Chapter 42: The Great Victory
A total of 536 people, including Yukihiro Hirata, were disarmed under Liu Yang's gaze. At this moment, Liu Yang's heart seemed to be blocked by something, and there was no joy of victory at all! It's like a boxer who is about to fight back with all his might after being punched twice by the opponent, but the opponent surrenders?
"I wonder if I can meet your master?" Yukihiro Hirata bowed to Liu Yang! "You'll see you, Master. By the way, what about that little flag in your wing? Can I take a look at it first? "Liu Yang is very concerned about Xu Qingyun's care for the flag of the 29th Wing!
Yukihiro Hirata sighed in his heart, how could this Chinese ** person pay so much attention to the United Team Flag? The Japanese military flag was given by the emperor himself, and it was only owned by the formed infantry wing and the cavalry wing, so it was also called the wing flag. According to the regulations of the Army, the military flag will be established when it is present, and the military flag will be sanctioned if it is lost. Therefore, the military flag is a very important thing in the Japanese army. If the flag, which symbolizes the honor and glory of the wing, falls into the hands of the enemy, it is the greatest shame for the Japanese soldiers. Later in World War II, the Allies were very eager to capture the Japanese flag, but they were unable to do so. In the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese army only burned two military flags in Songshan and Tengchong. When the Japanese commander judged that the situation was unfavorable to him and that there was a danger of total annihilation, he would give the flag guard an order to burn the flag in advance, and there was still time to commit suicide after burning the flag. So it was very difficult to capture a wing flag of the Japanese army!
searched the entire wing headquarters, and didn't even let go of bottles and cans. The guard, who had not found anything, returned to Liu Yang's side in despair. Coupled with the fact that Yukihiro Hirata was hesitant before, Liu Yang felt that this old boy must be hiding somewhere, or did he send someone away?
Just as Liu Yang touched his chin and wondered where the flag of the 29th Wing was hidden, Zhou Xinwen came to Liu Yang with her team members. "Head Liu, give you a big gift! The things that a squad of devils don't even want to protect with their lives should probably be good goods! Zhou Xinwen threw a very special bag to Liu Yang. Liu Yang's eyes lit up instantly, just like a vicious wolf seeing meat. "You don't regret it? Do you know what this thing is? Liu Yang's voice trembled a little excitedly! No matter what it is, the old lady is not rare, and it is better to kill devils than anything else! "Then she left with her crew!
Yukihiro Hirata, who was on the side, saw the bag, his eyes turned black and he almost fainted. When the surrounding devils saw this bag, they suddenly ran towards the weapon pile like crazy. This frightened the officers and men of the Second Regiment, and there were a few surprises. However, the next scene made the officers and soldiers of the 2nd Regiment dumbfounded. Most of the devils who rushed to the pile of weapons grabbed not rifles, but bayonets? The devil who snatched the bayonet went to the ground and knelt down, and the bayonet snorted into his stomach, leaving only the hilt of the knife, and then pulled horizontally. Seppuku? Liu Yang was dumbfounded. Isn't it just a small flag?
Liu Yang did not know that the reason why the Japanese army attached importance to the military flag was because it was the highest materialized form of the Japanese militarist spirit. Later, the Battle of Nomenkan broke out between the Soviet Union and Japan. From the launch of the Soviet offensive on August 20 to the ceasefire on the 30th, within 10 days, the closure of the . The Eastern Army suffered 18,000 casualties, most of the formed wings of the 23rd Division and the 7th Division were completely annihilated, and the Japanese Army suffered its heaviest defeat since its formation. In this case, the Japanese army is still brewing a larger-scale death attack, why? Harakyuke. Junpei Gomikawa, a veteran of the Eastern Army and a Japanese writer, wrote in his book "Nomenhan": "I heard that after the 64th Wing and others were annihilated, Guan. What the Eastern Army and the 6th Army were most worried about was not whether and how the captain of the Wuguang Wing of Shan County died, but whether the military flag would be completely burned and whether it would fall into the hands of the enemy. Close. After this, the Eastern Army mobilized the 2nd Division, the 4th Division and other directly subordinate units in an attempt to launch a major counteroffensive, and the unclear flag was one of the main reasons. The military flag has become a major concern for them. "On September 24, the Japanese army finally found the bodies of the two captains of the 64th Wing Yama Prefecture Takemitsu and the 13th Independent Field Artillery Wing Ise Takahide on the 747 Heights, and also found the military flag of the 64th Wing that had not been completely burned (the artillery wing had no military flag), and the chrysanthemum royal flag crown of the military flag was also found from the flag bearer's pocket. This discovery made the 6th Army and Guan. The Eastern Army breathed a sigh of relief, and their main concern was not how many soldiers died, but the flag: the most unstable and restless thing for them was whether the flag fell into the hands of the Soviet army. Because for them, losing the military flag is off. The great shame of the Eastern Army. What's more, losing the military flag means losing your face. Close. Whether it is the "second phase of the operation" planned by the Eastern Army or the "battlefield clearance", one of the potential factors, or the unspeakable purpose, is to find the military flag whose whereabouts are unknown.
The 7th Division of the Japanese Army, which participated in the war, because the division commander Lieutenant General Sonobe Kazuichiro did not have confidence in this egg-like battle, asked his subordinate wing in advance to leave all the military flags in Qiqihar, the garrison. Although there were not a few soldiers left in the three wings, according to the theory of the Japanese Army, these wings could not be regarded as annihilated, and could be rebuilt. For this, the 7th Division was greatly rejoiced. In this regard, Junpei Gomigawa, who was drafted into the army as a small intellectual, was deeply confused and angry: "The military flag is a flag, just a symbol of the army, and it is just a form to say that it was given by the emperor; Wars are judged by victory or defeat, how can a military flag determine victory or defeat? It would be foolish to send an army for the sake of an unaccounted for flag...... A leader who tries to throw thousands of people to death again for the sake of a military flag is a real, out-and-out war maniac. However, in the memories of most Japanese soldiers in the past, there would be no objection to this. Survivor of the Battle of Nomenhan, former Japanese Seki. Cao Matsumoto, a medical officer of the 23rd Division of the Eastern Army, recalled in his book "The Vast Wilderness: Nomenhan": "The military flag is just a flag, at best a symbol of a troop, but the entire Japanese army regards the military flag very seriously, and it is more noble than everything in the troops. If we talk about the reasons, we have to say that it is the result of the education of the Japanese military command. I remember when I was a child, whenever there was an army military exercise, my mother always carried me on her back, followed the neighbors to watch, and participated in the welcome ceremony, and never dared to slack off. When the bright bayonet passed in front of them along with the military flag wrapped in black cloth, my mother and the neighbors knelt down and bowed together, and watched the military flag pass with tears in their eyes. To this day, whenever I see the military flag, I still involuntarily lower my head, which is probably also the result of being influenced by that era. At that time, the tone of militarism was blowing, and it was in that environment that we people were domesticated. But also, the education and edification received when he was 3 years old are still deeply imprinted in his mind after more than 60 years, and he can't erase them even if he wants to. It can be seen how arrogant and arrogant the Japanese army was at that time. Under the banner of the conquest of East Asia, those naïve and shallow soldiers began to stir up, and eventually formed a huge and frightening tide of aggression......
Took more than 500 people captive, and committed suicide by more than 300 at once? This made Liu Yang very incomprehensible. "Quickly clean up the battlefield and return to position!" Liu Yang threw down a sentence and turned around and left!
When the Yamashita team chased the members of the Tugou Squadron to Liaozhong County, they finally received the news that the 29th Wing had been completely annihilated. Yamashita stopped the pursuit of the Tsuchigou squadron and turned to Seki. This was reported by the command of the Eastern Army!
How could Honjo Shigeru not understand how the war situation had become so erosive that it was out of control? Looking at the board in front of me that doesn't have a fart. Seishiro Aki and Ishihara Waner, Honjo Shigeru suddenly figured it out, it turned out that his departure was what they wanted to see the most, right? These two scumbags! This battle is lost, so what to do next? This is the headache of Honjo! He didn't even take down the position outside Jinzhou, and a wing was gone, how could he explain it to Tokyo?
Compared with the distress of this village, Xu Qingyun in Jinzhou City can be said to be extremely happy. Not only did the 29th Wing kill the devils, but also captured the Wing flag? However, after seeing the casualty statistics, Xu Qingyun was silent. The second regiment and the first battalion were disabled, the second battalion and the third battalion suffered nearly half of the casualties, the first regiment and the first battalion suffered one-third of the casualties, and even the cavalry battalion suffered more than 200 casualties! At the cost of 2,500 casualties, the 29th Wing of the devils killed nearly 4,000 devils, Xu Qingyun didn't know whether to celebrate or curse!
"Chairman, Jinzhou is a great victory!" At eleven o'clock in the night, Lao Jiang was just about to fall asleep when he was called by the director of the chamberlain, and Lao Jiang was quite dissatisfied with this, but after hearing the word "great victory", that little dissatisfaction disappeared. "Xu Qingyun's troops annihilated a wing of the Japanese army on the day of the fierce battle with the Japanese army outside Jinzhou City, and captured its wing flag!" The head of the chamberlain repeated it again. "Oh?" Lao Jiang grabbed the telegram with some gaffes and read it carefully. "Niang Xipi, good fight! This Xu Er was stunned and really didn't disappoint me! Lao Jiang walked back and forth excitedly, and his scalp, which was usually blue, was faintly glowing red at the moment! Xu Qingyun Jinzhou fought a war and a blood ninety-one. The shame of the eighth has played the national prestige and played a bad breath in the hearts of 40,000 compatriots across the country! More importantly, it has set an example for the government to reorganize the army, how can this not make Lao Jiang excited?
In the early morning of the next day, Xu Qingyun was still asleep when he was disturbed by the sound of gongs and drums outside. "Congratulations to Senior Commander Xu, congratulations to Senior Commander Xu, Jinzhou's victory is really happy!" It turned out to be Yang Jing in Liaozhong? "It is the duty of a soldier to defend the land and resist the war, Boss Yang praises it!" Xu Qingyun smiled indifferently! Xu Qingyun didn't know that the news of Jinzhou's victory had already swept the whole country like a whirlwind, making the people of Jinzhou from 91. In the gloom of the eight, I saw the hope of victory, and the invincible Japanese would also have such a crushing defeat, and the government still had a division that dared to fight, could fight, and can win, and the people of the country were cheered up! Even the **Soviets sent congratulatory telegrams.
"Master, Nanjing Commendation Electric!" Chu Xiaoran blocked between Xu Qingyun and Yang Jing at the right time. "Read!" Xu Qingyun glanced at Yang Jing meaningfully. "I am glad to hear that your troops have completely annihilated the 29th Wing of the enemy, and the country is very fortunate. Xu Qingyun was promoted to lieutenant general of the National Revolutionary Army, commander of Jinzhou City Defense, and awarded 600,000 silver yuan...... "Chu Xiaoran's voice at this moment is so pleasant?
The official was promoted to one level, and the word "generation" also went, but Xu Qingyun did not have the joy of victory. The so-called success will make ten thousand bones dry, although Xu Qingyun understands this truth, he has not yet succeeded in crossing this hurdle! "The pensions of the dead and disabled officers and soldiers must be paid in full and to their families and themselves as soon as possible!" Xu Qingyun glared at Xu Dong, who was carried away next to him! "Master, this reward hasn't arrived yet!" Xu Dong looked helpless. "First from the division headquarters logistics, and then make up when you arrive!".
