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

When Guo Qideng saw that the shelling had stopped, he immediately rushed out of the landlord's compound to find out what had happened from his subordinates.

But amidst the smoke and fire, all he saw were gruesome corpses.

Suddenly he noticed a large number of figures approaching from a distance. Sensing something was wrong, he hurriedly returned to the landlord's courtyard and hid in the well again.

A short while later, Liu Yuqing led several soldiers into the landlord's compound.

As a result, Liu Yuqing discovered that there was not only a destroyed radio station, but also the bodies of several junior officers.

Therefore, Liu Yuqing determined that this was the location of the Guoqi Detachment's command post.

"You all disperse immediately and carefully search for the Japanese soldier wearing the rank of Major General. He is Kuniki Tadashi, the commander of the Kuniki Detachment."

"Yes."

Everyone immediately searched the entire landlord's compound, but they couldn't find Guo Qideng's whereabouts.

"Could they be trapped under the rubble of the building?"

Liu Yuqing thought that this was the only possibility, so she ordered the bricks on the surface to be moved.

After digging through the rubble of the collapsed house, they still found nothing.

This result left Liu Yuqing bewildered. He wondered if he had been blown to bits by the shell.

Liu Yuqing lit a cigarette, scratched his head, and felt a little depressed.

As he paced back and forth in the yard, his eyes inadvertently fell upon the well.

"what……"

Liu Yuqing took two big steps to the well and leaned in to look inside, but unfortunately it was pitch black.

"Bring two torches over immediately."

A few minutes later, a soldier came to Liu Yuqing's side carrying two torches.

Liu Yuqing held the torch up to the well and immediately saw a dark figure below.

Liu Yuqing immediately pulled out his gun and shouted into the well, "Get out here, or I'll shoot!"

Guo Qideng didn't expect to be discovered so quickly, and could only respond.

"Don't shoot, don't shoot."

Seeing Guo Qideng crawl out of the well in a disheveled state, Liu Yuqing let out a cold laugh, then grabbed him by the chest and slapped him twice across the face.

"You damn little devil, you really know how to hide."

When Long Fei saw Liu Yuqing, he excitedly brought Guo Qideng to him and praised him.

"Deputy Regiment Commander Liu is amazing; he actually captured the Japanese commander of the Kuniki Detachment alive."

"Hehe, Commander, you don't know, those damn Japanese devils are really smart. They actually hid in the well. No wonder they weren't blown up."

As Liu Yuqing handed Guo Qideng's battle sword to Long Fei, she said...

"Oh……"

Long Fei took the knife and announced to Guo Qideng.

"You little devil, your Guoqi Detachment has been blown to ashes by me. I know you're not happy about it. It's okay, you can continue to dream of conquering Nanjing, but that's for the next life."

Long Fei didn't want to waste time talking nonsense with Guo Qideng, because the explosions from the continuous shelling could theoretically travel 20 to 30 kilometers or even further in the quiet night.

If the surrounding Japanese troops hear the commotion and quickly surround them, Long Fei has no intention of engaging in positional warfare or a blocking battle with the Japanese.

Guo Qideng felt humiliated after being captured alive, because he didn't even have the chance to commit suicide.

Judging from Long Fei's tone, it was clear that he wanted to kill him, which suited his wishes perfectly, so he said arrogantly.

"I am honored to be able to pledge my loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor with my life. I hope that Your Excellency will grant me at least some dignity and allow me to commit seppuku."

Unexpectedly, Long Fei burst into wild laughter after hearing this.

"Hahaha, you slaughtered unarmed civilians, insulted our women, tortured our prisoners of war, and burned down our homes. Did you give them even the most basic dignity?"

"Therefore, I will not give you dignity, because you do not deserve it. I will kill you like a pig and leave your body to rot in the wilderness."

After saying that, Long Fei excitedly drew Guo Qideng's battle sword and slowly raised it.

Zheng Yaoxian, who had been standing next to Long Fei, suddenly leaned close to his ear and reminded him.

"Commander Long, this is the major general commander of the Japanese Kuniqi Detachment. If we send him to Nanjing, the merit will be considerable."

"Most importantly, we might be able to learn more about the Japanese military deployments through him."

Long Fei shook his head and sighed, "Sixth Brother, my Longyan troops kill Japanese devils not for any merit."

"Moreover, I'm afraid that if we send this son of a bitch to Nanjing, he will not only refuse to confess, but given the integrity of the National Government, he will be treated well and fed."

"This……"

Zheng Yaoxian was speechless at Long Fei's eloquent words and stopped talking.

Long Fei had no intention of torturing Guo Qideng, and directly ordered, "Kneel down."

"No... I won't kneel. You inferior Chinese people have no right to make me kneel."

Long Fei's face immediately turned murderous, and he kicked Guo Qideng twice in the back of the knees.

Guo Qideng's body was bound with ropes, and he knelt down with a "thud".

Guo Qideng was about to stubbornly stand up when Long Fei pressed his shoulder down firmly.

Then, Long Fei used Guo Qideng's battle sword to stab into the back of his neck with a "plop," and the tip of the sword pierced out of his throat.

Blood gushed out immediately. Guo Qideng's eyes bulged wide, and his body convulsed in pain. Within two minutes, he collapsed forward, ending his sinful life by kneeling and kowtowing.

Seeing Long Fei's decisive and ruthless actions, Zheng Yaoxian couldn't help but admire him even more.

"Place this Japanese soldier's corpse at the entrance of Xin'an Town, keeping it in this kneeling position, and put up a sign next to it that reads: This is the fate of the invaders."

"Then everyone get on the bus, and we'll leave Xin'an Town and move out immediately."

Long Fei's judgment was quite accurate. After the shelling of Xin'an Town began, the continuous explosions reached the ears of the surrounding Japanese soldiers.

Because Guo Qideng had informed him before setting off that morning that he would be camping in Xin'an Town that day.

Therefore, when the explosion was heard from this direction, the commanders of the other Japanese units judged that the Kuniki Detachment must have encountered the Chinese army, and then a fierce firefight broke out between the two sides.

Other Japanese units also called the Kuniki Detachment to inquire about the situation, but received no response.

Soon, the news reached General Matsui. After a moment's thought, he ordered the two surrounding brigades to change their marching direction and immediately march to Xin'an Town.

In order to reach Xin'an Town as quickly as possible, the brigade commanders of the two Japanese brigades ordered all trucks to be filled with soldiers, tank units, and cavalry to set off first, while the other infantrymen followed on a forced march.

Therefore, less than half an hour after Long Fei led his troops out, the vanguard of the Japanese army arrived at Xin'an Town.

If Long Fei's side delays any longer, they will definitely start fighting with the Japanese.

This is not the kind of battle Long Fei wants to happen.

Since they are special operations forces, they should use special operations tactics and methods to fight the Japanese.

In ordinary battles like this, it's not that special operations battalions can't fight, but that it's unnecessary, because it would inevitably cause some casualties.

When the two brigades of Japanese soldiers gathered at Xin'an Town, they saw Kunihiro, the commander of the Kunihiro Detachment, kneeling in the middle of the road at the town's entrance. The entire town was in ruins, and the bodies of thousands of Kunihiro Detachment soldiers were scattered everywhere.

The Japanese soldiers were all deeply shocked by the scene and hurriedly reported it to General Matsui.

"What?! The entire Kuniki Squad has perished, and Kuniki Teng has also pledged his loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor..."

"No... How is that possible? Even if the Chinese army had fled, and even if they had left some troops, how could they have wiped out the entire Kuniki Detachment in just one or two hours, given their weapons, equipment, and combat capabilities?"

General Matsui simply did not believe it, or rather, he was unwilling to believe it.

Recently, his troops have been attacked one after another, and several regiments have been lost. Today, with the addition of the Guoqi Detachment, the number of troops lost in just the last few days has reached more than 20,000.

"No, we must come up with a solution; we can't let this continue."

To be fair, Admiral Matsui was quite clever; he quickly came up with a solution.
