Chapter 671

"I'm sorry ......"

He said silently in his heart, Sun Xinghai knew that maybe he would never be able to fulfill his promise again, and he would not be able to return to her. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

I'm sorry......

After saying this "I'm sorry", Sun Xinghai's last insistence in his heart finally relaxed, his head tilted, sitting there on his knees, his body shaking.

Finally, the rifle fell, and when the rifle fell, Sun Xinghai slowly fell......

Just as he was about to fall, a pair of military boots suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and then a person hugged him violently, and then in his already vague consciousness, he heard someone shouting loudly there.

"Company commander, company commander...... Ambulance ...... Ambulance"

The soldier with the company commander in his arms kept screaming and shouting for the ambulance, and soon an ambulance ran to his side, and picked his clothes with a knife, and the five or six wounds stabbed by the bayonet would no longer bleed outward, his blood seemed to have been drained, and the most fatal was the gunshot wound to his chest.

The ambulance shook his head, looking at the muzzle of the gun on his chest, the soldier knew that the company commander would not survive, but even so, he still stubbornly shouted, asking the ambulance to bandage the wound,

"Sir, don't die! Be sure to hold on! ”

The soldier kept saying to the company commander, trying to wake up the company commander, but suddenly, the soldier's eyes widened, and he looked ahead with excitement.

"Look, look at that, it's a regimental flag! It's a regimental flag! Sir, open your eyes and see! ”

The warrior was close to the commander's ear, shouting loudly, and Sun Xinghai, who had almost stopped breathing, suddenly opened his eyes and squirmed his body by his own strength.

"It's a regimental flag! Sir, look...... Look! ”

A red military flag inlaid with black tassels marched forward dozens of meters in front of him.

Did he see it?

Maybe he saw it, he saw it, just like when he left his homeland, he accepted this regimental flag on behalf of the team, this is their military flag!

It was the regimental flag they brought from the mainland thousands of miles across the ocean.

The regimental flag is on the offensive!

Lying in the arms of his comrades-in-arms, Sun Xinghai lay motionless in the arms of his comrades-in-arms, and he opened his mouth......

No one heard what he was saying,

What did he want to say in the last moments of his life?

The soldier holding him didn't know that this was his last word, maybe he wanted to say to the regimental flag that he was no longer good, and hoped that his comrades-in-arms could be led by the regimental banner and be able to win!

Perhaps, of course, this is only the conjecture of others, and no one knows what he is trying to say, but one thing is for sure, until the last moment of death, his eyes seem to have been following the regimental flag, the regimental flag they had brought from their homeland to North America.

In the smoke of gunpowder, that dough flag is attacking!

Red regimental flag!

It was so striking in the smoke of gunpowder, and its attack was so resolute, without the slightest flinch, without the slightest hesitation.

The already exhausted warriors, when they saw the regimental flag, did not know that the power that burst from there, once again supported their tired bodies, and once again launched an attack on the enemy.

Just like their initial attack, brave, even to the point of sparing, at this time, every warrior turned into a vicious tiger, for them, it seems that there is no other nostalgia in this world, they live for only one purpose.

Fight!

Where does this power come from?

The British, naturally, know very well, and everyone knows very well, that it is the military flag!

It was the flag that sustained their will, and the flag became a symbol, and at such times, the flag naturally became the object of the enemy's good deeds, and the shells did not fall on the side of the standard-bearer, and the bullets kept hitting him. But no matter the rain of bullets, it could not stop the advance of the regimental flag, and the standard-bearer was attacking with the regimental flag held high!

But it didn't take long for the regimental flag bearer who attacked with the troops to die, when the flag bearer was hit by multiple bullets, his body slammed back, and blood shot into the sky, originally, he should have fallen backwards, but he didn't, when he was hit by the bullets, before the strength completely disappeared, he used his last strength to stick the flagpole in the cannonball-scorched, blood-soaked land, the flag was planted there, and the regimental flag fluttered rhythmically with his shaking, which was perhaps the most beautiful and majestic scene in the world!

The regimental flag was fluttering, and below that regimental flag was the fallen flag-bearer!

The dead standard-bearer held the banner and stood between heaven and earth!

At this time, for the attacking Chinese officers and soldiers, there was only this picture left in their eyes, and this picture was imprinted in the minds of almost everyone, and even became the only impression in their minds.

Hundreds of meters away, An Guotao, who was holding a telescope in his hand, looked at the regimental flag fluttering in the wind with a solemn expression, looking at the picture composed of the flag-bearer and the regimental flag with his body on his lean, tears slipped down from his eyes, but he clutched the telescope tightly, but he did not have any chagrin because of the order he had given.

Offensive!

This is his order!

He was to enter Toronto by ten o'clock in the morning and get the British to sign the surrender agreement.

He didn't have time to spend it anymore!

From the moment the surprise attack turned into a strong attack, the soldiers were destined to tear a passage with their lives, and they had to completely smash the British resistance before they could react.

He knows better than anyone what it means to have a long night, and he knows very well what may happen if it is consumed, which is likely to lead to a complete defeat in this battle!

Falling short!

He would never allow this kind of thing to happen!

In An Guotao's telescope, the surrounding flag guards once again raised the regimental flag, and then once again launched a charge with the attacking troops, for the Imperial Army, the regimental flag usually will never attack with the troops, once the order to attack with the regimental flag is issued, everyone knows that there is no room for negotiation in this battle, they can only attack, even if the casualties are great, because in addition, they have no choice!

The regimental flag is an honor!

Since when did the regimental flag become the honor of the military?

Perhaps it was from the day of the first flag presentation during the Han Army period that for the Chinese army, the regimental flag became a supreme honor.

For the 167th Division, the four infantry regiments to which it belonged, although they were newly formed troops, and even their soldiers were just a group of lumberjacks who had come to North America from the mainland a few months ago, they still observed strict etiquette when awarding flags, and selected the best officers to form a flag team, and then received the flag from His Majesty in the palace.

The regimental flag was awarded to the troops by the emperor himself!

That is, from the moment the flag is awarded, for the infantry regiment, their responsibility is to ensure the honor of the military flag! And defending the military flag and the regimental flag is its natural duty!

The military flag is the honor of the soldiers, their battle is for the honor of the military flag, they swear not to surrender, the military flag is the symbol of a troop!

It is precisely because of the special status enjoyed by the military flag that the military flag is rarely on the battlefield! At least it was almost never seen at the front line, and it was only seen when officers and soldiers took the oath. Most of the time, the regimental flag is guarded by the flag team, and it is never easy to show people.

But now, this military flag, which symbolizes honor, has appeared on the front line, not only on the front line, but even in the rain of bullets, and launched a charge with the troops!

For any Chinese army unit, after the regimental flag appears on the battlefield, they have only two choices, either they are completely campaign objective, or they can be killed by the regimental commander and down to the soldiers, and the regimental flag may be captured by the enemy.

"The regimental flag follows the army!"

In the past, it often only existed in military textbooks, and in the military terminology of the Imperial Army, there was no "place of death", only "regimental flag with the army", but this was often just a noun! For any infantry regiment, these four words are their talisman, and everyone understands what it means to be unsuccessful.

Unsuccessful means that the surviving flags will be captured by the enemy, and then the whole regiment will be dismantled, and from then on, this number will not only cease to exist in the sequence of the Guards, but also mean shame, and even if they are hurried, after retirement, they will also suffer shame - the retirement of the number.

For retired veterans, this humiliation will stay with them for the rest of their lives, and when the other legions celebrate at Veterans Centers everywhere, when they cheer there, they are a bunch of people who don't have a number, and they are not even eligible to participate in Veterans Center activities on Army Day, because they don't have a number!

This lifelong shame will also affect the life of the officers, and the surviving officers will not only be demoted, but also subjected to strict scrutiny, even if it is determined that they have not acted cowardly during the battle, but their future in the army is ruined! No officer will promote an officer who has lost his flag, not even a single unit will accept them, and no soldier will accept their command. In this case, there is only one waiting for them - early retirement.

Although no unit has ever lost its flag since the founding of the army, everyone knows what it means from the moment they joined the army! Know what awaits them when they lose their flag!

It is precisely because he understands the meaning of the regimental flag that An Guotao will make a decision -- "the regimental flag will follow the army", which is the first time in history that an army commander has issued such an order. This order is risky, and it can even be said to be unprecedented, because after losing the regimental flag, An Guotao, as a divisional commander, also needs to be responsible, but he still issued this order, because he knows what the regimental flag means in the hearts of the officers and soldiers!
