Spy Wars: Red Agent Codename Phoenix

Chapter 1675 The Years of War in Jinggang Mountains

Takahashi Kosei said happily, "General! I can serve as Chief of Staff."

Doihara Hamaji shook his head and said, "No! This position is too dangerous, you'd better not take it."

Takahashi Kosei said urgently, "Kosei is not afraid of danger and is willing to die in his post as chief of staff."

Touched by his persistence, Doihara Hamako nodded and said:

"Alright! You'll temporarily act as chief of staff. Go and assemble the troops."

"Hello!"

Takahashi Komasa happily accepted the order.

Masuko Yoshio also wanted to become chief of staff, but when his hopes were dashed, he decided to leave.

He said respectfully, "Teacher! Fang Xiong wants to lead the advance team to infiltrate the Eighth Route Army Special Task Force to gather intelligence for you, so that we can work together from the inside and outside to defeat them in one fell swoop."

Doihara Hamako said happily, "Yoshi! Fang Xiong! You must find out who the commander of the Eighth Route Army Special Task Force is."

"Hello!"

Masuko Mataxiong bowed to accept the order.

He led his advance team, taking a roundabout route to the road east of the pillbox.

Xiaoqi walked up to Doihara Hamako and said with a wry smile:

"General! You have been deceived by Masuko Kazuo."

Doihara Hamaji was taken aback, then shook his head and said:

"Impossible! Fang Xiong infiltrated the Eighth Route Army to gather intelligence for me."

Ninagawa Seimon reminded him, "General! Masuko Yoshio is trying to break away from you to complete the task given to him by Kobayashi Zenzaburo."

Doihara Hamako suddenly realized what was going on and loudly ordered:

"Saiseimon! Call Masuko Kazuo back."

"Hello!"

Ninagawa Seimon hurriedly accepted the order and turned on the radio to make a call.

However, Masuko Masao did not reply.

Doihara Hama sighed, "Alas! I've been deceived by this heartless bastard."

At this moment, Takahashi Kosei had gathered the remaining troops, which numbered over two thousand.

Takahashi Osaka suggested, "General! Our army has sufficient troops and can wipe out the Eighth Route Army Special Task Force."

Doihara Hamaji shook his head and said, "No! The Eighth Route Army Special Task Force is too strong and difficult to deal with. Our army should pick on the weak and win a great victory, so that I, the general, can be great again."

Takahashi Kosei asked, puzzled, "Then where are we going?"

Doihara Hamaji opened the map, pointed to eastern Shandong, and said:

"Head to Jiaodong! This general is going to launch a bloody sweep in Jiaodong."

Takahashi Kosei said with a grin, "Yoshi! We've swept up apples from Yantai, pears from Laiyang, dates from Zhanhua, and shrimp from Qingdao..."

Are you a pig?

Doihara Hamaji scolded, pointing southeast, and loudly commanded:

"Let's take the highway and detour to Jiaodong, let's go!"

"Boom! Boom!"

A series of explosions came from the road east of the pillbox.

The Masuko advance team stepped on a landmine, resulting in numerous casualties.

Doihara Hama exclaimed in surprise, "The Eighth Route Army Special Task Force is terrifying; they even planted landmines on the highways."

Takahashi Osaka asked with a grin, "General! Shall we rescue Masuko's assault team?"

Doihara Hamaru sneered, "Masuko Kazuo is ruthless and unjust. What kind of rescue would I, the general, possibly provide!"

At this moment, Ninagawa Seiemon received a telegram reporting: "General! Commander Okamura has telegraphed you, ordering you to take your troops to Wuhan, report to Commander Tsukada of the 11th Army, and participate in the campaign to capture Chongqing."

Doihara Kenji said smugly, "It seems that Okamura, the skinny monkey, is afraid of me and recommended me to Tsukada Takumi."

Takahashi Kosei asked with a smile, "General! Are you abandoning your plans for germ warfare in Guantao and the bloody purge in Jiaodong?"

Doihara Hiroji instructed, "Saiemon! Telegraph Okamura, inform him of these two plans, and treat it as a reward that he will not pursue the matter of my defeat in battle."

"Hello!"

Ninagawa Nishiemon bowed and accepted the order.

Doihara Hamako mounted his horse, pointed southwest, and shouted loudly:

"Yellow Crane Tower! I, Xian'er, have arrived. Xiao Zheng! March west to Wuhan!"

"Hello!"

Takahashi Komasa hurriedly accepted the order.

Mengyin, Daigu Village.

Zhu Dalong entered Lü Zheng's residence and said happily:

"Uncle Lü! The deputy commander and Brother Liu have arrived."

"Old Lu! Your place is so hard to find."

Liu Zhengxiong's loud shout rang out, and he dragged Xiao Liu in.

Lu Zheng said with a smile, "That's great! I've been looking forward to it every day, and you two have finally arrived."

Liu Zhengxiong laughed and said, "You want to see your eldest son, don't you? Come here! Give him a hug."

He pushed Xiao Liu into Lü Zheng's arms, forcing the father and son to hug.

After exchanging pleasantries, we got down to business.

Xiao Liu questioned, "Captain Lü! You call yourself a veteran special agent, but now that there's a spy among your men, don't you suspect the target?"

Liu Zhengxiong said irritably, "You brat! How dare you ask your father that? Go out for a walk with Dalong, I'll have a chat with your father."

"Let's go! Sixth Brother."

Zhu Dalong pulled Xiao Liu away from the command post.

Lu Zheng hurriedly said, "It's alright! You're the inspection team after all."

Liu Zhengxiong shook his head and said, "They're both engaged, yet they still have such bad tempers."

Lu Zheng asked in confusion, "Little Liu! Who was Xiao Liu engaged to?"

Liu Zhengxiong said with a smile, "Oh! We wiped out a Japanese special agent team in Beidanxiahe Village, Mianchi, and rescued the villagers. Among them was a beautiful girl named Li Cuilan..."

After Lu Zheng finished speaking, he was startled and exclaimed in surprise:

"You said Li Cuilan asked you to find her brother, Li Yu? Is there any distinguishing feature?"

Liu Zhengxiong took out a photo and handed it to Lü Zheng, smiling, "Li Yu has a black mole on his forehead and chin. Did you see it when you were in Yan'an?"

Lu Zheng took the photo, stood up in shock, and muttered to himself:

"Li Yu! Your family members weren't killed by the Japanese. Are you a spy?"

Liu Zhengxiong exclaimed in astonishment, "Old Lü! You know Li Yu?"

Lu Zheng took out the personnel roster and handed it to him, saying solemnly, "Li Yu's current name is Li Yu. He is currently the chief of staff of the Third Brigade. I now strongly suspect that he is a White Party spy who has been lying in wait."

"real?!"

Liu Zhengxiong exclaimed in surprise, hurriedly picked up the roster to take a look, and said urgently:

"How can you be sure he's a White Party agent?"

Lu Zheng said thoughtfully, "His concealment of his true identity and his falsification of his family's situation are enough to prove it."

Liu Zhengxiong nodded and asked, "Where is Fisherman Li?"

Lu Zheng pointed down the mountain and said, "He took a battalion down the mountain to fight the Japanese and recruit ambitious young people to join the Eighth Route Army. I'm worried that he went down the mountain to make contact with his superiors."

Liu Zhengxiong asked urgently, "How many of our secrets does this person know?"

Lu Zheng frowned and said, "He stayed in Yan'an and has been following me around Shandong for the past two years. He must know a lot of secrets. But I haven't told him anything that concerns you."

Liu Zhengxiong nodded and suggested, "Old Lü! If Li Yu is indeed a spy, he is very likely a multi-faceted one. Just in case, I suggest that the troops move out of here as soon as possible."

Lu Zheng stood up and hurriedly said, "Okay! I'll assemble the troops right away."

Liu Zhengxiong shook his head and said, "No! We still need to be tight on the inside but loose on the outside, without revealing any flaws."

Lü Zheng laughed and said, "You little rascal! You were such a coward back in Jinggangshan, but you've grown up following Chu Yazi."

Liu Zhengxiong exclaimed, "Brother Lü! If I don't grow up soon, I'll be completely old! Haha!"

The two men burst into laughter, as if they had returned to the war-torn years of Jinggang Mountain.
