The Snow on Mount Fuji

In the late 1930s, Shimogakaki Shima Taro, former director of the Kwantung Army Intelligence Department, arrogantly drafted the plan "Snow on Mount Fuji" to attack the Soviet Union, winning the support of the Kwantung Army's high command. Unexpectedly, international spy August von Hoffmann stole it. The leak drew numerous intelligence organizations into the fray. After Zhan Zhizhan, squad leader of the Fourth Detachment of the "Sharp Sword Unit," was executed by firing squad, the Bodhisattva Guanyin, in her great compassion, allowed him to borrow the body of Xie Yaoxian, the "Sixth Brother of the Military Statistics Bureau," so that he could be reborn and return to life. After Zhan Zhizhan transmigrated into Xie Yaoxian, who carried top-secret missions for the intelligence agencies of both the Nationalists and the Communists, he traded barbs with the Military Statistics Bureau's Binjiang Group leader, the "White Fox," and sparred with "Forsythia," the Harbin Municipal Party Committee secretary. He outwitted the head of the secret service division, the "Smiling Tiger," and deftly played cat and mouse with Yokota Masao, chief of the Special Higher Police. He struck such fear into the Japanese and their puppet forces that they trembled, while blood flowed through the streets of Harbin. When Xie Yaoxian returned to Chongqing with "Snow on Mount Fuji," stained with the blood of martyrs from the covert fronts of both the Nationalists and the Communists, the four-month Battle of Khalkhin Gol broke out, and Marshal Zhukov made his name in a single campaign. Lieutenant General Shimogakaki Shima Taro, commander of the Kwantung Army's 13th Division and the arrogant instigator of the Battle of Khalkhin Gol, was so overcome with shame and fury that he committed seppuku.
