I rise from the sword

Chapter 324 The devils' aviation army fell into the trap, and the angry Yamazaki Zhihei

"Protect the flag!"

"Protect the military flag!!!"

Seeing the collapse of the flagpole, several Eighth Route Army soldiers from the Independent Regiment immediately rushed up desperately.

"Puff puff-"

A hail of bullets came, and the bodies of these soldiers were pierced immediately, and they fell limp and bloody.

However, the other fighters did ignore the little devil's machine gun fire and continued to rush up regardless of their own safety.

This is faith!
In the eyes of ordinary people, the military flag is just an ordinary flag, just a label, just to distinguish it from other troops, just like every house has a house number.

But for the army and the soldiers, the flag is life; if there is life, the army is there, and the flag is there; if the army is not, the flag must be there!
If an army loses its flag in battle, the consequences will be serious.

Just like lowering the military flag, the military flag may not have any lethality, but its effect is unparalleled, not even the commander or commander.

During the Soviet-German War in 1941, the 24th Mechanic Division of the Soviet Union was surrounded by German troops in Minsk (now the capital of Belarus). After a fierce battle, part of the Soviet troops succeeded in breaking through, but the bad thing was that the military flag disappeared when they broke through.

Although this unit still maintains a certain combat effectiveness and there are still a lot of people, but because of the loss of the military flag, the 24th Mechanic Division was revoked, and the commander of the division was also sent to a military court.

In 1944, the Soviet army recaptured Minks. A local villager found the Soviet army and claimed that he had buried a soldier with a military flag on his body.

Under his guidance, the Soviet army dug up the grave of the soldier. It was confirmed that the military flag was the one lost when the Soviet 1941th Mechanic Division broke out in 24, and the soldier's identity was also confirmed to be the political commissar of the division.

The military flag was found, but it was not captured by the German army, and the political commissar of the 24th Mechanic Division did not drop the military flag until his death, which is enough to prove that the division attaches great importance to the military flag.After the military flag was repaired, the 24th Mechanic Division was rebuilt, and participated in the battle of liberating Prague in 1945, making great achievements.

After the war, this unit was incorporated into the 4th Ukrainian Front.

The 24th Mechanic has been awarded the Order of the Red Banner three times in history, which can be described as illustrious military exploits, but what is strange is that it has never been able to join the Soviet Guards and cannot become a direct ace unit, only because it was lost once in 1941 flag.

"Lost the military flag" has also become a shame label that the 24th Division can never erase. They are destined not to be honored as the ace unit.

There is also such a scene in the Soviet movie "They Are Fighting for the Motherland", in which a Soviet regiment was wiped out because the flag was brought out. Later, the regiment was quickly replenished with soldiers and became a heroic regiment.

Although this is just a movie, it also reflects the importance of the military flag to the army.When the flag is there, the army is there, and when the flag is gone, the army will collapse.Because the soul is gone, all that is left is a bunch of walking dead.

Some people will definitely think this kind of behavior is stupid, sacrificing the lives of so many soldiers for a flag, but this is faith, this is the soul of the army!

An army must always have a belief that it can fight for. If a soldier doesn't even respect the military flag, how can he respect the national flag?How patriotic?

Therefore, for soldiers, they can die in battle or fall, but the military flag must never fall.

It is precisely because of this that the fighters of the independent regiment will rush forward desperately at this moment.

Fortunately, in time, the military flag was only ignited for a small part, and was quickly extinguished by the soldiers who rushed up.

"Damn it, these bastards!"

Seeing that the flagpole of the military flag was blown off, Li Yunlong couldn't help being very annoyed, and almost rushed out of the bunker, but fortunately, the soldiers rescued him in time.

……

In the sky.

The Devils Air Corps circled several times over Lijiapo, but the ground was covered in white smoke, making it impossible to distinguish between the enemy and us.

They were worried that they would bomb the Yamazaki Brigade, so they did not dare to bombard rashly.

After strafing and bombing the independent regiment's rear position, they turned around and left Lijiapo.

Of course, leaving is leaving.

They wouldn't make a trip in vain and return to the voyage, but turned around and looked for other nearby targets.

"idiot!"

Through the cracks in the smoke, Yamazaki Zhihei saw his own airmen leaving, and his face suddenly showed annoyance.

Because there was no aviation to provide tactical guidance, he was no longer sure that he could guard Lijiapo.

In particular, there is no access to ammunition supplies airdropped by the aviation arm.

However, there is no most desperate thing, only more desperate things.

Just when Osamu Yamazaki was ashamed, thinking about how to resist the next wave of attacks from the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

The three transport planes that circled over Lijiapo for a while suddenly flew over the hill on the west side.

This gave Yamazaki Zhihei a very ominous premonition...

"Yoxi! I seem to see the flag of the empire and the flag of the imperial army, right on the top of the mountain in front!"

Shigeno Ikeda is the pilot of the lead transport plane. He circled the lead plane a few times over Lijiapo. Just as he couldn't find the target and was about to give up the return flight, he seemed to see the flying over the mountain through the smog air attack. Flags and ensigns.

"Your Excellency, what you said seems to be correct. We also saw the flag of the Empire and the flag of the Imperial Army!"

After Ikeda Shigekuma's reminder, the Devil Air Force manipulating the other two wingmen also saw the national flag and military flag looming in the fog.

Then they manipulated the transport plane to lower the cruising altitude and flew towards the hills on the west side.

"Baga! These people from the Yamazaki Battalion are really a bunch of idiots. They clearly need us to provide fire support and deliver supplies, but now they have released so many smoke bombs, blocking our sight!

I really don't know what they think! "

Shigekuma Ikeda obviously wanted to think more. He heard what his subordinates said through the airborne radio, and he explained: "No, no, Mr. Ono, I think you may have misunderstood!"

"Lieutenant Yamazaki is a tactically minded commander. It must be that their ammunition is almost exhausted. They are worried that they will be destroyed by the Chinese army. As a last resort, they can only release smoke bombs."

"What they want to cover is not our sight, but the sight of the Chinese people. Just imagine, if there are Chinese people sabotaging, can we still drop supplies by air?"

"The terrain here is so rugged and complicated that if we lower our flight altitude too low, we may be attacked by the Chinese anti-aircraft fire hidden on the top of the mountain.

And if the flight is too high, it may not be possible to put the ammunition supply in the hands of the Yamazaki Brigade.

You must know that the Xenia Brigade has been trapped on the top of Lijiapo Mountain. Their position is extremely narrow. If there is a slight deviation, our supplies will not be air-dropped to the Yamazaki Brigade, but to the Eighth Route Army of China. "

"Sounds! Your Excellency's analysis makes sense!"

After hearing Ikeda Shigekuma's explanation, the ghost pilot named Ono immediately flattered the other party resoundingly.

Then control the transport plane and fly towards the hills on the west side.

"Be careful of the sneak attack by the Chinese army on the ground!" Ikeda Shigekuma reminded.

"Received!" The two devil aviation soldiers operating the wingman responded, but there was a mocking expression on their faces.

……

The screen is pulled back to the hills on the west side.

1 minutes ago.

When Zhang Dabiao saw that the devil's transport plane had no plans to airdrop supplies, he suddenly became a little anxious, and shouted at the two soldiers holding the flagpole: "Damn it, you two, raise the devil's flag higher!"

One of the soldiers said weakly: "Battle Commander, it's not that we don't lift it, this is already the highest, okay?"

Another soldier said again: "The devil's aviation soldier can't see us, so he is going to fly away?"

"It's all your fault, Battalion Commander, for not letting us raise the flag earlier, otherwise the little devil would have airdropped supplies to us long ago."

Zhang Dabiao's brothers are still very good, so the brothers dare to make some jokes with him under the principle of not making mistakes.

Zhang Dabiao slapped him on the forehead: "Hey! Good guy, is it my fault?"

"What do you know, this is playing hard to get!"

"If we raise the flag from the very beginning, it is likely to be self-defeating and alert the little devils, which is counterproductive!"

As soon as Zhang Dabiao's words fell, suddenly, another soldier who was waving the flag next to him shouted excitedly: "Battle Commander, look, look, the little devil seems to have spotted us and flew towards us!"

Zhang Dabiao looked up when he heard the sound, and sure enough, the three Devil transport planes were lowering their cruising altitude and speed, flying towards them.

"Step aside!"

Zhang Dabiao showed excitement, kicked one of them away, picked up the flagpole himself and shook it vigorously.

"Come on, little devil, come on!!!"

In the past, when the Eighth Route Army saw the devil's plane, they would walk away more, for fear of being discovered by the other party.

Now it is looking forward to it with anticipation.

I have to say, this feeling is really amazing.

In the sky.

"Look, look quickly, it really is the national flag of our Great Japanese Empire, as well as the military flag, it seems that the Yamazaki Brigade can't be wrong!"

The reason why Ikeda Zhongxiong was so sure was that he never thought, nor would he think, that the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army would use their national flag and military flag to disguise themselves as the Yamazaki Brigade.

Soon, Shigekuma Ikeda, who was flying ahead, opened the tailgate of the cabin first, and dropped several boxes of supplies.

Immediately afterwards, the other two wingmen also opened the tailgate of the cabin one after another and dropped the supplies.

Lijiapo main position.

"Baga! Idiots, what a bunch of idiots!"

"What are these stupid airmen doing? How can they drop ammunition supplies to the Eighth Route Army of China?"

I have to say that Devil Aviation is still very good.

Seeing the 10 or so boxes of ammunition supplies falling steadily on the hill on the west side, Yamazaki Zhihei's face turned green with anger, and the anger in his heart could not be described in words.

He had planned for the worst, thinking that he would not be able to get supplies from the air force, but he never thought that there would be worse results.

It's fine that these guys didn't give him supplies, but they actually gave them to others.

Are they blind or what?

If it wasn't for the certainty of the loyalty of one's own air force, he even doubted whether the other party had treasoned.

At this time, Maeda Koichiro, the captain's staff officer next to him, put down the binoculars in his hand with a ashen face, and said, "Your Excellency, Captain, it seems that the Eighth Route Army of China on the opposite hill used the national flag and military flag of our Great Japanese Empire to deceive us. aviation!"

Maeda Koichiro didn't say it was fine, but Yamazaki Jihei's expression became extremely ugly when he said it.

He is not a person who likes to shirk responsibility, so he immediately thought of the reason.

"Ba Ga! This damned Li Yunlong, I have fallen into his trick again!"

"They deliberately released smoke bombs this time, not to launch a strong attack, but they have already calculated that our ammunition is almost exhausted, so they deliberately released smoke bombs to cover the sight of the Imperial Air Force, so as to fish in troubled waters and defraud us of supplies!"

"Li Yunlong is really ruthless playing this game!"

Yamazaki Haruhira's face was full of resentment, and there was a bit of unwillingness.

It has to be said that this old devil is still very smart, and he quickly saw through the plot of the independent group.

However, he made a mistake in his calculation, that is, he did not expect that Yang Lin had planned this trick for Li Yunlong.

Maeda Koichiro bowed his body and asked for instructions: "Your Excellency, Captain, what shall we do now?"

Yamazaki Zhihei gritted his teeth and said: "For the current plan, there is no other way, pass on the order, and be prepared to live and die with the position!"

"As long as we persist until dark, maybe we still have hope to break through or wait until reinforcements arrive!"

After a pause, Yamazaki Zhihei said again: "In addition, report the matter here truthfully to the First Army Command of the Brigade and Regiment Headquarters, and ask the reinforcements to speed up.

Also better get some supplies! "

Yamazaki Zhihei's face was full of unwillingness, and he still held the last sliver of luck in his heart.

"Hi Yi!"

Maeda Koichiro nodded heavily, wrote down the orders of Captain Yamazaki Jihei one by one, turned and left.

Hills on the west side.

Looking at the boxes of ammunition supplies on the ground, Zhang Dabiao's eyes lit up, and his mouth was about to flow out.

I wish I could go up and open it right away to see what kind of baby bumps are inside.

At this time, a company commander ran over to ask for instructions: "Battle commander, the little devil's plane has not gone far, how about it, do you want to fuck the mother again?"

Zhang Dabiao laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha! Do it, you must fuck his mother as a thank you!"

Another company commander said with some concern: "However, if this will scare the enemy, expose the target, and cause the little devils to counterattack, then the gain will outweigh the loss.

Didn't the group leader always teach us to make a fortune in silence?
If the ammunition supply in hand is blown up by the little devil, then the loss outweighs the gain. "

Zhang Dabiao said with confidence: "Damn, do you think I can't think of this? I heard from Commander Yang Lin Yang that the devil's transport plane only has the ability to transport, not the ability to fight."

"They are a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Hurry up and fire on me and set up the machine guns! Thank you and thank these little devils!"

"Don't save me bullets, just hit hard!"

Zhang Dabiao looked extremely arrogant just after receiving more than 10 large boxes of supplies from the little devil...
