Spy Wars: Red Agent Codename Phoenix

Chapter 1711 To Live and Die with the Stone Tablet

Shen chased after him to the office door and reported:

"Chief! Governor Chiang called to inquire whether there will be an air raid tonight?"

Dai Nong said irritably, "It's nighttime now, how could Japanese planes possibly come over?"

Shen Zhui smiled wryly and said, "Director! The Japanese have been developing aircraft suitable for night flight since the year before last."

Dai Nong waved his hand and said, "That only equipped the Japanese naval air force; the Japanese army air force certainly didn't have it. Tell Governor Chiang to put his mind at ease and have a good New Year."

"Yes!"

Shen Zhui reluctantly accepted the order.

The living room on the second floor of the Chu Mansion.

The night was deep, and the card game had ended.

Xiang Chu and Liu Zhengxiong sat around the stove, enjoying tea, chatting, and keeping watch.

Song Xi walked into the living room carrying a stack of documents and said urgently:

"Brother! Please help me take a look at these documents. They're really hard to translate."

Liu Zhengxiong stood up and said tactfully, "You two are busy! I'll go check the radio room."

Xiang Chu took the document from Song Xi's hand and asked in confusion:

"Sis! What are all these documents?"

Song Xi smiled bitterly and said, "The Qing Dynasty signed unequal treaties with foreign countries."

Xiang Chu exclaimed in surprise, "So many?"

Song Xi shook his head and said, "This is only a small part. The Qing Dynasty signed a total of 1175 unequal treaties with major and minor powers, with a total indemnity of 15 billion taels of silver. It is truly unbelievable."

Xiang Chu picked out a few documents and sighed, "Even small countries like Peru, Nepal, Belgium, and Mexico have signed unequal treaties, which proves how superficial their understanding of the world is."

Song Xi said thoughtfully, "Brother! Although war is cruel, it also brings corresponding benefits. For example, if we don't fight, when will these unequal treaties be abolished?"

Xiang Chu said with a wry smile, "We must win, otherwise we will be at their mercy."

At this moment, Liu Zhengxiong rushed in and said urgently:

"Lord Chu! Madam! Chen Mao has called. Two Shimadzu 'Geko' night fighters have taken off from Hankou and are launching a night attack on the Huangshan official residence in Chongqing."

Song Xi said angrily, "Damn Japanese devils! They can't even keep quiet during the New Year. Brother! I'll call the official residence right away."

Xiang Chu nodded and instructed, "Old Liu! Tell the brothers to get up quickly and prepare for an air raid."

Liu Zhengxiong nodded and said, "Yes! But it's the New Year, who among these guys is sleeping? They're all playing cards."

After saying this, he turned and ran out.

Song Xi answered Governor Jiang's call and said urgently:

"Inspector Jiang! Two Japanese planes have taken off from Hankou Airport, preparing to launch a night attack on the Huangshan official residence. You must immediately send men to search the area around the residence and be on high alert to prevent anyone from setting fires as a signal."

Governor Chiang said angrily, "Madam Chu! Where did you get this intelligence? I just asked Dai Nong, and he said that the Japanese don't have any planes capable of night bombing."

Song Xi scolded, "If you don't believe me, I'll go find your aunt."

Governor Chiang hurriedly said, "Don't get angry, I believe you."

Song Xi hung up the phone and said angrily, "This guy is outrageous. He's only happy when a bomb is thrown at his head."

Xiang Chu took her hand and comforted her, "Darling! That's just how he is, don't be angry. Come on! Let's go to sleep."

Song Xi said angrily, "The Japanese planes are about to bomb Chongqing, and you can still sleep?"

Xiang Chu asked with a smile, "Have you forgotten? All the bedrooms in our Chu Mansion are in air-raid shelters."

"Right!"

Song Xi nodded.

"Woo--Woo--"

An air raid siren sounded outside.

Xiang Chu and Song Xi walked onto the balcony and looked up at the sky.

Song Xi nestled into his arms and said softly, "Brother! The balance of the world war has tilted in favor of the Allies, but the Chinese battlefield remains a deadlock."

Xiang Chu laughed and said, "Sister! You mean to say that going to America after the holiday is to untie this knot?"

Song Xi smiled and said, "Yes! If we can get a lot of resources, we can defeat the Japanese."

Xiang Chu said with a wry smile, "The Japanese have already amassed 100,000 troops, led by Yokoyama Isamu, and are preparing to take Chongqing in one fell swoop and intimidate the Nationalist government into surrendering."

Song Xi sneered, "The Japanese are really delusional. We withstood the pressure even under such difficult circumstances in previous years. Now that the dawn is in sight, how could we possibly surrender?"

Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Of course! Surrender is absolutely impossible. However, the Japanese are going all in this time. If we cannot hold Shibei, the throat of the Yangtze River, then Chongqing is in danger."

Song Xi said impatiently, "Tell me! Do you want to go to Shipai this time?"

Xiang Chu smiled wryly and said, "Yes! I'll take Lao Liu and the others over to be advisors to Hu Lian and provide intelligence support."

After pondering for a while, Song Xi nodded and said, "You can be an advisor, but remember, you absolutely cannot go to the front line."

Xiang Chu said happily, "I understand!"

Song Xi said slowly, "I know! What you're thinking is: to live and die with Shipai!"

Xiang Chu laughed and said, "Shibei has been under construction with fortifications and obstacles since 1938, making it impregnable. Don't worry! I will definitely return safely."

The sound of airplane engines filled the air.

However, no airplanes could be seen in the sky.

"Boom! Boom!"

Several shells landed in the direction of Huangshan Official Residence.

The explosion was deafening, and flames shot into the sky.

Song Xi said bitterly, "The Japanese planes dropped incendiary bombs! They are truly vicious and ruthless."

Xiang Chu said thoughtfully, "One day, Tokyo will suffer such retribution."

Daliushushan Village, southwest of Shipai, western Hubei.

Doihara Hamaji, along with his agents, quietly approached the area.

Takahashi Kosei said with a smile, "General! This intelligence is absolutely correct. Tojo Aofu is hiding in this village."

Doihara Hamaji retorted, "Sho! Why are you so sure?"

Takahashi Kosei took a deep breath through his nose and said mysteriously:

“Take a sniff of the air in this mountain village; it has a strong smell of blood.”

Doihara Hama also took a sip and nodded:

"Hmm! There is indeed a fresh smell of blood."

Takahashi Kosei laughed and said, "Tojo Aofu is extremely cruel, even more so than Commander Okamura's 'Three Alls' and your 'Five Alls' policy. I saw him with my own eyes pick up a Chinese baby with his bayonet and roast it over a fire to eat it."

Doihara Hama smacked his lips and said with a grin:

"Yosh! That's an absolute delicacy."

Xiao Qi was so angry her teeth itched, and she shook her head, saying, "General! Are you even human if you eat people?"

Doihara Hamaji said with a smile, "Hon-xiong! We are Japanese devils, we can eat people."

Xiao Qi clasped his hands together and sighed, "Guanyin Bodhisattva! Amaterasu Omikami! People's hearts have become corrupted."

Doihara Hamaru angrily shouted, "Get out! You're not allowed to participate in this operation!"

"Hello!"

Xiao Qi was overjoyed and quickly slipped to the back.

"Boom! Boom!"

Doihara Hama's forward agent stepped on a landmine.

"Da-da! Da-da-da!"

Then the sound of machine gun fire rang out.

Doihara Hamaji, not expecting an ambush, lay prone on the ground and shouted loudly:

"Tojo Seifu! I am Chief Takekatsu, don't fire!"

Tojo Aofū responded loudly, "Nonsense! You're not one at all."

Enraged, Doihara Hama shouted, "You man-eating beast!"

His curses drew even more machine gun fire.

Takahashi Osaka suggested, "General! Bomb this village flat with cannons."

Doihara Hamaji ordered, "Boom! Boom to death this wicked cannibalistic maniac!"

"Hello!"

Takahashi Komasa hurriedly accepted the order.
