Spy Wars: Red Agent Codename Phoenix

Yuyang Pass is a strategically important and dangerous pass in western Hubei.

Taro Sakai rallied the remnants of the defeated Japanese troops.

In a short period of time, the fortifications of Yuyangguan were reinforced.

The troops from the Sixth War Zone launched an attack, but the Japanese resisted fiercely, resulting in heavy casualties for the attacking forces.

The inability to capture Yuyang Pass immediately greatly impacted the overall war situation.

Minister Chen paced anxiously in the command post as battle reports poured in like snowflakes.

Wu Shi suggested, "Minister! Let Advisor Chu take the lead in attacking Yuyang Pass."

Minister Chen shook his head and said, "That would expose him. You can send a telegram to ask him how to attack Yuyang Pass."

"Yes!"

Wu Shi hurriedly accepted the order and sent a telegram.

Shortly after, I received a reply, which read aloud:

"Lure the snake out of its hole, surround it from three sides, overtake and pursue..."

Minister Chen clapped his hands and praised, "Great plan! The Iron-Blooded Special Forces Division will be responsible for intercepting the fleeing Japanese soldiers."

Wu Shi nodded and said, "Yes!"

Changyang East, Wild Boar Gorge.

The canyon is deep and secluded, with a highway winding through it.

The Iron-Blooded Special Forces Division has already marched here to ambush and await the Japanese troops fleeing from Yuyang Pass.

Liu Zhengxiong shook his head and said, "Advisor, is it possible for the Japanese troops to abandon Yuyangguan and retreat from here?"

Xiang Chu laughed and said, "Giving the Japanese at Yuyang Pass a glimmer of hope, how could they not seize the opportunity?"

Liu Zhengxiong stubbornly said, "The Japanese will definitely defend Yuyang Pass to the death."

Yu Xiaowan said, annoyed, "Uncle Liu! What if the Japanese come?"

Liu Zhengxiong shouted, "Then I'll just devour the Japanese devils alive!"

Wang Zizai rushed over and said excitedly, "Boss! The Japanese are here, there are about five hundred of them."

Yu Xiaowan laughed and said, "Uncle Liu! Go and devour the Japanese devils alive!"

Liu Zhengxiong retorted, "Daughter! I didn't say anything. Advisor! Shall we fight or not?"

Xiang Chu shouted, "Fight! What are you waiting for?"

After speaking, he raised his sniper rifle and fired a shot at the leading Japanese officer.

The Japanese officer in charge was Taro Sakai, who was killed by Xiang Chu with a single shot.

The special forces soldiers, who were lying in ambush on both sides of the mountain road, opened fire fiercely on the Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese soldiers were well-trained and continued to resist in an organized manner even after their commander was killed.

Xiang Chu ordered, "Old Liu! Order all units to stop wasting bullets and annihilate the Japanese as quickly as possible."

As Liu Zhengxiong fired his gun, he said, "Can't we conserve some firepower? We still need to keep chasing the Japanese!"

Xiang Chu scolded, "Stop being so long-winded! If we wipe out these Japanese devils, we'll have bullets, right?"

"Understood!"

Liu Zhengxiong suddenly realized what was happening and loudly ordered:

"Take it easy! Tell the brothers not to hold back their ammunition and wipe out these Japanese devils."

"Yes!"

Wang Zizai hurriedly accepted the order and issued it.

"Boom! Boom!"

Shells rained down on the Japanese soldiers.

Xiang Chu was surprised to see artillery shells fired and scolded, "You old bastard Liu! Do you know how hard it was for us to collect all these shells? I'm telling you to use up all your bullets, not all your shells."

Liu Zhengxiong pointed downwards and laughed, "Didn't you want to wipe out all the Japanese devils? Well, here they are."

Indeed, after several volleys of fire from grenade launchers and Type 92 infantry guns, the Japanese soldiers were almost wiped out.

Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "These Japanese devils are already trapped like turtles in a jar, why waste them like this? I still want to use artillery shells to attack the stronghold and fight my way into Yichang."

Liu Zhengxiong exclaimed in surprise, "Are we going to attack Yichang again?"

Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Of course! The Japanese are like frightened birds, desperately fleeing eastward, which is the perfect opportunity for us to pursue and annihilate them."

Yu Xiaowan shook her head and said, "We're afraid our friendly forces are more eager to take credit than we are to do this."

Liu Zhengxiong shouted, "Why should we? We are death warriors who came down from Gaojialing!"

At this moment, Qian Fu rushed over and reported:

"Boss! Seventh Brother called. Doihara Hamako is not dead and has arrived in Yichang."

Xiang Chu said bitterly, "That utterly wicked fellow is incredibly lucky to be alive!"

Before long, the gunfire gradually subsided, and the Japanese soldiers were wiped out.

With the battlefield cleared, the Ironblood Special Forces Division continued their pursuit eastward.

Inside a steamship at the Yichang Yangtze River Wharf.

Doihara Hamako sat in the cabin, drinking with Ushijima Sekiko.

Ushijima Sekiko asked in confusion, "General! Why are we staying on this steamship instead of going into Yichang City?"

Doihara Hamaji swirled his wine glass and said with a smile, "Secret! Do you think Akashiro can defend Yichang City?"

Without hesitation, Ushijima Sekiko replied, "Of course! The Imperial Army has built a large number of permanent fortifications in Yichang City, which can be said to be impregnable. The Chinese army lacks artillery and simply cannot break in."

Doihara Hama nodded and said with a wry smile, "Akashika Hiroshi's forces have been reduced by more than half, and the number of usable troops is extremely limited. Even if we can hold out, it will be a very fierce battle. Once Takahashi Kosei gets the diesel fuel, we'll leave immediately."

Ushijima Sekiko asked with a smile, "General! Aren't we waiting for Sakai Taro?"

Doihara Kenji waved his hand and said, "According to my prediction, Sakai Taro is probably already gone. Oh well! He's dead, so be it. May he go to Yasukuni Shrine soon."

At this moment, the hatch was slowly opened.

Xiaoqi walked in, tears streaming down her face, and said:

"General! Sakai's entire army has been wiped out."

Doihara Hamaji looked up and cried out loudly, "Alas! My troops have been wiped out once again! How sorrowful! Waaah!"

Xiao Qi comforted him, saying, "General, victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. Please take heart!"

"Sakai-kun! May you rest in peace."

Doihara Hamako wailed loudly, giving the impression that his dearest and most beloved person had died.

Ushijima Sekiko laughed and said, "General! Stop acting. Just now you said that you wished Sakai Taro would go to Yasukuni Shrine soon."

Doihara Hamaji scolded, "Go and see if Takahashi Kosei has returned yet."

Sekiko Ushijima said angrily, "General! Where are you going to find Takahashi Kosei?"

Doihara Hiroko had no way to deal with her and looked helplessly at Xiaoqi.

Xiao Qi said urgently, "General! I'm going to find Takahashi-kun."

At that moment, Takahashi Kosei rushed in and said urgently:

"Your Excellency General! The Chinese army, led by the Iron-Blooded Special Forces Division, has captured important towns such as Yidu, Zhijiang, Yangxi, Songzi, Mopanzhou, and Shenjindu, and is approaching Gong'an. They will soon be attacking Yichang City."

"Wow?! Such a rapid advance!"

Doihara Hama exclaimed, his face filled with terror.

Takahashi Kosei said urgently, "General! I have obtained diesel fuel, enough for the steamship to reach Wuhan. Let's go!"

Doihara Hama nodded and said, "Yoshi! Quickly tell the captain to set sail."

"Hah!"

Takahashi Kosei hurriedly accepted the order.

At this moment, a Japanese major entered the cabin and said respectfully:

"General! The commander of the Red Deer Division requests your presence."

Doihara Hamaji said with a smile, "Why do you need me, General?"

The Japanese major bowed and said, "Please come and help defend Yichang City."

Doihara Kenji handed a fake telegram to the major, and said with a wry smile:

"Major! General Headquarters has issued an order for me to go to North China to promote the cultivation of opium and continue to poison the Chinese people."

The major took the telegram, glanced at it, and shook his head, saying, "General! Your telegram is outdated. The commander of the Red Deer Division has just consulted with headquarters and ordered you to enter Yichang City immediately and perish with it."

Doihara Hamaji stood up, nodded, and said, "Major! You go ashore first and wait for me."

The major shook his head and said, "No! I must escort you to see Commander Akashi Division."

With a loud "bang!"

Doihara Hamaji knocked him unconscious with a single punch and gave the order:

"Takahashi-kun! Order the captain to leave the shore immediately. Yamada-kun! When the boat reaches the middle of the river, put this major in a sack and throw him into the Yangtze River."

"Hah!"

Xiaoqi and Takahashi Kosei hurriedly accepted the order.
