Nozu Michikan was assassinated, and the guards who were suddenly mutated reacted quickly and immediately rushed forward to surround Yama Prefecture Youtomo, who was squatting down. The guards searched around, and the soldiers on the periphery rushed in the direction where the gunshots came.

Looking at the fallen officer in the scope, Qin Yongshan quickly pulled the bolt of the gun and fired another shot at another officer. It's a pity that this shot only hit the guards. Qin Yongshan picked up the gun and quickly turned around and retreated according to the pre-prepared road. The mountains of North Korea are high and densely forested, and Qin Yongshan's running drove the branches around him to shake.

"Over there." He found out about the attacker's movements, and then went forward to round him up.

In order to maintain a fast speed and avoid entanglement of plants and trees, he naturally chose to advance in places where plants and trees were relatively sparse. The man who found the ambush himself was furious that the damned attacker didn't even have a bullet casing left.

"Ahh The captain of the team, Jiro Toyoda, found a trap at the foot of the fallen soldier. The trap glowed green.

"Baga, I actually fed poison. Keep moving. "They were greeted by hidden arrows, traps, and mines.

With a "whoosh", a sharp arrow flew in, and the soldier quickly dodged sideways, but the sharp arrow cut a wound on the arm. It was originally a minor wound on the arm, but with the addition of poison, it became a fatal wound.

There was another "boom" sound, and he triggered a tripping mine, and three soldiers died here on the spot. And the fragments of the mine explosion killed and injured five soldiers. The five soldiers died in a black face after only a few moments.

"Yaga, despicable Shina." Jiro Toyoda's eyes turned red. The Qing people even smeared poison on the mines.

The ubiquitous traps made him finally give up the pursuit. On the way back, he also triggered a mechanism, and this time the failed pursuit not only found nothing, but also cost 23 lives.

Nozu Michikan was lucky, Qin Yongshan chose the heart part to ensure that the hit gave up hitting the head, and the bullet that hit him was only half a centimeter away from his heart. Nozu Michikan still didn't die in the end, and he could command the troops with illness after half a month. But the ubiquitous Qing blockers doubled the guards of the senior officers. It was not until July 24 that when Ben launched an attack on the Qing defense line on the Yalu River, a total of 33 officers, including a wing commander, and 176 soldiers were shot and killed by various traps. And the side only harvested a bunch of shells.

Since the Meiji Restoration, he has been expanding his armaments with a thrifty diet. Finally, the soldiers who occupied Korea released all the ** they had suppressed for a long time. As the army looted and annihilated more and more in Korea, it was also resisted by North Korea stronger and stronger. The Korean people of that world could only endure silently and resist on a small scale because they could not receive foreign assistance. But the world has changed, and under the coordination of the Qing special forces, a large number of guns and ammunition have been transported from the mountains of northern Korea, arming more and more North Korean soldiers, and the occupation forces of Yuben have found more and more powerful attacks. Pyongyang, Incheon, Pusan and other major North Korean cities, as well as various towns and counties, and even Seoul were attacked.

On the contrary, the army's suppression of the Koreans became stronger and stronger, but it caused more and more resistance from the Koreans. The army in North Korea is caught in a bad cycle. Hidden arrows and poison are everywhere, and no one knows which time the confiscated grain was poisoned. Even going to the countryside to collect grain requires the strength of a squadron, although a small squad is rarely completely annihilated, but it always suffers heavy casualties. More and more troops were pinned down in North Korea and used to clear the area. Slaughter is the quickest and most convenient way.

In contrast, the North Koreans suffered more casualties, and at this moment, Guangxu's requirements for all-round talents in the special forces were reflected. With the "agitation, support and help" of the special forces, the North Koreans turned a blind eye to the immediate casualties.

On May 25, the twentieth year of Guangxu, the first division of the Great Fresh Army swore to go on the expedition.

It was not yet dawn that day, and before the horn of getting up, the officers and men of the Fengtai battalion got up early. I packed my simple clothes, packed my marching backpack, carried my spear, and hurried to the cafeteria for breakfast. It was a hearty breakfast, rice, eggs and meat, and everyone had a quiet and quick meal, because it was the last time before the expedition, and there was no limit, and each of them had to prepare as much nutrition as possible for their bodies. After the expedition, they only had two steamed buns and a meatloaf for each meal.

On the school review stand, Guangxu, who was dressed in a dragon robe, sat on the stairs by the platform, patted the position next to him, and said to Li Hongzhang, who was wearing an official uniform: "Sit down, are you tired from sleeping all night?" ”

Li Hongzhang sat on a step down, and he didn't dare to sit as high as the emperor: "The emperor has worked hard, how dare Weichen say that he is tired." ”

Guangxu just smiled, pointed to the busy soldiers in the Fengtai camp and asked, "Do you know what these are?" ”

"This is the most elite soldier of the Qing Dynasty."

"No, you're wrong. This is ......" Guangxu said calmly: "Hope." ”

Guangxu took out a melodica from his bosom, which was the only instrument he could use in his previous life. It was this instrument that helped him catch up with his girlfriend in college. The current melodica was a private gift from the German Minister Barland. Guangxu is just a person who is in an irritable mood, locking himself alone in the imperial study and gently moaning. To relieve the irritability in his heart, he has never blown it in front of others, not even Kou Liancai. Guangxu gently wiped the melodica and put it in his mouth, and a low piece of music came out of the melodica.

Quiet mornings and camps, the sound can be heard far away. Where did the tune come from? People who heard the sound of the song looked around. The person on the school review stand turned out to be the emperor.

"Hurry up and report to the commanders, and the soldiers who have finished their meals will immediately assemble at the school grounds."

At the end of the song, Guangxu put down the melodica and said with a smile: "Li Hongdan, this is the first time I have played a song in front of others, and if you don't play well, you are not allowed to laugh." ”

"This song is bright and bright, and the tone is frustrating. It makes people smell the feeling of always boiling blood. It's just the emperor, please forgive the minister. In the first half of this song, there seems to be some tragedy. ”

"How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain. Victory on the battlefield is based on the blood and lives of countless soldiers. Without tragic sacrifices, how can there be the glory of victory. ”

"Your Majesty, do you have any words for this song?"

"Yes, let me sing it."

You don't see it, the end of the Han army, the weak crown is a captive, please be long. You don't see, Ban Dingyuan, the peerless light cavalry urges the battle clouds! The boy should be in serious danger, how can he let the Confucian crown miss this life? The situation is that the country is in danger, and the feather is constantly fighting!

Abandon my old pen, follow me in wartime, call hundreds of thousands of brothers, sing war songs and join the army. Qi joined the army, cleaned the dust, and swore to sweep away the Japanese slaves!

The flag is fluttering, the horse is Xiao Xiao, the gun is on the shoulder and the knife is on the waist, and the blood is like a frenzy,

The flag is fluttering, the horse is Xiao Xiao, a good man, a good man, a good man, a good man serving the country in the present day.

Hurry up and don't be an old sick man, quickly unite Mo Yi and laugh at it, quickly rise up and don't be an old sick man, and unite Mo Yi and laugh at it.

The flag is fluttering, the horse is Xiao Xiao, the gun is on the shoulder and the knife is on the waist, and the blood is like a frenzy,

The flag is fluttering, the horse is Xiao Xiao, a good man, a good man, a good man serving the country in the present day,

The country is ruined and the family is ruined, and the whole battle is my compatriots, how can I not repay the hatred of the heavens, and the hatred of the enemy will not be eliminated if I do not destroy it,

The flag is fluttering, the horse is Xiao Xiao, the gun is on the shoulder and the knife is on the waist, and the blood is like a frenzy,

The flag is fluttering, the horse is Xiao Xiao, a good man, a good man, a good man serving the country in the present day.

The breeze blows the song and marks it everywhere.

"Abandon my old pen, and look at my wartime time. Good, good, good. Li Hongzhang, who said three good things in a row, stood up violently: "Weichen, please ask the emperor, is this song famous?" ”

Guangxu, who was about to say the name of the song from the army, looked at Li Hongzhang's excited expression and said, "Not yet." Why don't you give me a name? ”

Li Hongzhang, who was pacing back and forth, thought for a while: "Why don't you just call it 'Flag is Fluttering'?" ”

"Okay." Guangxu stood up: "It's called the flag is fluttering." ”

Guangxu only fell between words. "Report, Ouyang Zhenhua, commander of the First Division of the Great Fresh Army (Wang Shizhen, chief of staff of the General Staff Headquarters), has met the emperor." Under the stage, the standard military salute and the straight figure of the stand.

"Haha, the two of you are one step too late, and you missed the divine comedy sung by the emperor himself." Li Hongzhang stroked his beard and laughed loudly.

"Report to your lordship, we've been here for a long time. The divine comedy sung by the emperor has been listened to in full. Ouyang Zhenhua's feet snapped together again: "Please allow the emperor to use this song flag as a military song of the new army." ”

"Not really. The lyrics of this song are not good. Guangxu explained: "This song sounds good now, because I hit the door." According to the meaning of this word, if it weren't for someone else hitting the doorstep, the country would be in danger, and the country would not need people who served in the army? What does it mean to rise up quickly and unite quickly. Could it be that an army without war would not rise up and be united. It's good to sing it at ordinary times, but let's discuss the matter of military songs. ”

As time went on, more and more soldiers gathered on the school grounds. The 1st Division of the Great Fresh Army has a full strength of 12,307 people, and it has now been assembled in the school field. More than 10,000 officers and men of the First Division wore large-brimmed hats and summer yellow khaki uniforms. Standing solemnly in the Fengtai camp.

I don't know when it started, but the wind became very strong, and the yellow sand rolled up the sky. As far as the eye could see, more than 10,000 new officers and men stood straight in the queue, not moving, letting the wind and sand blow on them. A solemn momentum rose. That kind of majesty and majesty made the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the Second Division who were watching from the side red. We are all fighting together, and we are no worse than them, so why is it the turn of the first division alone? On the spot, dozens of officers of the Second Division were ready to fight to the death. Let the 2nd Division also go with you......

The situation is treacherous, and there is tossing and turning in the cracks. Starting from the capital, whether it is the northeast or the south of the Yangtze River, how many painstaking operations have finally achieved results, and it is the brand-new army in front of us. The stormy rivers and mountains, the crumbling dynasties, the whole country is swaying in the sound of the cannon of the First Sino-Japanese War, and the only place that does not move is this army.

Stand on the command platform in the center of the field. At this time, Di Guangxu couldn't help but feel agitated. This is my new army, this is my army!

The sound of the military horn resounded through the barracks, the queue made way from the middle, and three healthy horses came out of it, with a straight military uniform on horseback, and Ouyang Zhenhua, who looked solemn, came to the command platform.

Ouyang Zhenhua, who was sitting on horseback, took out the saber with his right hand, placed it on his chest, and looked at Guangxu with blazing eyes: "All the officers and soldiers of the First Division of the Great Fresh Army have completed the whole army, please give instructions to the emperor!" ”

Guangxu stretched out his hand. Qi Yide opened the package he had been holding in his hand and handed over a stack of square red flags to Guangxu. Leng Jun brought a flagpole, Guangxu put the red flag on the flagpole, took the flagpole and shook it violently. The eyes of the entire Fengtai battalion were focused on the fluttering red flag.

White clouds drifted above the red flag, blue waves seemed to be surging below, and the towering mountains in the red flag were still tall. A golden-colored dragon raised its noble head above the left of the red flag, and the dragon groan that spat out its open mouth seemed to still echo for nine days. The golden body of the dragon shuttles through the mountains and clouds. The left front paw that stretched out forward seemed to destroy all obstacles, and the pointed dragon claws on the five claws seemed to be shining. There is also a slightly larger pentagram in the upper left corner of the red flag, surrounded by four smaller pentagrams.

Five-clawed golden dragon! Everyone held their breath and looked at the fluttering dragon flag.

In the wind, the five-star dragon flag hunted.

"Ouyang Zhenhua." Guangxu shouted loudly.

"Here." Ouyang Zhenhua turned over and dismounted.

"Pick up the flag."

Dragons occupy the highest position in China's 5,000-year history. He is the totem of a nation, and the only one that can only be used by emperors of previous generations. Now, the dragon flag that the emperor can only use is going to be handed over to him, how can Ouyang Zhen not hesitate. Historically, people who have used dragons as markers have either ended up becoming emperors or their entire families have perished.

Guangxu saw the hesitation in Ouyang Zhenhua's eyes, Guangxu stepped forward and said loudly to Ouyang Zhenhua: "You are the Qing Imperial Army, and every action you take represents the will of the Qing Emperor. You have the right and the obligation to make the emperor's special logo - the five-star dragon flag. Guangxu handed over the dragon flag to Ouyang Zhenhua: "Take this flag, you are the sword in my hand." The sword is unsheathed, invincible. ”

Ouyang Zhenhua took the five-star dragon flag from Guangxu's hand and said loudly: "The sword is out of the sheath, invincible. ”

"The sword is unsheathed, invincible." "The sword is unsheathed, invincible." The officers and men of the 1st Division were screaming from each other.

"Set off and march towards enemy artillery fire. Remember your mission, remember your glory. Remember, don't lose my face, don't lose the arrogance of the dragon, don't lose the indomitable spirit of China. ”

"I command. The First Division of the Imperial Army of the Great Qing Dynasty set off. ”

Standing on the review stand, looking at Li Hongzhang, who was sworn out by the first division of the Great Qing Army, he couldn't help but shudder at this moment, is this emperor and the army in front of him still the emperor and army of our Qing Dynasty?

The mighty torrent, under the guidance of the five-star dragon flag, lined up in a neat queue, rolled forward......

You don't see it, the end of the Han army, the weak crown is a captive, please be long. You don't see, Ban Dingyuan, the peerless light cavalry urges the battle clouds! The boy should be in serious danger, how can he let the Confucian crown miss this life? The situation is that the country is in danger, and the feather is constantly fighting!

Abandon my old pen, follow me in wartime, call hundreds of thousands of brothers, sing war songs and join the army. Qi joined the army, cleaned the dust, and swore to sweep away the Japanese slaves!

……

Guangxu stood on the review stand and saw off the first division with a song "The flag is fluttering". (To be continued.) )
