Are you a spy? Killing the enemy is too cruel.

Chapter 639: On-site Defense

Forbidden City.

For two consecutive days, there was unrest in various regions, especially in the wealthy areas where some foreigners lived, where there was constant sound of gunfire. In these bloody battles, thousands of foreigners were slaughtered.

This wealthy area is already littered with corpses and blood.

The blood dyed the luxuriously decorated house red. There were dead bodies and blood everywhere. It was a horrible sight, like a haunted house.

By the time the Japanese reacted, most of the foreigners in the Forbidden City had been killed.

Even some who survived were so frightened that they quickly hid in Japanese buildings to seek shelter.

Unfortunately, instead of protecting them, the Japanese high-ranking officials were tempted by the money and killed these foreigners directly.

The reason is not difficult to guess. Some time ago, the Japanese looted all kinds of antiques and prepared to ship them back to Japan, but what happened? They were all snatched away at various stations, warehouses, etc.

This staggering fortune suddenly disappeared.

The Japanese had no time to vent their anger, and now the foreigners are coming to their doorstep. Aren't they seeking their own death?

Another point is that on the battlefield in China, the Japanese suffered continuous defeats, their morale dropped greatly, their military spirit was unstable, and they were already thinking of withdrawing from the Hebei region and retreating into the three northeastern provinces from Shanhaiguan. At this time, what was the big deal about killing a few foreign devils?

More importantly, more than two months ago, Japan had already fallen out with the Ugly Country. The two sides fought several fierce battles at sea, but what was the result? They were chased and beaten by the Ugly Country’s army, which was rich and powerful, and they had long been dissatisfied with these foreign devils.

Before the bodies of the foreign devils were dragged out of the building, a Japanese officer said with a complicated expression:

"This assassination was definitely carried out by the underground party. They were able to kill thousands of foreigners in such a short time. I estimate that Ye Feng, the commander of the underground party, is probably in the Forbidden City."

what?

For a moment, the faces of more than a dozen Japanese officers around changed drastically and they looked terrified.

At this time, if Ye Feng rushed into the building, who could stop him?

If Ye Feng is determined to carry out a "decapitation operation", let alone the more than 2,000 military police, even the more than 2,000 main forces of the Kwantung Army cannot stop Commander Ye Feng, who is nicknamed a super agent!

"It's true. Ye Feng must be in the Forbidden City, and he is here to steal the treasures and wealth we have looted. Now it seems that we must hurry up and gather troops to retreat."

"You damned Chinese, are we really going to leave Hebei in disgrace? Why don't we give an order to create a massacre and kill tens of thousands of Shenzhou people as revenge for Ye Feng stealing our treasure?"

"Gaba, are you a fool? They are hiding in the Forbidden City and can kill us at any time. I guess as soon as the order is issued, Ye Feng will come to the door with a gun in hand. At that time, will you stop them?"

"I guess Ye Feng must have seen through our intention to retreat, so he sneaked into the Forbidden City as a threat warning."

"We can't delay the retreat any longer. If the underground party's troops come, we won't be able to leave."

The sound stopped abruptly because they discovered a fatal problem.

Most of the Japanese troops in Hebei can be withdrawn to the three northeastern provinces, but what about the troops in other places?

For example, in Shandong, there are still 170,000 troops there. Can they be withdrawn?

"Forget it. This is something that the top leaders of the Empire of Japan should worry about. We just need to complete our own tasks."

"We have many ports to the east of Shandong. If we want to withdraw, we can use the sea route."

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get the troops in Tianjin, Zhangjiakou, Tangshan, and Chengde to gather immediately, shrink the front line, and be ready to leave Hebei and enter the three northeastern provinces at any time!"

"We are so unwilling to give up these places that we conquered with great difficulty to the underground party again!"

"Don't worry. Our army will be concentrated and we will be invincible if we defend the three northeastern provinces. When the time comes, it will be time for us to completely occupy China."

The other Japanese officers did not agree with the last statement and left in silence.

Counterattack?

Completely occupy China?

This is such a joke. In the eyes of many people, they were already very lucky to be able to defend the three northeastern provinces and block the underground party’s army in Shanhaiguan.

After all, what is the situation now?

On land, they were chased and beaten by the underground party's troops, suffered defeat after defeat, and their morale was completely destroyed.

Not only was the underground party able to suppress them in their fight, but even in the southwestern battlefield, the Shancheng army was also constantly using troops and had launched battles to recover Guangdong and Guangxi. The Japanese were almost dragged to death on this battlefield in China.

What about in the air?

This was what made countless Japanese officers angry, as they did not have many fighter planes to begin with.

But it happened that Zhengzhou Airport was attacked twice in succession, and thousands of fighter planes were destroyed.

The remaining air force is now struggling to cope with the Ugly Country's air force.

What about the sea?

The Ugly Country, which was allied with the Shenzhou underground party, had a powerful navy. In order to retaliate against the Pearl Harbor incident, they turned into a group of vengeful foreign devils. Every day they were like crazy, bombarding the Japanese islands continuously. The Ugly Country's artillery shells were completely free.

Even their big cities in Japan were bombed several times.

So, don’t dream about completely occupying China. For many high-ranking Japanese officers, they would be lucky if they could defend the three northeastern provinces and the Japanese mainland.

But the problem is...

Can they defend the lands in the three northeastern provinces?

The underground party's forces continued to grow, and after regaining most of the north, their total strength would definitely exceed 500,000.

Moreover, the commander of the army is Ye Feng, who gives them the most headaches. They, Japan, really have no way to deal with this nemesis.

For a moment, the entire Forbidden City was plunged into a depressing and suffocating atmosphere.

Ye Feng also noticed something unusual, so he sneaked into the Japanese headquarters to gather intelligence.

The intelligence information he finally obtained made him overjoyed.

Return to the meeting point.

"Comrade Huang Weiguo, please find our radio operator. I want to send an urgent telegram to each department."

While waiting for the radio operator to come, Ye Feng was reciting the plan in his mind over and over again.

"Send a telegram to the headquarters in Zhuo County now."

Ye Feng continued:

"Give Zhang Ye an order to have his comrades, Division Commander Song, Division Commander Niu, and other troops, no longer engage in direct battles with the Japanese from now on, and resolutely switch to the defensive phase. Even if there is an opportunity, they must not send troops out at will."

"At the same time, send small-scale troops, in squads, to infiltrate the enemy's defense zone. The mission is simple: do not kill the enemy, but aim to rob various supplies, especially various antique calligraphy and paintings from China."

Afterwards, Ye Feng sent another telegram to General Su in Jiangsu, telling General Su the same situation, that the main force of the Japanese in Hebei was rapidly shrinking its forces and preparing to withdraw to Shanhaiguan.

At this stage, we should focus on defense and try to preserve our manpower as much as possible.

Huang Weiguo, who was standing aside, said with a puzzled look on his face, "Commander Ye, since the Japanese are about to evacuate in a hurry, why don't we seize the opportunity to follow them and kill as many enemies as possible, instead of defending where we are?"

Not only Huang Weiguo, but other comrades in the enemy-occupied areas also had confused expressions and were puzzled.

Everyone said that they couldn't understand Ye Feng's actions at all.

Logically speaking, when the enemy retreats, shouldn't the army move forward and wait for an opportunity to annihilate the enemy in large numbers?

But Ye Feng's order was.

Defend where you are.

No pursuit allowed.
