you an important mission. You're not allowed to die until the mission is completed."

"Mission? What mission? Commander Long, tell me quickly."

"Don't rush, now is not the time to speak. Go and convey my orders. Now it is time for the army to advance under enemy fire."

After receiving the report from his subordinates, Yamamoto Masayoshi was smug and self-satisfied.

He envisioned that once he eliminated the Dragon Flame People's Army and then defeated the Huaxia Kingdom, he would be able to truly achieve his goal of global domination.

This is an unprecedented and unparalleled feat that will surely make him famous throughout history and leave a lasting legacy.

Surprisingly, lines from the poem "Qinyuanchun: Snow" came to mind for Yamamoto Masayoshi.

Such is the beauty of this land, attracting countless heroes to vie for its favor. Alas, Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han lacked literary talent; Emperor Taizong of Tang and Emperor Taizu of Song were somewhat less eloquent. Genghis Khan, the proud son of heaven, knew only how to bend his bow and shoot eagles. All have passed; to find truly remarkable figures, look to the present.

"Hahaha, Suoga, I am the most outstanding figure of today, my great achievements are unparalleled throughout history, who can rival me?"

Just as Yamamoto Masayoshi was indulging in self-admiration, his subordinates added a supplementary report.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, the Navy and Army have discovered a number of Chinese warplane wreckages, and these wreckages all exhibit a very strange phenomenon."

"What phenomenon is this? Tell me quickly."

"Ha, they reported that the same string of numbers was printed on all the aircraft wreckage they found."

"Oh... what number is it?"

"81992"

"Nani, 81992?"

Yamamoto Masayoshi muttered to himself as he began to ponder, when suddenly he gasped.

"I remember now, 81992 is the serial number of the Chinese fighter jet that collided with another aircraft in the South China Sea back then."

"Hiss... Do all the Chinese Air Force fighter jets have this serial number printed on their fuselages?"

What is their purpose in doing this?

Yamamoto Masayoshi's chief of staff suddenly seemed to realize something and said, "Commander-in-Chief, there is a saying in China: 'Cultivate the righteous spirit of heaven and earth, and emulate the perfect people of the past and present.' Isn't their meaning clear enough?"

"These Chinese pigs are complete idiots. Would they rather come here to die than surrender and run away?"

The chief of staff clearly disagreed with Yamamoto Masayoshi's words: "Commander-in-Chief, the enemy's fighting spirit is so strong, I'm afraid the upcoming land battle will not be so easy. Also, this is a warning telegram we just received from China."

“Nani, if it weren’t for their large population and vast territory, I would have wiped them out first. They are already in dire straits, yet they still dare to send me warnings. It’s utterly ridiculous and absurd.”

Despite his cursing, Yamamoto Masayoshi still took the telegram and read it.

"Hahaha, they actually warned us not to cross the 38th parallel, otherwise they would definitely not sit idly by. Fine, then I'll see what you can do."

Yamamoto Masayoshi is now arrogant and doesn't care about the warning telegram from China at all.

"I order all army units to launch an immediate attack. Within three days, wipe out all areas north of the 38th parallel. I will exterminate the Dragon Flame People's Army."

Little did Yamamoto Masayoshi know that the Great Leader had raised this issue during a meeting of the top leadership of China.

"I don't care how advanced the weapons of this Japanese Empire are or how large its military is. We want the whole world to understand one thing: the Dragon Flame People's Army cannot be bullied and the sons and daughters of China cannot be humiliated."

"We must raise the red flag high and fight the Japanese Empire to the end. They can fight for as long as they want, until we achieve complete victory."
