Spy Wars: Red Agent Codename Phoenix

The Japanese soldiers were well-trained and highly organized.

The Japanese battalion commander and chief of staff were killed in the bombing. A Japanese company commander automatically took over command, drew his sword, pointed it forward, and roared: "Imperial warriors! The Eighth Route Army has run out of ammunition, give them your pistols! Kill!"

"kill!"

The Japanese soldiers roared loudly.

They charged wildly toward the artillery positions at the foot of Tushan Mountain, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Shouts of battle erupted simultaneously from the north, south, east, and west, as a hail of bullets rained down on the Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese soldiers switched to crawling advance, fearlessly closing in on the artillery positions.

At the Tushan arc artillery position, a flurry of activity was underway.

The artillery battalion soldiers are operating the equipment efficiently and without disorder.

Lu Zheng, holding a telescope, observed the scene and said happily:

"Deputy Commander! Two Japanese commanders have been killed in the bombing."

"Great!"

Liu Zhengxiong said excitedly, holding a megaphone and shouting, "Comrades! The Japanese battalion commander is dead and has lost command. Quickly open fire on the evil Japanese devils!"

"Boom! Boom!"

A hundred cannons fired simultaneously, and the shells once again blasted into the Japanese troops' ranks.

The Japanese soldiers never expected that the Eighth Route Army had artillery shells.

They fired twice in quick succession, unleashing two hundred shells, causing countless Japanese casualties.

The Japanese soldiers dared not continue their charge and turned to flee in panic.

Sun Ren said happily, "This volley has killed or wounded nearly half of the Japanese soldiers."

Lu Zheng said urgently, "Deputy Commander! The Japanese are retreating, don't waste artillery shells."

Liu Zhengxiong nodded and said, "Good! We have too few shells; we need to save them for a major battle."

After speaking, he picked up the phone and reported to Xiang Chu:

"Commander-in-Chief! The artillery battalion has completed its mission. Shall I lead the infantry to pursue and annihilate the Japanese?"

Xiang Chu replied, "No need! You rest for now and prepare to lead the men to clean up the battlefield."

Liu Zhengxiong shouted, "Rest? What are you talking about? The Japanese are trying to break through from both sides!"

Xiang Chu sneered, "Don't worry! The remaining Japanese soldiers won't be able to break through."

The Japanese soldiers attempted to break through to the north, only to be met with fierce crossfire.

The Japanese soldiers left behind a pile of corpses and turned to break out to the south, but were still met with a hail of bullets.

The remaining Japanese soldiers turned west and headed towards Yanghe.

The banks of the Yang River were quiet, as if there were no Eighth Route Army soldiers lying in ambush.

The Japanese soldiers were overjoyed and rushed into Yanghe River.

The river was not deep, and the early autumn temperature was pleasant, which eased the tension of the Japanese soldiers.

"Da-da! Da-da-da!"

Hundreds of machine guns fired simultaneously, and bullets rained down like a dense storm.

In the blink of an eye, the Japanese soldiers crossing the river suffered a devastating defeat, and the Yanghe River was stained red with blood.

The Japanese company commander was terrified when he saw the rows of machine guns on the opposite bank. Knowing that crossing the river was hopeless, he shouted, "Imperial warriors! Return to the shore!"

Without him saying anything, the Japanese soldiers behind him hurriedly ran back to the east bank.

"Kill the devil!"

Gan Rong led two large teams and surrounded them, shouting, but stopped at a distance of 500 meters.

Only a few dozen Japanese soldiers remained at the scene, most of them with expressions of despair.

The Japanese company commander pointed at the Eighth Route Army soldiers in the distance and mocked them: "Imperial warriors! The cowardly Eighth Route Army dares not approach. Let us muster our steely will and prepare to break through to the south and return to Shangqiu."

The Japanese radio operator shook his head and said, "Company commander! We're definitely going to be wiped out. You should report to the regimental commander."

The Japanese company commander said dejectedly, "I called the regimental commander and learned that the Oshima Battalion was wiped out in Tushan after being surrounded by ten times the number of elite Eighth Route Army troops."

"Hello!"

The Japanese radio operator hurriedly received the order and sent out a telegram.

The Japanese company commander drew his command sword, pointed it south, and roared:

"Break through to the south! Kill!"

Upon receiving the reply, the Japanese radio operator urgently reported: "Company Commander! Do not rush to charge. The regimental commander has sent a message that a unit is assisting our army in attacking the Eighth Route Army from Tushan East."

"Boom! Boom!"

Countless grenade launcher shells were fired, landing in the ranks of the Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese company commander, riddled with bullets, roared with his last breath, "Baka! Those Eighth Route Army guerrillas still have Imperial Type 89 grenade launchers! How hateful!"

After saying this, his head lolled to the side, and he died.

Immediately, gunshots rang out from all around, firing in a crisscross pattern.

The gunfire ceased, the smoke cleared, and all the Japanese soldiers lay dead.

The Eighth Route Army soldiers cheered loudly:

"We annihilated the entire Japanese battalion!"

"We've won! We've won!"

In Tushan, a Nationalist army unit is on a forced march.

The leader was Zeng Daqiang, who brought a whole regiment with him.

"Report!"

A scout came running from the front and reported:

"Commander! The Eighth Route Army of Tushan has wiped out a battalion of Japanese soldiers and is cheering."

Zeng Daqiang exclaimed in surprise, "The Japanese devils are so weak, they've already been wiped out by the Eighth Route Army?"

The scout nodded and said, "Yes! The Eighth Route Army of Tushan has hundreds of artillery pieces and hundreds of grenade launchers. Their weapons are more advanced than those of the Japanese battalion, and their ammunition is more plentiful."

Zeng Daqiang shook his head and said, "The Eighth Route Army is so powerful, why should our army fight a losing battle? Radio operator! Request instructions from the special envoy: The Eighth Route Army in Tushan has defeated a large Japanese battalion. Our army cannot win. We request to withdraw our troops."

"Yes!"

The radio operator hurriedly received the order and sent a telegram.

Soon, I received a call back, reporting:

"Commander! The special envoy has called. Although the Eighth Route Army has defeated a large Japanese battalion, they must have been completely wiped out. This is a perfect opportunity for our army to pick off the rest."

Zeng Daqiang said with a wry smile, "The Eighth Route Army is strong and well-equipped; how could our army possibly miss anything?"

The radio operator continued to report: "Commander! Secretary Feng called, saying that if you can annihilate the Eighth Route Army of Tushan, she will agree to marry you."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Daqiang beamed and said, "Really! For love, I will swear to annihilate the Eighth Route Army of Tushan. Chief of Staff! Order the entire army to advance at full speed and catch the Eighth Route Army of Tushan off guard."

The chief of staff, who came from the Northeast Army, was eager to fight the Japanese and unwilling to fight the Eighth Route Army. He advised, "Commander! The Eighth Route Army in Tushan is not fighting the Japanese as rumored, but rather in a guerrilla-like manner. Our army should not fight them."

Zeng Daqiang, who was completely infatuated with Feng Na, shouted, "Tian Dabao! If you don't obey my orders, you'll be shot on the spot!"

Knowing there was no room for negotiation, Tian Dabao hurriedly said, "Commander! Please don't be angry, I will carry out your order immediately."

After saying this, he led his troops toward Tushan.

Tushan, the command post of the special task force.

The Japanese Oshima Hiroshi's unit was completely annihilated, and the command post was filled with jubilation.

Zhang Fei said with a wry smile, "Commander-in-Chief! The soldiers of the Fourth Battalion are guarding Tushan without firing a single shot. They are very disappointed."

Xiang Chu said irritably, "The Fourth Battalion's mission is to prevent the enemy from attacking the base from the east, and they are all the newest recruits. What's there to be disappointed about?"

Qian Fu reported: "Commander-in-Chief! Liu Heping, the commander of the Fourth Battalion, called to say that a regiment of Nationalist troops is launching a surprise attack from the east. Should we attack?"

"The Nationalist army ambushed us; it seems they wanted to take advantage of our misfortune."

Xiang Chu sneered, paused, and then gave the order.

"Ah Fu! Inform Liu Heping to fire warning shots first. If the National Army continues to approach, then engage them decisively."

"Yes!"

Qian Fu hurriedly accepted the order.

Zhang Fei suggested, "Commander-in-Chief! To be on the safe side, I'll lead a battalion to outflank and teach this ignorant Nationalist army a lesson."

Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "No need! Our guns should still be aimed at the Japanese. Send the artillery to fire two shells at the National Army to scare them."

"Yes!"

Zhang Fei gladly accepted the order.
