Spy Wars: Red Agent Codename Phoenix

The Japanese heavy artillery bombarded the land with a shoal-like force, causing earth-shattering noises on Mount Yi.

Ten Japanese regiments and ten puppet regiments were waiting at the foot of the mountain.

The car headlights illuminated the mountains and valleys, making them look like a stage.

Many straw figures dressed as Eighth Route Army soldiers were erected on the mountain, but they were blown to pieces.

The Japanese soldiers down the mountain cheered happily, venting the anger that had been building up in their hearts for many days.

The northeast side has steep mountains, with Lake Nishi-Wei at its foot, and the Nojiri Regiment has withdrawn, making it the only blind spot.

Yu Xiaowan looked back at Mount Yi and said with a smile, "Brother Chu! Your counter-mopping-up tactics are really good. The Japanese have worked for nothing. You should report the combat experience of this classic counter-mopping-up campaign to headquarters."

Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "It's nothing to mention! It's nothing more than first using tunnels, trenches, and bunkers to wear down the enemy's morale, then sending elite troops to carry out a decapitation strike, and finally breaking out in small groups. Turning defense into offense, turning passivity into initiative, that's what everyone does."

Yu Xiaowan smiled and said, "This is a combat experience worth learning from. I will compile it and report it to you."

Xiang Chu nodded and said, "A simple tidying up will suffice! Don't overdo it."

At this moment, Wang Zizai rode over on one horse and led two others.

He jumped off his horse and said happily, "Commander! Madam! All the people and horses are here. These are your horses."

Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Very good! You can dismantle the Hidden Water Bridge."

"Yes!"

Wang Zizai hurriedly accepted the order.

Xiang Chu and Yu Xiaowan mounted their horses and rode south.

At dawn, the Japanese heavy artillery ceased its bombardment.

Kobayashi Kenzaburo stood outside the command post, surrounded by a group of Japanese colonels.

Looking at the ravaged Mount Yi, he laughed loudly, "Yoshi! Under the heavy artillery of the Empire, the Eighth Route Army's Western Shandong Special Task Force has become history. Haha!"

Regimental Commander Nojiri stepped forward and volunteered: "Commander! My regiment is willing to be the vanguard to wipe out the remaining Eighth Route Army forces on the mountain."

Kobayashi Kenzaburo nodded and said, "Nojiri-kun! We must capture the commander of the Eighth Route Army Special Task Force."

"Report——!"

A Japanese scout rushed over and reported loudly, "Commander! General Doihara has led his troops up the mountain from the north. He intends to strike directly at the stronghold of the Eighth Route Army's special task force and seize the credit."

Kobayashi Kenzaburo roared in anger: "Shameless Doihara Kenji, how dare he steal our army's credit! All troops, go up the mountain and annihilate the remaining Eighth Route Army!"

"Hello!"

The Japanese officers all accepted the order and rushed back to their respective camps.

The Japanese intelligence officer rushed out of the command post and reported: "Commander! Commander Okamura has called, General Headquarters is criticizing why it was Doihara Kenji who took Yishan, and what our army was doing."

"idiot!"

Kobayashi Kenzaburo roared in anger and nearly fainted.

"Boom! Boom!"

A series of explosions were heard from the north side of Mount Yi.

The Japanese intelligence officer exclaimed excitedly, "Commander! Doihara Kenji has stepped on a landmine!"

Kobayashi Kenzaburo sneered, "This is the retribution he deserves. Quickly check if he's dead or not."

"Hello!"

The Japanese intelligence officer hurriedly accepted the order.

At this moment, the Japanese soldiers had already stormed up Mount Yi.

"Boom! Boom!"

A series of explosions could be heard intermittently.

The Japanese intelligence officer walked out of the command post and shook his head, saying, "Commander! Doihara Kenji is lucky; he wasn't killed by the landmine. He's coming over right away."

Kobayashi Kenzaburo said angrily, "This scoundrel dares to come here and claim credit for his own war effort?"

The radio operator rushed out of the command post and shouted, "Commander! Hundreds of troops going up the mountain have been killed or wounded by landmines. All units are requesting engineering support."

"what?!"

Kobayashi Kenzaburo was stunned.

"Little Lin! The mountain is full of landmines, there isn't a single Eighth Route Army soldier here."

Doihara Kenji's voice suddenly rang out from behind his warhorse.

Kobayashi Senzaburo said coldly, "Senior Doihara! Don't spread false information. If there are no Eighth Route Army soldiers on the mountain, where did they go?"

Doihara Hama sighed, "Alas! You're too foolish. The Eighth Route Army has long since fled. If you don't believe me, ask the troops that went up the mountain."

The Japanese intelligence officer rushed out of the command post and reported: "Commander! The mountain is full of landmines, and we can't find a single Eighth Route Army soldier."

Kobayashi Kenzaburo said incredulously, "The Eighth Route Army has flown away?"

Doihara Hamako pointed south and said, "Kobayashi! The Eighth Route Army Special Task Force has definitely fled to the Yimeng Mountains. You should lead your troops to pursue them. I, the great general, have already destroyed the Eighth Route Army Special Task Force commander's lair, achieved my goal, and am no longer playing with you. Until we meet again!"

After saying this, he leaped onto Kobayashi Zenzaburo's white horse and galloped off to the north.

Kobayashi Kenzaburo shouted angrily, "Doihara Kenji! That's my horse!"

Doihara Hamako, a habitual swindler, pretended not to hear his cries.

The Japanese intelligence officer suggested, "Commander! The mountain is full of landmines. Why don't you order all units to go down the mountain and pursue the Eighth Route Army Special Task Force?"

Kobayashi Kenzaburo nodded and said, "You issue the order for the entire army to descend the mountain and pursue the Eighth Route Army."

The Japanese radio operator rushed out of the command post and reported: "Commander! Commander Okamura has sent a telegram ordering you to withdraw your troops, return to Jining, and accept impeachment for the defeat in battle."

Kobayashi Zenzaburo sat helplessly on a large rock and sighed:

"The Eighth Route Army Special Task Force is despicable; they have ruined my future."

The Japanese intelligence officer reminded them, "Commander! It's time to withdraw the troops."

Kobayashi Zenzaburo glanced southeast and nodded, saying:

"Withdraw the troops! Return to Jining. It's such a good thing for the Eighth Route Army Special Task Force; let them go back to the sea like dragons returning to the sea."

The Japanese intelligence officer comforted him, saying, "Commander! The Eighth Route Army Special Task Force is heading to Yimeng. The entire route is blocked by the Imperial Army and the puppet army's pillboxes and blockades. They will definitely suffer heavy losses."

Kobayashi Senzaburo's eyes darted around, and he ordered, "Order the Nojiri Regiment to continue pursuing the Eighth Route Army Special Task Force, and the other units to withdraw to their original positions."

"Hello!"

The Japanese intelligence officer hurriedly accepted the order.

Kobayashi Kenzaburo sneered, "The Eighth Route Army's Western Shandong Special Task Force! The Nojiri Regiment is full of elites, you won't escape alive."

Pingyi, on the north bank of Wulong Lake.

The Japanese and puppet troops built three pillboxes in a triangular shape to guard key transportation routes.

There was a Japanese detachment and a puppet army company in the No. 3 blockhouse.

As soon as the Japanese detachment leader arrived at his post, he asked the puppet army company commander with a smile:

"Mr. He! What is our newly built pillbox lacking most?"

Company Commander He said with a smile, "Mr. Kaohsiung! I feel like I have everything I need."

The Kaohsiung City squad leader yelled, "You idiot! Don't you think there aren't any pretty girls around?"

Company Commander He slapped his forehead and said with a grin, "How can the Imperial Army be without pretty girls? Mr. Takaichi! I'll take some men to the nearby villages to catch some pretty girls right away."

The squad leader of Kaohsiung waved his hand and said, "Send a platoon over there to capture 15 young women, one for each Imperial Army soldier."

"Report——!"

A puppet army scout rushed in and reported in a panic:

"Tai-kun Kaoshi! Countless Eighth Route Army soldiers have arrived. We are to surrender."

The detachment leader from Kaohsiung sneered, "These bastards dare to ask us to surrender? Let them all live. He Sang! Everyone, get to the pillbox and kill every Eighth Route Army soldier who dares to cross the road."

"Yes!"

Company Commander He hurriedly accepted the order and rushed out of the pillbox.

The puppet army scouts caught up with him and said urgently, "Brother! This Eighth Route Army unit should be a special task force. They're said to be extremely strong. We should surrender."

Company Commander He shouted, "Are you going to starve following the Eighth Route Army? Say another word and I'll kill you!"
