Spy Shadow: Command & Conquer

Chapter 2055, The Max-Level Boss Returns to the Beginner Village
"Go to Africa?"

Little Zhuge immediately became interested.

He asked very detailed questions, looking eager to try.

Perhaps he doesn't know where Ethiopia is. But he knows Africa!

The delegation sent to Calcutta by the 7th Army earlier did not participate in the fighting and has already returned to its unit.

I thought this was the end of it, but little did I know, it was just the beginning.

"No problem." Little Zhuge rubbed his hands together, eager to get started. "I'll personally pick the people for you. Is three thousand enough?"

"We don't need that many. Let's send five hundred people first," Zhang Yong said, indicating that he wanted to see the effect first.

After all, the climate in Africa is really harsh. They might not be able to adapt.

Besides the heat, there's also drought. Both are deadly.

"Okay. I'll handle this personally."

Little Zhuge was clearly taking it very seriously.

He felt that going abroad to fight was an honorable thing.

It seems that these veterans of the Republic of China era may have had various flaws and may have committed many crimes.

However, one thing is beyond doubt: to win glory for the country.

Unfortunately, the country was weak, and such opportunities were rare. But if they did arise, we would definitely seize them.

"Thank you!"

Zhang Yong nodded. He was completely relieved.

Little Zhuge wasn't being insincere. He was genuinely excited and wanted to perform well.

The bald man's elite troops were unhappy. But the people of Guangxi were.

What the bald man can't do, the Guangxi clique will strive to do. They will absolutely not bring shame to China.

"After the troops assembled, they were transported by vehicle to Changsha Airport."

“I will arrange for them to board a plane and then be airlifted to Kolkata for acclimatization training.”

Zhang Yong made simple arrangements.

Little Zhuge said there was absolutely no problem.

"We'll keep in touch."

"it is good."

Zhang Yong took his leave.

Over there, Little Zhuge excitedly personally selected people.

According to the intelligence provided by Zhang Yong, the heat and drought are indeed troublesome, but they can be overcome.

Fighting abroad and competing with the great powers was very beneficial.

You definitely won't lose money.

……

Late at night, Zhang Yong took off in his Hawk-3 biplane.

No one knew where he was going.

Why are you all trying to find out so much about the Commissioner's secrets?
Are you a spy recruited by the Japanese invaders?
Zhang Yong flew north.

He's going to the North China Plain. To pull some strings.

Intelligence from all sides indicates that Okamura Yasuji has begun his operation. He, of course, must participate.

In the Taihang Mountains, the Eighth Route Army had the terrain to rely on, so dealing with the Japanese invaders was not a problem. However, it was much more difficult in the North China Plain.

The plains offered no natural defenses. They were easy to attack but difficult to defend. The Japanese could launch a pincer attack, employing a combination of tactics.

The Eighth Route Army lacked sufficient heavy weapons to engage the Japanese invaders in a direct confrontation.

Since I had nothing to do, I decided to take a trip to the North China Plain.

I'll secretly challenge Okamura Neiji to a duel. Let's see who's stronger.

Didn't you want to sweep through the area?
Ha ha.

You go out and raid, I'll raid your hideout.

I directly organized troops to attack Beiping.

Hey!

Well, if Li Yunlong had one or two divisions, he would dare to attack Taiyuan.

what is this?
Give me Zhang Yong's guerrilla force, a few hundred men, and I dare to attack Beiping!

It wasn't said that it absolutely had to be taken down...

It would be good to scare the Japanese invaders.

Keep flying...

The fuel is starting to run out...

By this time, the Hawk-3 biplane had already flown over southern Hebei.

The radar map begins to display yellow dots.

Some are very scattered. Some are more concentrated. The total number is not very large.

The number of red dots is not large, and they are rather scattered.

This indicates that the fighting is relatively calm here.

It can continue flying.

Arrived in central Hebei.

The radar map will show more yellow dots.

There are also a lot of red dots.

The yellow and red dots are intertwined, clearly separated.

Overall, the Japanese invaders held a clear advantage because they possessed heavy weapons.

They had tanks and 75mm mountain guns. They definitely had the upper hand.

Furthermore, the number of red dots is quite large, indicating that the Japanese forces were relatively strong.

That guy, Okamura Neiji, is indeed a venomous snake that bites. He silently and secretly amassed such a large force.

It's possible that many cannon fodder from the peninsula were transferred to the North China Plain.

There's still a little fuel left. Let's keep flying.

at last……

The fuel was running low, so they made an emergency landing.

Because it was nighttime, no one saw the emergency landing.

After a series of maneuvers, Zhang Yong climbed out of the cockpit, casually carrying a Garand semi-automatic rifle.

They changed clothes at the same time.

He dressed up as a businessman.

The radar map shows people nearby. There are three yellow dots and more than a dozen white dots.

They had weapons. They were all old Type 79 rifles.

There were also two British Type 77 rifles inside. That shows this guerrilla unit is quite capable; they managed to get their hands on such good stuff.

There are no Hanyang rifles. There are no old-style barrel rifles. They must have been completely phased out.

Too lazy to walk.

They just wanted to wait for the rabbit to run into their trap.

Yes, this vicinity is three kilometers away.

There were also red dots nearby. One hundred and fifty men, probably a company of Japanese invaders.

The weaponry did not include heavy machine guns, but it had several Type 96 light machine guns, grenade launchers, and one Type 92 infantry gun.

Overall, the firepower of this Japanese squadron was quite formidable.

Crucially, it also has strong mobility.

If they operate in squadron formations, it will be difficult for the Eighth Route Army to wipe them out.

Unless it's a main force, ordinary guerrilla units or armed work teams have no way to deal with such a Japanese company.

Next to the red dot, there are more than a hundred semi-red dots. Is this a company of puppet troops?

With such a large-scale sweep, the Japanese invaders would definitely send their puppet troops to lead the charge. Many of the dirty and arduous tasks were ordered to be done by the puppet troops.

Raise the gun.

"Oh!"

Fire a shot into the air.

Wait a moment.

"Oh!"

Another shot.

They deliberately lured the Japanese invaders here.

Of course, it also serves to lure in nearby guerrillas, allowing them to wait in ambush.

Although the Commissioner's physical abilities have been repeatedly enhanced, he will still slack off whenever he has the chance.

For example, let the Japanese invaders travel on their own. Then you can wait leisurely.

"Oh!"

Another shot was fired into the sky.

This is a warning to the Japanese invaders. There's an emergency here. Come quickly.

however……

Something doesn't seem right.

The Japanese company remained silent. They probably didn't hear the gunfire.

After all, the distance was quite far. Three kilometers. By the time the gunshots reached them, they would likely be very faint.

How to do?
Of course there is a way.

Take out a 10-kilogram explosive charge.

Light the fuse. Throw it on the ground. Then quickly flee.

"Rumble..."

A deafening roar followed.

Zhang Yong himself was so shocked that his eardrums were ringing. It took him a long time to recover.

sloppy...

I almost hurt myself.

Fortunately, the violent explosion still had its uses.

The radar map showed that the red dots were starting to move in their direction. They had clearly detected something.

Meanwhile, anti-Japanese guerrillas nearby were also quietly approaching.

They were few in number, so they were very cautious.

The two British Type 77 rifles were likely the main force of the guerrillas, flanking the ranks.

But strangely, the owners of these two British Type 77 rifles weren't yellow-dot soldiers. They were probably seasoned veterans, skilled marksmen, but lacking in moral character.

There's no time to be lazy now. I have to take action myself.

Lurk in the darkness.

Using radar maps as a guide, they approached the guerrillas.

The other party is armed. Therefore, please be extremely careful.

In the darkness, misunderstandings could arise at any moment. He didn't want to die so soon.

Seize the opportunity.

It appeared suddenly.

They kidnapped one of their team members without a sound.

Knock them unconscious first. Then carry them away.

This guerrilla fighter was walking on the outermost edge. He was actually very vigilant.

Unfortunately, he encountered Zhang Yong...

They were easily arrested.

He carried the other person about 300 meters away before finally waking them up.

"One of our own."

Zhang Yong lowered his voice, but it was very clear.

The guerrilla fighter he kidnapped was actually a veteran with a certain status.

He wouldn't catch a complete novice.

As expected, the other party remained silent, instead carefully observing Zhang Yong by the moonlight.

In the south, the moonlight in Guilin is beautiful. On the North China Plain, however, the moonlight is rather dim, mainly due to the abundance of clouds in the sky.

"I'll give you some weapons and ammunition. Go back and find your captain."

"Just tell him that I want to fight the Japanese invaders with him."

"I brought you here and communicated with you beforehand to avoid any misunderstandings."

Zhang Yong's words were concise and to the point.

At the same time, tie the other person's hands together.

Then he took out five Mauser 4-ring rifles and slung them all over the other person's back.

He then took out two heavy bags of Mauser rifle ammunition and hung them around the other man's neck. There were about eight hundred rounds in total.

Those Type 79 rifles also used Mauser rifle cartridges. They were universal.

He then took out a cloth bag containing British 77mm bullets and hung it on the other person's back.

These bullets are very hard to find. A bag contains four hundred rounds. That's enough for them for many days.

"Can I still bring it?" Zhang Yong patted the other person's shoulder.

"Yes," the other party replied.

"Okay." Zhang Yong then continued to increase the stakes for the other party.

Two more bags of Mauser rifle ammunition and one bag of British 7.7mm ammunition were added. There were also two Mauser 4-ring bullets.

It only stopped when the other party finally felt that it carried significant weight.

He straightened the other person's body and said, "Keep walking forward and you'll find your teammates."

“Explain the situation to them, then come back here,” Zhang Yong continued. “We’ll meet here. Don’t let any misunderstandings happen.”

"Who exactly are you?" the guerrilla fighter asked slowly.

"I'm in the arms business," Zhang Yong replied casually. "I'd like to do some business with you, selling you some weapons."

You're going to sell us weapons?

"Correct."

"We don't have the money. We can't afford it."

"We can exchange them for the heads of the Japanese invaders."

"Really?"

"Of course! The weapons and ammunition I'm giving you now will have to be exchanged for the heads of the Japanese invaders later."

"Then, what is your surname?" "My name is Chen Feng."

Zhang Yong remembered a name.

I'm just borrowing it temporarily. The other party shouldn't mind.

Chen Feng was in Cangyun Ridge looking for Li Yunlong to do business with. He himself was in the North China Plain.

"Mr. Chen?"

"Go. Make it clear to your captain. If you want weapons and ammunition, trade them for the heads of the Japanese invaders."

"understood."

The guerrilla fighter left in a hurry.

Zhang Yong silently observed the radar map. The enemy quickly rejoined their own forces.

A little while later, a yellow dot and a white dot walked towards me.

The white dot is the former team member. The yellow dot is probably a key member, or perhaps the guerrilla leader.

"Hello, Mr. Chen."

"Hello, Captain Wu."

The meeting went smoothly. After all, a gift was presented.

Five Mauser 4-ring rifles. Brand new. And so many Mauser rifle cartridges.

And, incredibly, it even had British 77mm bullets. That's extremely rare.

Captain Wu was wearing an Eighth Route Army uniform, faded from washing and patched layer upon layer.

Zhang Yong noticed that the other person's left foot seemed to be injured. Their movements weren't as agile. Was that why they were leading a guerrilla force?
After all, the main force of the Eighth Route Army often needed to undertake forced marches. If someone had a leg injury, they certainly wouldn't be able to keep up with the troops.

"Mr. Chen, do you have more weapons and ammunition?"

"Correct."

"No money? Just the heads of the Japanese invaders?"

"Correct."

"Kill a Japanese soldier, and you get a rifle in return?"

"No."

"That……"

"If you eliminate a small Japanese squad, you'll receive the equipment of a company. If you eliminate a company of Japanese troops, you'll receive the equipment of a battalion. And so on."

"Really?"

"Of course!"

"However, we do not have the strength to wipe out an entire organized Japanese army. We cannot afford to provoke even a small Japanese squad of a dozen or so men."

Captain Wu spoke the truth.

It's not that I don't want to. It's that I can't. I'm incapable of doing it.

Even a small Japanese detachment was quite formidable in combat.

There was a light machine gun and a grenade launcher, and the Japanese soldiers were also very accurate marksmen.

If it were a main force encounter, in a one-on-one fight, there might be a chance. But for these guerrillas, that's absolutely impossible.

To attack rashly is tantamount to suicide.

"Then let me give you another gift!"

Zhang Yong followed the tropes from the novel exactly. He took out a mortar.

60 mm caliber. Range approximately 1500 meters.

"This is……"

"These are for you."

"Thank you!"

Captain Wu was overjoyed.

This is great stuff! It can kill enemies from a distance.

They would hit and run, leaving the Japanese invaders completely helpless.

“There’s a Japanese company nearby, less than three miles away…”

"what?"

Captain Wu's expression immediately changed.

The others immediately tensed up as well.

A Japanese company?
That's really dangerous.

Totally unbeatable.

There is also the possibility of being surrounded.

Encountering even a small squad of Japanese invaders was extremely dangerous.

Let alone a squadron?
It's not that they're afraid. It's that they really can't win!

"There's also a company of puppet troops."

"what?"

"Don't worry, we have cannons."

"what?"

"Set up the cannons. Fire and leave!"

"I won't……"

"I know how. I sell weapons. I know how to use them. Listen to me."

"it is good."

Captain Wu had no objection.

The other party sells weapons. Of course they know how to use them!

If you sell products that you yourself don't even know how to use, how can you expect anyone else to buy them?

So they set up the cannons.

Zhang Yong casually measured and aimed.

"Oh, by the way, I'll give you a few telescopes for free."

"what?"

"don't want?"

“Yes, yes, yes.”

Captain Wu quickly took the binoculars from him.

Thinking to myself, these Mr. Chen guys are really generous. They're even giving away binoculars for free!

Zhang Yong then handed the two binoculars to the others.

They all hurriedly raised their binoculars and carefully observed the distance.

Under the dim moonlight, we could indeed see the Japanese invaders and their puppet troops. Because of their large numbers, they were quite conspicuous.

Moreover, the Japanese invaders and their puppet troops did not completely conceal themselves. There was firelight.

Zhang Yong inserted a shell into the cannon barrel.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud. The shell was fired.

A dozen seconds later, the shell landed precisely in the Japanese troops' ranks.

"boom……"

The shell exploded, sending up a burst of fire.

It landed precisely next to the Japanese infantry gun.

After the explosion, the area around the Japanese infantry guns was completely empty. The Japanese artillery suffered heavy casualties.

"Bang!"

"boom……"

"Bang!"

"boom……"

Zhang Yong continued to focus on launching the missiles.

The max-level player returned to the beginner village and felt good.

Even with only a dozen or so guerrilla fighters around him, he wasn't afraid at all.

First, take out the Japanese Type 92 infantry guns.

"boom……"

"boom……"

After a series of explosions, the Japanese infantry artillery was destroyed.

Several Japanese soldiers attempted to rush forward to salvage the infantry guns, but were repeatedly blown away by accurate shells, resulting in numerous casualties.

"idiot!"

"hateful!"

The Japanese company commander shouted angrily.

But he was consumed by impotent rage. He could only watch helplessly as the infantry guns were destroyed.

As a specially equipped long-range main force of the squadron, he was killed before he could even find where the Eighth Route Army was.

Outrageous anger.

But it didn't work.

"Mr. Chen, you're amazing! Did you serve in the military before?"

"No."

"So how did you develop your skills?"

“Practice makes perfect.”

"Good, good! That's great!"

Captain Wu didn't press the matter. He watched the shells explode with excitement.

After destroying the infantry guns, the shells began to turn towards the area with the dense red dots. Every shot hit its mark.

Almost every shell that landed took the lives of one or two Japanese soldiers. Many were also wounded.

On the flat, open plains, mortars were perfectly suited to be effective.

However, the Japanese grenade launchers had insufficient range and could not reach the targets for the time being.

"Kill Jiji!"

"Kill Jiji!"

However, the Japanese invaders quickly devised a solution.

It means launching an attack. Quickly closing in. Getting right up to the enemy as fast as possible.

And you know what? This trick actually worked.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Guerrilla fighters opened fire.

But the distance was too great. It was impossible to hit them.

If the Japanese invaders got closer, their hit rate would probably be higher. It's not worth it.

"withdraw!"

Zhang Yong waved his hand.

Put the mortar away.

The Japanese invaders outnumbered us, and we couldn't defeat them for the time being.

First, fly kites. This will disperse the Japanese invaders, then defeat them one by one.

"Comrades, let's go!"

Captain Wu gave a signal and led his team in retreat.

They walked ahead, and the Japanese invaders chased after them. The two sides gradually drifted apart. Before they knew it, dawn had broken.

Find a place to rest.

Everyone is very tired.

Yet I dared not truly rest. I even slept with my eyes open.

Because nobody knew if there were Japanese invaders nearby. They didn't know if the enemy would suddenly appear.

Such situations are all too common. They can be described as extremely dangerous.

Only Zhang Yong, relying on the system's vigilance, slept soundly, completely unconcerned.

The system will alert you if Japanese troops approach.

As a result, I was woken up by the system's warning sound not long after I fell asleep.

It is true that Japanese invaders are approaching.

The number of people was still quite large. A company, plus a battalion of puppet troops.

He frowned slightly.

The situation doesn't seem to be as ideal as it appears.

There were too many enemies. If it were him, of course he would be fine.

However, having a dozen or so guerrillas was a bit of a problem. If they wanted to teach the Japanese invaders a lesson, they needed to find another way.

"You two, come with me!"

Zhang Yong decided to change his tactics, using hit-and-run tactics against the Japanese invaders.

Those two using British 77 rifles must be pretty good marksmen. Perfect, I'll take them out for a spin.

Sniping and sniping can be effective. They can put the Japanese troops under high alert, causing them to make poor judgments, and also attract nearby enemy and friendly forces.

It's okay if the enemy comes. The key is that things will be much easier if friendly forces arrive.

set off.

It was close to the Japanese invaders.

Japanese soldiers had scouts searching ahead.

A dozen or so Japanese scouts, armed with Type 38 rifles, were scattered in formation.

They were a full kilometer away from the main Japanese force behind them. Clearly, ambushing them would be extremely difficult. It would be very hard to do.

Fortunately, Zhang Yong's objective was not to ambush the enemy, but to kill them directly.

Raise the gun.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

Two shots were fired.

A Japanese scout fell to the ground, dying instantly.

The Mahjong game begins.
