Spy Wars: Red Agent Codename Phoenix

Qian Fu took the telegram and entered the cave to report:

"Boss! Call from Chongqing."

Xiang Chu took the telegram, glanced at it, and handed it to Yu Xiaowan, saying with a wry smile:

“We’ve been forcibly controlling deserters, and someone has filed a complaint with Chongqing.”

Yu Xiaowan said resentfully, "Hmph! These people hide in the rear and talk without any sense of the pain. They have no idea how fierce the fighting is on the front lines!"

Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "No matter what they say! Our top priority is to cooperate with Lao Hu to guard the stone tablet. Afu! Call Fugui over and have him guard the radio station in the cave."

"Yes!"

Qian Fu hurriedly accepted the order.

Xiang Chu walked to the observation point and picked up his binoculars to observe the pontoon bridge.

On the pontoon bridge, many defeated soldiers were still crossing the river in a panic.

Among them, some of the routed soldiers would occasionally turn their heads and look back.

Liu Zhengxiong, accompanied by military police, confiscated the weapons of deserters at the bridgehead.

The disobedient soldiers were pushed into a nearby cave and imprisoned.

Those defeated soldiers who had submitted to the control were taken in by Xiao Liu and incorporated into the special operations regiment.

Yu Xiaowan stepped forward and asked, "Brother Chu! Have you spotted any disguised Japanese soldiers?"

Xiang Chu handed her the binoculars and pointed towards the Qingjiang River, saying, "They're here! Look at those fleeing soldiers who keep turning their heads; they're all Japanese soldiers in disguise."

Yu Xiaowan exclaimed in surprise, "My God! So many people have come!"

Xiang Chu instructed, "Fu Gui! Notify Lao Liu that the Japanese agents are here. Even if they hand over their weapons, they should be locked up in the cave."

"Yes!"

Ma Fugui hurriedly accepted the order.

Yu Xiaowan said worriedly, "Brother Chu! There must be some of our own people among the defeated soldiers. Should we lock them all up too?"

Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! Only by locking them up first can we identify them one by one."

Yu Xiaowan asked with a smile, "How did you check them one by one?"

Xiang Chu laughed and said, "We can give them guns and let them fight the Japanese."

Yu Xiaowan said angrily, "The Japanese agents have guns, and they will definitely turn around and shoot us."

Xiang Chu smiled mysteriously and said, "What if the guns were all filled with blanks? Would that help identify the Japanese soldiers?"

Yu Xiaowan smiled and said, "Sure! Absolutely! Tell Uncle Liu right away."

Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! I told you beforehand to watch Lao Liu's performance."

At the head of the Qingjiang pontoon bridge, Liu Zhengxiong and Xiao Liu were already on high alert.

Xiao Liu looked at the bridge and whispered, "Chief of Staff! Boss has a sharp eye. Although the people who came are wearing Japanese military uniforms, they are definitely Japanese spies."

Liu Zhengxiong asked in confusion, "Strange! Why can't I recognize him?"

Xiao Liu laughed and said, "Bowlegs, looking back every few steps, fierce eyes, not at all like a deserter."

Liu Zhengxiong nodded and said, "You know what! It really is like that. According to the established plan, we will confiscate their weapons, then lock them up in the cave and screen them in batches."

Xiao Liu asked anxiously, "What if they don't hand over their weapons?"

Liu Zhengxiong pulled back the bolt of his gun and sneered, "Then kill them all!"

Several Japanese agents were stopped at the bridgehead. Liu Sen and his men rushed forward and disarmed them with lightning speed. Shouting and shoving, they entered the cave.

This scene was witnessed by Takashi Kosei, who was in the woods on the east bank of the Qingjiang River.

The Japanese company commander said angrily, "Chief of staff! The Chinese military police have spotted our men. Let's attack!"

Takahashi Kosei glanced at him and shook his head, saying, "Captain Yamaguchi! Didn't you realize that these Chinese military police are conducting a routine inspection? Every person crossing the river is first detained, and then released and reorganized."

The Japanese company commander at Yamaguchi picked up his binoculars and observed carefully. He nodded and said, "Yes! That's right."

Takahashi Kosei ordered: "Call General Doihara! Tell him that our troops have crossed the Qingjiang pontoon bridge and infiltrated the Chinese army. Tell him to speed up the march and take Shipai in one fell swoop."

"Hah!"

The Japanese radio operator bowed and accepted the order.

Company Commander Yamaguchi asked impatiently, "Chief of Staff! Nojiri Company has crossed the river and successfully infiltrated the Chinese army. Shall we move out immediately?"

After thinking for a moment, Takahashi Kosei instructed, "Yamaguchi-kun! The radio operator and I will stay behind to receive General Doihara's telegram. You must immediately lead your troops across the river."

"Hah!"

Squad leader Yamaguchi hurriedly accepted the order.

Southeast of Yuyang Pass, on a rugged mountain road.

Doihara Hiroji, carrying a large sword and riding on the back of an ox, led the Sakai brigade slowly eastward.

Japanese troops would occasionally pass by him, curiously watching this general carrying a sword.

Doihara Hamaru scolded, "What are you looking at? I am the Japanese god, and I am comparable to Guan Yu of China."

Taro Sakai smiled wryly and said, "General! They must be questioning why we're not going to the front lines."

Doihara Hiroji didn't want to be at the forefront, so he pretended to be confused and said, "Sakai-kun! Aren't we going to the front lines?"

Taro Sakai shook his head and said, "No! The front line is in the west; you are marching east now."

To show off his knowledge, Doihara Hamaji said with a smile, "Sakai-kun! Is the Earth round?"

Taro Sakai nodded and said, "Yes!"

Doihara Hamaji waved his hand and said, "Then that's settled! Our army just keeps marching east, circling the earth, and we'll be back here, right?"

Taro Sakai laughed and said, "The general is absolutely right. However, it will take at least two years to return to this starting point, so we should turn back and head west."

Doihara Hamo jumped off the ox's back and said angrily, "This general must have an in-depth discussion with you about this profound topic, and see how long it takes."

At this moment, the radio operator stepped forward and reported: "Your Excellency! Chief of Staff Takahashi has called to say that they have crossed the Qingjiang pontoon bridge and infiltrated the Chinese army. Please speed up the march and take Shipai in one fell swoop."

Doihara Hamaji was overjoyed and laughed loudly, "Yoshi! The greatest credit belongs to me, General! Haha!"

"You fat pig, you idiot! What are you laughing at?"

A contemptuous and mocking voice suddenly rang out.

Doihara Kenji looked closely at the sound and saw that Akashi Hiroshi was actually mixed in with the Japanese soldiers who were marching at full speed. He mocked, "I'm laughing at you! You only just got here now."

Chi Lu Xun pointed at him and shouted, "You fled the battlefield to the east, and you dare to mock your division commander!"

Doihara Hama handed him the telegram and said with a smile, "You brat, Akashi! My vanguard has crossed the Qingjiang Bridge and infiltrated the Chinese garrison."

Akashi received the telegram, filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"Pfft!"

He was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Doihara Hamaji snatched the telegram and said smugly:

"The credit for capturing Chongqing belongs to none other than this general."

"Report!"

The radio operator rushed over and reported loudly:

"Your Excellency! Chief of Staff Takahashi has called to say that the Chinese garrison has seen through their plan and has wiped out the infiltrating forces."

Doihara Kenji snatched the telegram, his face turning deathly pale.

Red Deer was overjoyed, patting his big fat face and laughing loudly, "Fat Pig Tufei! Your credit is gone. Haha!"

Enraged, Doihara Hama roared, "Baka! This general will take revenge and annihilate the Qingjiang pontoon bridge team of China!"

Chi Lu Xun sneered, "You stupid general! You know nothing. That unit is called the Iron-Blooded Special Forces Division."

Ignoring him, Doihara Hiroki loudly ordered, "Calling Commander Yokoyama, order him to immediately send planes to bomb the Qingjiang pontoon bridge."

"Hah!"

The Japanese radio operator hurriedly accepted the order.

Chi Lu Xun shook his head and said, "If you blow up the pontoon bridge, how will our army cross the river?"

Doihara Kenji patted his skinny face and said with a smile, "Red Deer Boy! We can cross the Qingjiang River in the shallow waters, circle around to the back of the Chinese Iron-Blooded Special Forces Division, and wipe them out in one fell swoop."
