Spy Wars: Red Agent Codename Phoenix

Chapter 1663 A desperate battle with the 8th Route Army

Chongqing, the underground secret room of Zeng Mansion.

Ono Kikuko disguised herself as a plainclothes man and came to secretly meet Zeng Yun.

Zeng Yun said with a smile, "Miss Ju Zi! I didn't expect you to be in Chongqing too."

Ono Kikuko said respectfully, "Vice Sect Leader! Kikuko was ordered by the Sect Leader to come and control Elder Xie, but I didn't expect him to control me with drugs. Fortunately, Ah Xiang got the antidote from the Sect Leader, and then she was able to control Elder Xie instead."

Zeng Yun nodded and asked with a smile, "Is Elder Xie currently wholeheartedly serving my Green Wood Gate?"

Kikuko Ono shook her head and said, "He's not completely devoted yet. He always makes excuses when asked to provide information. Besides, he's still in contact with people like Hiroshi Doihara."

Zeng Yun said bitterly, "If he doesn't obey again, we'll get rid of him."

Ono Kikuko laughed and said, "Vice Sect Leader! We can't let him die in vain. We must make sure he dies a worthy death."

Zeng Yun nodded and instructed, "Miss Ju Zi! The sect leader must thoroughly investigate Lord Chu, who is also the head of the Shadow Agency, and find out which forces he is serving. You are in charge of this matter. Be sure to keep it confidential and do not tell anyone else."

Ono Kikuko asked in confusion, "Vice Sect Leader! Isn't the Shadow Agency Chief the Sect Leader's husband? Why are you still investigating?"

Zeng Yun scolded, "Ju Zi! Is this a question you should be asking? You must get close to the people at the Chu Mansion and find out the secret about Master Chu. Go!"

"Hello!"

Kikuko bowed and accepted the order, then turned and left the secret room.

Zeng Yun took out a stack of Xiang Chu's photos and said with a wry smile, "Sect Leader! Even if the Shadow Bureau Chief serves the Chinese government, are you really capable of killing him?"

Yishan, the command post of the special task force.

Xiang Chu, Liu Zhengxiong, Zhang Fei, and Gan Rong are discussing combat tactics.

Liu Sen rushed into the command post and reported loudly, "Commander! The Japanese and puppet troops have surrounded us from all four directions, about 40,000 men."

Xiang Chu clenched his fist and said, "Good! After waiting for so long, you've finally arrived."

Liu Zhengxiong said irritably, "Commander! Other units run faster than rabbits when they hear the Japanese are coming. But you're worried the Japanese won't come."

Xiang Chu laughed and said, "We are focused on fighting the Japanese, and we are willing to risk our lives. How can other troops compare? Chief of Staff! Instruct all troops to hide and not move, and create the illusion that there are no soldiers on the mountain."

"Yes!"

Zhang Fei hurriedly accepted the order.

Liu Zhengxiong shouted, "The Japanese aren't stupid, how could they not know there are soldiers on the mountain?"

Xiang Chu laughed and said, "Before the Japanese attack the mountain, they will definitely make ample artillery preparations. If we don't show ourselves and let the Japanese bombard us, we will waste their shells. Chief Instructor! Go and urge the artillery battalion not to even expose the gun barrels."

Gan Rong asked with a smile, "Commander! Actually, we can take the opportunity to fire all the poison gas bombs downwind and teach the Japanese a lesson."

Xiang Chu said irritably, "How can you use poison gas? But you're the artillery commander, so you decide what to do."

"Yes!"

Gan Rong happily accepted the order.

Liu Zhengxiong shook his head and said, "Commander! Actually, you are very enthusiastic about using poison gas against the Japanese."

Xiang Chu rebuked, "The poison gas bombs were produced by the Japanese. What's wrong with letting them smell them?"

Liu Zhengxiong said with a smile, "Perfect! Absolutely perfect. I'll ask permission to lead the Fourth Battalion down the mountain tunnel to outflank the Japanese and blow up their supplies."

Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "No! Kobayashi Sensanro is cautious and meticulous; the supplies and provisions will definitely be heavily guarded."

Liu Zhengxiong retorted indignantly, "How could that be? You don't want me to go, so you're just making up this lame excuse. Heh heh!"

Xiang Chu scolded, "The tunnel down the mountain is our trump card for escaping. We absolutely cannot expose it beforehand, do you understand?"

At this moment, Liu Sen rushed in again and reported loudly:

"Commander! The Japanese commander, Kobayashi Kenzaburo, has sent an interpreter with a white flag to the foot of the mountain, urging our army to surrender immediately, or they will bombard Yishan Mountain flat."

Xiang Chu sneered, "Bullshit! How many shells does he have? He thinks he can flatten Mount Yi? That's just wishful thinking. Ah Sen! Detain the translator and force him to fight the Japanese. If he doesn't, shoot him on the spot."

"Yes!"

Liu Sen hurriedly accepted the order.

Liu Zhengxiong quickly grabbed him and instructed, "Asen! Ask the Japanese translator if the Japanese supplies and provisions are heavily guarded."

Liu Sen laughed and said, "I'll just call and ask."

After speaking, he picked up the phone, asked a few questions, and then laughed:

"Old Liu! You were right, there are indeed heavy guards."

Liu Zhengxiong waved his hand and said, "No! The squad leader was right."

Xiang Chu used binoculars to observe the Japanese soldiers below the mountain, then shook his head and said:

"The enemy's elite troops are coming; a bloody battle is about to begin."

"Boom! Boom!"

The Japanese artillery fired a hundred cannons simultaneously, with shells whistling in from the north and west.

The explosion was deafening, venting the Japanese soldiers' fury.

Shells rained down on Mount Yi, sending rocks flying and burning vegetation.

The bombardment lasted for a full half hour, and there was still no sign of it stopping.

Liu Zhengxiong said worriedly, "Commander! With the way the Japanese are bombing, did they bring a whole train carload of artillery shells?"

Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "Impossible! The Japanese railway was destroyed by Zhang Fei and his men, how can the trains get here? Don't worry! The Japanese have used up most of their shells."

Indeed, the sound of exploding shells gradually subsided.

The sound of Japanese soldiers charging could be heard from down the mountain.

Liu Zhengxiong asked in confusion, "The Japanese are about to attack the mountain, why hasn't Master Gan launched the poison gas yet?"

Xiang Chu picked up his binoculars to observe and laughed, "Because the Japanese are too far away, it won't have a very good effect."

Liu Zhengxiong laughed and said, "Old Gan is really good at keeping his cool!"

"Boom! Boom!"

Suddenly, several cannons fired simultaneously from the mountain, launching an attack on the Japanese soldiers charging down the mountain.

The shells landed in the Japanese troops' ranks, releasing green gas.

The Japanese soldiers had no idea that the Eighth Route Army had poison gas bombs. They didn't even wear gas masks, and they inhaled the poison gas and collapsed in droves.

Southeast of Mount Yi, Kobayashi Senzaburo's command post.

Heiji Kazuo said bitterly, "Commander! The Eighth Route Army's Luxi Special Task Force murdered our negotiating interpreter and used poison gas. It's utterly despicable."

Kobayashi Kenzaburo sneered, "There aren't many Eighth Route Army soldiers on the mountain; they're just making a last-ditch effort. Chief of Staff! Order the entire army to attack and completely annihilate the Eighth Route Army."

"Hello!"

Heiji Ichiro accepted the order without hesitation.

Kobayashi Kenzaburo picked up his binoculars and exclaimed excitedly, "Yoshi! The Imperial army has already stormed Mount Yi!"

"Boom! Clatter! Bang!"

Suddenly, hundreds of cannons opened fire on the mountain, and hundreds of machine guns and thousands of guns fired simultaneously.

"Whoosh!"

A shell pierced through the command post tent and blasted into the ammunition depot not far behind.

"Boom! Boom!"

The bombs in the ammunition depot were detonated with a deafening roar.

Kobayashi Kenzaburo and the others were so frightened that they lay on the ground, trembling.

The Japanese soldiers who rushed up the mountain were frantically slaughtered by the crossfire from the bunkers.

The mountains and fields were filled with the sounds of gunfire and the wails of Japanese soldiers being killed.

The Japanese intelligence officer reported: "Commander! The frontline troops are facing a setback and request a withdrawal."

Kobayashi Kenzaburo shouted, "No retreat! Keep charging! Fight the Eighth Route Army to the death!"
