Spy Wars: Red Agent Codename Phoenix

Chapter 1747 Further Retreat Will Lead to National Destruction and Extinction

The Japanese translator, clutching half a broken flag, hurriedly ran back to the command post.

He gesticulated wildly and recounted the events with tears streaming down his face.

Enraged, Akashi roared, "Baka! The Chinese Iron-Blooded Special Forces are blocking the path to negotiation, clearly intending to resist to the end. Chief of Staff! Fire all the ammunition and teach them a lesson!"

"Hah!"

Seishiro Hashimoto bowed and accepted the order.

Akashiro shouted, "Inoue Regiment! After the shelling, your regiment will storm Gaojialing and completely annihilate the Chinese Iron-Blooded Special Forces Division."

Regiment Commander Inoue said with a wry smile, "Division Commander! My regiment is running out of ammunition and can only fight hand-to-hand combat with the Chinese Iron-Blooded Special Forces Division."

Akashi Shigeto shouted, "The Chinese Iron-Blooded Special Forces are out of ammunition. You should uphold the spirit of Bushido and wipe them off the face of the earth with hand-to-hand combat."

Inoue, the regimental commander, was short in stature and a true Japanese soldier. He didn't want to fight hand-to-hand combat from the bottom of his heart, but he mustered up his courage and said, "Division Commander! We have airplanes, ships, and mules for supplies. Why don't we wait for the supplies to arrive and then annihilate the Chinese Iron-Blooded Special Forces Division in one fell swoop?"

"Snapped!"

Akashi, unable to bear it any longer, slapped him across the face and roared, "Baka! The army's planes are affected by this damn weather, the imperial ships are affected by Chinese mines, and the mules and horses were hijacked halfway. It's impossible for supplies to come over now."

Once our army captures Shipai, Imperial aircraft will drop massive amounts of supplies, transforming Shipai into an invincible fortress. With our superior land, sea, and air forces, taking Chongqing will be a piece of cake, and the fall of China will be imminent. Go now!

"Hah!"

Regiment Commander Inoue accepted the order without hesitation.

Gaojialing, the command post of the Iron-Blooded Special Forces Division.

Xiang Chu picked up a specially made, extended Qi-style Miao sword and said as he sharpened it:

"This sword is specifically designed to counter the Japanese samurai swords; it will surely be able to wreak havoc on all sides today."

Yu Xiaowan secured the hidden arrows to her arms, picked up a Qi-style Miao sword, and said with a wry smile, "The Japanese mostly use bayonets, so the Qi-style Miao sword is still a bit too short."

Liu Zhengxiong handed her a red-tasseled spear and said with a smile, "Girl! You should learn from your uncle how to use a red-tasseled spear."

Yu Xiaowan took out her bow and arrows and said with a smile, "No! This time I'll use both a bow and arrows and a hidden dart."

Liu Zhengxiong instructed, "You shoot the Japanese from behind, but don't get too close to the front."

At this moment, Ma Fugui reported: "Commander! Madam Kong has contacted the higher-ups. The Iron-Blooded Special Forces Division is just a hastily assembled force. They can retreat and will not bear any responsibility."

Let us reply to her immediately upon receiving the telegram.

Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "No need to reply to Madam Kong! If we retreat now, it will be the same as putting all the pressure on Commander Hu. The gunfire there is incessant, and the fighting is even more intense."

Yu Xiaowan suggested, "Let's reply. Just say we've held off the Japanese offensive and put their minds at ease."

Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! That's a fine reply. Fu Gui! Send a telegram to Madam Kong that we've escaped danger here."

"Yes!"

Ma Fugui hurriedly accepted the order.

At this moment, Qian Fu reported: "Commander! The theater command has called, instructing our troops to withdraw as the situation warrants."

Xiang Chu instructed: "Report back to the war zone command that our army's original aspiration remains unchanged. If the Japanese want to occupy Shipai, they will have to step over our dead bodies."

"Yes!"

Qian Fu accepted the order without hesitation.

Liu Zhengxiong polished his red-tasseled spear until it gleamed, and said expectantly, "I hope the Japanese devils come up quickly and don't keep me waiting."

Xiang Chu observed through his binoculars and said with a wry smile, "Don't worry! The Japanese have already assembled. They'll be up there right after the shelling."

Liu Zhengxiong asked in confusion, "Are the Japanese going to shell us again?"

"Boom! Boom!"

Before he could finish speaking, the shells came whistling in.

The ground shook violently on Gaojialing, and rocks flew everywhere.

The sound of cannon fire stopped shortly afterward.

The Japanese soldiers wrapped themselves in white cloth strips of cloth, shouting "Long live our leader!"

Xiang Chu picked up the radio and shouted passionately, "Brothers! There is no way to retreat. If we retreat any further, our country will perish and our race will be wiped out."

So that future generations will not be slaves of a conquered nation, take up arms, follow my division commander out of the trenches, and fight the Japanese devils to the death! May we meet again in the next life!

After speaking, he smashed the megaphone, picked up the Qi family longsword, and walked out of the command post.

Yu Xiaowan, Liu Zhengxiong, and others picked up knives, guns, bayonets, and other weapons and followed closely behind.

The soldiers of the Iron-Blooded Special Forces Division emerged from the cracks in the rocks, the ravines, and the caves.

The mountains and fields were covered in a cold, gleaming light, resembling an indestructible Great Wall.

"Kill! Kill all the Chinese!"

The Japanese soldiers roared hysterically and rushed up the hillside like the wind.

Xiang Chu raised his long sword and roared in a deep voice, "Brothers! Kill!"

"Kill! Kill!"

The soldiers roared in unison, pouncing on the Japanese soldiers like tigers.

Soon, the two sides clashed, and the shouts of battle shook the heavens.

This decisive battle, which determined the fate of both countries, devolved into the most primitive and brutal hand-to-hand combat.

The Iron-Blooded Special Forces Division is composed of defeated soldiers, new recruits, student soldiers, and special agents, with varying levels of skill.

The Japanese regimental commander, Inoue, dared not charge. He observed through his binoculars and witnessed a scene that shocked him.

The Chinese division commander, wielding a long sword, killed more than a dozen Japanese soldiers in the blink of an eye.

The woman beside the division commander waved her hand, and a row of hidden arrows shot out, causing a group of Japanese soldiers to fall on the hillside.

The officers around the division commander were all skilled assassins; wherever their swords and guns pointed, the Japanese soldiers fell like leeks being cut down.

Akashi appeared behind Regimental Commander Inoue and shouted, "Baka! Regimental Commander Inoue, why don't you go up and join the melee?"

Commander Inoue pointed at Xiang Chu and the others, and said with a bitter expression, "Your Excellency, Division Commander! Those Chinese officers are too formidable, they seem like martial arts masters."

Akashi pointed at a Japanese squad leader and said, "Nonsense! Imperial officers are so powerful that they stabbed a short Chinese soldier in the stomach with their command sword."

Regimental Commander Inoue looked in the direction he was pointing and said with a wry smile, "That Chinese soldier seems to have no sense of pain; he grabbed onto Squad Leader Togo's knife."

Indeed, the thin Chinese soldier, stabbed in the stomach by a bayonet, did not fall down. Instead, he roared and lunged forward, clinging tightly to the Japanese squad leader's knife, creating an opportunity for his comrade to strike.

Xiao Liu leaped forward, wielding the Qi family Miao sword, and beheaded the Japanese squad leader with a single stroke.

A Japanese sergeant was highly skilled in bayonet fighting, killing three Chinese soldiers in succession. He was then grabbed by a wounded Chinese soldier and rolled down a cliff, at the same time detonating a grenade at his waist.

A loud "BOOM!"

The wounded Chinese soldier and the Japanese sergeant died together at the bottom of the cliff.

The only sounds in the valley were the clash of blades and the screams of the dying.

Chinese soldiers used stones, biting, and headbutting; they used any method that could kill the Japanese.

At this moment and in this place, the Japanese soldiers' bayonet skills, which they were so proud of, were completely rendered useless by their reckless fighting style.

Yu Xiaowan ran out of hidden arrows and began using a bow and arrow. Her archery skills were incredibly accurate, and she killed a Japanese soldier with a single arrow.

Enraged, Akashi shouted, "Baka! These Chinese soldiers have no Bushido spirit when fighting with bayonets; they're using bows and arrows instead! Regimental Commander Inoue! Go and kill that Chinese female soldier!"

"Yes!"

Commander Inoue bowed and accepted the order.

He drew his pistol and aimed it at Yu Xiaowan, who was busy killing enemies.
