Chapter 281: Those who offend my Chinese will be punished
The 4th Brigade has been completely wiped out, and Mitsu Suzuki, who is the brigade commander, naturally did not run.
This is the first time Liu Lang has seen Suzuki Mitsu, and it is also the last.
The major general of the Japanese Kwantung Army, whose hair was already a little gray, was not blown up into a fragrant barbecue like the soldiers under his command.
ALTHOUGH THERE WERE ONLY MORE THAN 2,000 REMNANTS OF THE ARMY UNDER HIS COMMAND, THE MAJOR GENERAL OF THE KWANTUNG ARMY WAS STILL ENTITLED TO STAY IN THE UNDERGROUND BRIGADE HEADQUARTERS THAT THE ENGINEERS HAD SPENT HOURS DIGGING UP, AND THE TOP OF THE BRIGADE HEADQUARTERS COVERED WITH WOOD AND THICK SOIL WAS ENOUGH TO WITHSTAND THE ATTACK OF 75MM MOUNTAIN ARTILLERY SHELLS.
However, the Japanese major general still died.
Kneeling on a white cloth, his somewhat distorted old face showed the great pain he had suffered before he died. The abdomen is cut open in a cross shape, and the internal organs burst and flow, and the final cause of death is the pain of seppuku suicide due to excessive bleeding, which is really not something that ordinary people can bear.
I am afraid that only this kind of Japanese people who have been educated to be loyal to the emperor and perverted will choose this extremely inhumane way of death.
Of course, Liu Lang will not care about which way Suzuki Meitong chooses to die. The Japanese major general he killed was not the first, and it will never be the last, Liu Lang is now concerned about whether he can break out of character, and it is completely possible to "pick up" a Japanese military flag, although it is difficult.
The Japanese military flag is not the most common sun flag, but the rising sun flag, which is based on the sun flag with 16 red rays of light. Except for the Japanese, many people don't understand why the 16 rays of light? This is the sixteenth number taken from the 16-petal chrysanthemum emblem of the Japanese imperial family. In 1870, it was established in the form of a decree called the "Proclamation of the Imperial Governor", and its official name was "Army Imperial Flag". The flag is adorned with purple tassels on three sides, and the wooden flagpole is topped by a large three-sided gilded crown with the 16-petal chrysanthemum emblem of the Japanese Imperial Family on three sides.
In the Japanese army, the Rising Sun Flag was nothing more than the symbol of the army and navy, and the real supremacy was the wing flag of the army. The wing is equivalent to the regimental size and is the largest combat unit in a single branch of the Japanese army. The wing flag is the military flag of the wing.
The flag was awarded by the Emperor himself, and the imperial chrysanthemum emblem on the crown of the flag indicated that the Emperor had personally marched to the Imperial Palace. Each wing has only one flag because of its exalted status. In normal times, the wing flag is kept in the wing commander's room, and the wing commander himself keeps it. If the wing commander is not there, it will be kept by the captain on duty. As long as you go outside, you must have guards to protect you. The flag bearer of the wing flag is usually the best second lieutenant officer in the wing, and there is a special flag guard squadron in the wing to defend the flag. The status of the wing flag is transcendent, and anyone, even a general, must stand up and salute when he sees the wing flag. In addition to being a sacred relic from the emperor and the honor of the troops, if it is lost or captured by the enemy in battle, it will be regarded as a great shame for the entire unit. What's more, if the wing flag is lost, the wing formation will be revoked.
You know, in the past time and space, throughout World War II, the Japanese army was wiped out by millions of troops, but the United Flag allies never captured a single one. Before knowing that the whole army was about to be annihilated, the Japanese commander would "burn" the flag of his wing, preferring to be burned rather than captured.
The so-called "burning" is not to burn the fire, but to have a strict ritual procedure, first by the flag holding the flag under the escort of the flag guard, all the officers and soldiers salute the flag of the wing; Then the flag bearer rolls up the wing flag and hands it to the commander of the unit, and then the commander of the unit puts the flag into the burning platform, and all the officers and soldiers salute the flag of the unit; Finally, the commander of the unit personally lit the fire, and all the officers and men saluted the wing flag until the wing flag was completely burned.
On the Chinese battlefield in the past time and space, there were a total of three wings that "burned" the wing flag before the final jade shattered. The failure to capture the flag has always been regretted by the Chinese army, which annihilated its opponents.
Although the 4th Brigade, a special unit composed of infantry artillery brigades in the Japanese army, may not have a wing flag, it will definitely have a military flag, and it is definitely a matter of inspiring the hearts of the whole country to capture a brigade and regiment-level military flag.
Obviously, Liu Lang was still disappointed.
After sending a telegram to the division that "all members of the 4th Brigade are in pieces," Mitsu Suzuki ordered the 4th Brigade flag to be burned, and the so-called "bong burning" was naturally impossible to carry out in the midst of the artillery fire, and the 4th Brigade regiment's flag was thrown directly into the fortifications and timber that had been ignited by the artillery fire, and turned into ashes along with the simple wood.
The Japanese positions that had been plowed by artillery fire several times were basically not captured, and everything that could be destroyed was basically destroyed, and only the more than 700 Japanese corpses that fell on the charging road were still worth using, and those naturally became trophies under Tang Yongming's command.
The body of Gu Yi Yi, chief of staff of the 4th Brigade, was also found, and the dead body that had lost half of its head was carried over, and the three red bars and three silver stars on the shoulders of the corpse proved the identity of the Japanese army.
He didn't have the courage to commit seppuku by Mitsu Suzuki, or Gu Yiichi, who was not in the brigade headquarters, was lucky that the Japanese soldier Osa, who had half of his head cut off by a piece of shrapnel, did not have to suffer the great pain of seppuku suicide.
By the time they could be found, all the bodies of Japanese adjutants and above had been found and placed in northern China, a land that had been ravaged by the war.
Liu Lang ordered Ji Yanxue, the person in charge of the communication platoon, in a loud voice: "Send a telegram to the Beiping Military Commission, the headquarters of the Second National Division, and the military headquarters of the 29th Army, the Independent Regiment of the Second Division of the National Revolutionary Army and the 288th Regiment and the 289th Regiment of the Second Division of the 29th Army, at 8 o'clock in the morning of March 16, 22 of the Republic of China, completely annihilated all the 4th Brigade of the 8th Division of the Kwantung Army, and the 3rd Artillery Brigade of the 1st Artillery Brigade of the 8th Artillery Wing, totaling more than 9,300 people. ”
Everyone standing on the battlefield cheered the moment they heard Liu Lang's order.
Including Tang Yongming, Chi Dakui, and Yu Xiancheng, whether he was a lieutenant colonel, a major or an ordinary soldier, they all cheered the moment they heard Liu Lang announce the total annihilation of the 4th Brigade.
The cheers spread from the main position of the Japanese army to 800 meters away, and the sound of more than 3,000 men cheering loudly resounded in the sky, and spread to the ancient mountain six miles away, and the 200 people who had been standing still and suffering were shocked by the huge cheers that broke into it, and they also understood the reason, and more than 200 people stood on the hilltop position and joined the cheering queue.
The huge sound also reached the Luo Wenyu Pass, and the soldiers on the entire defense line, but a few hundred people, also jumped out of the position and shouted.
There is no doubt that this is a victory, a great victory, a great victory that belongs not only to all the officers and men present, but also to the Chinese nation.
The record of annihilating 9,000 enemies in World War I will make the names of everyone involved in this battle engraved on the monument in the hearts of future generations of the Chinese nation. The soldiers who did not seek to leave a name in history, but only sought to earn a living land for future generations, did the first step of their dreams, and they used the blood of the invaders to stain the ancient Great Wall built by their ancestors to defend against foreign enemies, and used it to tell the invaders that those who offend our China will be punished.
