Liang Yixiao asked curiously, "Commander, why are you asking this?" ”

Xu Rui pouted at Wang Husheng and Zheng Wen, who were chatting energetically, and said, "Xiao Liang, do you think it is possible for Lao Wang and Xiao Zheng?" ”

"Commissar, you say?" Liang Yi said with a smile.

Xu Rui nodded and said, "Do you think it's done?" ”

Liang smiled and said, "Regiment leader, will the political commissar be older?" ”

"Nonsense." Xu Rui said, "Lao Wang is just in his early thirties, and he is still a hairy young man." ”

Liang Yixiao couldn't help but smile when he heard this, thinking that the political commissar was still a hairy young man in his early thirties, and the head of the regiment You haven't reached thirty yet, aren't you just a little kid?

"Don't laugh." Xu Rui said, "I'm serious. ”

Liang Yi held back a smile and said, "In this way, I'll find a time to probe Wenwen's tone first." ”

"That's fine." Xu Rui said again, "Xiao Liang, you have to take this matter seriously, you must hurry up." ”

Liang smiled and stood up and said, "Don't worry, head of the regiment, I will definitely make this matter as much as possible." ”

"Oh, that's right." Xu Rui smiled slightly, glanced over there again, and then hummed a minor tune and turned his head and left, "What is the difference between us soldiers and soldiers, just because we are all wearing, simple military uniforms, we are soldiers, what is the difference, since I left my hometown, it is difficult to see my father and mother......"

The second half of 1938 was a difficult half year for the Japanese government and the Japanese army, but it was even more difficult for the Nationalist government and the Nationalist army.

Whether it was the Shanxi battlefield or the Wuhan battlefield, the national army was defeated and retreated one after another, and lost its division and territory one after another.

Just three days ago, Guangzhou, China's only outlet to the sea, was also captured by the newly formed 21st Army of the Japanese army, so that the Nationalist Government lost the last outlet to the sea, and the sea passage with the outside world was completely cut off by the Japanese army, and from then on it could only receive supplies from the outside world through the Yunnan-Vietnam Highway and the Yunnan-Burma Highway.

At this time, the Yunnan-Burma Highway was still being surveyed.

The Yunnan-Vietnam Highway was also too close to the coast and was in danger of being cut off by the Japanese army at any time, which was simply not enough to support China's War of Resistance, so in fact, the connection between the Nationalist Government and the outside world had been completely cut off by the Japanese army, and the huge China had in fact become an island.

In particular, Wang Ching-wei, a veteran of the Kuomintang who was then the premier of the Nationalist Government, secretly fanned the flames, and when the military and people of the whole country were struggling to resist the invaders on the front line, he summoned reporters from the Haitong News Agency and Reuters in Wuhan to openly declare that the door to the armistice was still not closed, and to trumpeting the three conditions for surrender put forward by the Japanese Government.

Although the Battle of Wuhan had not yet ended, the strategy at the national level had in fact turned to political inducement, and put forward three extremely deceptive conditions for surrender to the Nationalist Government: no Chinese territory, no indemnity, and withdrawal within two years!

Outside, the Japanese government tried every means to lure people to surrender, and inside, the capitulation faction headed by Wang Jingwei added fuel to the fire, and for a time, capitulationism began to surge in China, and it was very rampant! This is also a normal thing, a country and a nation will never and cannot have one voice, and it is impossible for everyone to be a hero.

In times of peace, the voices of these scum do not pose a threat.

For example, in the time and space before Xu Rui crossed over, China at that time had de facto risen to become a superpower, but the traitor capitulationism was also prevalent in China, shootings broke out in the United States every day, and Europe was attacked every day, but some minions who had been kneeling for a long time were unwilling to stand upright and always shouted for Western-style democracy.

Fortunately, at that time, China's national peace and security, the argument of surrender could not become the climate at all.

However, in the war years, the argument of surrender will pose a serious threat to the security of the country and the nation.

Therefore, Chairman Mao of the CPC Central Committee pointed out at a meeting in Yan'an that it is necessary to wage a resolute struggle against the domestic surrender arguments from the public opinion, and to report more heroic deeds on the battlefield of resistance against Japan from the public opinion, so as to give more confidence to the military and the people of the whole country.

Against this background, the vast number of base areas behind enemy lines began to vigorously excavate the heroic deeds of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and hyped them up through various Chinese and foreign media.

The Nationalist Government is also happy to see this happen.

Because the Nationalist Army fought very the frontal battlefield, since the Communists were willing to be the first to fight against the surrendering faction with all their firepower, Chairman Chiang and the Kuomintang were of course happy to see it happen, because if the Communists did so, they would become a thorn in the side of little Japan and attract the attention of the little devils.

Under the vigorous promotion of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, a large number of heroic deeds about the War of Resistance behind enemy lines were disseminated through newspapers, broadcasts and communications, among which the most well-known is Xu Ye, the anti-Japanese hero of the Dameishan base area, because he created a legend, not only killed a wing captain of the devil as a recruit, but also captured a devil wing flag!

At this time, the CCP's public opinion propaganda machine had not yet started in full force, but was only on the eve of the storm, but the Japanese secret services, which had always had a keen sense of smell, had already smelled the smell of the storm and reported the news to the generals at all levels of the Japanese army invading China as soon as possible.

"Nani?" Shunroku Hata turned his head suddenly, looked at Shozo Riverside in disbelief, and hissed, "Wing flag? Are you saying that the wing flag of the 10th Infantry Regiment was captured by the Independent Regiment? ”

At this moment, Shunroku Hata simply wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.

Shunroku Hata can't be blamed for this, because what Shozo Kawabe said just now is too unbelievable.

As the commander of the Central China Dispatch Army of the Japanese Invasion of China, no one knew better than Shunroku Hata how difficult it was to capture the flag of the Japanese infantry or cavalry wing, because each infantry or cavalry wing had a special flag protection squad, and this flag protection team almost did not have to undertake combat missions, and their only mission was to protect the military flag.

Not only that, when an infantry or cavalry wing is in danger of being wiped out, according to the Japanese military regulations, the flag protection squad can burn the wing flag in advance, as long as the flag guard team burns the wing flag in advance, even if the entire infantry or cavalry wing is killed, it can still be rebuilt, and the establishment does not need to be revoked.

Therefore, since the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese Army has never had the flag of the wing surrendered.

Previously, whether it was in Feicheng or on the Wanjialing battlefield, the wing flags of the Kagoshima Wing and the four infantry wings of the 106th Division were all burned in advance, so Hata Shunroku couldn't believe the cruel fact that the wing flag of the 10th Infantry Wing was captured by the independent regiment.

Could it be that the Independent Regiment is really so powerful?

Could it be that the offensive of the Independent Regiment is really so fierce? Is it really moving so fast?

Could it be that the offensive of the independent regiment was so fast that the flag protection team did not have time to burn the flag of the wing?

At that moment, Shunroku Hata shook his head and said again: "Riverside-san, could it be that the wing flag of the 10th Infantry Wing has been burned in advance by the flag protection team, and the independent regiment just forged a military flag?" ”

"Hai, this possibility cannot be ruled out." Hebe Zhengsan nodded and said, "However, according to the internal report of our lurking in the third war zone of China, the Dameishan Independent Regiment has reported this news to the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army and the headquarters ......of the commander of the third war zone of the National Army.

Shunroku Hata frowned and asked, "What's more?" ”

Hebian Zheng paused three times and said, "What's more, although Xu Rui has always been scheming, it seems that he has never broken his faith in what he has said. ”

When Shunroku Hata heard this, he immediately fell silent.

Because what Shozo Kawabe said is the truth.

Although Xu Rui is scheming, although he is as cunning as a fox, but the words he has spoken in public, the threats he has made, it seems that he has never broken his word and gained weight, thinking of this, Hata Junliu felt a chill in the back of his neck, because Xu Rui had also publicly issued personal threats to him, threatening to behead him.

Kawabe Shozo said again: "Your Excellency, this is not the worst. ”

"Nani, what's worse?" Toshiroku Hata, "What's the situation?" ”

Kawabe Shozo said in a deep voice: "Hatoda just called and said that they had just received information from the inner line lurking in the top echelons of the Shina government, and that in order to suppress the moderates led by Wang Jingwei, Chiang had agreed to use the propaganda machine of the Nationalist government to help the Communist Party hype up the heroic deeds of various battlefields, and I am worried about ......."

Hata Junroku's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Are you worried that the Shina Army will make a big fuss about the wing flag of the 10th Infantry Wing?" ”

"Hello." Hebe Zhengsan paused, "Other things, even if it is the fiasco of the Wanjialing battlefield, no matter how the CCP and the Kuomintang publicize it, it has nothing to do with the overall situation, because the victory of the imperial army on the Sino-Japanese battlefield far outweighs the defeat, but only the wing flag of the 10th Infantry Wing is not trivial." ”

Shunroku Hata bowed his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "You are right, every flag is a gift from the emperor, which not only represents the supreme honor of the Japanese imperial family, but also symbolizes the supreme glory of the Imperial Japanese Army, if the people of China really make a big fuss about the wing commander of the 10th Infantry Wing, it will not only seriously damage the honor of the imperial family, but also cause serious damage to the image of the Imperial Japanese Army. ”

"Hay, they will, even Germany could fall into the ground." Kawabe Shozo paused, "These white people in the West have never really looked up to us Orientals, and one day, we will tell these Western white-skinned pigs with iron and blood on the battlefield that the Orientals are not inferior to them in wisdom, courage or ability." ”

"Don't talk about that." Shunroku Hata said, "Let's talk about the wing flag first. ”
