Spy Shadow: Command & Conquer

Chapter 2073, the gun barrel was red-hot...

After dealing with the Japanese invaders, it was the turn of the traitors.

There weren't many major traitors in Fengtian. They went into hiding extremely quickly.

Clearly, in terms of survival, the Japanese invaders were far inferior to the traitors. Those traitors were all experts.

When the Soviet army arrived, their focus was on fighting the Japanese invaders, and they didn't have time to deal with the traitors.

In fact, even at this moment, the fighting in the three northeastern provinces has not completely stopped.

In a few isolated places, there were still sporadic resistances from the Japanese invaders.

The Soviet army had not yet deployed to every location. The inescapable net had not yet been cast.

After all, the Soviet offensive had only lasted for a little over ten days. Their reach hadn't been fully extended yet.

Those blank areas should actually be left to be filled by the anti-Japanese armed forces.

Unfortunately, after repeated sweeps by the Japanese invaders, the anti-Japanese armed forces in the three northeastern provinces were already very weak.

The Anti-Japanese Allied Forces that followed the Soviet army numbered only a little over 10,000.

The Soviets did not arrange for Zhang Yong to make contact with the Anti-Japanese United Army. This was likely due to concerns about a potential conflict between the two sides.

After all, Zhang Yong represented the Kuomintang, while the Anti-Japanese United Army represented the Red Army.

But if you need to do the dirty work, go to Zhang Yong.

They know their stuff well. They're experts at taking the blame.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Gunshots rang out.

Those traitors who were caught were all executed.

Zhang Yong led his troops to search everywhere in Fengtian City.

Anyone with a half-red dot was rounded up and executed without a word.

Extremely brutal.

Extremely brutal.

No matter how much the other party begs for mercy, they will never let go.

Zhang Yong knew very well that those heinous traitors were absolutely incapable of repentance.

They wept bitterly, wailing and rolling on the ground, not because they regretted their actions, reflected on their mistakes, or wanted to change. They were terrified. Terrified to death.

Once they regain power, they will become even more ruthless and brutal.

To deal with such people, we must use Yan Shuangying's method—only death. Leave no one alive.

"Da da da……"

"Da da da……"

There were too many people. In the end, MG42s were deployed.

After two days of thorough cleaning, the radar map finally showed fewer of the semi-red dots.

However, there must be more outside the radar map area.

Although the Japanese surrendered, the markings on the radar maps remained unchanged.

Perhaps we'll have to wait until September 2nd?
Or perhaps even longer?
"Commissioner!" Vadim rushed over. "We've located Kandedi."

"Where is it?" Zhang Yong raised his eyebrows. This is a big fish!

People don't matter. What matters is money.

That old guy probably still has a lot of money around him.

We must find a way to get it into our own hands.

Otherwise, the Russians would definitely take everything, leaving nothing behind.

The Russian reinforcements have now begun dismantling all the valuable machinery and equipment and moving it back to Russia.

The feeling was as if, since I was here, I had to make a killing.

The Japanese invaders were indeed dealt with. But they also took everything away, almost leaving the place completely bare.

"Linjiang! It's near Baishan and Tonghua, close to the border."

"sure?"

"Confirmed. Headquarters is preparing to organize an air raid on Jiang. Do you want to come with us?"

"it is good!"

Zhang Yong was naturally more than happy to accept this offer.

I have to be there for such a good thing. Only by being there can I take advantage of the chaos.

Those traitors were quite shrewd. They even ran faster than the Japanese invaders. Yamada Otozo was caught, for goodness sake.

However, the Soviet army was initially targeting Yamada Otozo. Therefore, they deployed a large number of paratroopers. As soon as the battle began, they were immediately airdropped into Fengtian (Shenyang).

Xinjing (Changchun) was temporarily forgotten, because the Soviet airborne troops were unable to control two locations simultaneously.

And so, Emperor Kant successfully escaped.

At this point, the Soviet ground forces have not yet reached Linjiang. The terrain there is too rugged.

It's all in the Changbai Mountains. The mountains are high and the forests are dense. This is unfavorable for armored forces. No matter how powerful your Soviet tanks are, they can't get up there.

How many people were still around Emperor Kangde?

"I don't know."

How many Japanese soldiers were there?

"I don't know."

Vadim explained that the intelligence was accurate.

Emperor Kangde was indeed in Linjiang. However, the situation around him was unclear.

Preliminary assessment suggests that even if Japanese troops were present, their numbers should be small. However, the number of puppet troops should be considerable.

The main force should be the Iron Stone Army of the puppet state of Manchukuo.

Maybe 10,000 people?

set off.

Heading to the airport. Getting ready.

A Soviet airborne brigade is assembling.

There were approximately three thousand people. They were armed.

They had all been airdropped into Fengtian a little over ten days prior. After landing, they engaged in fierce fighting with the Japanese invaders.

At that time, the Japanese invaders had not yet completely collapsed. Therefore, the fighting was quite intense. This Soviet airborne brigade suffered heavy casualties.

There used to be over 7,000 people. Now there are only over 3,000. The information hasn't been fully updated yet.

Weapons and ammunition, on the other hand, are plentiful.

"Mr. Commissioner."

"Brigade Commander Rodkin!"

Zhang Yong shook hands with the other person. He was quite enthusiastic.

This Brigade Commander Rodkin visited China for a period of time.

Later, when the Great Patriotic War broke out, he joined the battlefield and became a member of the paratroopers.

The collar insignia now has a gold star.

The other party was Zhukov's representative, who came to find Zhang Yong during the Battle of Xuzhou.

He meticulously summarized Zhang Yong's battlefield performance and submitted a report, which became one of the important lessons learned by the Soviet army in combat.

Zhukov, in particular, almost completely copied Zhukov's approach, which aimed to maximize the role of artillery.

During major battles, Zhukov would assemble a large number of heavy artillery pieces.

At the outset, a devastating barrage of artillery fire was unleashed upon the enemy.

What if there aren't enough artillery pieces?
The obvious answer is to postpone the attack. Let's make thorough preparations first.

It was through this very simple and brutal method that Zhukov pushed forward all the way on the battlefield.

The Soviet High Command also drew heavily on this experience.

Large numbers of rocket launchers were deployed.

In important battles, the number of rocket launchers was in the tens of thousands.

Although the Germans were indeed very tenacious, they found it difficult to withstand the terrifying artillery fire and were eventually defeated.

It's fair to say that there were hardly any particularly sophisticated tactics on the Eastern Front.

The two sides went head-to-head. A pure, head-on clash.

The Germans couldn't overcome it. And so they failed.

"Commissioner, it's a pleasure to see you again. I often think of you."

"Thank you!"

Zhang Yong presented a gift to the other party.

A heavy bag of chocolates. At the time, it was considered a very precious gift.

"Thank you!"

Rodkin was indeed very pleased.

The Soviet army had no shortage of weapons and ammunition, but it lacked these high-quality foods.

Therefore, after the war, all kinds of imported food were very expensive. Only the privileged class could afford them.

To be honest, this was one of the reasons for the eventual disintegration.

Let’s get down to business.

In a direct confrontation, the Soviet army of over three thousand men was actually of average fighting strength.

However, considering the current situation, three thousand men should be enough. The number of Japanese troops stubbornly resisting is actually quite small.

The Japanese invaders' proclamation of the end of the war and Yamada Otozo's surrender order have been publicly broadcast.

Most Japanese soldiers had lost the will to fight. In the later stages of the Kwantung Army, fanatics were extremely rare; they were almost entirely composed of the elderly, the weak, and the disabled.

Even Yamada Otozo himself knew he couldn't win.

Only a very small number of traitors remained unwilling to give up. They too had no way out. They knew that surrendering meant certain death.

As is well known, traitors are not protected by the Geneva Conventions.

"report!"

A Soviet military staff officer drove up.

He verbally relayed some instructions from headquarters to Vadim.

Vadim then turned to look at Zhang Yong.

"Commissioner, can your airborne troops arrive within twelve hours?"

"My troops?"

"Yes. Headquarters wants your troops to participate as well."

"Let me see."

Zhang Yong did not agree immediately.

His airborne troops were certainly able to arrive.

You can fly directly from Changsha Airport to Fengtian.

The flight takes only about five hours. Including preparation time, it takes about eight hours.

How many people do you need to send?

“The more the merrier.”

"Then I'll arrange for an airborne regiment to come. About 1,500 people."

"it is good."

Vadim described the situation to his staff.

The Soviet staff officer drove away to report back to headquarters. Zhang Yong then made arrangements.

A large number of paratroopers are stationed around Changsha Airport.

All of this was prepared before the Japanese invaders announced their surrender. The goal was to occupy Nanjing and Shanghai.

They must seize all the valuables before the other Nationalist troops arrive.

What "five sons passing the imperial examination"? Zhang Yong was the biggest glutton. Those who came after him got nothing.

He's currently temporarily confined to the three northeastern provinces. Otherwise, he would already be in Shanghai, looting everywhere.

But it's okay. A few days later won't matter. No one else can keep up with his speed.

Apart from Zhang Yong, no one else dared to rashly enter the area heavily guarded by the Japanese invaders.

What if the Japanese invaders rebel? Who can say for sure?

"Minister Min."

"exist."

"Order other airborne troops to continue assembling at Changsha Airport. Be ready to board at any time."

"Yes."

Min Gang agreed.

This old ox is incredibly hardworking.

Changsha Airport was incredibly busy. There were planes everywhere.

Previously, it was a large number of fighter jets and bombers. Now it's transport planes. Various DC-3 transport planes are constantly busy.

There were also a large number of transport planes modified from P-108s, which were also queuing up to take off.

Continue to send troops to Nanjing.

Currently, more than four thousand paratroopers have arrived in Nanjing.

three hours……

Six hours...

"report!"

The first batch of paratroopers arrived at Fengtian Airport.

Subsequently, a steady stream of transport planes arrived. Fifteen hundred paratroopers were assembled.

"Commissioner!"

Vadim rushed over again.

This indicates that the Soviet airborne troops needed to perform other tasks.

Therefore, the situation in Linjiang was left to Zhang Yong's troops to handle completely.

"it is good."

Zhang Yong couldn't get it.

The Soviets now only wanted to cripple the Japanese invaders and quickly advance towards the 38th parallel.

Therefore, we will leave Linjiang aside for the time being.

This arrangement is the best.

"Mr. Commissioner, it's such a pity."

"I will obey your orders."

I said goodbye to Rodkin. Then I boarded the plane.

They lined up to take off.

They soon arrived over Linjiang.

Radar maps show that there are no anti-aircraft guns on the ground.

However, there are many half-red dots and a very small number of red dots.

They all have weapons. They all have light weapons.

Initiate airdrop.

Zhang Yong also lightly jumped out of the cabin.

It's not difficult at all.

The sky was filled with white parachutes.

The radar map shows that the lower half-red dot has begun to react.

Some of the semi-red dots were fired upwards. However, the number should not be large. They also did not have anti-aircraft weapons.

Most of the half-red dots are actually running around randomly, panicking and not knowing where to go.

They all knew very well that their end was nigh.

Now all we can do is flee for our lives.

They fled towards the border.

It landed successfully.

Untie the rope.

Radar showed several scattered blue dots nearby.

"Squeak!"

"Squeak!"

Take out the signal device. Make a cricket-like sound.

Troops began to assemble.

More than thirty people gradually gathered.

So they launched an attack on Linjiang County. The fighting was intermittent.

Only a very few of the half-red dots dared to fire in resistance. They were quickly killed.

They successfully entered the county town.

There are many remaining half-red dots inside.

It should be said that the remaining traitors were all compressed into this category.

It is determined that Emperor Kant is inside.

So they continued to assemble the troops.

Set up the mortar.

"boom……"

"boom……"

They bombed it repeatedly.

Finally, the traitors inside couldn't take it anymore.

Someone came out waving a white flag, indicating their intention to surrender. The other side was then ordered to lay down their weapons.

Is Emperor Kangde inside?

"Yes……"

Who else is inside?

"And, many, many people..."

Where is Zhang Jinghui?

"He, he's not here..."

"where is he?"

"He went to find other people on the way, and never came back..."

"Humph!"

Zhang Yong frowned secretly.

What a pity they didn't catch Zhang Jinghui.

This guy is the real power behind Manchukuo. He's the Prime Minister of Manchukuo.

Aside from the Japanese invaders, he held the most power. That so-called Emperor Kangde was, in reality, a puppet.

Forget it, forget it.

A puppet it is. Let's capture him first.

It's an honor.

He actually had the chance to capture an emperor alive.

It's not fake.

He was a genuine emperor.

It spanned two dynasties. Or perhaps three?
"come out!"

"come out!"

The soldiers shouted, with the dark muzzles of their guns lined up on both sides.

The traitors inside emerged one by one, all with their heads hanging low, dejected, and looking as if they had lost their parents.

These traitors were basically members of the Iron Stone Army. They were die-hard traitors.

Everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

Many anti-Japanese fighters died at their hands.

and so……

Unforgivable!

Finally, a group of people dressed in strange and unusual costumes appeared, like a theatrical troupe.

One of them was the so-called Emperor Kant.

Ha ha.

This guy.

He was given the opportunity, but he didn't use it.

Why did you have to turn something perfectly good into something like a clown?

Deserve it.

The path you choose, you must walk it to the end, even with tears in your eyes.

"Catch him!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Yong issued the order.

Then he went inside and looted.

With radar maps as a guide, all gold and valuables have nowhere to hide.

Unfortunately, there aren't many.

It's estimated that it's completely depleted.

Starting with Yoshiko Kawashima, the puppet state of Manchukuo continuously transferred wealth abroad, desperately supporting the Japanese invaders.

After so many years, the puppet state of Manchukuo is probably just an empty shell now.

disappointment……

Then anger...

They began to assemble troops and execute traitors.

"Da da da……"

"Da da da……"

The barrel of the MG42 was red-hot...
