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

Long Fei's decision can be described as very gratifying.

The crowd immediately erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers.

"Yes, sir, you are wise."

"That's right, those three beasts deserved to die."

"Thank you, sir, for upholding justice and standing up for us ordinary people."

"Sir, you are truly a reincarnation of Bao Zheng, just, impartial, and fearless of powerful figures."

Long Fei ordered Xie Qiang, "Shoot those three in public. Do it immediately."

When Chen Li and the other two heard that Long Fei really intended to execute them immediately, they trembled with fear, their legs went weak, and they all collapsed to the ground.

"With your cowardly and greedy ways, all you can do is bully ordinary people."

When Xie Qiang saw the three cowards' pathetic appearance, he pointed at them and started cursing angrily.

As Chen Li and the other two saw several team members approaching, their survival instincts compelled them to immediately kneel down before Long Fei, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Spare us, we will never dare again."

Long Fei scoffed at this despicable trick and ignored it.

Seeing that kneeling, kowtowing, and begging for mercy were all useless, Chen Li was in utter despair.

He could only cling to his last shred of hope and carry out his brother-in-law again.

“My brother-in-law is the brigade commander of the 260th Brigade of the 87th Division. Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. If he finds out that you shot me, he will definitely make you pay.”

"Besides, even if someone is to be executed, it needs to be approved. This is an abuse of power, and you will be held accountable."

After hearing this, several team members were unsure and looked up at Long Fei together.

Long Fei said irritably, "What, do I need to give you a second order?"

Seeing that Long Fei was angry, the team members immediately pulled Chen Li and the other two aside.

Then they made them kneel on the ground, and immediately afterward, they raised their Thompson submachine guns and prepared to fire.

"Wait... spare his life..."

The military police captain had just finished making the phone call and came out of the Jiangnan Post Office when he saw Long Fei about to execute the three men.

In a moment of urgency, the military police captain immediately raised his hand and shouted, while running over at the same time.

Upon arriving in front of Long Fei, the military police officer, panting, said, "Brigade Commander Liu said he's coming in person. Let's wait until he gets here before we talk."

"Besides, something as serious as execution should at least go through a trial."

Long Fei countered with a playful tone, "The facts of this case are clear, and its impact is egregious. Does the fact that Brigade Commander Liu came mean that this incident has ceased to have happened?"

"Furthermore, we are in wartime now, and we must punish crimes severely and swiftly in order to serve as a warning and deterrent."

"So, you're afraid of the powerful and wealthy, and you're planning to stop me?"

The military police captain insisted, "No matter what, we must wait for Brigade Commander Liu to arrive before we talk. With me here, I will not allow you to abuse your power."

Long Fei chuckled awkwardly, "Hehe, since that's the case, then I'll have to offend you."

After saying that, Long Fei turned to Xie Qiang and ordered, "Confiscate the guns of the military police and take this military police captain aside. His incessant chatter is giving me a headache."

The military police, after all, numbered a dozen or twenty men, and were all armed, and were preparing to raise their guns in a standoff.

But they were subdued by the soldiers of the company in an instant.

The military police captain was also pulled aside by two soldiers.

Seeing his men all disarmed, the military police captain shook his head helplessly and thought to himself.

"Didn't you check the almanac before you went out today? How did you run into these people? They're completely unreasonable. I wonder how you're going to explain this when Commander Liu arrives."

With a burst of gunfire, Chen Li and his two companions were each hit by a burst of bullets and died on the spot.

"The criminals have now been executed. Please make way, we have urgent military duties to perform."

Seeing that Long Fei had avenged the family so decisively, the people had no reason to continue gathering, so they all quickly retreated to both sides of the road.

"Thank you, sir, for standing up for us ordinary people."

Long Fei thought for a moment, then retrieved fifty silver dollars from the system's inventory and quickly walked up to the couple.

"Stop crying. The three bad guys have been executed. Here's fifty silver dollars. Come with me to the dock, then cross the river and head southwest."

The man wiped away his tears before accepting the money, but asked weakly.

"Sir, why do we have to leave? We don't want to leave our hometown."

Long Fei sighed and patiently explained.

"It's better to leave your hometown than to die. I can't protect you forever. If you don't leave, and the Japanese invade the city, or someone seeks revenge on you, your lives will be in danger."

“You can go to Shuangxi City and use these fifty silver dollars to do some small business. That should be enough to make a living.”

After listening to Long Fei's explanation, the man nodded silently in agreement.

"Then let's go home and pack up."

"Look at how fussy the man is," Long Fei said, emphasizing his words.

"Don't bother packing, just buy whatever you need on the way."

Just as the man helped his wife up and was about to get into Long Fei's truck, a screeching sound of brakes suddenly came.

Long Fei turned his head and saw a black sedan and several military trucks parked not far away.

Then, about a company of Nationalist soldiers jumped off the truck one after another.

The man who stepped out of the black sedan was a major general who looked to be in his thirties, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a full beard.

Beside him was a major, presumably his adjutant.

The major adjutant waved his hand and ordered, "Surround this area."

A company of fully German-equipped Nationalist soldiers suddenly swarmed around, tightly surrounding all the civilians, military police, and Long Fei's company.

At this moment, the major general slowly walked up.

The military police captain guessed that this was Liu Qixiong, the brigade commander of the 260th Brigade of the 87th Division, whom Chen Li had mentioned as his brother-in-law, so he quickly went up to greet him.

"Is Commander Liu correct?"

Liu Qixiong nodded expressionlessly.

The military police captain was dumbfounded; he didn't know what to say next.

Could it be that we should tell Liu Qixiong that his brother-in-law has been executed?

Where is my Battalion Commander Chen?

After scanning the area, Liu Qixiong did not find his brother-in-law, so he asked the military police captain.

The military police captain, sweating profusely, lowered his head and remained silent.

Long Fei, however, pointed to the corpses of Chen Li and the other two and continued speaking.

“Brigade Commander Liu, your brother-in-law, along with two subordinates, broke into a house last night and even sexually assaulted this woman.”

"Therefore, I have executed them on the spot in accordance with the military law of the National Army."

"What? Executed..."

Liu Qixiong slapped his forehead, realizing that despite rushing, he was still too late.

Suddenly, Liu Qixiong asked angrily.

"Who ordered their execution, Commander Tang?"

Liu Qixiong recalled that he had already made a request to the military police captain over the phone.

Therefore, he still believed that it was Commander Tang who gave the order.

Aside from Commander Tang, Liu Qixiong couldn't think of anyone else who would dare to ignore his words; he even dared to kill his brother-in-law.

Long Fei replied righteously, "It was my order."

"What? You Sichuan rat, who gave you the audacity to execute officers of my Central Army's German-equipped division without authorization?"
