Spy Wars: Red Agent Codename Phoenix

Ye Ying hurriedly sent a telegram and waited for a reply.

Liu Zhengxiong scratched his head and said, "We haven't received a reply yet. Why don't we arrest the Ai Erjing brothers first?"

"No! Wait for the boss's reply."

Ye Ying and Xiao Liu refused in unison.

Liu Zhengxiong shook his head and said, "Your boss is so busy, who knows when he'll reply?"

At this time, the radio transmission sounded.

Ye Ying copied and translated the telegram, and smiled:

"The boss told us to go back to Gaojiazu in Sandouping first, keep a close eye on the Japanese spies, and play the long game to catch the big fish."

Liu Zhengxiong nodded and said, "Yes! It's not very interesting to just arrest two petty Japanese spies."

Xiao Liu suggested, "Gentlemen, why don't we have the Military Intelligence Bureau's spies keep an eye on the Ai brothers?"

Ye Ying looked at Liu Zhengxiong and smiled, "Old Liu! I think it's a good idea, what do you think?"

Liu Zhengxiong said thoughtfully, "Hmm! I think it's excellent. Having them keep an eye on the Japanese spies will definitely make them feel like you consider them your trusted confidants."

Ye Ying laughed and said, "I know you want to use someone else to do your dirty work."

Liu Zhengxiong scolded, "You brat! All you do is expose me all day long. We still need to move to Gaojiazui, hurry up and make the arrangements. Xiao Liu! Let's go for a stroll around Yuyangguan."

"Yes!"

Xiao Liu and Ye Ying accepted the order in unison.

Yichang, the new headquarters of the Bamboo Bureau.

In addition to a large number of Japanese spies, there were also thousands of Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese Yamaguchi Battalion has been ordered to come here and is now under the command of Doihara Kenji.

Doihara Hamaji was extremely pleased with himself. He summoned his officers to a meeting and loudly ordered, "Gentlemen! Our army is a unit that integrates reconnaissance, vanguard, and assault. From now on, it will be referred to as the Reconnaissance Vanguard Assault Unit."

"A reconnaissance advance team?!"

The Japanese officers were completely bewildered.

Doihara Hama said with a smile, "Yoshi! Let's call it the Vanguard Reconnaissance Unit, the Empire's only elite unit. You should be proud of it."

Japanese battalion commander Yamaguchi Naniwa shook his head and said, "General! The names of the reconnaissance and advance assault units are too bland. How about calling them the Bamboo Agency and the Yamaguchi Battalion respectively?"

Doihara Kenji's authority was challenged by a major, and he roared in fury:

"No! It must be called the reconnaissance and advance unit, to show that our army is different from others."

Takahashi Kosei said impatiently, "General! I'm almost at the front line, and you've called me back again. Quickly give me your new assignment."

Doihara Hamaji ordered, "To prevent leaks, all personnel below the rank of company commander shall stand down!"

"Hello!"

The Japanese officers below the rank of company commander acknowledged the order in unison, got up and left, leaving only a handful of people, including Yamaguchi Naniwa, Takahashi Kosei, and Koshichi.

Doihara Hamaji unfolded the map and announced loudly, "Gentlemen! We will divide into three teams: reconnaissance, vanguard, and assault. Masashi! You will lead a company to be in charge of the reconnaissance force. Naniwa! You will lead a company as the vanguard force. I, the General, will personally lead the Takegikan and the others as the assault reserve force."

"Hello!"

Takahashi Komasa happily accepted the order.

Naniwa Yamaguchi jumped to his feet and angrily said, "General Doihara! I am the battalion commander. This battalion must not be split up. Otherwise, we will leave."

Doihara Hamaru was so angry he could have teeth itched. He pulled him down to sit and said with a smile, "Yes! Yamaguchi-kun is right. Yamada-kun! Bring me the sake I've been saving. I want to drink with Yamaguchi-kun."

"Hello!"

Xiao Qi understood immediately and rushed out of the meeting room.

Knowing that Doihara Hiroki was going to poison Yamaguchi Naniwa, Takahashi Kosei couldn't afford to be poisoned himself, so he clutched his stomach and said, "Ouch! I ate a rice ball and my stomach is full of food."

After saying this, he turned and ran out.

Before long, Xiao Qi returned with the "harmful wine" specially made by Tu Feiyuan Xian'er.

He poured a large cup for both Doihara Hiroshi and Yamaguchi Naniwa, and said with a wry smile, "General! I'll go get you some more side dishes."

Doihara Hama waved his hand and said, "Go quickly! Get some pig intestines, chicken butts, sheep penises..."

"Hello!"

Xiao Qi hurriedly accepted the order, too lazy to listen to his endless list of favorite foods.

Doihara Hiroji secretly added a cup of antidote to the wine, raised his glass, and said with a smile, "Yamaguchi-kun! We hit it off immediately, come on! Cheers!"

After saying this, he picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, exclaiming dramatically, "Yosh! Good wine!"

Naniwa Yamaguchi underestimated the shamelessness of Kenji Doihara, and he raised his glass and drank it all down with him.

"Come on! Keep going!"

Doihara Hamako smiled and personally filled his cup.

Naniwa Yamaguchi shook his head and drank it down, unable to resist.

Takahashi Kosei walked into the conference room and saw Yamaguchi Naniwa looking dazed. He exclaimed in admiration:

"General! You are amazing."

Doihara Hama said domineeringly, "Hmph! Mission accomplished. Xiao Zheng! You select a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people as a reconnaissance team. I, the general, will personally lead the vanguard assault team to launch a surprise attack and quietly occupy the Shibei Fortress in China."

Takahashi Kosei said unhappily, "Didn't you tell me to lead a company on a reconnaissance mission?"

Doihara Kenji scolded, "Takahashi Kosei! Do you want to follow in Yamaguchi Naniwa's footsteps? Besides, is it really necessary to send a whole company for frontline reconnaissance?"

Takahashi Kosei said timidly, "No need! I'll go and select the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled right away."

Doihara Takeji took out a radio call sign and said with a smile, "This is the secret radio call sign of Tojo Aofu that Yokoyama gave me. Tojo Aofu has infiltrated the Chinese army. You need to establish contact with him quickly. Remember! This matter must be kept strictly confidential!"

Takahashi Kosei took the radio call sign and asked with a smile, "General! Don't you want to kill Tojo Aokaze?"

Doihara Kenji waved his hand and said, "I don't want to! Now that the Holy War of the Empire has reached a critical stage, I am determined to put aside past grievances and make great contributions to the Empire."

Takahashi Kosei said with a smile, "General! Don't make it sound so high-sounding. You probably want Tojo Aofū to help you gain military merit and become the Empire's top spy."

Doihara Hamaji nodded and said, "Yoshi! Only by being ruthless can this general surpass the Shadow Agency Chief in every way."

"General! You will never surpass the Shadow Director!"

Takahashi Kosei deliberately provoked him, then turned and ran away.

Enraged, Doihara Hamako waved his hands and roared, "Baka! This general will definitely trample the Kagemusha leader under his feet!"

Gaojiazui Village, Sandouping Town, Enshi, western Hubei.

Xiang Chu chose a secluded mountain pass as his base.

He obtained engineers from Hulian and dug numerous caves and fortified the area.

He then chose a small cave deep in the mountain pass as his and Yu Xiaowan's residence.

Yu Xiaowan asked with a smile, "Brother Chu! Are you planning to use this place as a defensive line to protect Shipai?"

Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "The Japanese have deployed a total of five divisions, so this number of people won't make much of a difference. However, if the Japanese reconnaissance and assault troops want to reach Shipai, going through here is a shortcut, and we can hold them off."

Yu Xiaowan smiled and said, "Just like in the Three Kingdoms period, we guarded the Yinping Pass, which was used by Deng Ai to launch a surprise attack on Chengdu."

Xiang Chu praised, "You know quite a bit about history! The Japanese love to launch surprise attacks, so we have to be on guard."

At this moment, Qian Fu ran to the cave entrance and reported loudly:

"Boss! Lao Liu and Ye Ying have brought the special forces team over."

Xiang Chu instructed, "Have Lao Liu and Ye Ying come over first."

"Yes!"

Qian Fu hurriedly accepted the order.
