Chapter 12 Hand in the League Flag! The Boss Knows of Su Zheng's Existence for the First Time! (Second Update, Please Save)

A military order is a letter of guarantee written after accepting a military order, indicating that if the mission cannot be completed, the person is willing to be punished according to military law.

It can be said that military orders are a traditional culture whose origin is closely related to military marching and combat. Its purpose is to strengthen the commander's sense of responsibility and ensure victory in the battle.

You have to know that issuing a military order is extremely risky, because there is no joking in the military. Once a military order is issued, it is written in black and white and must be fulfilled.

Boss: "Li Yunlong, are you sure you can turn the New 1st Regiment into a reinforced regiment of more than 5,000 people within three months?"

Li Yunlong: "Yes, Boss, I have issued a military order, don't you still believe me?"

In fact, Li Yunlong also felt uneasy.

But if he was asked to be the director of a clothing factory, he would definitely not do it.

At worst, if I fail to complete the military order to strengthen the regiment within three months, I will be punished again.

Anyway, this is Li Yunlong's personality.

The boss was thinking about Li Yunlong's suggestion.

The New 386st Regiment is affiliated with the th Brigade, but it is not a formally organized unit.

The only officially registered units of the 386th Brigade were the 771st and 772nd Regiments.

The New 1st Regiment was a unit formed by the Eighth Route Army itself.

This means that all the damage in the battle must be borne by oneself.

However, the Japanese's large-scale sweep caused heavy losses to the Eighth Route Army, and many troops suffered varying degrees of casualties. Therefore, the Eighth Route Army was not without ways to replenish the troops and equipment for Li Yunlong's New Regiment.

Therefore, Li Yunlong issued a military order to develop the incomplete New 0st Regiment into a reinforced regiment of more than 0 people. This condition was still very tempting.

But Li Yunlong couldn't be let off so easily. The general paused and said, "Li Yunlong, the reason why the New 1st Regiment suffered heavy losses this time is because you disobeyed orders on the battlefield and chose to break through head-on, so this result occurred."

"You are recruiting new soldiers for the regiment. What is there to be proud of?"

Li Yunlong: "..."

This boss is really unreasonable.

Can I continue playing?

However, Li Yunlong and Su Zheng had already discussed a countermeasure.

Li Yunlong quickly continued, "Boss, what if we add the flag of the Sakata regiment?"

Sakata wing flag?

Upon hearing this, the boss' eyes lit up.

The Japanese Army's flag was promulgated in 1870, the third year of the Meiji era, in the form of a supreme decree, the Daijokan proclamation, and was called the "Army Imperial Flag."

The regiment's flag evolved from the Japanese national flag, the Rising Sun Flag. The entire regiment's flag has 16 blood-red rays of light and is also called the "Rising Sun Flag."

The three sides of the army flag are decorated with purple tassels, and the top of the wooden painted flagpole also has a three-sided gold-plated flag crown.

All three sides are embossed with the imperial family's emblem of a 16-petal chrysanthemum.

According to Hattori Takushiro's "The Complete History of the Greater East Asia War", "On January 1874, 1, the Emperor personally presented military flags to the 23st and 1nd Guards Infantry Regiments. Since then, all newly formed infantry and cavalry regiments must be personally presented with military flags by the Emperor, which serves as the core of the unity of the troops. The spirit of the officers and soldiers towards the military flags is unparalleled in the world."

Therefore, for the Japanese, the regiment flag is a sacred existence and its status is irreplaceable!

It is also because of this that it is almost impossible to capture a regiment flag on the battlefield.

During World War II, many Allied forces hoped to capture a regimental flag from the Japanese, but ultimately they were unable to fulfill this wish.

According to the relevant provisions of the Japanese combat regulations, if there is a possibility that the entire army will be wiped out, the military flag must be burned and not left to the enemy.

So under normal circumstances, even if the Japanese regiment was besieged or defeated, there was still time to burn the military flag.

After all, it's just a fire.

After fighting the Japanese for so long, the Eighth Route Army has never captured a single regimental flag.

But this battle at Cangyun Ridge was different. Wang Chengzhu's two artillery shells killed all the command officers and related flag guards of the Sakata Regiment, so that they had no time to burn the military flag.

This fell into Su Zheng's hands.

The flag of the Sakata Regiment was in tatters.

To Li Yunlong and Su Zheng, it was just a piece of rag.

But for the Japanese, it is honor.

Due to the special significance of the regiment's flag, it is usually placed in a black cloth bag. The silk flag is easily damaged, and often only the outer tassels are left.

Even so, the Japanese would not throw away the military flags, especially when the team suffered setbacks. Instead, they would decisively take out the military flags to guide the infantry to pave the way for the attack.

Because in the minds of the Japanese, the more tattered the military flag is, the more it demonstrates the regiment's long history and its explosive combat effectiveness.

It can also motivate the soldiers to the greatest extent, so even if it is blown to pieces, it will never be repaired, and as long as it can still be hung, it will never be abandoned.

This is also the reason why the Sakata Regiment’s flag was not replaced even though it was in tatters.

The boss' tone also became a little excited, and he said, "Li Yunlong, did you really seize the flag of the Sakata Regiment?"

Li Yunlong: “That’s right!”

"Boss, to be honest, this regiment flag was captured by a platoon leader named Su Zheng from our regiment!"

"And the one who killed Sakata Brigade Commander Sakata Nobutsu was also this Su Zheng."

Su Zheng?

This was the first time the boss heard this name.

Chapter 13: Break the whole into parts and develop on your own! (Third update, please bookmark)

The Eighth Route Army has more than 100,000 troops, so it is normal that the boss does not know the existence of Su Zheng, a small soldier.

Li Yunlong was also honest and recounted Su Zheng's contributions.

This was the first time the boss knew about Su Zheng’s existence.

"Su Zheng, good, Li Yunlong, I didn't expect your new regiment to have so many talents." The boss' mind was on the regiment flag, and said, "Li Yunlong, immediately arrange for someone to send the regiment flag of the Sakata regiment to the headquarters!"

After fighting the Japanese for so long, the boss had never had close contact with the regiment flag.

Li Yunlong saw the boss's excitement about the regiment flag, looked at Su Zheng beside him with a meaningful look, and then said: "Boss, can you please stop teasing me? In three months, I will give you a reinforced regiment of more than 5,000 people."

The boss deliberately kept silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, but Li Yunlong, don't get too complacent."

"If you can't produce a reinforcement regiment within three months, you will be punished for multiple crimes, and it won't just be a simple job as the director of the clothing factory!"

Li Yunlong grinned and said, "Yes, Boss."

"But Boss, in these three months, all our New 1st Regiment's actions and captured materials do not need to be reported to the headquarters or handed over. This is not too much, right?"

Boss: “Okay.”

Afterwards, Li Yunlong had a brief chat with the boss.

Before hanging up the phone, the boss also reminded Li Yunlong to make sure to deliver the Sakata Regiment flag to the headquarters.

The boss is thinking about it!

Of course Li Yunlong would send the regiment flag to the headquarters.

After all, this is of no use to Li Yunlong, it's just a piece of rag.

But if the regiment flag is handed over, that is a military achievement!

Moreover, the headquarters can use the regiment flag to carry out propaganda and launch psychological warfare offensives against the Japanese.

This will be able to play a greater role.

………………

Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

After hanging up the phone, the boss who was originally angrily asking for accountability suddenly smiled.

This made the Chief of General Staff next to him stunned.

He just listened to the general idea.

"Boss, what's going on? Aren't you calling to hold Li Yunlong accountable? Why are you so happy?"

Boss: "Haha, this kid Li Yunlong is pretty good at fighting."

"This time, we not only defeated the Sakata Regiment, but also captured its flag!"

Team flag?

This is extremely difficult to capture!

Chief of General Staff Zuo's eyes lit up, his face lit up with joy, and he laughed, "Hahaha, this Li Yunlong really didn't disappoint me!"

"Then the boss...will he continue to be held accountable?"

The boss said: "They are exempted from accountability for the time being, because Li Yunlong has issued a military order to turn the New 1st Regiment into a reinforced regiment with a full strength of more than 5,000 people in three months!"

Hearing this, Chief of Staff Zuo was stunned. He looked at the boss with a surprised face and said, "Boss, is Li Yunlong crazy?"

"After the battle at Cangyun Ridge, this new regiment has only 300 people left out of the entire 1,000-plus. If these 300 people can be restored to full strength within three months, that would be amazing!"

"It is almost impossible to build a reinforcement group of more than 5,000 people in these three months."

The boss put his hands behind his back and said, "I can't care too much about this. The military order has been issued. If I don't see a fully staffed reinforced regiment in three months, I will punish him for all his crimes and make sure Li Yunlong doesn't suffer the consequences!"

Three months later, even if Li Yunlong really failed to lead out a reinforced regiment, the commander would not shoot Li Yunlong.

After all, he couldn't bear to do it.

At most, I could feed horses or be a cook.

………………

The new regiment headquarters.

After hanging up the phone, Li Yunlong looked at Su Zheng with a smile and said, "Su Zheng, you are amazing. You predicted the boss's accountability!"

"I have avoided being robbed now, but where can I get 5,000 troops in these three months?"

This is no small matter.

Expanding the staff by 5,000 people in three months is a daunting task.

Li Yunlong was worried.

Su Zheng was very calm. He looked at Li Yunlong calmly and said, "Captain, in fact, if we want to expand it into a reinforced regiment of more than 5,000 people in three months, there are ways."

Li Yunlong quickly asked: "Su Zheng, what can you do?"

Su Zheng: "In order to rapidly develop our army, I suggest that we break it up into smaller units and develop on our own!"

PS: There will be at least four chapters updated, and I will continue to update today. 500 flowers, 50 evaluation votes, and 3 monthly votes will add one more chapter.

Chapter 14: Bright Sword Spirit! (Fourth update, please subscribe)

Break the whole into parts and develop independently.

Su Zheng's idea also came from the plot of "Drawing Sword".

Because according to the plot of "Bright Sword", Li Yunlong's independent regiment suffered heavy losses in a large-scale sweep and was resting in Zhaojiayu, and his subordinate troops were broken up into small units and developed separately.

As a result, the Eighth Route Army had fertile ground for expansion behind enemy lines. In addition, Li Yunlong was an expert in managing troops and weapons, so after the troops were dispersed to various places, they experienced tremendous development. Eventually, the independent regiment, which originally had a full establishment of only more than a thousand people, grew to eight battalions with 7000 people.

This is the benefit of breaking down the whole into smaller pieces and developing independently.

Therefore, if we want to develop a reinforced group within three months, the best way is to break it up into smaller units and develop independently.
