Fengxian Jiangshan

The modern military flag system originated in Europe. Combat units above the regiment need to be adjusted according to their combat missions, and the regiment is the largest permanent military unit, so it will be awarded the military flag.The Japanese also followed the Western system in which regiments of the army, known as regiments, were awarded regimental flags.

This is a unique treatment for the Japanese Army, but not for the Navy, to show the special nature of the Army.According to the Japanese tradition, if the military flag is there, it will be organized; if the military flag is lost, the troops will be withdrawn.Of course, an accidental damaged military flag can be applied for replacement, but as long as the main flag crown (with the sixteen-petal chrysanthemum logo on it), the flag surface, and tassels are still there, even if it is a little damaged, there is no need to replace it.

And often the more damaged it is, the more bloody battles this alliance has experienced, with outstanding military exploits, and it is the backbone of the army.The No.13 regiment is a veteran Japanese team. It participated in the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War. The damage to the flag surface has been very serious. If you don't pay attention, it is completely a rag, nothing unusual.

However, Wang Yizhe had studied in Baoding Military Academy. Most of the instructors had studied in Japan and were familiar with the traditions of the Japanese army. Therefore, he introduced the importance of the military flag to them, and Wang Yizhe always kept it in mind.

At this moment, when he saw what Ma Gang was holding, his eyes lit up immediately, and he ran over in two or three steps, grabbed the rag in his hand, immediately found a flat and clean place, and gradually unfolded the flag, A broken military flag with a purple tassel around the outside.

The half-broken black lacquered flagpole has a golden three-sided cone on it, and the imperial coat of arms of the sixteen-petalled chrysanthemum can be vaguely seen. Seeing this, Wang Yizhe couldn't help laughing loudly: "It's the alliance flag, it's true." Alliance flag, the No.13 alliance is completely over!"

Looking at Wang Yizhe who looks crazy, Ma Gang still doesn't know what's going on.Puzzled, he asked: "Battalion Commander Wang, aren't you crazy? Isn't the No.13 Regiment already wiped out? What does it have to do with this flag?"

"It's not the same, it's very different." Wang Yizhe said with a smile: "If this military flag returns to the hands of the Japanese, or it is destroyed and disappeared, the No.13 Regiment may still be rebuilt, but with this military flag, This designation has completely disappeared from the Japanese army. Did you see it? There is also the imperial coat of arms of the emperor on it. It represents the emperor's personal conquest, and the military flag fell into our hands. The blow to Japan's morale is unimaginable!"

Wang Yizhe was talking to himself, but Ma Gang and the people around him were confused: "Battle Commander, I just can't figure it out. Why did the Emperor use chrysanthemums as signs, and they still have sixteen petals. Does he like this thing?"

"Don't say something useless. Hurry up and save this alliance flag, give it to the army commander immediately, and then forward it to the commander. You will be rewarded for your meritorious service!"

As soon as Ma Gang heard that the generals valued this thing, he also felt the importance, and tore off a tattered military uniform from the corpse of a Japanese soldier.Wrapped up the alliance flag, tied it to his belt, and ran to the command post.

If Xiaochi Anzhi were to know how Ma Gang treated the sacred United flag, he would have been mad at the time.But at this time he was not far from madness.Feng Jun used air force and artillery to pour firepower heavily on the remaining troops of the [-]th Division.

And because the Japanese warships were killed, a group of shallow water gunboats from the Feng army also calmly came to the sea off Gaizhou, using naval guns to bombard the rear of the Japanese army.In particular, the railway line was their big target. There were bomb craters all over the top of the South Manchuria Railway, and the supplies in the rear could not be transported up, and the wounded in the front could not be transported either.

Following this trend, the Feng army may encircle the Sixth Division at any time.While Koike Anzhi was fidgeting, a terrible news reached his ears. The No.13 alliance is all broken, and the vital alliance flag has disappeared.

Now Koike Anzhi is going crazy, just because he was defeated, maybe he can still go to the reserve service for the rest of his life, but if the alliance flag is lost, he may not be able to wash away his sins by caesarean suicide, and he will be nailed to the pillar of shame for the rest of his life Above, you can never turn over.

"Concentrate all forces and launch an attack on the Chinese army. Be sure to find the alliance flag."

……

"Commander, do you think this little devil took the wrong medicine? He didn't put so much effort into rescuing the No. 13 Regiment. Now that the entire army is wiped out, they are desperate instead. Isn't this a follower?" Zhang Henian asked very puzzled while listening to the roaring cannon.

Sun Anhu is older than him and has more experience. After thinking about it for a while, he understood: "I think the reason why the Japanese are crazy is because of that terrible thing. Without the alliance flag, I am afraid that the Japanese government will It will be bad luck. But this also gives us a chance, if we can grasp it, we can swallow up the Sixth Division, and the impact of annihilating a division will be greater than killing a regiment!"

Zhang Henian also gave a thumbs up when he heard it: "The commander is smart, I will arrange it right away."

Ding Chao, the commander of the Sixth Division, also smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, your contribution is great enough, leave us a mouthful of soup too!"

Just when Fengjun adjusted its deployment, special personnel had already taken the plane to send the No.13 regiment's regiment flag to Fengtian.Prior to this, the Supreme Command had already received the battle report. Everyone, including Jiang Baili and Yang Yuting, was confident of victory, but no one dared to think that they would be able to capture the alliance flag.

You must know that the Japanese army has special flag guards, and once the battle is unfavorable, they have to follow strict operating procedures, burn the military flag, and then bury the metal parts deep in the ground, so that they must not fall into the enemy's hands.

But God's will tricks people, a heavy artillery shot out all the headquarters, and the flag guards killed the aerial bomb before they had time to burn the flag, and the flag fell into the hands of Feng Jun.In fact, there was a similar situation during the Battle of Nomenkan, but the Soviets did not search carefully at that time. As a result, the Japanese sent a small team to find the remaining parts of the military flag.

But this time they were not so lucky. A genuine military flag fell into the hands of Feng Jun, and it was also the flag of the Ace Regiment of the Ace Division, which made everyone very excited.Zhu Qinglan even laughed loudly: "I heard how great the Japanese military flag is many years ago, but now it is also captured by us, it should be clear!"

"Minister Zhu, is it enough just to drink some wine? I think the people of the country should know that the halo of the Japanese army has been shattered by us. From now on, the Chinese should put aside their inferiority complex and cowardice, and hold their heads high. Standing on the world stage, we are no longer the sick men of East Asia who are bullied!" Shao Piaoping, who was in charge of publicity, said loudly.

Yang Yuting kept nodding: "This method is good. The United flag is indeed a good opportunity. We started war with the Japanese not only for the three eastern provinces, but for the whole of China. If we want to really win, we must It is inseparable from the support of the people across the country, especially there are still many pro-Japanese and Japan-phobic factions in China, and we must give them a blow!"

When Zhang Tinglan heard this, she nodded frequently. After all, Fengjun was just a local prince, and the grass-headed kings, big and small, all over the country, had various ideas. Many of them were still secretly communicating with Japan about songs, and even providing Japan with various war supplies.Feng Jun's hand couldn't be stretched that long.

But if the propaganda is done well, it can gather the morale of the whole people, and it will also be a blow to those local emperors, so that they dare not act recklessly.

"Minister Shao, I will leave the propaganda to you. You must use this opportunity to win the hearts of the people and boost morale."

"Don't worry, Marshal, I promise to complete the task."

……

Shanghai in March and April is the most prosperous time of the year. The war clouds in the three eastern provinces have not yet affected here. None of their business.

Lin Rong is a foreign businessman who has recently emerged in Shanghai. His hometown is in Sichuan. The Internet has monopolized the business route for the export of Southwest native products, and the profits are simply incalculable.

He and his good friend Zhang Jiaao from the Bank of China attended a ball and played until dawn. He had just come out when a housekeeper ran over in a panic and said out of breath: "Master, something is wrong, the gang at the port Liba is making trouble again and refuses to load the goods."

Lin Rong snorted: "Don't you just want to ask for more money? This batch of goods is urgent, so it's okay to give them more, but let's not take this as an example. Don't think that Lin is easy to bully."

"Master, the situation is not that simple. Those Liba said that these goods are shipped to Japan, and they don't want to pay any money!"

"It's against them!" Lin Rong was furious immediately: "Brother Zhang, you saw it too, and there is some trouble again, I'm going to solve it right away, these muddy legs just lack rules, so we must teach them a lesson."

While they were talking, another rickshaw came over from there, and a thin Westerner stepped down from it. Both Lin Rong and Zhang Jiaao knew him. This guy was called Alan, and he was the manager of HSBC Bank, and they often dealt with each other.

Lin Rong also relies on HSBC for his business, so he had to take the initiative to say hello, but this time Alan took the lead and said with a smile: "Congratulations, you are beautiful!"

"Mr. Allen, where did you say that? We haven't engaged in any trade war with others. How can we win?"

"No, aren't you Chinese?" Allen said with a smile: "Your army defeated the Japanese and captured their military flag. This is a very remarkable thing. Don't the Japanese always claim that they are the masters of Asia? , and now they are defeated by the Squadron, what qualifications do they have to engage in an arms race with the British Empire, what a bunch of short-sighted pigs!"

Allen mocked the Japanese unceremoniously, but Lin Rong's heart seemed to be stabbed by something, and an inexplicable taste gushed out from his bones.Just now in Alan's eyes, he read something that he had not seen for a long time, that is respect!

The next moment Lin Rong ran away towards the port suddenly, he couldn't hear Zhang Jiaao's shout behind him. (To be continued..)
