Spy Wars: Red Agent Codename Phoenix

Chapter 1728 One Day Blood Debts Will Be Amortized

Liu Zhengxiong said urgently, "No! I need to take people to investigate immediately."

Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "You're playing me now, so you don't need to get involved in this kind of thing. Let Ye Ying and the others investigate."

Liu Zhengxiong said with a wry smile, "You are famous all over the world and incredibly handsome, but everyone knows I'm a fake."

Yu Xiaowan said, annoyed, "Uncle Liu! Isn't it just that you need others to know that you're a fake?"

Liu Zhengxiong laughed and said, "That's right! It's true that Lord Chu was a coward in Chongqing. I'm just using him as an analogy."

Xiang Chu snapped, "Get out! How can you describe people like that?"

At this time, the radio transmission sounded.

Yu Xiaowan hurriedly copied and translated the telegram and reported: "Brother Chu! Xiao Liu called and said that they intercepted Ai Erjing in Daliushu Village and found a hand-drawn map of the troop deployment on the western Hubei front. Ai Erjing committed suicide during the arrest."

Xiang Chu praised, "Not bad! Xiao Liu and the others' pursuit was worthwhile."

Liu Zhengxiong laughed and said, "It's none of my business. I'll be going now."

Xiang Chu took out a small booklet and handed it to him, instructing him: "Old Liu! The special forces personnel are confused and of poor quality. We must first forge their souls, change their thinking, and firmly establish their honor and mission to fight for their country."

Liu Zhengxiong took the booklet and laughed, "Isn't this the old trick we used when building up the Langya Mountain, Wuxing Mountain, and Yi Mountain troops? I know it very well."

Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! Only in this way can we build an elite army that does not require military pay and will fight to the death without retreating."

Liu Zhengxiong hurriedly said, "No military pay? They are not the Eighth Route Army or the New Fourth Army; they can't do without military pay."

Xiang Chu was taken aback, then nodded and said, "Yes! Their awareness is not high enough, so we still need to give them appropriate military pay as an incentive."

Yu Xiaowan asked with a smile, "Brother Chu! Uncle Liu! If we turn the special forces into an iron army, will the Military Intelligence Bureau want to go back?"

Without hesitation, Liu Zhengxiong replied, "Of course we'll go back."

Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "Don't think about things that far ahead. Also, don't keep coming here. A super Japanese spy like Tojo Aoka will definitely be able to connect this to the fact that there is a mysterious person living here."

Liu Zhengxiong said angrily, "Look at what you're saying! If you hadn't called me over, I wouldn't have come. I'm leaving in a huff! Humph!"

After saying that, he pretended to be angry and walked out of the cave.

Yu Xiaowan laughed and said, "It's obvious that Uncle Liu is just faking his anger."

Liu Zhengxiong turned his head and shouted, "Girl! Uncle is really angry."

Xiang Chu instructed: "Old Liu! All communication equipment, including radios and flag signals, will be handled by our people to cut off the Japanese spies from transmitting intelligence. Have Ye Ying send a telegram to Dai Nong. Since Chu Gong hasn't come over, please request permission to withdraw the secret agents."

"Yes!"

Liu Zhengxiong hurriedly accepted the order.

Yu Xiaowan asked anxiously, "Brother Chu! You're not planning to send someone to infiltrate the Military Intelligence Bureau?"

Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! Dai Nong will definitely not withdraw the secret agents."

Chongqing, Office of the Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Zheng Jie reported: "Director! Ye Ying called to say that Chu tide did not arrive at the front line in western Hubei and requested permission to withdraw the secret agents."

Dai Nong said in astonishment, "Chu tide really didn't go to the front line in western Hubei? That's unlikely."

Zheng Jie smiled wryly and said, "Director! This proves one thing: Chu tide is hiding her true colors too well."

Dai Nong nodded and instructed, "Telegram to Ye Ying, instructing them to continue their covert operations. They must find out whether Chu tide is on the front lines."

Zheng Jie whispered, "Yes! Should we still assassinate Duke Chu?"

Dai Nong thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Forget it! Judging from the development of the situation, the Japanese are bound to be defeated sooner or later. I need to take a longer-term view. What's wrong with giving the position of director of the Military Intelligence Bureau to Chu tide?"

Zheng Jie said with a smile, "Director! Everyone knows that you want to be the Navy Commander."

Dai Nong rebuked, "Don't spread rumors about things that haven't even been confirmed yet."

Zheng Jie said with a smile, "Director! Isn't it a sure thing?"

At this moment, Mao Feng rushed into the office and said urgently:

"Commander! The Supreme Command has ordered us to provide you with specific intelligence on the Xiangbei front immediately."

Dai Nong said irritably, "Isn't this the Battle of Western Hubei? How come the fighting has spread to northern Hunan?"

Mao Feng scratched his head and said, "Who knows what's going on? Are the Japanese going to attack Changsha for the fourth time?"

Zheng Jie laughed and said, "Is that even a question? The Japanese are probably going to attack Changde and seize Changde, an important grain-producing area and a vital source of manpower for our country!"

Dai Nong sneered, "Yes! The Japanese attacked Changde. It seems that your judgment was correct. Let's see how Minister Chen and Chu tide explain this to you."

Zheng Jie laughed loudly, "These two must have been given a thorough scolding by the master, haha!"

Dai Nong rebuked, "Schadenfreude! Think about how we obtained intelligence on the Battle of Changde."

"Yes!"

Zheng Jie hurriedly accepted the order and turned to leave.

Longdong, Enshi, western Hubei, the headquarters of the Sixth War Zone Military and Political Command.

Xiang Chu was summoned by Minister Chen and reprimanded.

Minister Chen handed him a telegram and said with a wry smile:

"Look! We've been criticized by our husband again."

Xiang Chu took the telegram and read it, then shook his head and said, "Sir is trying to 'micromanage' again. He's not on the front lines, but he always wants to command the troops in battle. Little does he know that the Japanese forces and their movements are entirely under my control."

Minister Chen scoffed and said, "Kid! Stop bragging. The master is going to Changde to oversee the battle."

Xiang Chu handed him the telegram and waved his hand, saying, "I'm not bragging! I'm the head of the Japanese shadow police."

Wu Shi laughed and said, "Minister! Why don't we have Advisor Chu talk about the Japanese army's troop deployment and operations?"

Minister Chen nodded and said, "Okay! Advisor Chu said, remember this. I'll think about how to reply to you, sir, and persuade you to give up the idea of ​​going to Changde to oversee the battle."

Xiang Chu recounted: "On the night of May 4, two divisions of the Japanese 11th Army crossed the Yangtze River and advanced south of the Yangtze River, capturing Beiwan and Maochaojie, penetrating deep into Anxiang and Nanxian, and launching a surprise attack on our 73rd Army. The 73rd Army should have withdrawn westward in time and joined forces with the 87th Division of the Public Security Bureau, otherwise there was a risk of encirclement and annihilation."

Minister Chen nodded and said, "Yes! You are absolutely right, but it is almost impossible for the Japanese to encircle and annihilate the 73rd Army."

Xiang Chu pointed to a spot on the map and said, "The 73rd Army is defending Changjiaowan, which is surrounded by water on three sides and land on one side. It is easy to besiege but difficult to escape. They forgot that the Japanese have motorboats and can land and fight from anywhere."

Minister Chen said urgently, "That's right! Wu Shi! Quickly send a telegram to the 73rd Army."

At this moment, the communications staff officer rushed in and reported: "Sir! Our 73rd Army is surrounded by a large number of Japanese troops, suffering 13,000 casualties. The Japanese have carried out a horrific massacre in Changjiao, killing more than 30,000 of our soldiers and civilians..."

Xiang Chu slammed his fist on the desk and said bitterly, "Those wicked Japanese devils will pay for their crimes one day!"

Minister Chen said anxiously, "You've got such a strong grip, don't smash my desk!"

Xiang Chu said urgently, "Quickly send a telegram to the master. The Japanese next target is the 87th Division stationed in Gong'an. The overall objective of this operation is Chongqing. Tell him not to go to Changde to supervise the battle."

Minister Chen nodded and said, "Okay! I'll say it was you who said it."
