Spy Wars: Red Agent Codename Phoenix

Chapter 1666 The puppet troops are a bunch of trash

Zheng Jie suggested, "Director! Why not send an anti-Japanese assassination squad to assassinate the commander of the Eighth Route Army Special Task Force in western Shandong?"

Dai Nong nodded and said with a wry smile, "The Anti-Japanese Anti-Traitor Corps was originally intended to eliminate traitors, but now it mainly targets the Red Party. You handle it. By the way! The Central Committee has always had agents infiltrated into the Luxi Special Task Force. Haven't you heard anything about that?"

Zheng Jie said with a smile, "According to reports from our undercover agents in the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, the agents or traitors they recruited in the Luxi Special Task Force have also been wiped out."

Dai Nong pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "No! The Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics should have another super agent codenamed Dark Bird, so it's impossible for him to be exposed so easily."

Zheng Jie smiled wryly and said, "Director! Dark Bird probably has nowhere to hide in front of Xiang Chu."

Dai Nong waved his hand and said, "No! As long as he doesn't reveal any flaws, Xiang Chu can't do anything to him. Now that 50,000 Japanese and puppet troops have surrounded the Luxi Special Task Force, if Xiang Chu is killed, it will save me a lot of trouble."

Zheng Jie said with a smile, "Director! Xiang Chu will definitely be killed by the Japanese, so there's no need to send an anti-Japanese assassination squad, right?"

Dai Nong rebuked, "Who said we wouldn't send him? Bring his body back from Mount Yi, and I'll personally deliver it to the Chu Mansion."

Zheng Jie shook his head and said, "The Japanese have a history of cutting off the heads of our fallen commanders; I'm afraid we won't be able to retrieve them."

Dai Nong rolled his eyes at him and waved his hand, saying, "Then pick up some of his tokens. I have a great use for them. Go and make the arrangements."

"Yes!"

Zheng Jie hurriedly accepted the order and turned to leave the office.

Dai Nong muttered to himself, "This director is eager to know whether Xiang Chu is truly serving the Eighth Route Army. If so, he is very likely the 'Phoenix,' and he can solve the mystery in my heart."

Southeast of Mount Yi, Kobayashi Senzaburo's command post.

Heiji Kazuo reported: "Commander! Doihara Hamaji has telegraphed, instructing our army not to launch an attack on the Eighth Route Army on Mount Yi."

Kobayashi Senzaburo said angrily, "Is Doihara Hamaru crazy? Why can't our army attack?"

Heiji Ichigen laughed and said, "He's afraid that our army will scare away the Eighth Route Army and affect his ability to use biological weapons to achieve unparalleled feats."

Upon hearing this, Kobayashi Senzaburo scoffed and said, "What is Doihara Kenji? This commander will absolutely not allow him to gain merit. Chief of Staff! Our army has already secured the firing positions on the mountain, and we will begin targeted elimination tomorrow."

Heiji Kazuo said with a wry smile, "Commander! The artillery battalion has run out of shells, and the replenishment is expected to arrive tomorrow night. At that time, ten Type 96 150mm heavy guns will also arrive."

Kobayashi Kenzaburo was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Yosh! Then let's launch the final assault at dawn the day after tomorrow. With our heavy artillery and flamethrowers, we'll definitely wipe out those Eighth Route Army guerrillas in the caves of Yishan. Haha!"

Heiji Kazuo said with a smile, "Commander! By the time Doihara Hiroshi arrived, our army had already finished the battle, shattering his dream of making a name for himself."

Kobayashi Kenzaburo said with a grin, "Doihara Kenji will definitely be furious, hee hee!"

Mount Yi, the cave where Xiang Chu and Yu Xiaowan lived.

Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "Xiaowan! It's so dangerous here, why did you come all this way?"

Yu Xiaowan took out an order and said seriously, "He is here on orders from his superiors to serve as a special envoy."

"A special envoy?!"

Xiang Chu was taken aback, took the paper from her hand, and asked in confusion:

"You went to see my master?"

Yu Xiaowan smiled and said, "Yes! He told me to come and keep an eye on you, and not to be so stubborn when fighting the Japanese."

Xiang Chu said irritably, "Who's being stubborn? I just wanted to kill as many Japanese soldiers as possible before leaving."

Yu Xiaowan shook her head and said, "Brother Chu! Uncle Liu said that you should fight the Japanese to the death on this mountain. To be honest, it's not right to fight head-on like this."

Xiang Chu laughed and said, "That was just a rumor. I have already ordered Sun Ren and Gan Rong to lead five and six battalions respectively, carrying provisions and supplies, to quietly evacuate through the tunnels at three in the morning."

"Boom!"

Yu Xiaowan couldn't help but hug him and kiss him hard, praising him:

“I told your master that my man is not rigid.”

"Hey! What are you two doing?"

Liu Zhengxiong shouted as he walked in with a grin.

Yu Xiaowan scolded, "Uncle Liu! Were you hiding outside eavesdropping the whole time?"

Liu Zhengxiong scolded, "Do you think Uncle Liu is idle? I came to ask the detachment commander, what should we do with the remaining artillery after Sun Ren and Gan Rong took some of it?"

Xiang Chu pointed to the map on the table and said, "All the things we can't take with us are buried in Pit No. 28. If we ever manage to reach Mount Yi again, we can dig them out and use them."

Liu Zhengxiong nodded and said, "Very good!"

At this moment, Qian Fu entered the cave and reported:

"Madam! The medics from all the battalions have arrived."

Yu Xiaowan nodded and said, "Afu! Take me there."

After saying this, she led Qian Fu out of the cave.

Liu Zhengxiong said irritably, "Team leader! Xiaowan traveled all the way here, and she started training overnight as soon as she arrived. Aren't you going to let her rest?"

Xiang Chu said with a wry smile, "You know what I'm doing! How can I possibly control her?"

Liu Zhengxiong nodded and said, "Xiaowan's revolutionary enthusiasm is too high."

Xiang Chu instructed, "Go and rest quickly. Get up at three in the morning and attack the Japanese troops down the mountain to cover the retreat of the Fifth and Sixth Battalions."

Liu Zhengxiong asked doubtfully, "Isn't this a feint attack? Are we really fighting the Japanese?"

Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Of course! So many tunnels have to be put to use, otherwise it's all for nothing."

Liu Zhengxiong said worriedly, "Aren't you afraid that the tunnel will be leaked and our follow-up troops won't be able to escape?"

Xiang Chu smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry! I have a backup tunnel, I guarantee we can escape."

Liu Zhengxiong laughed heartily, "A cunning rabbit has three burrows! Haha!"

At three o'clock in the morning, gunfire erupted all over Mount Yi.

The artillery on the mountain fired fiercely, while the Eighth Route Army detachment below launched a surprise attack.

The Japanese soldiers were stunned by the surprise attack by the Eighth Route Army and fired their guns and cannons haphazardly in return.

Sun Ren and Gan Rong led the fifth and sixth brigades, carrying provisions and supplies, through the tunnels to the northeast, and quietly withdrew under the cover of gunfire.

Heiji Kazuo rushed into Kobayashi Zenzaburo's tent, shouting loudly:

"Commander! The Eighth Route Army appeared out of nowhere and launched a night attack on our army, causing heavy losses."

Startled, Kobayashi Kenzaburo sat up abruptly and exclaimed, "The Eighth Route Army has even dug tunnels? How despicable!"

"Boom! Boom!"

A deafening explosion came from not far away.

The Japanese intelligence officer rushed in, reporting with tears streaming down his face:

"Commander! Our ammunition depot has been blown up by the Eighth Route Army."

Kobayashi Kenzaburo roared, "Baka! Wipe out these Eighth Route Army soldiers who launched a night raid, find the tunnels, and block them all up!"

"Hello!"

The Japanese intelligence officer bowed and accepted the order.

"Report——!"

A Japanese lieutenant colonel rushed in and reported loudly:

"Commander! The 44th Regiment of the puppet army has fled en masse."

Kobayashi Kenzaburo roared in anger, "Baka! The puppet troops are a bunch of trash!"

Heiji Kazuo chimed in, "That's right! They run away at the slightest sign of trouble."
