Are you a spy? Killing the enemy is too cruel.

Chapter 294 The Dragon Awakens

Chang Qingqing couldn't bear it and said, "Brother Ye, ordinary people are bound to suffer casualties on the battlefield. Wouldn't it be better if our party organization could avoid large casualties as much as possible?"

Ye Feng sighed and said helplessly, "Shanghai is a big city, prosperous and wealthy. The Japanese devils want to rely on this big city to seek great profits and provide them with war funds. They will not allow our armed forces to survive for a long time. The decision-makers of the devils will definitely mobilize a large number of troops and gather firepower to launch rounds of war attacks against us."

His meaning was very clear. If you joined the anti-Japanese armed forces, you must be prepared to deal with countless terrorist attacks from Japanese troops and be mentally prepared for the possibility of death at any time.

Casualties are inevitable.

Nor can it be avoided.

In order to achieve victory in the anti-Japanese struggle, we must not just sit back and do nothing, but must take up arms and not fear life or death.

Ling Wei said, "The newcomers who joined our anti-Japanese armed forces have never been on the battlefield. Some of them may not even know how to shoot a gun. How can they play a role in the face of a group of aggressive Japanese troops?"

Ye Feng was not worried about this. After all, this was not the ancient times. There was no need to practice horse riding and archery, or setting up camps and charging into battle formations. All he had to do was pick up a gun and pull the trigger to kill people.

The new recruits who joined later, through training, were able to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy in less than half a day.

"This anti-Japanese storm, starting from Shanghai, will surely sweep across the country and cause a huge sensation."

Ling Wei asked, "Is there anything our party organization needs to do about the storm of discussion?"

Ye Feng nodded and replied, "While people across the country are enthusiastic about resisting Japan, our party organization should make its voice heard. In this way, more young people with aspirations will join our organization."

Ye Feng did not elaborate on the matter for a simple reason: the decision-makers at the top of the Party organization were much smarter than he was.

As long as the party organization takes advantage of the "anti-Japanese storm" and operates properly, the strength of the base in the northwest will surely continue to grow and usher in a huge wave of development opportunities.

Chang Qingqing also asked, "Brother Ye, you are leading people to fight the devils head-on, what can I do?"

Ye Feng thought for a moment and said, "You continue to move around Shanghai, contact those gangs, chambers of commerce, and bosses, and tell them directly that I, Ye Feng, the super agent, am leading the team to fight the Japanese in the front, and as fellow Chinese, they must also contribute part of their strength."

"Tell them that I need people, guns, ammunition, and medicines. I, Ye Feng, will take as much as they can provide."

Ling Wei did not raise any objections to this, and said, "These complex forces entrenched in Shanghai are very powerful, but they only flatter the Japanese devils and bully and exploit the people. We should let them bleed more and support our anti-Japanese struggle this time."

Chang Qingqing also smiled and said, "You can use your title as a super agent to give them a beating, but they already sent out a lot of people and weapons last time. Will they bow down this time?"

She was right. Of the 3,000-man team that exchanged fire with the Japanese army last night, almost half were from various forces entrenched in Shanghai.

Now most of them are dead or injured, and these forces are still required to contribute manpower and money. Are the other party willing to continue to bow their heads?

Ye Feng said, "Under normal circumstances, these gangs and chambers of commerce might have been hypocritical towards us, but this time, we openly wiped out thousands of Japanese troops and two Japanese army infantry battalions at the port, which was enough to intimidate these gang leaders and chamber of commerce leaders."

The anti-Japanese armed forces, which have suffered heavy losses, are in urgent need of personnel reinforcements and precious medical supplies.

It will not work without support from all forces in Shanghai.

Another point is that Ye Feng still owes a lot of money to the foreigner Campbell, and this money also requires support from all parties.

There is no way, the party organization is poor!

In order to win the war of "Anti-Japanese Storm" in the enemy-occupied area, we have to utilize all available resources.

"If anyone refuses, tell them I will come to their door personally and I will bring a gun."

Ye Feng said this with a smile, but murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Ling Wei said unhappily, "Comrade Ye Feng, pay attention to your image. You are now a member of our underground party. Your words and deeds represent our party organization. Don't learn the ways of the mountain bandits."

Ye Feng shrugged and said lightly, "Don't worry, I always come to your house at night."

After hearing this, all three of them laughed.

After breakfast, Ling Wei and Chang Qingqing went to work. Ye Feng returned to the courtyard, intending to take a nap and rest to get enough rest.

It was already noon when Ye Feng got up and there was still a lot of noise outside.

When you go out and take a look, even the auntie who is gluing matchboxes together, the grandfather who is sweeping the floor, the uncle who is pulling clothes, the auntie who is buying vegetables, etc., everyone has a smile on their face, and they are talking about the Japanese devils, the port docks, the anti-Japanese armed forces, the gunfire, the failure of the Japanese army, the victory of China, etc.

There were even quite a few children who were holding wooden guns and playing games against the Japanese devils.

These scenes would be unimaginable on ordinary days.

Shanghai of the past.

Although business seems to be booming on the surface, the people living in the city are lifeless and silent.

Many people took to the streets and dared not even speak a word, for fear of being heard by the secret agents and arrested and interrogated.

Even if you didn't speak, the Japanese military police would dislike you and would humiliate and curse you at the very least, or even shoot and kill you at the worst. So the entire city was shrouded in the pressure of the Japanese army's high-pressure policy, making every citizen like a slave who was willing to suffer and bow his head. They had no dignity of their own, and even their lives were threatened at any time.

What now?

There was a smile on everyone's face, light in their eyes, and new hope for life.

People are brave enough to speak out and discuss the national situation.

This is the beginning of a national awakening. As the "anti-Japanese storm" continues to sweep across the country, Ye Feng believes that in the days to come, the people of China will break away from the numb and desperate mood and awaken the national spirit. At that time, everyone will dare to fight against the invaders.

Only then will this nation have hope!

Shenzhou will not perish!

It is no longer an empty talk!

"Once the Eastern Dragon awakens, it will be the end of you evil invaders."

Ye Feng muttered to himself and had a simple meal. Before he went out, Liang Long, who was in charge of the first action team, came back.

Once inside.

Liang Long, with a serious expression, spoke anxiously:

"Brother Ye, things are not going well. The Japanese are gathering troops from outside Shanghai this time. It is not just a single army regiment. According to the information I have, there will be a reinforced army infantry regiment of the Japanese, which will set out from the southwest and head to Shanghai."

Ye Feng frowned. A reinforced infantry company?

generally.

The regiment is the largest tactical unit of a single branch of the Japanese Army, equivalent to a "regiment", or more precisely, equivalent to a reinforced regiment of other countries.

A standard infantry regiment consists of approximately 3800 men.

下辖3个步兵大队、1个炮兵中队、1个反坦克炮中队、1个通信中队和1个辎重中队，配备108挺轻机枪、144具掷弹筒、24挺重机枪、12门70毫米步兵炮、6门37毫米反坦克炮。

This kind of configuration is still extremely terrifying in today's era, both in terms of firepower and manpower.

Moreover, in order to carry out important tasks, the Japanese infantry regiments would be equipped with additional 75mm or even 100mm heavy artillery to provide more powerful firepower.

Facing a Japanese army regiment, Ye Feng already felt tremendous pressure.

If it was still a Japanese regiment with strengthened troops, it would definitely be more difficult to deal with.

Liang Long continued:

"The original 3800-man Japanese infantry regiment was strengthened to 5200 men, with three more infantry squadrons added. Various mortars, machine guns and other weapons were also added to varying degrees, carrying more weapons and firepower."

Ye Feng was surprised and said, "Three more infantry squadrons? This regiment is equivalent to a brigade of the Japanese devils, right?"
