Spy Shadow: Command & Conquer

Chapter 2068, Victory Day (01)

[Encountering force majeure]

[I've been locked in a small dark room for many days now]

[At this point, I can only try to write a relatively complete ending.]

……

1945 8 Month 15 Day.

It's approaching noon.

Shanghai.

Massen Road.

An ordinary, unremarkable house.

Zhang Yong glanced at his watch; the Japanese surrender proclamation was about to be broadcast.

The situation is okay for now.

Li Boqi is still alive.

Although my physical condition is not good. I look very haggard.

After all, he had stayed in Shanghai for six years. A full six years! He hadn't left for a single day.

Don't even talk about achieving anything; just surviving is already a remarkable feat.

The intelligence front is truly agonizing.

Quiet.

Only the second hand of the wall clock was ticking.

There was no excitement.

I wasn't nervous.

"I killed them all."

"Who?"

Zhang Yong was puzzled.

Why did Li Boqi suddenly bring up this topic?

Who did he kill?

Japanese invaders?

Traitor?

Isn't that normal?

"Those Japanese invaders you investigated before who were tortured and killed."

"is it?"

Zhang Yong was suspicious. He didn't quite believe it.

On several occasions, Li Boqi had an alibi.

Unless he has a clone, or he arranged for someone else to kill him.

but……

"The child's mother killed him when I wasn't there."

"you……"

"In 1928, the Japanese invaders ravaged Jinan. My child was only three years old when he was unfortunately hit by a stray bullet..."

"..."

Zhang Yong remained silent.

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder he hated the Japanese invaders so much.

He eventually went from being a primary school teacher to becoming a member of the Blue Shirts Society (Revival Society).

His initial goal was to eliminate the Japanese invaders and expel the Manchus. However, he later discovered that his hopes gradually turned into disappointment.

The Kuomintang (KMT) was not genuinely committed to resisting Japan; in fact, it suppressed resistance against Japan.

So he began to secretly sympathize with the Red Party and help them.

However, he still had blood on his hands from the Red Party, so he dared not go any further.

"Mengde Meeting..."

"It was founded by the child's mother. I also helped out a little."

"So, the first time I came out of Citibank carrying a suitcase, you knew I was up to something?"

"No. I'm not sure. I just feel like you're acting a little strange. But it's a good thing."

"Oh……"

Zhang Yong seemed to be deep in thought.

No wonder Li Boqi said back then that once it was lost, it was lost.

Unexpectedly, the founder of the Mengde Society was actually Li Boqi's wife, his teacher's wife.

"That……"

"She passed away the year before last. The Mengde Society has also disbanded."

"Ugh……"

"Yan Ruzi and Mei Wanjun are now with you. Mengde Society no longer has any reason to exist."

"Uh……"

Zhang Yong hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

He clicked his tongue inwardly in amazement.

It turned out that Li Boqi knew about his relationship with the two of them.

However, the old team leader didn't reveal a single word.

That's incredibly calculating.

No wonder they were able to hold out for six years under the noses of the Japanese invaders.

Even if Boss Dai himself were in charge, he might not be able to do it. A large number of people from the Military Intelligence Bureau were arrested.

Wang Tianmu and Chen Gongshu are currently trapped in No. 76.

Look at your watch.

Time is up.

Sure enough, the radio started playing its overture.

Then came a hoarse, low, and frustrated voice reciting the script.

This is the surrender document issued by the Japanese invaders.

They euphemistically called it the end of the war, while desperately avoiding the words "defeat" and "surrender."

However, no matter how the Japanese invaders tried to glorify it, they could not escape the fact that they accepted all the conditions of the Potsdam Declaration and laid down their arms.

Hmph, surrendering would actually be too good for them.

Zhang Yong's large-scale bombing plan has not stopped yet.

Starting last year, a large number of P-108 bombers took off from Quzhou Airport and launched air raids on the Japanese mainland.

Also involved were a large number of B-29 bombers from the U.S. Army Air Forces.

Later, the United States occupied Okinawa Island, which was closer to the Japanese mainland. Only then did the B-29 bombers withdraw.

Under Zhang Yong's guidance, every bombing raid was carried out to turn the target into a white area.

They used only napalm bombs. One explosion could destroy an entire area. One burn could destroy an entire area.

Enjoyable.

happy.

Unfortunately, there were no more important goals after that.

Now, the Japanese mainland has reverted to a feudal era. It has virtually no modern industry left.

As soon as they discover there are more, bombers will immediately come overhead.

Even a small workshop will be bombed without hesitation.

At that very moment, the Japanese invaders on their homeland could not even manufacture a single rifle or bullet.

They were at their wits' end, out of ammunition and food. This was their just deserts.

silence.

Quiet.

Until the Japanese surrender proclamation was fully played.

The boots hit the ground.

The overall situation has been decided.

An old era has come to an end.

A new era has begun.

"Drip!"

"Drip!"

The radio in my personal space is active.

The system automatically translated. It's a call from the entourage. But there's no rush.

The surrender announcement broadcast by the Japanese invaders is having a ripple effect. We need to let things settle down for a while. Zhang Yong also wants to relax!
We've won, so we have to... you know.

Then the music started, and then the dancing began.

"I suspect the entourage will be looking for you soon."

"What do you want from me?"

"I led the troops into Nanjing immediately."

"you guessed right."

"then you go!"

Li Boqi stood up. He was going to sleep.

Today, he needs a good night's sleep. A good night's sleep is the most reassuring thing.

Since arriving in Shanghai, he hasn't had a single good night's sleep. Not even once. He's always on high alert.

"Huang Chu!"

"To!"

"Lin Nansheng!"

"To!"

Two young men strode in excitedly.

The radar map shows two large, bright yellow dots. They are now team leaders.

They were Li Boqi's two most capable team leaders.

"Commissioner".

"You've all heard it. The Japanese have officially surrendered, and we have won."

"Commissioner, will the Japanese really surrender?"

"Will do."

"What if the Japanese devils, while out in the field, disobey orders from the emperor and refuse to carry out the imperial edict..."

"What awaits them is utter destruction!"

Zhang Yong was full of confidence.

He actually hoped the Japanese invaders would continue fighting.

Then completely eliminate it.

To avoid future resentment.

Unfortunately, the Japanese invaders will definitely surrender. They will definitely lay down their weapons.

Even though a small group of lower-ranking officers were dissatisfied, the higher-ranking officers had already lost their will to fight and were long since dejected.

People like Korechika Anami have long wanted to accept war.

Needless to say, the remaining high-ranking officers of the Japanese navy were also among them.

Even someone like Okamura Neiji knew very well that continuing to fight would only result in death.

As the Soviet Red Army swept in with overwhelming force, any resistance was futile.

Victory.

This is true. It cannot be reversed.

The Japanese invaders are finished.

"Commissioner, what are we supposed to do?" Huang Chu asked calmly.

"Arrest Ding Mocun," Zhang Yong said casually. "And all the key members of the 76th Division. Await my orders."

"Yes!" Huang Chu answered excitedly, then rubbed his hands together vigorously.

Number 76, this den of iniquity, has finally come to an end.

With the demise of the Japanese invaders, it also perished. All its evil deeds will be thoroughly investigated and punished.

"What about Li Shiqun?" Lin Nansheng asked. "Aren't you going to arrest him?"

“He’s an imposter. The real Li Shiqun died six years ago,” Zhang Yong replied casually. “Huh?” Huang Chu and Lin Nansheng exchanged bewildered glances. Both were incredulous.

The real Li Shiqun was actually dead long ago?
Were they killed by the specialist?
should be.

"Even though it's a fake, arrest it!"

"Yes."

"And Wang Jingwei's wife, Chen Bijun, should also be arrested."

"Yes."

"Chen Bijun is an important person; she will be handed over to the court for trial. Be careful not to let her commit suicide."

"clear."

"However, I doubt she had the courage to commit suicide."

Zhang Yong gave a slight, cold laugh.

Among so many traitors, who had the courage to commit suicide?
If they had the courage to commit suicide, how could they possibly become traitors? They would only desperately beg for mercy.

"Drip!"

"Drip!"

The radio inside the portable space started working again.

It's another call from the entourage. Honestly. Can't they even wait a moment? Why the rush?

Ultimately, the 5C communications center was activated, connecting to the attendant's room.

"Shaolong, your prediction was incredibly accurate. The Japanese really did announce a ceasefire..."

"It's not a ceasefire. It's surrender. Surrender with all conditions accepted."

"Yes, yes, yes. They surrendered. The Japanese surrendered. We won! We won!"

Director Lin was very excited. He was incoherent.

But that's normal. I guess everyone would be just as excited.

Except for Zhang Yong.

Finally, that day arrived.

The Japanese invaders finally admitted their defeat.

All the remaining Japanese invaders would lay down their weapons and surrender.

"What do you want from me?"

"Ah, ah, I'm looking for you, I'm looking for you, to Jinling! To Jinling!"

Director Lin almost forgot about it.

He couldn't help it; he was genuinely happy. Victory was finally achieved.

As the Japanese Emperor read out the proclamation of surrender, news of victory spread throughout China.

"Going to Jinling?"

"Yes. The Chairman wants you to lead the troops into Nanjing as soon as possible."

"Ok."

Zhang Yong agreed. Then he tilted his head.

It seems the Japanese Expeditionary Army headquarters hasn't sent anyone to contact the National Revolutionary Army yet!
The two sides have not yet coordinated on the specific handover procedures.

But it doesn't matter. Zhang Yong doesn't care. He can just go directly to Jinling.

Others wouldn't dare, nor would they. But Zhang Yong dared. And he truly could do it.

End the call.

Then they entered Nanjing, the headquarters of the Japanese Expeditionary Army.

From this moment forward, the Japanese invaders have surrendered. The 5C communications center is now able to connect to Japanese telephone lines.

"Moshi moshi..."

"I am Zhang Yong. I am looking for Okamura Yasuji."

"You dialed the wrong number..."

"Baka! Your Emperor has already declared a ceasefire. Do you want to continue fighting? Transfer the command immediately. Otherwise, you won't have enough heads to lose."

"..."

After a moment of silence, the other party finally began to transfer the call.

Those in the communications departments were naturally among the first to know about the Japanese invaders' proclamation of ending the war.

Whether accepted or not, the decree has been issued, informing the world.

Accept all the conditions of the Potsdam Declaration.

It simply means laying down arms, ceasing resistance, and surrendering unconditionally.

The transfer process took a long time.

It is estimated that the Japanese invaders made a special report.

Okamura Yasuji may also be considering whether or not to answer the phone.

But Zhang Yong was very patient.

Not answering? Then keep calling.

It's war.

It wasn't a phone call.

He'd love for Okamura Neiji to rebel!
at last……

Okamura Neiji's voice came through.

Exhausted. Hoarse.

Deserve it.

This is the most difficult time for them.

"Hey……"

"I am Zhang Yong."

"...What do you want to say?"

"Tonight, our airborne troops will be stationed in Nanjing."

"you……"

"As the commander of the expeditionary force, I hope you can coordinate the troops well. Avoid conflict. I don't want to see any conflict."

"is it?"

Okamura Neiji gave a cold reply.

You don't want to see conflict? Are you deliberately creating conflict?

Otherwise, why come so quickly?
Can't even wait a day?
Coming tonight?

Do you think I don't know what you're thinking, Zhang Yong?
You're deliberately looking for trouble.

Once the Japanese open fire, the enemy will definitely seize the opportunity to launch a fierce counterattack.

Now, air superiority was completely in Zhang Yong's hands, and the Japanese army could only endure the bombing. Faced with the dark mass of bombers, they had no way to retaliate.

Moreover, once he was labeled as having refused the imperial edict, the blame would fall entirely on Okamura Yasuji.

Baka! That bastard! A scoundrel!

But it was impotent rage.

The locust has already read out the proclamation of the end of the war, so what else can it do?

A general in the field may disobey the emperor's orders.

I can only dream about it.

Without food and supplies, how could it possibly resist?
The Kwantung Army had so many men, but the Soviet army wiped them out in one fell swoop.

The expeditionary force within the Great Wall had very limited food and ammunition reserves. They could only sustain themselves for a maximum of two months. Then they would automatically collapse.

Moreover, many division commanders, regimental commanders, and army commanders below had long since given up on fighting.

It seems that the soldiers of the Second Army stationed in Jinan have all been sent to work as long-term laborers for the Chinese. Otherwise, they would starve to death.

How else to fight?
What to fight with?

At the end of the road.

This is a cold, cruel reality.

Even if there were only the slightest glimmer of hope, the Heavenly Locust would never read out the imperial edict!

Did you come here in person?

"Of course not. A battalion will come first. About five hundred men."

"I will cooperate."

"it is good."

Zhang Yong ended the call.

The fight is over. Because the other side has lost the will to fight.

Okamura Yasuji has accepted reality. He has admitted defeat.

It's not his place to deny it.

With the Japanese mainland bombed into a wasteland, the expeditionary force was now a castle in the air, a rootless duckweed. It could topple over at the slightest breeze.

Therefore, it was not a big problem for the Nationalist Army's paratroopers to enter Nanjing.

The fanatics within the Japanese invaders had basically been wiped out on the battlefield.

And the last small group also died in yesterday's Tokyo incident.

Zhang Yong, using his position as the head of the Poisonous Organs, disposed of many people. They were all beheaded using the demon sword Muramasa.

The last group of fanatics, numbering about a thousand, were all beheaded and their heads displayed in public.

So, he only returned to Shanghai this morning.

ponder for a moment.

Connect to Changsha Airport.

I could immediately sense Min Gang's excitement.

It's unbearable. It's the kind of feeling that makes you want to jump up.

"Commissioner, we've won! We've won! We've won!"

"Yes. We won!"

"It was so difficult! So difficult! So difficult!"

"Yes."

Zhang Yong echoed the other party's sentiments.

To make an old ox so happy.

Indeed, this is a true victory since the First Sino-Japanese War, and even since the Opium War.

It was a complete victory.

It was a complete and utter victory.

For over a century, the land of China has been in a state of turmoil and chaos, with the people suffering immensely.

Now, peace has finally arrived. Hope has been found.

As a result, before the joy of victory had faded, the bald man started a civil war. How could the people possibly support him?

The country has finally achieved peace, and you're starting a war again. Who can stand that?
With great difficulty, Min Gang finally calmed down.

"Commissioner..."

"Immediately arrange transport planes to send a battalion of the 5th Parachute Regiment to Nanjing. They must arrive before dark."

Do we need fighter escort?

"Then let's deploy ten fighter squadrons."

"Ten?"

"Correct."

Zhang Yong gave a definite answer.

Since we're going, let's go as much as possible.

Ten formations, that's 120 aircraft, which isn't a lot.

Let's show the Japanese invaders what will happen if they don't surrender.

"Okay. I'll arrange it right away."

"Ah."

"Commissioner, will you go over there?"

"I'll postpone it. I have other things to do."

"clear."

Min Gang answered. Then the call ended.

Zhang Yong did indeed have other things to do.

what's up?

Of course, I'll personally arrest Kenji Doihara!
