Spy Wars: Red Agent Codename Phoenix

Xiang Chu led his men on horseback to the Yihe Bridge.

At the Yihe Bridgehead, there was a pile of fake Eighth Route Army corpses.

Xiang Chu glanced around and gave the order in a perfect Tokyo accent:

"Zhengxiong! See which unit this Eighth Route Army unit belongs to."

"Hello!"

Liu Zhengxiong bowed and accepted the order, muttering to himself:

"We absolutely mustn't kill our own people."

He dismounted and searched the fake Eighth Route Army soldier's body, finding a battle map drawn by the Japanese, battle notes, and a Japanese uniform in his backpack. A smile appeared on his face.

Xiang Chu hissed in a low voice, "Keep a cold face! Go now! Snatch that Chinese civilian's chicken."

Liu Zhengxiong asked in a low voice, "Will this work?"

"Bah!"

Xiang Chu fired a shot at the old farmer's feet, shouting angrily:

"Chinese man! Bring the chicken to the Imperial Army."

The old farmer was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, unable to move.

Xiang Chu whispered, "Old Liu! There are Japanese spies watching us. Hurry! Let this old farmer bury the Japanese soldiers' bodies, and he can keep all the money on them."

"Hello!"

Liu Zhengxiong suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly accepted the order.

In the woods east of the bridge, "Poison Eyes" and "Green Hair" stared intently at the bridgehead.

"Qingsi" took out her camera and started taking pictures nonstop.

"Poison Eye" said thoughtfully, "'Green Silk'! It seems that the one who killed the Eighth Route Army officer was the head of the Shadow Bureau!"

"Qing Si" nodded and said, "Yes! He is the director of the Shadow Agency, and he once trained me in the Special Higher Police."

"Poison Eye" laughed, "I really didn't expect that we would complete this mission so easily."

"Qing Si" retorted reproachfully, "Relaxed? This young lady was almost defiled by these Eighth Route Army soldiers, and you remained unmoved!"

"Poison Eye" shook his head and said, "I don't think the people at the bridge just now were Eighth Route Army soldiers. Why would the Eighth Route Army forcibly abduct a woman?"

"Green Silk" said domineeringly, "That's because I'm too beautiful, hmph!"

"Poison Eye" shook his head and said, "No! I think they are Imperial soldiers dressed as Eighth Route Army soldiers. Besides, do these people look like Imperial soldiers? They haven't harmed any Chinese civilians."

"Qingsi" pointed to the bridgehead and whispered, "Look! The Eighth Route Army is robbing the chickens and food of the Chinese people."

Indeed, Liu Zhengxiong, along with Xiao Liu and others, were robbing the old farmer's chicken, as well as the food of other villagers.

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

A burst of machine gun bullets flew over the heads of the two men.

Xiang Chu pointed at "Qing Si" and shouted, "Quick! Grab that pretty girl!"

"Run away!"

"Poison Eye" shouted and pulled "Green Silk" into the depths of the forest.

Yu Xiaowan said urgently, "Chief! What if they're one of our own? Don't fight!"

Xiang Chu put away his light machine gun and sneered, "They must be from the Shanghai Special Higher Police. That woman looks familiar. I'll send them back and tell Aoki Lotus that I killed these fake Eighth Route Army soldiers."

Yu Xiaowan urged in a low voice, "Let's go quickly! Uncle Liu and the others can't bring themselves to be ruthless towards the people. They're about to ruin their performance."

Xiang Chu shouted loudly, "Let's go!"

With a wave of his hand, he spurred his horse forward.

Liu Zhengxiong and the others breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed.

Shanghai Special High Section, Section Chief’s Office.

Kawashima Yoshiyuki reported: "Section Chief! 'Blue Silk' called, the head of the Shadow Agency wiped out a detachment of Eighth Route Army soldiers at the Yihe Bridge."

"real?!"

Aoki Renga exclaimed in surprise.

Kawashima Yoshiyuki nodded heavily and said, "It's absolutely true! Moreover, the head of the Shadow Agency condoned his subordinates to rob the Chinese people, and almost kidnapped 'Qingsi' thinking she was a pretty girl. 'Qingsi' took a lot of photos."

Aoki Lotus clapped her hands and laughed, "Yo-ho! My man is indeed without fault. Fangzhi! Publish this news in the newspaper, along with a photo, and spread it widely, so that the Eighth Route Army's Shadow Bureau Chief will hate you to the bone. Hehe!"

"Hello!"

Kawashima Yoshiyuki accepted the order, thinking to herself, "Chief of the Shadow Bureau! If you weren't from Japan, you'd be dragged down like Yoshiyuki."

Aoki Renga waved her away, went into the inner room, and sent a telegram to Xiang Chu: "Dear Chu Xiong! Are you fighting for the Eighth Route Army in western Shandong?"

Not long after, a reply was received: "My dear Lotus! I am spying on the enemy in southern Shandong, annihilating small groups of Eighth Route Army soldiers and enemy agents, robbing tombs and digging for treasure, and plundering money. I am preparing to buy you a luxury mansion in Tokyo."

Aoki Renka replied with a telegram: "The Shandong region is occupied by the Empire. There is no need for you to personally gather intelligence. Please return to Shanghai as soon as possible to receive new intelligence missions from headquarters."

Soon, Xiang Chu replied: "Okay! I'll be back by your side as soon as possible."

Aoki Renju was overjoyed and happily turned on the radio. The Japanese broadcaster passionately announced: "The Imperial Army is achieving victory after victory in the Pacific theater..."

She turned off the radio and sighed, "Alas! It's clearly losing ground."

Chongqing, Office of the Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Zheng Jie said with a smile, "Chief! According to a report from an inside source at the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, their ace agent, Dark Bird, has gone missing. Do you think he might be dead?"

Dai Nong was overjoyed and laughed heartily, "That's great! Haha!"

Zheng Jie's expression changed, and he said with a very serious look, "Chief! My wife is about to give birth. Could you please send someone else to Shandong?"

Dai Nong scolded, "It's not like you're the one giving birth to your wife, so why can't you go? Stop making excuses! You must find out on this trip whether Meng Xi has betrayed the Party and the country and served the Red Party and the Eighth Route Army."

Zheng Jie said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid if I find out the problem, Chu Xi will kill me. Let Shen Zhui and Wang Batian go instead. Shen Zhui's wife is so beautiful, and she hasn't planned to have children yet."

Such a double entendre made the lustful Dai Nong's mind wander.

At this moment, Wang Batian arrived at the door with a newspaper in hand and said with a grin:

"Officer Zheng! Come out here for a moment."

Dai Nong snapped, "Wang Pangzi! Come in here!"

Wang Batian stepped forward, spread the newspaper in front of him, and said with a smile:

"Great Commander! Commander Xiang killed a company of Eighth Route Army soldiers."

Dai Nong rolled his eyes at him, hurriedly picked up the newspaper to check, and after a long while, said with a lot of suspicion, "Which side is this kid on?"

Zheng Jie gave Wang Batian a thumbs up and laughed, "Director! I think we don't need to go to Shandong to investigate anymore. The Eighth Route Army will definitely hate Chu Xi to the bone when they see this news."

Dai Nong shook his head and said, "No! Let Shen Zhui and Wang Batian go instead."

Wang Batian's eyes darted around, and he said urgently, "Chief! My wife is about to give birth."

Dai Nong angrily retorted: "Who told you that both your wives would have children at the same time?"

Wang Batian looked at Zheng Jie and asked in confusion, "Officer Zheng! Didn't your wife run off with someone else?"

Zheng Jie glared at him and snapped, "Do I only have one wife? Besides, do you even have a wife?"

Dai Nong was so angry he almost jumped up, shouting, "You two have to go! Get out!"

"Yes!"

Zheng Jie and Wang Batian reluctantly accepted the order and fled.

Xian'er Spicy Soup Shop in Kaifeng, Henan.

Hiroshi Doihara forced the shop to change its name to his own.

At this moment, he was holding a bowl of spicy soup in one hand and a newspaper in the other, completely dumbfounded.

Takahashi Kosei asked in confusion, "General! Have you lost your temper?"

Doihara Hiroko took a big gulp of his spicy soup and said angrily, "The Shadow Bureau Chief killed a few Eighth Route Army soldiers and actually boasted that he was the flower of the Empire's holy war. Shameless!"

"The Flower of the Imperial Holy War?!"

Takahashi Kosei exclaimed in surprise, quickly snatched the newspaper, and praised:

"The director of the film studio is much better at publicity; you are far inferior."

Doihara Hamaji sighed, "I've gone to great lengths to file a complaint against him, but it seems I still can't bring him down."

Takahashi Kosei suggested, "General! The Imperial Army is attacking Chongqing. Why don't you recommend the Shadow Agency Chief to infiltrate Chongqing to gather intelligence, and have the Eighth Route Army send someone to assassinate him, thus eliminating your rival in love?"

Doihara Hamako exclaimed happily, "Yosh! This is called using someone else to do the dirty work. Haha!"

Takahashi Osaka asked with a smile, "General! When do you plan to go to Wuhan?"

Doihara Hama said mysteriously, "Around wintertime!"
