Chapter 726 I Hate Secret Agents From the Bottom of My Heart
Shanghai, by the Huangpu River.
Doihara Kan'er was so grief-stricken that he could not control himself and cried out:
"Amaterasu! Why are you forcing me to seek death?"
Takahashi Taisho corrected him, "Deputy Director of the Shadow Bamboo Agency! You can't really blame Amaterasu."
Doihara Kan'er lost his former arrogance, tied the rope of the life buoy around his waist, nodded and said, "It is indeed not the great Amaterasu's fault, it is all because of Okamura the skinny monkey who reported this general."
Takahashi Taisho shook his head and said, "You can't blame Okamura Ningchi for this. In this Xiangbei battle, you did lose a brigade, four battalions, and one squadron of the Empire, as well as countless weapons and ammunition. You openly pretended to be a general, published a newspaper to slander the death of the head of the Shadow Agency, and even wanted to annex the Shadow Agency. You deserve to be punished."
Doihara Xian'er was furious and roared, "Baka! Which side are you on? Get lost!"
After he finished speaking, he kicked Takahashi Daisho into the surging Huangpu River.
Yoshiaki Yamashita hurriedly threw down a lifebuoy with a rope and pulled Takahashi Taisho up.
Although there were many factors that led to Doihara Kenji becoming Xiang Chu's subordinate, the most crucial one was that Yamashita Yoshiaki deliberately sent a wrong telegram, saying that the Shadow and Bamboo Agency would be established, with the Shadow in front and the Bamboo in the back, which eventually led to the Bamboo Agency being merged into the Shadow Agency.
Doihara Kenji had no idea what was going on, so he downed a bottle of Shaoxing Nv'erhong wine and shouted, "I don't want to be inferior to the head of the film agency, so I'm going to jump into the Huangpu River and die."
Yamashita Jiqiu said anxiously: "Don't run away."
However, Doihara Kan'er did not hesitate and jumped into the surging Huangpu River.
Takahashi Taisho drew out his dagger, cut off the lifebuoy with one stroke, and shouted, "Fake General! Have a safe journey!"
Yamashita Yoshiaki shook his head and said, "Taisho! It's no use cutting the lifebuoy. The pseudo-general is still wearing a life jacket."
Takahashi Taisho said in astonishment: "Ah?! He was wearing a life jacket?"
Sure enough, Doihara Ken'er's fat body floated on the water. He drank a few sips of the Huangpu River water and swam to the shore.
Yamashita Yoshiaki rushed forward, pulled him ashore, and cried with tears in his eyes: "General! Please don't try to commit suicide again."
Doihara Ken'er stroked his chubby chin and said with a smile, "This general is protected by Amaterasu. He will not sink even if he falls into the water. He must persist until the victory of the Imperial Holy War. We must immediately enter the Shadow Agency, find out the problems with the Shadow Agency chief, get him out of office, and then replace him. Haha!"
Yamashita Yoshiaki was so shocked that he reminded him, "General! The head of the Shadow Bureau is the leader of the Yamashita generation and the leader of the Northern Advancement Faction. The Empire will fight a big battle with the Russian bear. You'd better not oppose him. It's better for you to ask for permission to go outside the Great Wall and make new military achievements."
Takahashi Taisho echoed, "Fake general! The Yamashiro leader kills without blinking an eye, it's better to stay away from him."
Doihara Kenji's eyes flashed with the scene of the Yamashiro leader killing everyone in the streets of Tokyo. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go! Go outside the Great Wall and let Okamura the skinny monkey see that I will definitely achieve brilliant results outside the Great Wall.
Ji Qiu! We have to do this on two fronts. You should immediately send a telegram to Ms. Kawashima Yoshi to bring some elite members of the Bamboo Agency to the Shadow Agency and use the honey trap on the Shadow Agency chief to get all of his secrets out."
Yamashita Yoshiaki hurriedly said, "General! Don't we want Chongguang Hall anymore?"
Doihara smacked his lips and said with a smile:
"Leave it idle for now! Let's raise some delicious snakes. Haha!"
"Hello!"
Yamashita Yoshiaki accepted the order reluctantly.
Wuhan, the office of the commander of the Japanese 11th Army.
Ono Chihua placed a newspaper in front of Okamura Ningchi and said bitterly:
"Commander! The new commander of the 34th Chinese Army, Governor Jiang, boasted that he diverted the water of the Xiangjiang River to submerge the imperial vassal division. Now he has commanded the 34th Chinese Army to recapture Miluo City and even threatened to retake Yueyang. We should send the main division to Yueyang to fight him to the death."
Okamura Ningchi picked up the newspaper and read it, then smiled mysteriously and said, "No! Our army must avoid the 34th Army's attack and order the Yueyang defenders to retreat. This Governor Jiang is a far cry from Chu Xi.
If he stays in control for a while longer, the 34th Army’s combat effectiveness will plummet.”
Xiao Ye Zhihua said with a smile: "Commander! Xiao Ye knows that you are afraid of Chu Xi, not Governor Jiang."
Okamura Ningchi was very unhappy with what the aide said and shouted, "Nonsense! How could this commander be afraid of Chu Xi? Go to the front line in western Hubei immediately and quietly replace your twin brother Xiao Ye Zhizhong."
"This, okay!"
Ono Zhihua accepted the order reluctantly.
Seeing that he was reluctant, Okamura Ningchi persuaded him, "Zhihua! Your uncle wants you two brothers to take turns to go to the front line, so that there will always be one person leading the troops in the front line and gaining military merit to be promoted to general."
Xiao Yezhihua bowed 90 degrees, and said with great emotion: "Thank you, uncle, for your good intentions."
Okamura Ningchi waved his hand and said, "Go! Call the Yueyang garrison first and ask them to retreat."
"Hello!"
Ono Zhihua hurriedly took the order and turned to walk out of the office.
Okamura Ningchi looked at his back and kept muttering in his heart: "Is he Zhizhong or Zhihua?"
Outside Yueyang City, 34th Army Command Post.
Governor Jiang was holding a combat meeting and loudly ordered:
"1st Division! 4th Division! 5th Division! 6th Division! Besiege Yueyang City from the southeast, northwest, and northeast respectively. We must capture Yueyang City before dawn tomorrow."
Ning Qiang couldn't help but say, "Commander! To the west is Dongting Lake. My 5th Division can't besiege it."
Governor Jiang shouted, "Captain Ning! Did the commander let you speak? Demote me to deputy commander."
"Yes!"
Ning Qiang accepted the order with grievance.
At this moment, a scout ran in and reported loudly:
"Commander! The devils in Yueyang City have abandoned the city and fled."
Governor Jiang said angrily: "Why don't you let me, the commander, wipe out these damn devils?"
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Commander! The Japanese are afraid of the reputation of our 34th Army and dare not fight."
Governor Jiang picked up his baton and ordered, "1st Army Commander! You will lead the 1st, 4th, and 5th divisions to attack Shicheng immediately. This commander wants to see if the Japanese defenders in Shicheng can escape."
"Yes!"
Zhang Fei reluctantly accepted the order and begged,
"Commander! Deputy Division Commander Ning just said something a little too much, can you please not demote him to deputy division commander?"
Governor Jiang rolled his eyes at him and scolded him, "General Zhang! Don't you know that you must be strict in disciplining the army? In view of your reckless plea for mercy, I will demote you to deputy commander as a warning to others."
"This, okay!"
Zhang Fei nodded helplessly, feeling very unwilling in his heart.
Governor Jiang shouted, "Remember! The authority of this commander cannot be challenged. You can only be reinstated if you make meritorious contributions while serving your sentence. Otherwise, there are many students from the Whampoa Military Academy who will replace you spies."
Zhang Fei and others understood that it seemed that Governor Chiang hated spies from the bottom of his heart.
Changsha, Huanghua Airport.
Two transport planes from Chaohuaxizhi Airlines have arrived.
Xiang Chu instructed: "Xiao Wan! You take everyone back to Hong Kong first and live on Lamma Island. I will go back to Chongqing to handle some matters, and then go to Hong Kong to find you, and then we will go back to Shanghai together."
Yu Xiaowan nodded and said, "Yes! You and Sister Kong take care of yourselves."
"Sister Xiaowan! Take care."
Kong Ling smiled and hugged her affectionately.
Xiang Chu ordered: "Lao Gan! The shadow spies will act in small groups, under the pretext of gathering intelligence, and follow our transportation team back to Shanghai."
Gan Rong smiled and said, "Chief! It has been arranged."
Xiang Chu praised: "Well! Very good, let's get on the plane quickly."
Two planes, one heading northwest and one heading southwest, left Changsha separately.
The anti-Japanese war in Xiang, Chu and Xiang came to a successful conclusion.
