Chapter 209 The Military Flag of Nanjing Defense War

On the narrow front, concentrating on the use of armored forces to carry out assault operations under specific circumstances, how can it have such brilliant results? This was not expected by the senior commanders of the provisional first mechanizer who had been deduced dozens of times on the sand table before. The victory was expected, but the price paid was so small that it was far beyond everyone's expectation.

Hao Wenbin looked at the thousands of abandoned corpses of the Japanese army and sighed: "If we can control the air s, then the tactics such as concentrating a large number of artillery fire to bombard the enemy's defense line, using armored forces to carry out targeted assault to divide the enemy's main force, or attacking the enemy's rear will become impossible.

Ye Yunfei looked at the troops that were still concentrated and said with a headache: "Now all battalions and companies call for bicycles to gather. Some vehicles chase military trucks for more than ten kilometers. Now there is no oil to break down on the way, waiting for hounds to rescue. Although our troops are well-trained, they really lack actual combat experience. We also released the sheep after the collapse. Now I'm afraid it's difficult for the troops to assemble in less than three hours.

Hao Wenbin looked at Chen Yuxing unhappily, which means that what do you, the brigade commander, eat? The troops have released sheep. If the Japanese army has a chariot force to counterattack at this moment, the jackal surname can also be excellent and light tanks. If the tactics of the five Japanese army's Type 95 light tanks are used properly, they can also destroy the jackal light tanks, and their own tanks are scattered, and the logistics supply convoys that arrive in the war zone. For example, oil trucks, ammunition trucks, etc. are directly exposed to the counterattacking enemy. If the logistics supply is destroyed, in the true sense of the temporary first mechanized division, it is also the only mechanized brigade that will be completely destroyed. This is not alarming at all. After all, this is not a highway of later generations, and there are dozens of kilometers. A gas station and maintenance center.

Moreover, the armored forces will also face the threat of air strikes by Japanese military aircraft at any time. On the way, jackal light tanks, hound armored vehicles and semi-track multi-functional vehicles need at least one supply. If they are found by the Japanese army, even if they suffer heavy losses from bombing, they will still send all the disabled. The existing aircraft launched an air strike on the mechanized brigade and killed the elite of the Nanjing Central Political Axe Army in China.

After all, the results of the early morning air raid on the military's Hongkou field airport have not been specifically confirmed, so it is also in danger under the glory of the victory.

At this moment, Li Yunfeng, with a serious expression, ran over with a pile of almost burnt thick leather notebooks and said, "Master! It has been confirmed that before our army destroyed the Japanese military radio station, the Japanese army had sent out the telegram of the attack, and it was said that I used a clear code method, and they burned the password book! Also burned with the flag of its 47th Infantry Regiment and a batch of confidential pieces.

As a result, Ye Yunfei burned a few pieces of nail-covered the remnants of the so-called military flag of the Japanese army coalition, saying helplessly: "What did you think my military flag look like? I didn't expect it to be so exquisitely framed? The assault speed of our army has been very fast, but it is still a pity that my general flag was destroyed!"

Qiu Qingquan said very seriously: "I also met Japanese international students when I was studying in Germany. As far as I know, since January 23, 1874, the Meiji Emperor gave the military flags to the first and second regiments of the guard infantry as the beginning. Since then, all the newly formed infantry and cavalry regiments of the army must be the same day. The emperor personally awarded the military flag, taking the military flag as the core of the unity of the army, and the military flag represents the highest honor of the emperor. Only the infantry and cavalry regiments of the Japanese army have military flags, and the military flags are awarded by the emperor himself. Because they are only owned by the established infantry regiments and cavalry regiments, they are also called the regimental flags. According to the regulations of the army, if the military flag is there, it will be organized, and if the military flag is lost, it will be sanctioned. Therefore, the military flag is a very important thing inside the Japanese army. It is necessary to select the best second lieutenant or lieutenant officer of the wing as the flag guard, and set up a special flag guard squadron to protect its safety. Because the military army's combat regulations stipulate that when it is judged that the whole army is in danger of being destroyed, the military flag should be burned, so no matter what kind of defeat is encountered, the Japanese army has the time to burn the military flag calmly, so it is very difficult to capture the military flag of the Japanese army.

Chen Yuxing nodded and said, "I heard from the commander that after burning the military flag, I usually destroy or hide the flagpole. There are 16 blood-red light lines in the center of the flag pattern of the army, also known as the Xu flag. The three sides of the army flag are decorated with purple tassels and wooden roasting. On the top of the lacquered flagpole, there is a trihedron gilded flag crown, all of which are the sixteen petals ** relief emblem of the emperor's family. The military flag is hung in the center of the tassel, embroidered with the number of the Japanese army, and it is also equipped with a pure copper moisture-proof flag cover. This military flag is not easily taken out, and it is only used in general celebrations. The flagpole and tassels form the so-called victory instead of use.

Hao Wenbin nodded and said, "It's okay if you don't capture it. You don't have to ask for something. It's really worth celebrating to give the attack on the annihilation of the 11th Brigade of the Japanese infantry. Inform the troops to immediately clean up the battlefield and replenish the oil and ammunition as soon as possible, and prepare to reinforce the Fifth Brigade of Bai Qingshan. The Fifth Brigade blocked the pre-established position on the horse farm. The avant-garde troops of the 18th Division of the Japanese army invaded in three ways. It would be too boring for our army not to annihilate two of them.

Hao Wenbin looked at the infantry who kept shooting the remnants of the Japanese army on the battlefield. This is the experience summarized by the Rehe Legion with blood. After the Battle of Chengde, many soldiers were used to using bayonets to solve the wounded soldiers or prisoners of the Japanese army, but some of the Japanese army with hidden grenades would cause some very bad things to the Chinese soldiers who cleaned the battlefield. Necessary casualties, so the Rehe Legion stipulated that when cleaning the battlefield, they should try to use guns to shoot the Japanese army, or judge it as pretending to be dead.

The ten detachments sent by the military police battalion of the division are still trying to search for the flag of the 13th wing of the Japanese infantry that has been completely annihirated. Although Hao Wenbin doesn't care much in words, in fact, he is the person he cares about the most, because since the Battle of Rehe, Zhang Xuewu has always muttered that the flag of the army has been captured. Is the flag of the Japanese army coalition regarded as the highest honor?

Hao Wenbin was very puzzled about this. This time, after listening to Ye Yunfei, Chen Yuxing, Hao Wenbin, Li Yunfeng and others, he realized that the small Japanese military flag was so famous in it.

Before, Hao Wenbin was not particularly optimistic about Zhang Xuewu, because of Zhang Xueliang's playboy young master's prodigal performance, how can his cousin be better? As a result, his trip to Europe made him feel a lot. The ambassador-level treatment, the eye-catching oil and water, and the mark of the faction of Zhang Xuewu's Rehe Legion on him made him only follow Zhang Xuewu with all his heart. Otherwise, Zhang Xuewu would overturn, and Hao Wenbin would also drown.

Hao Wenbin knew that even there were people inside the Rehe Legion who felt uncomfortable, so Zhang Xuewu sent him to Nanjing to defend him this time. He was also grateful, because he, the nominal deputy corps commander, needed prestige and performance at this moment. It can be said that Hao Wenbin is the biggest wing flag to capture the Japanese army. Wish. A wish.

War is a big gamble for several families to be happy and worried, but the chips here have been replaced with life and blood. When the clear telegram of the 11th Infantry Regiment of the 6th Division and the two subordinate infantry regiments were received by the division headquarters and the newly established Central Branch Dispatch Army, Gu Shoufu was immediately stunned!

In Shanghai, Matsui Ishigen and King Hatohiko of the Asamiya shouted that this was absolutely impossible. While the four reconnaissance aircraft immediately went to scout, the radio stations of the two front army agencies of the Shanghai Dispatch Army and the Central Branch Dispatch Army were still to call the 11th Brigade of the infantry and the 47th Infantry 13th Joint Synchronous.

For a while, the staff of the Central Branch Dispatch Army, which had not yet been fully assembled, was in place. Since the Meiji Restoration, the Imperial Army has not yet seen any cases of the total annihalation of linkage-level troops? Even the battle between Lushun and Chengde, which fought the sea of corpses, has never happened.

And what Matsui Ishigen and King Hatohiko of Asamiya are most worried about is not the life and death of 8,000 officers and soldiers, but whether the flags of the two divisions of the 47th Regiment of the 13th Joint Synchronary Regiment of the Infantry were burned in time! Because since a clear telegram was sent in panic, it proves that it was a surprise attack? Everything can happen on the unpredictable battlefield.

If the military flag is lost, not only will the number of the branch be revoked, but the whole imperial army will suffer a great shame.

After discussion between King Hatohiko and Matsui Ishigen, he decided to immediately send all the warplanes of the navy and all the fighters that could still take up at the Hongkou Field Airport to assist the 11th Infantry Regiment of the 6th Division, and ordered the 18th Division and the 16th Division to immediately want to get closer, and the main force of the 6th Division quickly reinforce the infantry. The 11th Brigade must ensure that the military flag is burned. If it is taken away by the enemy, it should be taken back at all costs.

For the tactical arrangement of King Hatohiko of Chaoxiang Palace and Shigen Matsui, Ishihara Guaner, who stood aside, sighed helplessly and left. According to the previous intelligence, at least one chariot unit and heavy artillery force of the Rehe Legion entered Nanjing and joined the city defense force. Tang Shengzhi, Ishihara Guaner was still What I know is that because Tang Shengzhi was appointed as the commander of the city defense, the staff headquarters and the dispatching army judged that the will to resist Nanjing was not resolute and thorough, and it was probably just a show.

Tang Sheng intelligently commanded the Huangpu general of the Nanjing Political Axe Central Army? This is obviously impossible, and this beautiful attack tactic is matched with the previous air attack, which is obviously part of a premeditated series of tactical actions! Can an old general like Tang Shengzhi have such a high synthetic combat command literacy? Obviously impossible!

So who will be the garrison commander of Nanjing?
