Spy Wars: Red Agent Codename Phoenix

Chapter 1646 Beyond This Sect Master's Imagination

On the east side of Tushan Mountain, supplies awaiting shipment are piled up like mountains.

The Fourth Brigade was responsible for transporting supplies and waiting for the horses to arrive.

The captain of the Fourth Brigade was Hu Changsheng, and the instructor was Wen Wan.

Looking at the large amount of supplies, Wen Wan said reluctantly, "Captain! If the Third Battalion can't seize the Japanese warhorses, all these supplies will have to be abandoned."

Hu Changsheng laughed and said, "Don't worry! No battle objective planned by the Commander-in-Chief will fail."

Wen Wan smiled wryly and said, "I've noticed that you guys have completely trusted the Commander-in-Chief."

Hu Changsheng nodded and said, "Yes! The Commander-in-Chief led us in battles across the north and south, both in front of and behind enemy lines..."

Wen Wan interrupted him, saying urgently, "No need to say so much, to prevent leaks."

Hu Changsheng laughed and said, "You're a shadow spy now, so you're not an outsider. But I still have to watch my mouth. Compared to Qian Fu and the others, I'm far inferior."

Wen Wan said thoughtfully, "It's likely that Deputy Captain Liu, along with Li Deshui and Ding Yizhou, will face dire consequences as they head west and north to act as bait."

Hu Changsheng nodded and said, "Yes! But this move was extremely clever."

Qian Fu rushed over and said happily, "Chang Sheng! Our army annihilated Doihara Hama's cavalry regiment and seized nearly two thousand warhorses."

Hu Changsheng said happily, "Great! That villain, Toihara Hama, is finally finished."

Wen Wan asked, "Old Qian! Isn't the commander-in-chief going to set off yet?"

Qian Fu shook his head and said, "The commander-in-chief can only set off after you have departed."

Wen Wan said urgently, "It's almost dawn. If the main force of the Japanese army arrives, will the commander-in-chief still be able to leave?"

"The commander-in-chief also wants to lead us to lay landmines in the Tushan area, leaving a big surprise for the Japanese devils who come to sweep through. The warhorses have arrived, I'm going to report to the commander-in-chief."

Qian Fu hurriedly said, then turned and rushed into the tunnel.

Before long, Liu Sen and his men arrived with their horses.

Wen Wan suggested, "Captain! There are more than enough horses to carry the goods. Let's leave some warhorses for the Commander-in-Chief, the command post, and the guards. If the Commander-in-Chief is surrounded by the Japanese, how can we fight this battle?"

Hu Changsheng nodded and said, "Alright! Let's organize the troops to load the goods first, and leave two hundred warhorses behind before we leave."

Xiao Qi rode his horse through the woods north of Zhougezhuang to this spot.

One after another, Japanese soldiers also fled over in a frenzy.

Xiao Qi asked, "Has anyone seen the general?"

A Japanese soldier responded, "I didn't see it! It might have been destroyed."

Xiao Qi was overjoyed, but feigned a sigh and said:

"Alas! The general was wise all his life, but who knew he would capsize in a ditch."

"Whose jade shattered?"

Doihara Hama's loud shout rang out.

He rushed over with Takahashi Kosei and Ninagawa Seiemon.

Xiao Qi felt extremely disappointed, but pretended to be happy and said:

"General! Please mount your horse."

Exhausted and panting, Doihara Hamo said with immense joy:

"Yoshi! Yamada Motoo is the best, he's a lifesaver."

At that moment, the radio on Ninagawa Seimon's back crackled to life.

He hurriedly took down the radio, received the message, and reported:

"Your Excellency! Commander Kobayashi Kenzaburo, the commander of the large-scale mopping-up operation, has called to inquire whether our army has been besieged by the Chinese Eighth Route Army and has been completely wiped out?"

Doihara Kenji angrily rebuked: "Kobayashi Kenzaburo is Okamura's dog. How dare he humiliate me like this! Tell him that our army, at the cost of a hundred casualties, has annihilated tens of thousands of Eighth Route Army soldiers."

Ninagawa Seimon smiled wryly and said, "Our army has less than a hundred men left. You've completely got it backwards."

Doihara Hamaji scolded, "Baka! Don't you understand? Reporting merits is a tradition of the Imperial Army."

"understood!"

Ninagawa Seimon said helplessly, and hurriedly sent a telegram.

Soon, he received a call back, reporting:

"General! Commander Kobayashi Senzaburo has ordered our army to continue the attack on the Eighth Route Army's Western Shandong Special Task Force. He will lead the main force to arrive by noon tomorrow to form an encirclement."

Doihara Hamaji mounted his horse and sneered:

"He wants me, his general, to my death? Dream on!"

"Boom!"

A shell landed not far to the southwest.

"Come on!"

Doihara Hamaru shouted and spurred his horse to gallop northeast.

Takahashi Kosei scoffed, "Our general really knows how to run away!"

Xiao Qi said with a wry smile, "If we don't run fast, he might commit suicide if he gets caught."

Ninagawa Seimon said with a grin, "Suicide? With the general's cowardly will, he will definitely surrender to the Eighth Route Army."

"Yes! He'll definitely surrender."

The three men laughed and joked as they led the Japanese soldiers in pursuit.

In Tushan, Xiang Chu led the command post and guards out of the tunnel entrance.

It was already dawn outside, and the sky was still gray.

The Fourth Detachment has taken away the supplies, leaving behind nearly two hundred warhorses at the scene.

Liu Sen hadn't left yet when he stepped forward and said, "Commander-in-Chief! These extra horses are for you."

Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "We're not running away, we don't need so many horses. Afu! Call Lao Liu and ask them where they are."

"Yes!"

Qian Fu hurriedly took the order and sent a telegram.

Shortly afterward, a telegram was received reporting:

"Commander-in-Chief! Old Liu has reached the edge of the Yellow River floodplain."

Xiang Chu instructed, "Ah Sen! Take some men and send a hundred warhorses to Old Liu. Without warhorses, it will be difficult for them to break out of the Japanese encirclement and reach Yimeng Mountain."

Liu Sen replied decisively, "Yes!"

He led a hundred warhorses and galloped westward, raising clouds of dust.

Ning Qin was also at the command post, pointing to the red flag fluttering on Tushan Mountain, and asked in confusion:

"Command post! Aren't we taking our red flag with us?"

Xiang Chu laughed and said, "We buried landmines under every red flag, to give the Japanese soldiers who pulled up the flag a little surprise."

At that moment, the roar of airplanes could be heard from the sky.

Ning Qin and the others exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no! Enemy planes are coming!"

Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "It's just a Japanese reconnaissance plane. Don't panic. Let's lead the horses into the woods and hide them."

"Yes!"

Everyone accepted the order in unison.

A Japanese reconnaissance plane flew overhead, circled Tushan twice, and then flew northwest.

Needless to say, the Japanese reconnaissance plane followed the dust and chased after Liu Sen.

Xiang Chu led the command post and guards out of the woods and headed southeast.

Shanghai Special High Section, Section Chief’s Office.

Kawashima Yoshiyuki happily reported: "Section Chief! The 'peddler' called and said that he infiltrated Tushan and found out that the leader of the Eighth Route Army's Luxi Special Task Force is named Lü Zheng. The task force currently has about five or six thousand people."

Aoki Renka shook her head and said, "That's not right! Lü Zheng was driven around by the deputy sect leader and Toihara Hiroki, and he had less than two hundred men under his command. He simply didn't have the ability to grow his army to this size."

Kawashima Yoshiyuki asked doubtfully, "Section Chief! Do you believe that the information obtained by the 'peddler' was deliberately leaked to him by the Eighth Route Army?"

Aoki Lotus nodded and said, "Yes! The leader of this unit is extremely capable and cunning, beyond my imagination. You should give the 'peddler' another order to join the Eighth Route Army. You must find out who the leader of the Luxi Special Task Force is."

"Hello!"

Kawashima Yoshizhi bowed and accepted the order.
