This command is valid!

From the moment the regimental flag appeared on the battlefield, the situation on the battlefield completely changed! The moment all the officers and men saw the regimental flag appear on the battlefield, no matter how tired they were before, now they were once again in good spirits, and once again launched a decisive attack on the British army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

All the officers and soldiers are risking their lives to attack the British army, and they will not take a breath until the British surrender or enter Toronto, even if they die, they will continue to advance!

For the soldiers, the regimental flag that appeared on the battlefield was not only a talisman, but also a symbol of victory!

Just like at this moment, the fluttering regimental flag symbolizes victory!

A symbol of their determination and courage!

Encouraged by the regimental flag, thousands of officers and soldiers sacrificed their lives to attack, and after capturing the British position, they did not stop, but immediately advanced to the depth without stopping, and the British defense line was even more imminent, at this time, no one could stop their footsteps!

Looking into the distance, the standard-bearer who had used up his last life and planted the regimental flag on the enemy's position was carried on a stretcher by the ambulances, An Guotao immediately threw away the staff officers beside him and walked briskly towards the wounded retreat trench, he wanted to see the standard-bearer.

If there is anyone in this battle that he cannot forget, I am afraid that it is this standard-bearer, perhaps, only he is qualified as a symbol of this battle.

In any unit, the standard-bearer is the best and bravest second lieutenant, and one of the closest commanders to the soldiers, and in an infantry regiment, perhaps the soldiers may not know the name of the commander, but they will definitely know the name of the standard-bearer. This newly formed unit is no exception.

Moreover, the standard-bearers of the four infantry regiments were all extremely good officers. Of course, they are also the most promising officers, they will be the first officers in the regiment to be promoted to lieutenant, captain and even major, and any second lieutenant is appointed as a standard-bearer, which often means that they have started the highway of military career!

But now, this excellent second lieutenant is ...... Is he alive or dead?

When the wounded soldiers retreated to the trench more than 200 meters away, the air was filled with a thick smell of blood. There were wounded everywhere, silently walking in the retreat trench, and finally, An Guotao saw the standard-bearer who was carried down by two stretcher soldiers, it was a second lieutenant who looked only twenty-one or twelve years old, the military uniform on his abdomen was torn, blood continued to gush out from the bandage, and the white bandage was completely dyed black and red.

"Sir, he was shot three times in the body, all of them were critically wounded!"

After the arrival of the division commander, the military medical officer who had just checked the wound explained to the side, the military medical officer looked at the flag bearer, he didn't even know how he supported it, according to the normal situation, he should have fallen a long time ago, but he used his body to support the military flag.

I don't know if the military flag supports him, or if he supports the military flag.

Bending down, looking at the flag bearer whose breath was getting weaker and weaker, An Guotao looked at his face, there was no trace of pain on the young and surprisingly strange face, there was just a calm, a calm that saw through life and death, and the flag bearer forced a military salute when he saw the arrival of the commander.

"Long ...... Sir......"

What he wanted to ask, perhaps the question he was most concerned about was whether the troops had completed their combat mission, and his regimental flag, and perhaps that was also his concern.

"Flag officer, are you married?"

The flag bearer, which is the official name of the flag bearer, is going to write a letter to the flag bearer's wife, knowing that it will be difficult for the seriously injured flag bearer in front of him to survive.

"Knot...... It's over, and there's still one that hasn't ...... No, the child who was born ......"

A smile appeared on the face of the standard-bearer, whose voice was getting lower and lower, but there seemed to be some regret in the smile, his eyes looked at the sky without blinking, as if he saw the face of his wife who had been separated for a long time, and it seemed that he saw an unborn child, but the look in his eyes was passing little by little, his eyebrows were furrowed from time to time, and he was experiencing severe pain.

"I ...... True...... Think......! ”

These were the last words that the standard-bearer left in the world, and before he could finish it, his eyes were still open, as if his wish had not been fulfilled.

What was his last word?

Do you want to break into the city? Or take another look at your wife and children?

None of this matters!

For him, his youthful life was over......

After standing up, An Guotao gave a military salute to the flag bearer, and everyone around him saluted, and after a few seconds, he lowered his right hand and said to the officer next to him.

"Give me his information!"

He wanted to write down this young standard-bearer and keep him in his memory, and then An Guotao looked around the busy wounded soldiers' trenches, one by one the wounded soldiers were constantly carried into the trenches, and most of the wounded soldiers had lost their lives before they entered the field ambulance, looking at the side of the trenches, the corpses of the soldiers stained red with blood, his expression was extremely solemn.

Will the cost of victory be too heavy?

"We have to delve into politics and the military, so that our children can be free to delve into industry and commerce. Our children have to delve into industry and commerce so that their children can go into art and literature. Each generation has its own mission...... This may be the fate of our generation! ”

Thinking of the sigh of His Majesty the Emperor that he heard in the military academy once upon a time, An Guotao's expression was filled with a hint of pain, and for the first time, he found that he had never aspired to military merit at all.

One will be a success!

People may remember this victory, remember the generals who commanded the battle, but who will remember these most ordinary warriors?

Who will remember this standard-bearer?

Generation?

A dormitory for a generation!

But who can remember this generation?

People will always remember only the so-called famous generals, and as for those who gave their lives for victory behind the famous generals, no one will remember!

"When this battle is over, I'm going to build a monument here! Cast with a bronze cannon from the captured British! I will cast our flag bearers, and I will let the whole world, so that everyone will always remember them! Remember their sacrifices! ”

For An Guotao, perhaps, this is the only thing he can do. The only thing that can be done for the dead standard-bearers, and the soldiers who died on this battlefield.

For An Guotao, he never imagined that he would one day command such a tragic battle, and the tragic battle paid off, before 8 o'clock in the morning, the attacking troops tore through the British defense. As they pushed into the city, even as the gunners were aiming at the city for the first round of artillery fire, a white flag was raised in the city, and a British officer, escorted by soldiers carrying the white flag, went to the front.

"Welcome, General Hank."

Dozens of minutes later, in an empty room, An Guotao stepped forward with a serious expression and saluted the British lieutenant general, and then expressed his welcome.

"I'm Hank, Commander-in-Chief of the British Forces in Canada. Pls you are. ”

Hank looked curiously at the officer in front of him, and looked at the group of respectful subordinates behind him, who should be a senior commander.

"Oh, I am the commander of the 167th Division of the Chinese Empire, Brigadier General An Guotao."

An Guotao nodded in greeting, this rank of others is a temporary military rank, in fact, his official military rank is just colonel.

"I've been looking forward to seeing you, Your Excellency. Your deployment has caused me a lot of trouble. ”

It's just a nuisance, An Guotao said to Hank in fluent English.

"My deployment has only caused trouble to His Excellency General, but His Excellency General has already developed the art of war to the extreme, and I have long wanted to meet you!"

Hank shook hands with An Guotao, his words were from the bottom of his heart, and even now, he couldn't believe that he had lost, so quickly, so simply.

"No!"

Shaking his head, An Guotao did not accept Hank's compliment, but said seriously.

"Actually, my plan was too risky, and in the process of attacking Toronto, the surprise attack turned into a strong attack, which means that the plan failed!"

"General, your surprise attack only took two hours to defeat me!"

Hank said seriously. There was unwillingness in his tone, originally he thought that he could hold it for a few days, but who would have thought that he would only hold it for two hours, and then his defense line would collapse.

"It's not my surprise attack, it's my warriors!"

Looking at Hank, An Guotao said seriously.

"It was the valiant soldiers who made up for the shortcomings of my plan with their bravery and sacrifice!"

An Guotao's heartfelt words, listening to Hank's ears, made him just nod helplessly, which can be regarded as a sign of agreement, after all, he is the losing party.

"Your Excellency General, let's sit down first, and now let's put all this aside and start negotiating."

An Guotao made a gesture of invitation to the conference table, which was actually a dining table, and then turned around and sat down on the side of the conference table. Hank and his men sat on the other side of the table.

After introducing the personnel, An Guotao looked at Hank and said.

"General, now that the results of the battle have come out, I think you agree that we should end the current battle through negotiations, instead of letting the soldiers of the two countries make unnecessary sacrifices!"

"Yes, General, I agree with this, and that's why I ordered the troops to cease fire!"

Hank replied truthfully that there was another reason why he ordered the troops to surrender - Toronto was no longer able to hold on, and if he continued to fight, he would lose his last bargaining chip.

"Well, since we both agree, then everything will be very easy to handle next, and our condition is that His Excellency General immediately orders all British troops in Canada to stand in place and wait to surrender to our army!"
