"Chengzang-kun, take out the wing flag." Okazaki Shoichi, who pulled out Xueliang's command knife, silently stared at the afterglow of the blade in his hand, and said in a low voice.

"Hey!" With a solemn expression, the flag guard officer of the cavalry wing beside Okazaki took out a black bag from his backpack and stacked it neatly, but it was obviously very worn and even a little tattered.

According to the regulations of the Japanese Army, each infantry wing and cavalry wing was eligible to be awarded the wing flag by the emperor himself. As a cavalry wing directly under the Standing Division, the 28th Cavalry Wing also has its own wing flag.

Don't underestimate the tattered flag of the 28th Cavalry Wing, the more broken the flag is, the more often it is used, the more battles it fights, and it is also a symbol of their army spirit.

Seeing that the wing flag was taken out, the cavalry squad, whether the second lieutenant or the soldiers, who were waiting in the temporary field fortifications, all stood up solemnly and focused their eyes on the somewhat silent wing commander.

When the Japanese army took out the wing flag the most, it was mostly used when the attack was frustrated, and the wing flag was hung out to guide the soldiers to re-attack, which was the most commonly used means of boosting morale in the Japanese army.

They all thought that the wing commander took out the wing flag to fight a decisive battle between the imperial cavalry who were still fighting on both flanks and the cunning Chinese, and these 30 men would be the last force of the 28th Cavalry Wing on the front line.

Although the Chinese used traps to trap two squadrons of the Near Wing plus a squad of more than 200 people, the 28th Cavalry Wing still had more than 100 troops and could still fight to the death with the Chinese.

I have to say that the Japanese army's will to fight is really tenacious.

On the positions on both flanks, the two infantry companies of the 772nd Regiment were condescending and fierce, and even had two mortars to help, and the Japanese troops with a total of 60 people on each side and a total of 120 people were held back and unable to retreat.

On the main position, the rumbling of artillery rang out one after another, and the main forces of the two cavalry squadrons suffered under artillery fire, and if nothing else, no more than one-tenth of them could survive.

In the face of the shells, the gods and Buddhas are fair, and none of the Chinese and Japanese soldiers are invulnerable, they are all flesh and blood, and they can survive all by luck. All the so-called strength, in the face of the surging energy of howitzers, are flying ashes.

That's it, this last cavalry squad didn't even despair, and even thought about counterattacking after merging with the forces of the two wings.

The strength of the standing divisions of the Japanese army in the early days of the war can be seen.

However, the performance of their co-captain surprised them.

"Cheng Zangjun, the joint flag will be "burned". Shoichi Okazaki, who had been hanging his head and looking at the tip of his sword, suddenly roared in the rumble of the cannon.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander." The lieutenant flag guard officer was shocked.

The so-called burning of the military flag means that the military flag is burned. This is often the last resort when the wing faces a major crisis and it is almost impossible to survive. Even if the wing was completely destroyed, the flag of the wing that the emperor had personally awarded would not fall into the hands of the enemy. There is also an unwritten rule in the Japanese Army that a completely destroyed wing can keep its number and be rebuilt, but a wing whose flag is captured by the enemy will be permanently revoked.

However, has it now come to the time for the whole team to live and die? Neither the flag officer nor the 30 Japanese cavalrymen could not be understood.

There is also a cavalry squadron behind him, and there is a half-cavalry squadron on both wings plus here, almost half of the strength of the cavalry wing, and it is not possible to safely withdraw from the front of the Chinese's position?

"Baga, can't you still guess that the Chinese army in front of you is the Chinese army?" Okazaki roared.

"With so many mountain guns and a large number of mortars equipped, and with the accuracy with which the soldiers fired, and above all, the audacity and cunning of their commanders, who first provoked our anger by hanging the corpses of the Imperial warriors, then resisted step by step to surrender their positions, and finally bombarded them with superior artillery fire, and were so bold as to return behind our Wing despite the infantry dispatched, and not even the 77th Wing, which was only ten miles away, shows that their commanders were fully confident that they would be able to break through our defenses within 20 minutes. Who could such a Chinese unit and commander be, you say? Okazaki looked at the top of the mountain that was still being bombed, and his eyes showed sadness and gloom.

If he had thought that such a tragic scene would never have occurred, the 200 Imperial cavalry would have been shattered by artillery bombardment, not to mention the entire 28th Cavalry Wing.

If time could come back, he would definitely flee as soon as possible with all the officers and men of the cavalry wing. The Chinese troops stationed here are definitely that man and the regiment he leads.

"Your Excellency, do you mean Colonel Beast of China?" The cavalry squad leader on one side had fear in his eyes.

He finally understood why the captain was burning the flag in a hurry. That's the peerless murderer who defeated a full permanent division of the empire to the end of only two infantry brigades!

The 8th Division, which had been rebuilt on two infantry battalions, had not yet recovered and was ordered to garrison the island.

Liu Lang led the independent regiment in the battle of the Great Wall to fight the murderous name of the beast colonel, which is still enough in the eyes of the Japanese garrisons in the northeast. Compared to the fact that he froze alive under the Great Wall and killed thousands of wounded soldiers of the Eighth Division, isn't this the same as drinking boiled water to kill hundreds of them?

Strong, all by fists rather than lips.

"Yes, apart from them, I really can't think of another Chinese force with such strength. Today, I finally know how the 8th Division was defeated. Colonel Beast deserves to be Colonel Beast! Okazaki Shoichi let out a long sigh and continued to order: "Seizo-kun, after burning the flag of the wing, you and the 9th Cavalry Squad rushed to Asada Shozo and told him that His Excellency, the commander of the power generation division, should report all the situation here truthfully, and then the whole army must break through and fight with the Chinese." ”

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, you 。。。。。。"

"I will fight with the Chinese here with the warriors to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and even if the Chinese want to eat us in one bite, they will have to pay enough price."

"Bastard, execute the order at once." Seeing that the lieutenant beside him wanted to speak and stopped, Okazaki roared loudly.

"Hey!" The Japanese lieutenant could only put his legs together and bow his head to receive orders.

At the same time that the Japanese troops lined up in a row to carefully complete the procedure of "burning the military flag" and looked for a place to bury the metal flag crown with the emperor's chrysanthemum pattern family emblem, the third battalion of the 772nd regiment, under the leadership of deputy commander Wang, who was known as the "king madman", launched a stormy attack on the 100-man position of Asada Unzan.

Although Asada Yunshan was very cautious, he led the No. 100 cavalry to dismount and began to build temporary field fortifications with the individual sapper shovel he carried with him. However, the Taihang Mountain area is basically dominated by stone mountains, even in such a valley, the soil layer is not thick, and it is all stones if it is not dug deep. Not to mention the shovel of a single sapper, even if the iron pickaxe comes, it is not easy to use.

On the mountain range near Jiuguan, more than 3,000 people from the 772nd Regiment and the first battalion of the Independent Regiment worked tirelessly for four days and three nights, and blasted with explosives to dig a 1.7-meter-deep trench and the simplest tunnel behind the mountain.

The Japanese are not gods either, and it is already good to be able to dig them out for an hour to squat in and put up a simple bunker with the excavated soil.

Moreover, the most unfortunate thing is that Asada Yunshan did not expect that there would be Chinese who would be bold enough to detour seven or eight miles behind them, and the bunkers they built with earth were all facing the direction of the old pass, mainly preparing to pick up Okazaki Shoichi and them.

Suddenly, the Japanese soldiers who were attacked from behind, and the Japanese soldiers who changed their defensive direction were about to cry, and the trenches that were only sixty centimeters deep, they were squatting inside, and their chests were still exposed, so they could only lie on their stomachs, lying on their stomachs.

Because, the firepower of the Chinese is too wild.

The light and heavy machine guns carried by the third battalion of the 772nd regiment are not counted, and the first battalion of the independent regiment supports a fire platoon in the past, but it has two 60-caliber mortars plus 4 "Hitler chainsaws".

What did a "Hitler chainsaw" look like with plenty of ammunition at full fire?

The future general, the king, was dumbfounded.

The 200-round chain was all empty in 30 seconds, and it was the kind of long point shot that was released after two seconds when the trigger was pulled.

Yes, if you hold on to the trigger, the chain of 200 rounds will not be shot in more than 10 seconds, don't look at 5000 rounds is a lot, if the "Hitler chainsaw" shoots wildly, it can be emptied in 6 minutes, if you bring enough barrels to replace.

Rao is like this, the ferocious fire of 200 rounds of fire in 30 seconds also suppressed the fire of the Japanese light machine guns in the distance and could only counterattack sporadically.

That's really not at a level, the kung fu of shooting 20 bullets with a crutch, but here it is ten times as good as yours, who can stand it?

Anyway, the Japanese light machine gunners couldn't stand it. The pouring of bullets hit the mound of dirt in front of them with green smoke, and even the barrel of the machine gun was hit by the bullet, and the "clank" only sparks flew everywhere. At this time, the glory of the so-called imperial warriors could not support them to shoot at the Chinese.

Death, you can, but looking for death, Baga's, it's not good!
