Spy Shadow: Command & Conquer

Chapter 2063, Empty the place! Empty the place completely!

Zhang Yong stepped onto the Lugou Bridge.

I'm still a little emotional. Things have changed.

He reached out and touched the stone lions on the bridge railing.

It's cold. Very thick.

Some of the stone lions show signs of being hit by bullets. There is some damage.

But overall, it is basically intact.

They are silently recording everything that happens.

Changes in the sea.

Time passes.

Three years ago, he led his troops to fight against the Japanese invaders here. In the end, he regretfully withdrew from Beiping.

I thought I would have to wait eight years to have a chance to come back.

I never expected him to be back so soon. Only three years have passed.

"Boss Chen!"

"We have recaptured Wanping City."

"All the Japanese troops are retreating northward. They seem to have no intention of fighting."

Shen Zhao excitedly ran up.

Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he understood.

The situation was indeed a bit unexpected.

He thought Okamura Yasuji would hold out to the death.

At the very least, it will take many days of back-and-forth negotiations with him.

Unexpectedly, Okamura Neiji also ran away. And he ran away so quickly.

Radar maps show that the red dot is indeed moving north.

But there was no chaos.

It must have been an organized retreat.

Those half-red dots were a chaotic mess.

"Don't chase poor bandits."

"clear."

Shen Zhao excitedly agreed.

Then he patted his head. He had forgotten something very important.

"Look at my head!"

"I was just too happy to care."

"Mr. Chen, you might not believe it, but the Japanese invaders didn't even bother to pack up their warehouse in Wanping before they rushed off. Now all the supplies in the warehouse—food, ammunition, clothing, and so on—are ours."

Shen Zhao's cheeks flushed.

It's pure excitement.

There was no way around it; he was genuinely very excited.

Not only did they eliminate the Japanese invaders, but they also seized so many of their belongings.

The weapons and ammunition delivered by Boss Chen were indeed of good quality. However, capturing them from the Japanese invaders brought a greater sense of accomplishment and honor.

The Japanese devils kept sweeping through the base area, trying to plunder its supplies.

As a result, the tables have turned, and now it's our turn to rob the Japanese invaders of their supplies. Hehe. This feels so good!

"Contact the follow-up troops. Empty the place. Empty it completely."

"it is good."

"Not a single grain of rice will be left for the Japanese invaders."

"it is good."

Shen Zhao went excitedly.

He took two steps, then suddenly turned back.

He was so happy he was completely overwhelmed. His brain was totally overloaded.

I forgot something again.

"By the way, Mr. Chen, where's the next step?"

"Let's go to Nanyuan Airport first."

"it is good."

Shen Zhao immediately turned around and gave the order.

The vanguard of the troops quickly turned east and headed towards Nanyuan Airport.

Radar maps showed that the Japanese planes were completely still. They were all on the ground.

I thought I was seeing things.

Rub your eyes. Look again. You're sure it's true.

There really were Japanese planes at Nanyuan Airport. They didn't take off immediately.

This included six Type 96 bombers and twelve Type 97 fighters. All of these were currently in service with the Japanese Army Air Force.

There were also some reconnaissance aircraft and the like. These were relatively old models.

In terms of technical performance, the Japanese army air force was completely incomparable to the navy air force.

The Navy has already brought out the famous Zero fighter, while the Army Aviation seems to have only brought out the Type 1 and Shiden fighters later on.

By that time, due to the lack of raw materials and the frequent bombings of factories, the quality of the aircraft could no longer be guaranteed.

A final burst of energy before the battle was over. It had no impact whatsoever on the overall situation.

"kill!"

"kill!"

The Eighth Route Army soldiers stormed into Nanyuan Airport.

Faced with the overwhelming influx of Eighth Route Army soldiers, the Japanese invaders at Nanyuan Airport were terrified.

"Nani?"

"Eighth Route Army?"

All kinds of exclamations came and went.

Many Japanese soldiers found it hard to believe and stood there dumbfounded.

At this moment, their minds are completely blank. Their brains are still there, but they are no longer functioning.

Damn!

The Eighth Route Army has stormed the airport!
They received absolutely no warning. Nobody alerted them.

idiot!

It's absolutely certain that Okamura Neiji deliberately forgot about them.

"quick!"

"Quickly! Report to the Director of Aviation!"

"quick!"

The Japanese invaders were completely thrown into chaos.

They watched helplessly as the Eighth Route Army soldiers stormed into the airport.

Ruined……

It's all because of that damned Okamura Neiji!
These Japanese soldiers from the Army Air Force certainly didn't think they had done anything wrong.

In fact, they were the ones who first cut off direct telephone lines with the North China Front Army, to avoid being asked to participate in the war.

So when danger struck, the army's staff couldn't get through to the army aviation department, so they just gave up.

Meanwhile, the staff officers were also full of resentment. They felt that the Army Aviation Corps never helped them before. Now, they weren't even familiar with the officers. They didn't care about the officers' lives!

then……

"Da da da……"

"Clap clap clap..."

Various gunshots rang out fiercely at the airport.

How could the Japanese airport guards be a match for the ferocious Eighth Route Army?
These three thousand Eighth Route Army soldiers were armed to the teeth by Zhang Yong.

The vanguard were all veterans. Their equipment was almost entirely Czech-made light machine guns; their firepower was extremely intense.

For those veterans, charging forward with a Czech light machine gun was basic training.

Its firing accuracy is extremely high, and it fires automatically. It's perfect for clearing paths.

What to do if ammunition is being used up too quickly?
It's alright. Boss Chen is right behind us. He'll replenish supplies as needed.

There are also some 40mm rocket launchers.

"call!"

"boom……"

If you encounter a fortified Japanese stronghold, use a rocket launcher directly.

After a period of actual combat, the veterans of the Eighth Route Army became very proficient in using rocket launchers.

Basically, one shot equals one firing point.

If one shot isn't enough, then two shots will do.

What if we run out of rockets? No problem. Boss Chen is right behind us.

"call!"

"boom……"

"Rumble..."

An oil depot at the Japanese-occupied airport was destroyed.

A burst of flames erupted into the sky. A tall column of black smoke rose from the ground. The ground trembled violently.

"Damn..."

"Airport……"

As Okamura Yasuji was reluctantly retreating north, he subconsciously turned around.

Then I realized I might have made a small mistake.

Nanyuan Airport was attacked.

Those idiots in the Army Aviation Corps didn't even evacuate beforehand.

Are they pigs?
The gunfire over there has been going on for so long, how come we didn't hear it?

As expected, the Army Aviation Corps is becoming increasingly foolish.

Fortunately, I didn't ask them to launch an attack. Otherwise, the bombs might have landed on the Japanese soldiers themselves.

Unfortunately, the Army Air Force is about to lose another batch of bombers and fighters.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

The Army Aviation Corps has to clean up its own mess.

Anyway, Okamura Neiji will absolutely not take the blame.

The city is now in complete chaos.

In that situation, it was impossible for it to control the situation.

The thought of staying in the city vanished in less than a second. It wouldn't do something so foolish.

Zhang Yong has arrived.

Staying in the city means certain death.

It's even more terrifying than death.

What if we're captured alive, and then a public trial is held...?

Nanjing has been attacked twice.

All the high-ranking Japanese officers fled without hesitation.

With those precedents in mind, whatever we do is normal. Leaving them behind would be abnormal.

Zhang Yong came with great force.

We must temporarily avoid direct confrontation.

Fortunately, the headquarters in Changping is still there and usable.

Once we retreat there, we should be safe.

Indeed, the former army commander was farsighted!

Setting up the headquarters inside the city was indeed dangerous.

Who knows when Zhang Yong will launch a surprise attack?
"Rumble..."

"Rumble..."

This is the fuel depot and ammunition depot at Nanyuan Airport, which are being detonated.

Heavy artillery couldn't keep up for the time being. But those rocket launchers were still quite powerful. After all, they were products of a later era.

It can breach the armor of a T-62 tank. Let alone an ordinary wall?

If one shot isn't enough, fire a few more.

"Boss Chen."

"Boss Chen."

Zhang Yong also arrived at Nanyuan Airport.

The chaos here is even more severe than in Wanping.

The Japanese invaders either fled or went into hiding. They didn't even have time to cause any damage. The equipment and facilities were basically intact.

If any were damaged, they were all blown up by the Eighth Route Army itself.

Tilted head.

Soldiers can be quite adorable sometimes.

You might say they were brutal, but they also knew how to protect all the planes. They didn't destroy them.

But to be fair, they were quite shrewd, as they also managed to blow up the fuel depot and ammunition depot.

Nanyuan Airport had three fuel depots and three ammunition depots, all of which were destroyed in the explosion. A huge crater appeared on the ground afterward.

There was suspicion that the soldiers were showing off the power of the 40mm rocket launcher. However, there was no evidence.

Or perhaps they didn't realize the power of the fuel and ammunition depots. Fortunately, no friendly fire was hit.

"Boss Chen!"

"Commander Shen!"

Shen Zhao was as busy as a robot.

He was very physically strong and had excellent stamina. He was constantly moving around the battlefield.

Of course, the biggest factor could also be that he was too excited. Excessive adrenaline secretion made it impossible for him to calm down.

"how is the situation?"

“Very good. Excellent. Everything is ours. The entire airport is ours.”

"Uh……"

"So many radio stations. So many wires. So many telephones..."

Shen Zhao was already rambling incoherently.

There's nothing I can do; he was simply too excited and couldn't express himself clearly.

Previously, they were already incredibly excited about capturing a Japanese warehouse in Wanping. Now, it's even more outrageous—they've captured an entire Japanese airfield!
"Notify the follow-up troops! Empty everything!"

"it is good."

When Shen Zhao runs, it feels like he has springs installed under his feet.

What? Tired? Not at all. As long as he wins battles in a row, he can go three days and three nights without sleep.

Only Zhang Yong remained calm.

An airport was captured? Indeed.

The remaining Japanese troops fled in droves.

Six Type 96 bombers. Twelve Type 97 fighters.

Everything is intact.

As far as I can remember, this was the first time I had ever captured so many Japanese planes.

I really wanted to post it on WeChat Moments to show off. But I held back in the end.

My current identity is Boss Chen, not Specialist Zhang.

What to do with so many planes?
Drive it back?

It seems to be of little use. The performance of these aircraft is quite average.

He now has P-40 fighter jets and B-10 bombers.

They no longer regard the Japanese invaders as worthy of respect.

finally……

"Somebody come!"

"arrive."

"Keep this plane. Bomb the rest."

"what?"

The Eighth Route Army company commander was taken aback.

It's such a pity.

"We can't take it with us. We can't leave it to the Japanese invaders."

"understood."

The Eighth Route Army company commander immediately made the arrangements.

Soon, a plane delivered a 10-kilogram explosive charge, which was then placed in the cockpit.

Light the fuse...

"boom……"

A deafening explosion. The Japanese plane was instantly destroyed.

In fact, a single hand grenade would be enough to shred them. Let alone a ten-kilogram explosive charge.

"boom……"

"boom……"

The explosions continued.

In the end, except for one Type 97 fighter jet, all the others were destroyed.

This Type 97 fighter jet was, of course, left to him by Zhang Yong. He could simply fly away from Beiping to other places.

"Boss Chen, we've captured a lot of Japanese technical personnel."

"Technicians?"

"Correct."

Shen Zhaolai reports.

Most of the Japanese troops at Nanyuan Airport fled.

However, some were unable to escape. Realizing the situation was dire, they raised their hands in surrender.

These Japanese soldiers were unarmed and did not resist. According to the discipline of the Eighth Route Army, they were naturally not shot. They were then all gathered together.

"Have the follow-up troops take it away. You'll need it later."

"it is good."

Shen Zhao immediately sent someone to make arrangements.

They said there were three thousand people. In reality, there were always people following behind them.

All the spoils of war were quickly moved away.

If the plane could be moved, it probably would have been. Unfortunately, it can't be moved.

The radio station and everything else were moved away.

Zhang Yong secretly released another thirty radios, which were mixed in with the spoils of war.

Other items like electrical wires, telephones, food, and medicine were all taken away, of course. Not even a single thread was left.

"report!"

"There's no one left at the Japanese headquarters."

"Oh?"

Zhang Yong seemed to be deep in thought.

We absolutely must visit Okamura Yasuji's headquarters.

I thought this old Japanese soldier would hold out tenaciously. I never expected him to run so fast.

"Tattoo..."

"Tattoo..."

He rode his horse to the headquarters of the Japanese North China Area Army.

The place is now deserted.

Upon entering, they found the place in complete disarray. Clearly, the Japanese had left in a great hurry.

The ground was littered with trash. There were also some telegrams. Obviously, there wasn't even time to burn them.

Ha ha.

sneer.

Neiji Okamura, you've finally met your match.

"Somebody come!"

"exist."

"Arrange for someone to paint a few large slogans here."

"it is good."

"Also, paint it on prominent places throughout the city."

"it is good."

Shen Zhao was also a troublemaker.

Before, I was too reserved. Now, I have no inhibitions.

They've already reached Okamura Yasuji's headquarters. He'll be able to brag about this honor for the rest of his life.

As long as no one is sacrificed, even if Li Yunlong were to appear, he would have to salute Shen Zhao upon seeing him.

Why should I?

Just because someone else was able to attack Okamura Yasuji's headquarters.

Who else can do that?

Zhang Yong sat down as well.

He sat in the armchair of Okamura Yasuji.

That's Okamura Yasuji's desk up there.

The desk was very clean. The writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone were all there. There was also a jade paperweight.

Take out a pen and letter paper.

I'm going to write a few words for Okamura Yasuji.

What should I write?
"We will meet again."

Correct.

Just those few words.

Then write your name and the date.

Finally, I picked up the jade paperweight and carefully pressed it down.

Get it done.

Leave.

They left the headquarters of the Japanese Army Area Forces.

"report!"

"A group of Japanese invaders has been discovered putting up a stubborn resistance."

"It's right over at Taisho Bank."

A messenger reported this.

Zhang Yong had already noticed it.

A dense cluster of red dots, crowded together.

So it was a bank run by the Japanese invaders!
Okay, let's take them all at once.

The lethality of the 40mm rocket launcher may be slightly insufficient.

But it's okay. We still have a powerful weapon.

Arrange for the 88mm gun to arrive immediately.

They were resistant to all artillery fire. Of course, they weren't afraid of the Japanese invaders' bank buildings.

They came before the Japanese invaders.

Sure enough, all the Japanese soldiers were crowded inside.

The bank building is very sturdy. It is made of reinforced concrete.

Conservative estimates suggest that some sections of the wall may be over one meter thick. Even the weakest point should be at least eighty centimeters.

If it were a conventional weapon, it would indeed be quite difficult to blow it up.

However, with the 88mm gun, there's nothing to fear.

Move into firing position.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

Fire simultaneously.

Instantly, a section of the building's exterior wall collapsed.

However, it was indeed sturdy. A single shot failed to penetrate it.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

Continue firing.

They were all aiming at the same spot.

Finally, a large hole was blown open in the building's exterior wall.

"boom……"

The shell exploded inside.

It was packed with Japanese invaders.

When the shell went in, it was like blood porridge had exploded inside.

Continue firing.

Zhang Yong remained calm.

The Japanese invaders brought this upon themselves. They thought they could escape it.

joke.

Even Okamura Neiji ran away, and you guys still haven't run away.

All I can say is, you deserve it.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Continue firing.

Until the building walls were completely blown open.

The Japanese troops inside were crammed together and wanted to fight back, to fight desperately, but they couldn't break out.

Zhang Yong: ...

Sigh, it's still a bit of a shame!
At this point, it would be great to have a flamethrower.

A series of raging flames swept in, roasting all the Japanese invaders until they smelled like the sacred toilets of Yasukuni...

"Crash..."

"Crash..."

Finally, a section inside collapsed.

The shells kept going in. They kept exploding inside.

"boom……"

"boom……"

The continuous explosions tossed you up again and again.

Crush it. Crush it again.

The radar map shows that there are still twenty or thirty red dots.

But don't worry about it. It's probably not dead yet. It will disappear in a little while.

Raise your hand.

He ordered a cessation of firing.

Then they searched everywhere for buildings where Japanese soldiers might be hiding.

If there are a significant number of Japanese troops hiding there, head over immediately. First, bombard them with rocket launchers.

If rocket launchers can't solve the problem, then use the 88mm gun.

Within the city, the ground is in good condition, and with vehicles towing it, the 88mm gun can still be used for mobile warfare.

"quick!"

"quick!"

Zhang Yong was in charge of mopping up the remaining Japanese invaders.

The others were responsible for searching for Japanese supply depots.

Any useful supplies discovered were immediately moved. In fact, all supplies are useful.

Even the loincloths of the Japanese invaders could be used as footrests...

Occupy the train station.

Make use of all the trains.

All the supplies in the city were transported out by train.

As an important stronghold of the Japanese invaders, Beiping naturally had a large reserve of supplies.

Okamura Yasuji never expected this outcome. Therefore, the supplies were never evacuated beforehand.

They made a fortune...

They made a fortune...

"what?"

Zhang Yong suddenly saw a familiar face.

Zhao Guanglin.

That hidden Red Party member.

I've dealt with them before.

Zhao Guanglin also noticed Zhang Yong. He was somewhat surprised.

He nodded in acknowledgment. That was enough of a greeting. This wasn't the appropriate occasion for a face-to-face meeting.

"Boss Chen!"

Someone called from behind. It was a stranger.

He was accompanied by several Eighth Route Army soldiers. They were probably his bodyguards.

Behind them was a company of Eighth Route Army soldiers. They were clearly elite. Each one of them concealed their killing intent.

"You are……"

"Song Fusheng. Section 3."

"Oh, so you're Commander Song. Hello."

"I have long admired Mr. Chen's name."

"You're too kind. Commander Song, is there something you need from me?"

"By order of the military region commander, I am responsible for fully cooperating with Boss Chen's next move."

"Next step?"

Zhang Yong seemed to be deep in thought.

He had already stormed into Beiping.

What to do next?
