Spy Wars: Red Agent Codename Phoenix

Xiang Chu's rule for sniping was to first take out the Japanese commanders, officers, and radio operators.

Meanwhile, sniper agents were also focusing on eliminating "important figures" within the Japanese regiment.

At the beginning of the war, a large number of Japanese officers and radio operators were eliminated.

The waters of Wulong Lake surged down and quickly submerged the depression where the Japanese troops were located.

The Japanese soldiers in front were submerged in water as deep as a person's height, and almost all of them drowned or were killed by gunfire.

The Japanese troops behind them did not flee; instead, they immediately seized the high ground on both sides of the road and launched a fierce counterattack.

The Japanese soldiers were extremely accurate marksmen, causing some casualties to the inexperienced recruits.

Yu Xiaowan shook her head and said, "Brother Chu! I thought the Japanese would retreat after being ambushed and flooded, but I didn't expect them to resist so stubbornly."

Xiang Chu sighed, "Alas! It's a pity that the water supply is insufficient in autumn and winter, and we also lack artillery shells. We have to use bullets sparingly, so we cannot achieve our goal of annihilating the Nojiri Regiment."

Yu Xiaowan comforted him, "Brother Chu! At least a thousand Japanese soldiers were killed or drowned, and a large number of Japanese vehicles and supplies were submerged. Our casualties are negligible. This battle can be considered a great victory."

Xiang Chu nodded and instructed, "Section Chief Qian! Notify all battalion commanders that they should not engage the Japanese in a fierce battle and should immediately withdraw from the battlefield. Leave decoy targets on the battlefield and lay landmines. The Fourth Battalion is responsible for laying landmines around the pillboxes and along the retreat road."

"Yes!"

Qian Fu hurriedly accepted the order.

Yu Xiaowan asked in confusion, "Why don't we fight some more? We haven't picked up any loot."

Xiang Chu handed her the binoculars and pointed to a high slope to the west, saying:

"Look, the Japanese are setting up their cannons, preparing to bomb us."

Yu Xiaowan took the binoculars and looked at them, nodding and saying, "Yes! If we don't leave the battlefield soon, there will definitely be a lot of casualties. But it's still a pity that so many guns and ammunition are soaking in the water, and we can't retrieve them."

Xiang Chu laughed and said, "With the firepower of our detachment, if we seize a county town occupied by the Japanese, we'll have everything we need."

Yu Xiaowan smiled and said, "That's right! We also need to rob the Japanese pillboxes, ammunition depots, and train stations."

At this moment, Hu Changsheng rushed over and reported, "Brigade Commander! Should we blow up these three pillboxes?"

Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "No need to blow it up! Put some dummies on top, and the Japanese will shell the pillbox. You guys quickly lay landmines and leave here before the Japanese shell it."

"Yes!"

Hu Changsheng hurriedly accepted the order.

"withdraw!"

Xiang Chu shouted and led the command post personnel eastward.

On the western high slope, the Japanese battalion commander Isogai urged loudly:

"Company commander! Set up the cannons quickly, or the Eighth Route Army will escape."

The artillery company commander pointed to the red flag on the top of the pillbox and said, "Commander! The Eighth Route Army has finally captured this fortified pillbox. How could they possibly be willing to run away? Besides, no matter how fast the Eighth Route Army runs, can they outrun artillery shells?"

Captain Isogai glanced at the figures faintly visible on the Eighth Route Army's position and the top of the pillbox, and said with a smile, "Yoshi! The Eighth Route Army has no food or water, they definitely don't have the energy to run."

"Report——!"

The signalman rushed over and reported loudly:

"Commander! An Imperial army is approaching from behind. They are signaling to us with their flags and asking which unit we belong to."

Captain Isogai picked up his binoculars and looked westward, saying excitedly, "It looks like the Doihara Regiment! Quick! Tell them our unit number and have them come over."

"Hello!"

The Japanese communications soldier hurriedly accepted the order.

At this time, the Japanese artillery had already set up five Type 92 infantry guns.

The artillery company commander requested permission to fire: "Commander! Request permission to fire."

Battalion Commander Isogai pointed to the pillbox and loudly ordered:

"Fire! Bomb those Eighth Route Army guerrillas!"

"Hello!"

The artillery company commander bowed and accepted the order.

"Boom! Boom!"

Five shells flew out and blasted straight at the pillbox in front.

The pillbox was hit, and flags and rubble flew everywhere.

Captain Isogai shouted excitedly, "Yoshi! Keep firing, raze the three pillboxes to the ground!"

The Japanese artillery bombarded the pillbox fiercely, with shells raining down on it one after another.

Doihara Kenji led Takahashi Kosei and Masuko Masao up the hill.

Captain Isogai saluted: "Your Excellency, the Pseudo-General! The Isogai Battalion of the Nojiri Regiment welcomes you."

Doihara Kenji said unhappily, "Commander Isogai! Why isn't Regiment Commander Nojiri here to greet us?"

Captain Isogai pointed to a puddle by the lake and said, feigning grief, "Your Excellency, the fake general! Our regimental commander has been sniped and beheaded by the Eighth Route Army Special Task Force."

Upon hearing this, Doihara Kenji hurriedly squatted down and looked towards the puddle, exclaiming in surprise, "The Eighth Route Army Special Task Force actually used water attack here! That's amazing!"

Masuko Yoshio shook his head and said, "Teacher! I think the Nojiri Regiment Commander is too stupid. Why didn't he send scouts to scout ahead before marching? This place is a death trap."

Doihara Hamaji nodded and said, "Fang Xiong! You are absolutely right. However, since Captain Nojiri died for the Empire, the Yasukuni Shrine will definitely keep his memorial tablet."

At this moment, the Japanese artillery bombarded and leveled three pillboxes.

The artillery company commander reported: "Sir, the blockhouse has been leveled. Requesting instructions for the next step."

Captain Isogai pointed to the hills and said, "Bombard the Eighth Route Army's positions!"

"Hello!"

The Japanese artillery company commander hurriedly accepted the order.

"slow!"

Doihara Hamako quickly stopped him, pointing to the Eighth Route Army's positions on the hill and shaking his head, saying:

"There are no Eighth Route Army soldiers on that position anymore, they're all dummies. If you don't believe me, send someone over to take a look."

Captain Isogai asked doubtfully, "Fake?! That can't be right."

Impatient, Doihara Hamamoto pointed at the artillery company commander and gave the order:

"Lieutenant! Don't waste these precious shells. Take some men and go check out the Eighth Route Army's position."

"Hello!"

The artillery company commander hurriedly accepted the order.

With a wave of his hand, he led the artillerymen cautiously toward the Eighth Route Army's position on the hill.

Sure enough, they approached the position without encountering any resistance.

Doihara Hama patted Captain Isogai's little face and said with a smile:

"Isoya-kun! What I said is true, isn't it?"

"Boom! Boom!"

A series of explosions rang out from the Eighth Route Army's positions on the hills.

The artillery company commander and all his artillerymen were killed in the explosion.

Battalion Commander Isogai cried out, "My artillery company is completely finished."

Doihara Hamaji scolded, "What are you crying about? It's just a few deaths. Assemble the troops and follow me to pursue the Eighth Route Army Special Task Force."

Captain Isogai shook his head and said, "You fake general! We have no subordinate relationship, so I cannot comply!"

Doihara Hamaji pulled out his pistol, pointed it at him, and roared, "I'm transferring you, a mere battalion commander, and you dare to object? Do you want to die?"

Captain Isogai hurriedly said, "No! Don't shoot, we'll go with you."

Doihara Hamaji said with a smile, "Isoya-kun! I hereby appoint you as the regimental chief of staff and order you to lead your troops to occupy the pillbox."

"Hello!"

Captain Isogai happily accepted the order.

He assembled his troops and charged toward the pillbox.

Doihara Hamaji said happily, "Yoshi! Isogai-kun knows what's good for him and is a very good chief of staff."

When Takahashi Kosei failed to become chief of staff, he said jealously, "General! He is not worthy of being chief of staff."

"Boom! Boom!"

A series of explosions came from the direction of the pillbox.

Doihara Hamaji shook his head and said, "The pragmatic Chief of Staff Isogai was killed by a landmine fired by the Eighth Route Army."
