Ito Hisaji, the commander of the Japanese military police, learned from the marines’ lesson and decisively ordered the entire unit to march separately. As a result, the speed of his Japanese soldiers' advance was quite touching.

　　These military policemen were not moving faster than ordinary pedestrians. They weren't fools either. Along the way, they had already seen two outposts after they had been ravaged.

　　The fallen Japanese corpses were being carried away, and the mottled bloodstains on the ground recounted their encounters.

　　Shanghai was so lively today. Dai Li’s lurking agents were constantly reporting the latest situation.

　　Although they were unable to provide live on-site images, they were still striving to report to their superiors in words and language: the Special Operations Brigade's planes were circling overhead.

　　Their planes bombed the Japanese garrison headquarters, bombed the Japanese marine positions, and bombed Hongqiao Airport. One piece of news after another left Dai Li stunned.

　　(Discussion group number omitted)

　　"I only asked Lin Fan to help rescue a person from 76," he thought.

　　Dai Li really didn't expect that Lin Fan would make such a big deal out of rescuing one person. It seemed that Lin Fan had really put all his effort into this rescue.

　　This was a friend worth making!

　　Chiang Kai-shek's face was uncertain. On the one hand, he was happy to have found Lin Fan's weakness, but on the other hand, he was worried about Lin Fan's current strength:

　　A force that could suppress the Japanese air superiority was very daunting.

　　If this force belonged to the Western countries, Chiang Kai-shek would only be happy and would have no other thoughts. But this was nominally his subordinate, but in reality...

　　In reality, Lin Fan was still very obedient to orders, but the Special Operations Brigade's battle plans were never reported in advance, so Chiang Kai-shek couldn't experience the joy of sitting in the central command tent and directing battles from afar.

　　Ambassador Trautmann, who had been trying to get Chiang Kai-shek to negotiate peace with the Japanese and give up resistance, also received the news, learning that the Japanese airfields in Central China had suffered devastating blows.

　　He also learned that the Special Operations Brigade's planes were circling over Shanghai. He was very surprised by this situation.

　　Trautmann had been to the Special Operations Brigade's Jurong base. Although his arms deals with the Special Operations Brigade had now ceased, the transactions that had taken place still existed.

　　There was still some friendship, and it was because of this friendship that he could enter and leave Jurong very freely. What he didn't expect was that the Special Operations Brigade now had such great strength.

　　Many foreigners had the same thought. Although their positions were different, their thoughts were the same: they wanted to establish contact with the Special Operations Brigade!

　　At this time, Lin Fan had plundered the racecourse airfield, and the companies were shrinking back in preparation for retreat.

　　Battalion Commander Inagaki Zuoemon was the guard of the racecourse. He was lucky enough to escape when the Special Operations Brigade launched its attack. He had been hiding in the houses outside the airfield.

　　He saw the planes in the air and teams of Special Operations Brigade soldiers guarding the positions. Battalion Commander Inagaki Zuoemon and the dozen or so Japanese soldiers he led were all hiding in the room, not daring to move.

　　They didn't dare to move! They only dared to hide in the room, hoping that those ferocious soldiers would leave soon.

　　When a fierce explosion sounded again in the airfield, and plumes of smoke rose into the sky, Battalion Commander Inagaki Zuoemon was overjoyed and was about to rush out when.

　　He saw a huge ball of fire rising from the direction of the airfield's oil depot. The oil depot was on fire.

　　When all the planes in the air disappeared, Battalion Commander Inagaki Zuoemon sent a Japanese soldier out to reconnoiter the situation.

　　Only after learning that the airfield was empty did he lead his team back to the airfield.

　　(Omitted ID info)

　　Battalion Commander Inagaki Zuoemon was the first Japanese soldier to retake the airfield, but the facilities inside the airfield were completely destroyed, and there was no way to report the current situation to his superiors.

　　At this time, Lin Fan had already flown back to Guangde with the entire aviation brigade. Within half a month, the Special Operations Brigade had launched two consecutive attacks on Japanese airfields with a cluster of planes and occupied them.

　　Such tactics were already being studied by many countries around the world.

　　Lin Fan, who had returned to Jurong, soon met with Dai Li, who had come to express his gratitude and deliver information.

　　Lin Fan rescued more than a hundred people from 76, including several of Dai Li's subordinates. These people were all receiving treatment in the Jurong field hospital.

　　Gui Shiyun was not injured at all. She was arranged to stay in the Special Operations Brigade's guest house.

　　After returning from Shanghai, Lin Fan first communicated with Li Xian, explaining the situation of the battle and reassuring him that he was fine and the entire team was fine.

　　During this time, Lin Fan was mainly responsible for military affairs, and Li Xian was entirely responsible for local management.

　　Li Xian was different. He not only managed the local area, but also managed the Jurong team.

　　Among the Special Operations Brigade's several bases, the Jurong base was the strongest in terms of both economy and military strength. In particular, Jurong had complete industrial production, with its own oil refinery, its own iron mine, and its own steel plant.

　　(Omitted app info)

　　This was very rare during the war. More importantly, the Jurong Special Operations Brigade also had its own arsenal and aircraft manufacturing plant, and engine production plant, all of which were directly under Li Xian's leadership.

　　Lin Fan explained his plan to launch a large-scale operation against the Japanese mainland. Li Xian was stunned. He had never imagined that a war could be fought like this.

　　When Dai Li saw Lin Fan, he quickly stepped forward, grasped Lin Fan's hand tightly, and kept thanking Lin Fan for personally risking his life to rescue people.

　　He also handed over the prepared information: "Among these materials, some are hand-drawn maps, some are written records, and some are photos, all of which we collected about the situation on the Japanese mainland."

　　Lin Fan said with a smile, "Miss Gui Shiyun, I would like to use her for a while longer. I wonder what Director Dai thinks?"

　　Dai Li said with a smile, "As long as she is safe, Brigade Commander Lin can use her for as long as he wants."

　　Soon someone brought Gui Shiyun over. She was startled when she saw Dai Li. Gui Shiyun had never imagined that she would see her top commander here.

　　She didn't know whether she should go forward to say hello or pretend not to know him. Just as Gui Shiyun was hesitating, Dai Li said with a smile, "You have suffered."

　　"Boss! After I went in, they didn't torture me. They only asked me twice to confess the people behind me. Commander Lin, I really didn't betray you."

　　Dai Li remained calm, waiting for Gui Shiyun to explain.

　　(Omitted app info)

　　"I don't know why they arrested me. They didn't say why they arrested me. Li Shiqun asked me for my bank account and password, and then he left," Gui Shiyun said quickly.

　　Dai Li finally waved his hand and said, "Lin Jue was arrested after being recognized by a former acquaintance."

　　One sentence proved that Gui Shiyun had not betrayed him, and Gui Shiyun's tears flowed out. These days, she had been worried in 76.

　　After being rescued, she was afraid that she couldn't explain herself clearly. Now that she was finally proven innocent, she couldn't help but cry.

　　Dai Li said, "This time, I asked Brigade Commander Lin to come and rescue you specifically. Now there is a task."

　　Hearing that there was a task, Gui Shiyun quickly stopped her tears, stood up straight and said, "Please give me instructions, boss!"

　　Dai Li said, "Brigade Commander Lin wants to learn some things from you, and you must do your best to help her. Although you were not exposed, Brigade Commander Lin snatched you from 76.

　　You don't have to go back to Shanghai anymore. Help Brigade Commander Lin for the time being!"

　　This was openly placing someone by Lin Fan's side. Lin Fan said with a smile, "As long as the Japanese don't retreat, I really need talents like Miss Gui here."

　　Dai Li looked at Lin Fan taking away the information with regret, but he didn't say what he expected. Originally, he wanted Lin Fan to say again, "This time, I owe you a favor."

　　(Omitted ID info)

　　But after Lin Fan took the information and looked at it carefully, he said with some regret, "It's helpful, but not very helpful."

　　Dai Li couldn't help but ask, "What kind of information do you want?"

　　Lin Fan said with a bitter smile, "It would be best to have a map with every street, every store, and every factory in their cities marked."

　　Dai Li said with a smile, "How could there be such a map?"

　　Lin Fan said with a smile, "This is what Miss Gui needs to do."

　　After seeing Dai Li off, Gui Shiyun was now truly working under Lin Fan. Lin Fan said, "Miss Gui! We are preparing to launch an attack on the Japanese mainland.

　　But we don't have detailed maps, so I hope you can preside over a department dedicated to drawing maps of the Japanese mainland.

　　Like what I said just now, it would be best to be able to detail every store and factory on every street, as well as the docks, ammunition depots, oil depots, and repair shops in the Japanese military ports.

　　There are also the Japanese arsenals, power plants, shipyards, banks, military camps, military academies, and water plants in various cities. These are all important places.

　　As long as you can remember them, even ordinary schools and kindergartens should be marked.

　　(Omitted app info)

　　This way, when we carry out our missions, we can be targeted, deal with the key points, and avoid ordinary schools, residential areas, and kindergartens."

　　Gui Shiyun was already surprised when she heard Lin Fan ask her to lead a department, and her watery eyes widened. She was even more surprised when she heard what Lin Fan said later: "Brigade Commander Lin! This can't be completed in a day or two, but I will do it as soon as possible."

　　"Your current identity is a bit sensitive. I have equipped you with two bodyguards. Be sure to bring them with you when you go out. Jurong is relatively safe, but this time our actions have caused the Japanese and 76 to lose face.

　　Although they don't know what the purpose of our actions is, if one of the more than a hundred people who came out of the dungeon says that our main rescue target is you.

　　I believe that Japanese and 76 agents will definitely want to find out the reason behind this."

　　Gui Shiyun's face was pale, and she quickly said, "I won't go out!" Lin Fan said with a smile, "The security in Jurong is still very good. Just take bodyguards with you when you go out.

　　If there is no security at all, wouldn't we all be afraid to be seen?"

　　As soon as Lin Fan said this, Gui Shiyun burst out laughing: "It's me who is afraid to be seen now."

　　Seeing her smile, Lin Fan said, "That's right. No matter how dangerous the future is, we must rush up with a smile. Your department only has you for the time being. I have already told you about the task.

　　If you have anyone in mind, please tell me. Even if it's going to heaven or earth, I will go and invite them."

　　(Omitted app info)

　　Gui Shiyun asked, "Can outsiders know about doing this?"

　　Seeing that Lin Fan didn't seem to understand, she explained softly, "After asking someone to do something, if that person tells what they did here and it spreads to the Japanese, is it important or not?"

　　Lin Fan thought for a moment: "It's best not to have such a thing happen. If the Japanese know that we are collecting intelligence about their homeland, they will have all kinds of guesses, and they will be prepared.

　　I don't want the Japanese to be prepared, otherwise the difficulty of our actions will increase a lot."

　　Gui Shiyun said with a smile, "Is it like how you suddenly rushed into 76 and then retreated from the airport?"

　　"Yes!"

　　"Can you let me join the operation next time?" Gui Shiyun said suddenly.

　　"This kind of operation is very dangerous. Everyone who participates in the operation has their own task. We can't bring a reporter or a tourist to travel," Lin Fan refused.

　　"I just want to do my part for the War of Resistance. I was very scared when I was arrested by 76 this time. Seeing Lin Jue being beaten to a bloody pulp by those people, I knew that if I suffered the same punishment, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to survive it.

　　Therefore, I want to go to the front line and train myself on the front line. I heard that on the battlefield of blood and fire, people's courage can be trained." Gui Shiyun said.

　　(Omitted app info)

　　Lin Fan thought for a moment and said, "Few people can survive 76's punishment like Lin Jue. Even among the people we rescued from the dungeon, maybe some have already confessed.

　　It's not wrong for you to want to improve your endurance through training. But you have to participate in military training first. When you really become a soldier who can fight, then follow us in our actions!

　　I will arrange for you to learn from someone. But I still want to say: You may not even know your own importance.

　　Every target you mark on the map has a huge impact on the War of Resistance.

　　Just like our action yesterday. We have the specific location of 76, so we can directly attack it.

　　We have the location of the Japanese garrison headquarters, so we can directly bomb it. Without this information, if we don't know where they are, our actions will be like headless flies."

　　Gui Shiyun didn't expect that she had suddenly become so important. She felt that she was just a reporter. If there was anything special about her, it was that she traveled to more places and interviewed more places in the Japanese homeland.

　　Lin Fan wanted to form a department specifically for drawing maps, so he had to seek help from Yu Hanmou, the commander of the Fourth War Zone. Lin Fan was clear that Yu Hanmou had sent a group of people to investigate the Japanese mainland after he bombed it.

　　Some of these people could also be invited to help, and among the officers in the Fourth War Zone, many had studied at Japanese military academies.

　　They could also add some detailed information to the maps.

　　(Omitted app info)

　　Lin Fan originally had the idea of launching an attack on the Japanese naval port in Wusongkou, and now his plan had been completed simultaneously with the rescue plan.

　　The Special Operations Brigade's concentrated aviation brigade also returned to their respective airports and began their vacations.

　　He didn't return to Huiyang either. He stayed in Jurong, looked at Ji Wudi every day, and then looked at the maps drawn by Gui Shiyun.

　　Lin Fan was very relaxed for the first few days. Soon he couldn't relax anymore, as Trautmann came to Jurong.

　　He brought the Japanese hope to negotiate peace with the Special Operations Brigade, but Lin Fan immediately refused.

　　Lin Fan said, "The Japanese must completely withdraw their troops, investigate the responsibility of those who launched the war, and compensate us for our war losses. If they accept these three conditions, we will have a basis for negotiation."

　　As soon as the three conditions were thrown out, Trautmann immediately understood the Special Operations Brigade's attitude: peace talks were impossible at this time.

　　Trautmann left, and then someone else came. This time, they came to invite Lin Fan to give a speech, hoping that Lin Fan could give a targeted speech at West Point Military Academy about the two recent battles.

　　This was possible! Comrade Lin Fan would go to give a speech when the situation was not so tense.

　　He couldn't leave now. During this time, the Special Operations Brigade had attacked everywhere, greatly inspiring the people's will to resist Japan, but it had also alerted the Japanese.

　　(Omitted app info)

　　They were already intentionally shrinking their forces on the front lines and no longer seeking a decisive battle with the main force of the National Army. Because in this Battle of Wuhan, although the Japanese achieved their goal of occupying Wuhan.

　　But the things they had hoped for, such as Chiang Kai-shek's downfall and surrender, had not happened. Although a heavyweight among Chiang Kai-shek's deputies had defected.

　　But this one had no military effect at all. He could only be used as a sign and had no real effect.

　　This made the Japanese Army General Staff believe that the Battle of Wuhan, in addition to occupying land, had not achieved the goal of eliminating the main force of the National Army, nor had it achieved the goal of forcing the National Army to negotiate peace.

　　It was a victory that was as good as a defeat. Now there were guerrillas everywhere in the rear, and the troops they deployed in the cities in the rear were always stretched thin, especially in the suburbs.

　　They were simply unable to maintain their rule. Now they were一心(yīxīn - wholeheartedly) trying to settle the rear.

　　The North China Front Army and the Central China Expeditionary Army simultaneously formulated plans to stabilize the rear, preparing to carry out sweeping and suppression plans against the guerrilla bases in the rear.

　　The one they needed to suppress the most was the Special Operations Brigade's Jurong base on the edge of Nanjing.

　　This base was right on the edge of Nanjing City. How to completely destroy it was the most headache-inducing problem for Yan Junliu.

　　From the moment he took office, Yan Junliu knew that the Jurong base had to be removed no matter what.

　　(Omitted app info)

　　This was a thorn in the heart of the Central China Expeditionary Army. If it was not removed, the Japanese rule in the entire Central China region could not be stabilized.
