Chapter 147: The Inheritance of the Wind Forest Volcano!

As fast as the wind, as fast as a forest, as plundering as fire, and as immobile as a mountain!

The 1st Infantry Squadron of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 1st Brigade of the Taiwan Garrison Division is also known as the "411 Unit" in the Imperial Army.

The unit was originally composed of prisoners of the invading Japanese army, and the composition of the soldiers was extremely complex, but since the unit followed Wei Gonggong to participate in the Battle of Straw Hat Dingzi Mountain and completely annihilated the troops belonging to the reactionary Xungui group in Jianzhou, it was reborn as the elite unit of the Ming Emperor's pro-army, and it was also the backbone of the Ming Emperor's pro-army in the early days.

In the 38th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the unit was honorably reorganized into the letter mark of the Banner Army of the Right Guard Rear Battalion of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the first leader Koji Yamamoto is now the captain of the Fourth Infantry Wing of the Guards Division. His standard then participated in a series of anti-bandit and counterinsurgency battles in the south of the Houying Banner Army, and was the first to break into the house of Kong Ergongzi in Teng County, Shandong, and was collectively awarded a third-class meritorious service. Later, he was sentenced in Wuxi, burned Donglin Academy, and was recorded as a collective third-class meritorious service.

In the 40th year of Wanli, Xinzibiao and the original Wusongshui Battalion were merged and reorganized into the Left Infantry Battalion of the Imperial Army, which successively participated in a series of battles such as the Battle of Gaoyouwei, the suppression of the Cao Gang, the rebellion of the salt merchants, the bombardment of Zhenjiang City, the anti-three-way encirclement and suppression in the southern capital, the sweeping of the 66th Sweep of Kuandian, the blockade of Phoenix Mountain in North Korea, and the counterattack of Suwon, and a number of well-known combat heroes of the whole army emerged.

For example, Gaoyou Pig Raid single-knife rush to defeat more than 300 enemies Taidao Komatsu Forest, Liyang Fierce Battle and the strongest iron gunner Ryamoto Taro who killed three enemies with one blow, Xiaodian broke the city battle with one knife and one flag, Phoenix Mountain for the Ming Dynasty lonely hero Kumamoto Kojiro and so on.

However, during the special operation in North Korea, the unit had a shameful defeat, when the Hwanghae-do encountered the Korean Central Army, the unit was slow to move, delayed the fighter, and was scolded by the eunuch Wei Gonggong at the high-level combat meeting, saying what bullshit Iron Gun Team, if you dare to embarrass our family, we will send you back to Liaodong to mine!

During the subsequent confrontation between the north and south of the Hwanghaedo, the unit, under the command of Commander Koji Yamamoto, boldly pretended to be the defeated troops of the Korean Hwanghaedo, marched more than 90 miles in five hours, and cut off the road for the southward retreat of the Huanghaedo rout before the shotgun team of the Korean Central Forbidden Army arrived, and controlled the key points in the north and south in one fell swoop, so that the troops of the Ming Emperor were approaching Pyongyang, causing Seoul to shake, forcing the Korean king Gwanghaejun to secretly order his subordinates to immediately cease the war and sign a contract, and achieved the strategic goal of "promoting peace by fighting" set by the Duke of Wei before the war.

In this battle, the unit annihilated 125 enemies, wounded more than 240 people, and captured more than 2,400 Korean soldiers.

After the return of Korea, two-thirds of the unit was reorganized into the 1st Infantry Brigade of the Guards Division, and the other 3 was reorganized into the 1st Infantry Brigade of the Taiwan Garrison Division.

The battle hero Taito, Komatsubayashi, became the first captain of the 1st Guards Infantry Brigade, and the lone hero Kojiro Kumamoto became the leader of the 1st Garrison Infantry Squadron.

However, the glorious historical flag of the unit, the "Wind Forest Volcano", was not awarded to the 1st Guards Infantry Brigade, but to the 1st Garrison Infantry Squadron, which surprised the entire Imperial Army.

Because, in the tradition of the imperial army, the military flag is not only the honor of the army, but also the soul and inheritance of the army. If the military flag of the "Wind Forest Volcano" was given to the 1st Squadron of the Garrison Division, does it mean that the 1st Guards Infantry Brigade is no longer a glorious unit?

The officers and men of the 1st Guards Infantry Brigade were also very puzzled and unacceptable to this, and the captain of the brigade, Komatsu, constantly protested to the wing and brigade headquarters, and a group of low-ranking officers even prepared to go to the division headquarters to collectively disembowel, in order to express their dissatisfaction with the unfair awarding of military flags.

Senior generals such as Jiang Xifeng, chief of staff in charge of the formation of the division, Cao Wenyao, commander of the Guards Division, and other senior generals raised objections to Gonggong Wei on this matter, but Gonggong Wei insisted on doing so.

"The Wind Forest Volcano is a glorious history, but our First Infantry Brigade should not stay in the past, they should fight for their new glory!"

Wei Gonggong refused to award the "Wind Forest Volcano" to the 1st Guards Infantry Brigade, and expressed to the officers and men of the 1st Brigade his hope that they would be able to pursue a stronger and more glorious history.

At the subsequent meeting of senior generals of the garrison division, Gonggong Wei said to the brigade commander of the first infantry squadron, Jiu Taiye: "Master, my grandson has transferred to you what I can fight, don't look at a squadron, but this squadron is a real elite soldier, it is my grandson who specially strengthened your old brigade, and my grandson hopes that Fenglin Volcano can create more glory and reach a higher level under your old leadership!" ”

The first thing the officers and men of the 1st Garrison Infantry Squadron did after the reorganization was to collectively salute and bow to the military flag of the "Wind Forest Volcano" under the leadership of squadron leader Kojiro Kumamoto.

Subsequently, under the organization of the brigade and regiment headquarters, the officers and men watched the illustrated history of the battle of the "Fenglin Volcano" together. The veterans conveyed the excellent style of the army to the recruits through their own personal experience, and the new and old officers and soldiers jointly launched a solemn oath under the military flag, resolutely defending the inheritance of the "Wind Forest Volcano" with their lives, and being a glorious and excellent pig warrior.

After the brigade was ordered to enter Taiwan, the first infantry squadron has always been the vanguard of the brigade, and where there is a need, there is the banner of "Wind Forest Volcano"!

Now, the "Wind Forest Volcano" once again took on the vanguard and sword of the whole brigade and regiment, and they groped and helped each other along a path less than two or three people wide in the middle of the night to kill the enemy in the distance.

"Tell the officers and soldiers that we are the sons and daughters of the lord, we are the inheritors of the wind forest volcano, and we are the best pig's head!"

Squadron Leader Kojiro Kumamoto's left eye had been injured in battle, so his eyesight was a little bad, but this did not stop him from leading by example and marching at the front of the group.

Even if he fell down countless times in the middle; Even if his whole body was soaked with dew.

After all the hardships, Kojiro Kumamoto looked up at the east, and the sun was about to rise.

The first team exploring the road in front sent someone to report: "Your Excellency, with the assistance of the security team, we have discovered the enemy, and the first team is lurking with all its members, waiting for the attack order!" ”

"Very good, tell the first squad to continue to lurk, don't shoot a gun, don't drop it, you have to drop it quietly, understand!"

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

The herald stood upright in place, his right arm raised: "Loyalty!" "Neither does he turn back the way he came.

"Record!"

"Yes!"

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the 1st Infantry Squadron has fulfilled its mission, has discovered the enemy, and asks whether to attack!"

"Yes!"

The herald turned away.

Kumamoto took off the blindfold he was wearing on his left eye, looked at the Pingpu village in the distance with some excitement, and then touched the dagger he carried with him with some excitement.

It was given by the lord himself, and this dagger, together with the chrysanthemum embroidered on the sleeve collar of Kumamoto, clearly shows that he Kumamoto Kojiro is not only an excellent commander of the imperial army, but also an excellent retainer of the Great Wei family.

Itachi!
