Chapter 1027 Don’t Touch the Phoenix
Enshi, Fifth War Zone Command.
When Xiang Chu received Wei Feng's telegram, he felt something was wrong and frowned.
Ning Caiwei asked with concern: "Dad! What's wrong with this telegram?"
Xiang Chu handed the telegram to her and shook his head, saying, "I didn't expect that when Wei Feng was chasing the devils, he met an acquaintance from the Shanghai Special High Section. Alas! I was too careless! The shadow spies should always wear masks."
Ning Caiwei smiled bitterly and said, "It's so hot, how uncomfortable it is to wear a mask?"
Song Xi suggested: "Brother! I think we should keep Wei Feng here."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "It's the only way. He has more experience in mountain warfare, so it's just right for him to stay and lead the troops. But I'm worried that Doihara Shigeo will report the information to Minamizō Yunko. If my people appear on the front line, Minamizō Yunko will definitely ask me for a reasonable explanation."
Ning Caiwei suggested, "His father! You might as well just cheat and say that Wei Feng had already left your shadow agency."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "One word won't fool Nan Zao Yunzi. If she suspects something, she will investigate it thoroughly."
Song Xi said bluntly: "Brother! If you refuse to admit it, why don't you just say you are abroad?"
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! If she comes to me, I will say so. Let's go! Go home to eat and sleep."
Song Xi said angrily: "You are leaving without doing anything. Why don't you take the radio with you, in case Nan Zao Yunzi comes looking for you."
"Right!"
Xiang Chu smiled and quickly picked up the radio.
Ma Fugui hurried forward and said anxiously: "Commander! Let me get it."
Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "No need! You should go and relax too."
Ma Fugui smiled bitterly and said, "There is no entertainment here."
Xiang Chu patted his shoulder and said with concern:
"Then take a good sleep and make up for the sleep you lost in the past three months."
"Yes!"
Ma Fugui happily accepted the order.
The Japanese invasion was repelled and everyone's tense mood relaxed.
Those who should take a rest should take a rest, those who should take a holiday should take a holiday, and those who should go home should go home.
Some people set off firecrackers and beat drums and gongs, making it feel like the New Year.
The residence of Xiang Chu and his two companions was a house requisitioned from a local wealthy family and was quite elegant.
Ning Caiwei smiled bitterly and said, "You two! This is something Minister Chen found specifically for our family."
Song Xi nodded and said, "He still hopes that our men will stay and fight the Japanese with him."
Xiang Chu put down the radio and said with a smile: "The Japanese launched the Zaoyi Campaign, which took a lot of effort, exhausted financial, material and human resources, and suffered setbacks. The gains did not outweigh the losses. They will not attack here again in a year or two."
Song Xi smiled and said, "Stop talking nonsense and cook quickly."
Xiang Chu happily said: "Yes, sir!"
In Shijiazhuang, Hebei, Kenji Doihara rode a white horse, holding a silver spear, and galloped through the streets.
The local maintenance association forced the people in the city to beat drums and gongs, throw flowers and spray water to express their warm welcome.
There were also people who shouted: "Zhao Zilong of Changshan is reborn! General Doihara will live forever."
Such lines are very offensive to ordinary Chinese people.
It was only after careful selection by Kenji Doihara that he was called out.
Doihara Kan'ei rode his horse into the division headquarters, dismounted, and moved as smoothly as flowing water.
Takahashi Taisho applauded and cheered: "What a cool move!"
Doihara Xian'er stuck the silver spear into the soil and waved his hand, saying, "Liao Hua! Follow me into the camp."
"Hello!"
Takahashi Daisho obeyed the order nervously and followed him into the office.
However, seeing how arrogant Doihara Kan'er was, he decided to strike him down and said bluntly:
"Your Excellency the False General! According to the news from Wuhan, the model for fighting against the Eighth Route Army that you delivered to Wuhan was edited by someone else named Sonobe Kawaichirō. A righteous man named Doihara Shigeo could not stand it and tried to assassinate Sonobe Kawaichirō, but was killed by Sonobe Kawaichirō's attendant Suzuki Reika."
Upon hearing this, Doihara Ken'er flew into a rage and roared, "Baka! Who gave Sonobe Kawaichirō the guts to put his name on the book compiled and printed by me, the film director, and Okamura Shouhou?"
Takahashi Taisho suggested: "Your Excellency the fake general should calm down and tell the head of the film agency and Commander Okamura that their share of the commission was also embezzled by Sonobe Kawaichiro."
Doihara Xian'er looked at his high-end watch and shook his head, saying, "It's not even two o'clock in the morning yet, so my two friends are definitely not at their most excited. You must wait until that time, and then send a message to the handsome head of the film agency and the skinny monkey Okamura Ningchi, and give them a big grief."
Takahashi Daisho almost cursed, as this meant he would have to wait until two o'clock.
Doihara Kenji said thoughtfully: "Doihara Shigeo? He is my cousin, affiliated with the Shanghai Special High Section, an outstanding imperial agent, sent to the Wuhan front for reconnaissance. Was he killed by Sonobe Kawaichiro?"
Takahashi Taisho nodded and said, "In order to defend you, he was killed by Suzuki Reika, the attendant of Sonobe Kawaichiro."
Doihara Kan'er praised him, "He is truly a righteous man. It is a great honor to die for the great General Doihara. It is a worthy death."
Takahashi Taisho cursed in his heart: "Doihara Kan'er is such a cold-blooded, heartless, greedy, selfish and stupid general."
Doihara Kan'er saw through his thoughts and scolded him, "Silly Taisho! Tell everyone about Sonobe Kawaichiro's ugly behavior, especially to Miss Aoki Renhua who loves me."
"Hello!"
Takahashi Taisho accepted the order reluctantly.
Chongqing, the underground secret room of Zeng Mansion.
Zeng Yun made a model of the Yasukuni Shrine and placed the tablets of Japanese spies such as Kobayashi Shigeha, Kobayashi Shika, and Hase Takayama into the shrine model.
Qing Mu Lianhua watched from the side and shook her head and said, "Uncle! What's the point of your memorial service like this? You might as well kill Minister Chen to avenge them."
Zeng Yun shook his head and said, "No! They all died at the hands of the Chinese 34th Army. It was not Minister Chen who killed them. I think it was General Liu Pang."
Qing Mu Lianhua waved her hand and said, "That fat guy Liu from the 34th Army is not good at detecting spies. I think there is someone else."
Zeng Yun asked doubtfully, "Who do you think it is?"
At this moment, the radio transmission sounded, interrupting Qingmu Lianhua from stating her suspect.
Qing Mu Lianhua hurriedly copied and translated the message and sneered, "Isn't Doihara Xian'er fighting the Eighth Route Army in North China? It seems that he has quite free time."
Zeng Yun took the telegram and read it, wondering, "This Doihara Shigeo is a secret agent, why did he want to assassinate Sonobe Kawaichiro?"
Qing Mu Lian Hua smiled and said, "It is said that he did it to speak up for Doihara Ken'er."
Zeng Yun shook his head and said, "No! There must be something hidden here. We should send someone to find out who is around Doihara Shigeo. He must have some secrets."
Qing Mu Lianhua waved her hand and said, "You send Qing Spy to investigate. I'm going to study Marxism-Leninism with Lin Qiao'er in Jinggangshan. I'll go back and sneak into the cave with the military personnel to find out the secret of China's top spy, Phoenix."
Zeng Yun said anxiously: "Don't touch the Phoenix!"
Qing Mu Lian Hua would never listen to him and disappeared from the underground secret room like a ghost.
Enshi was the residence of Xiang Chu.
At two o'clock in the morning, the radio broadcast sounded, waking up the three people.
Song Xi shouted, "Who is this? Sending a telegram so late at night."
Ning Caiwei said anxiously, "It can't be Nan Zao Yunzi, I'll go and copy the message."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "I'd better do it. At two o'clock in the morning, only Doihara Xian'er is the most excited. He must be the one harassing me."
He hurriedly got up and copied and translated the message, then laughed and said, "So that's what happened. Sonobe Kawaichiro did a great thing for me."
