Spy Wars: Red Agent Codename Phoenix

Chapter 1520 Don’t hinder them from fighting the devils

Minister He whispered, "Director Ning! Is Mr. Chu at Huitong Bridge?"

Ning Caiwei nodded and said, "Yes! He has been guarding there the whole time."

Minister He said with emotion: "With him here, the country is truly safe and sound."

Governor Jiang shouted, "Director Ning! Please come in and talk."

"Yes!"

Ning Caiwei hurriedly accepted the order.

The next morning, the first rays of sunlight illuminated both sides of the Nujiang River.

Xiang Chu didn't sleep all night, looking at the other side from time to time.

On the other side of the river, the Japanese soldiers were busy lining up their tanks and artillery.

A large number of Japanese soldiers also gathered by the river, taking off their clothes and preparing to cross the river.

Xiang Chu kicked Liu Zhengxiong, who was snoring loudly, and shouted:

"Lao Liu! The Japanese are about to attack. Let's defend and counterattack, brothers."

Liu Zhengxiong quickly got up and yawned and said:

"Yes! But the devils are also human beings. How can they not sleep so early in the morning?"

Xiang Chu pulled him to the door, pointed to the other side and said with a wry smile:

"Still don't believe it? Then come over and see if the devil is asleep."

Liu Zhengxiong exclaimed: "Oh my God! The devils are going all out. If reinforcements don't arrive soon, we'll run out of ammunition and food, and we'll be completely defeated."

Xiang Chu patted his shoulder and ordered:

"Not really! Go and inform them."

Liu Zhengxiong smiled bitterly and said, "Okay! But everyone is out of bullets."

Xiang Chu scolded: "If we don't have bullets, don't we have bayonets and daggers?"

"Yes! We will fight the devils hand-to-hand. We will never retreat."

Liu Zhengxiong said this in a firm tone, turned around and ran out of the command post.

Xiang Chu picked up the sniper rifle, checked the bullets in the gun, and said with a wry smile:

"Even I only have three bullets left, so let's eliminate three high-ranking Japanese officers."

After saying this, he walked out of the command post, hid behind the rocks, and used a scope to search for targets on the opposite bank.

On the other side of the Nujiang River, the chief of staff of the Japanese 56th Division was encouraging the artillery.

"Brave warriors of the Imperial Artillery! The Chinese soldiers, without any regard for morality, brazenly blew up the Huitong Bridge, causing countless Chinese civilians to drown. You must raze the fortifications on the other side to the ground and avenge the Chinese civilians who fell into the water."

The Japanese soldiers looked at each other in confusion. This was the first time they had heard such a statement.

"Bang!"

A bullet shot into the head of the Japanese chief of staff.

The Japanese chief of staff fell to the ground and died.

A Japanese soldier shouted loudly: "The Chief of Staff was assassinated!"

The Japanese artillery battalion commander pointed to the other side of the river and shouted:

"Bombard the Chinese army and avenge the Chief of Staff."

"Hello!"

The Japanese artillerymen received the order in unison.

"Bang!"

The Japanese artillery battalion commander was hit in the forehead and fell to the ground dead.

The Japanese soldiers were so scared that they lay on the ground, not daring to move. There was deathly silence on the artillery position.

At the command post of the Japanese 56th Division, Kenji Doihara and Taro Sakaguchi were drinking.

Sato, the aide-de-camp, rushed in and reported, "Your Excellency, the division commander! The chief of staff and the artillery battalion commander were just assassinated by Chinese snipers."

"what?!"

Taro Sakaguchi exclaimed.

Doihara Ken'er, drunk, patted his chest and said, "Isn't he just a Chinese sniper? I'll go meet him."

Sakaguchi Taro wished him dead, raised his glass and said loudly:

"General Doihara! The commander of this division wishes you a happy journey."

"Yoshi!"

Doihara Kenji picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and stood up.

"Plop!" a sound.

He fell to the ground drunk and unconscious.

Sakaguchi Taro laughed and said, "What a fool!"

Sato's attendant took out his sniper rifle and volunteered: "Your Excellency, Division Commander! Sato is also a sharpshooter. Please allow me to kill the Chinese sniper."

Sakaguchi Taro nodded and said, "Yoshi! Go ahead."

"Hello!"

Officer Sato bowed and accepted the order, then ran out of the command post.

"Bang!"

A crisp gunshot was heard outside.

Taro Sakaguchi asked in confusion: "Sato started so quickly?"

A Japanese guard rushed into the command post and shouted:

"Division Commander! Your aide-de-camp was assassinated by a Chinese sniper."

Sakaguchi Taro was stunned and waved his hands:

"Pause the attack!"

"Hello!"

The Japanese guards hurriedly accepted the order.

In the mountains on the opposite bank, there is a command post.

Xiang Chu summoned Gan Rong, Liu Zhengxiong, Zhang Zuwu, Captain Bai and others to a meeting.

He pointed across the river and said, "Captain Zhang! Captain Bai! The Japanese are about to launch a massive attack. We are out of ammunition and food, and reinforcements won't arrive anytime soon. You two should take your men and leave quickly. We'll stay."

Zhang Zuwu said anxiously, "Sir! Our engineering battalion will not leave and will die with you."

Captain Bai hurriedly said, "Sir! We military police won't leave either. Isn't it just hand-to-hand combat with the devils? We can do it!"

Xiang Chu was moved and said, "Good brother! Let's rely on this high mountain and fight the devils with bayonets and stones."

"Fight the devils!"

Zhang Zuwu and Captain Bai said this in a decisive tone.

Liu Zhengxiong glanced at the other side and asked in confusion, "Strange! The Japanese artillery and the crossing troops have all retreated. What's going on?"

Gan Rong smiled and said, "I guess the general just sniped and killed three high-ranking Japanese officers, causing Sakaguchi Taro and Doihara Kenji to panic and order a halt to the attack."

Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "Just temporarily halt the attack, Fugui! Call the Allied Command and ask where the reinforcements are."

"Yes!"

Ma Fugui hurriedly accepted the order.

At this moment, Xiaoliu rushed into the command post and said happily:

"Boss! The reinforcements, the Xifeng Brigade, have arrived."

"Great!"

Xiang Chu stood up excitedly and ordered:

"Xiao Liu! Go down the mountain and tell the Xifeng Brigade commander that to prevent the Japanese from bombarding you, don't deploy your defenses on the road for now. Go directly up the mountain and dig fortifications to stop the Japanese."

"Yes!"

Xiaoliu hurriedly took the order and ran out.

Xiang Chu ordered, "Fugui! Call the Allied Command. My troops, the Expeditionary Force's Engineer Battalion, and the Military Police are out of ammunition and food. Now that the reinforcements, the Xifeng Brigade, have arrived, request permission to retreat."

"Yes!"

Ma Fugui hurriedly accepted the order.

Not long after, I received a call back:

"The 36th Division has arrived, you retreat!"

Xiang Chu showed the telegram to Zhang Zuwu and Captain Bai and said with a smile, "Captain Zhang! Captain Bai! Our superiors have ordered us to retreat. Take your men and leave."

"Yes, sir."

Zhang Zuwu and Captain Bai gladly accepted the order and walked out of the command post.

Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Old Liu! Let's get everyone packed up, we're ready to leave."

"Yes!"

Liu Zhengxiong hurriedly accepted the order.

Xiao Liu ran back and pointed at the scattered Xifeng Brigade officers and soldiers on the road below, shaking his head and said:

"Boss! The Xifeng Brigade commander refused to listen to you and insisted on deploying troops on the highway. Moreover, his brigade commander told us to get out of here and not get in the way of their fight against the Japanese."

Xiang Chu said angrily: "This idiot! Fugui! Call the Allied Command. To prevent the Japanese from bombarding, please order the Xifeng Brigade to go up the mountain and dig fortifications to block the Japanese."

"Yes!"

Ma Fugui hurriedly took the order and sent a telegram.

Gan Rong pointed to the other side and shook his head, saying, "General! The Japanese are about to attack. It's too late for the Xifeng Brigade!"

Xiang Chu picked up the telescope and looked at the opposite bank. The Japanese artillery had started moving again, and the muzzles were aimed at the Xifeng Brigade.

"Boom! Boom!"

Dozens of artillery pieces fired at the same time, shaking the earth.
