Lv Muzhi

However, the battle surrounding the regimental flag had not yet ended; Lv Ziqing warned everyone to proceed with caution.

Looking back to the past, at the Berlin Military Academy, Zhou Weiguo and Zhu Xia Jun were classmates and 'friends' in the Special Operations Department, while Lv Ziqing was a junior one year below them; however, Zhou Weiguo was later transferred by Lv Muzhi to the Armored Warfare Department, leaving only Zhu Xia Jun and Lv Ziqing as the two Easterners in the Special Operations Department.

Regarding Zhu Xia Jun's methods, Lv Ziqing was aware of them; even under dim conditions, he still precisely identified the enemy commander as Zhu Xia Jun!

Unexpectedly, this fellow actually came to the Songhu Battlefield! Before graduation, Zhou Weiguo had warned Zhu Xia Jun not to set foot in Xia Guo.

"Report to the Company Commander, that Japanese leader just now has already run away, and I don't know what's going on; clearly I was watching him, but just couldn't find him." The deputy company commander shook his head in annoyance: "By the way, there's also this!"

After speaking, the deputy company commander took out the booby trap buried by Zhu Xia Jun's troops in the ground.

Lv Ziqing took the booby trap: "Heh, this is indeed his habit; just now someone else blocked a bullet for him, and we lost our best chance to eliminate him; this isn't your fault, this brat still wanted to bury a booby trap to scheme against me, fortunately you are all people I brought up myself!

As the saying goes, enemies meet on a narrow road; we and them will sooner or later meet again; next time he won't be so lucky!"

Right now Lv Ziqing was not in a hurry to pursue; first, Zhu Xia Jun's military quality was very high, having failed once, it would be very difficult to pursue Zhu Xia Jun again; second, his most important task was to bring the regimental flag back, this was personally designated by the President, he had to win glory for his uncle Lv Muzhi!

"Go, let's hurry and take the regimental flag back; we're counting on this regimental flag to put eye drops on the little devils!" Lv Ziqing reminded.

"Lu Company Commander, a large group of devils are flanking over in a dense mass! About five hundred or more!" A Yue Army company commander reminded.

Guangxi Army company commander Chen Kairong stepped forward: "Lu Company Commander, you, you all retreat first; we will block the little devils' pursuers!"

"I heard the officer say this thing is called a regimental flag, it's the little devils' lifeline; we snatched the little devils' lifeline, we absolutely cannot easily hand it over!" The Yue Army company commander also proposed.

Lv Ziqing thought for a moment, and shouted: "Firepower Platoon!"

"Present!" The platoon leader of the Firepower Platoon trotted over.

"Leave your Firepower Platoon's machine guns and mortars behind to help! Reconnaissance Platoon 1 also stay behind to help with guard duty!"

"Yes!"

Lv Ziqing also had several reconnaissance soldiers go find and contact other nearby friendly infantry companies to come support, especially the Youth Army's infantry companies; after all, inside Yangxing Town, besides six infantry regiments, the Chu Yunfei Brigade had also stuffed in two infantry battalions, searching around they could still find helpers.

After speaking, Lv Ziqing had his subordinates leave behind most automatic weapons and heavy firepower; he himself led a small force, carrying the Sixth Regiment's regimental flag, taking advantage of the night to withdraw from Yangxing Town with light equipment.

From deep night until dawn, around the location where the devil regimental flag fell, both Chinese and Japanese sides launched a mixed battle.

The scale could not be considered too large; both sides combined were about a thousand or so people; because the various troops in Yangxing Town were mutually divided, encirclement and counter-encirclement proceeded simultaneously.

The forces able to reach the location where the regimental flag fell to participate in the battle were roughly equal; waiting until dawn, the little devils could not attack anymore, and could only report layer by layer that the regimental flag had been lost, continuing to face off against the Xia State Army.

Lv Ziqing and the others carried the regimental flag, retreating all the way back along the original route.

Inside the Yangxing Town Underground Command Post, a joyful atmosphere pervaded.

A group of high officials circled around the devil's regimental flag, pointing and discussing the Sixth Regiment's regimental flag.

"Infantry Sixth Regiment!" Hu Gongnan read aloud the small line of text in the corner of the regimental flag.

"Hahaha, this little devil, even his regimental flag has been captured by us; I heard this regimental flag was bestowed by the Wang Jingwei Regime's Tianhuang!"

Gu Zhutong also said: "I heard the only time the devils lost a regimental flag was when their Army General Nogi Maresuke served as regimental commander; that was sixty years ago; in the end Nogi Maresuke went mad, before he snatched the regimental flag back;

This time, the regimental flag has fallen into the hands of our Xia State Army; the little devils can forget about snatching it back!"

"Right, right, and most importantly, the merit of capturing the little devils' regimental flag this time is the result of the President personally commanding!" Hu Gongnan hurriedly inserted himself to say.

Gu Zhutong saw that Hu Gongnan was so eloquent, so he also hurried to say: "Surveying world military history, the supreme commander of the three armed forces personally commanding an infantry company; I am shallow in knowledge and have found no precedent, yet the President achieved it; military orders from the three armed forces down to the infantry company, obeying like fingers and arms, and successfully achieved the battle case of capturing the devil's regimental flag!"

"Yes, yes, Official Gu is right; I Hu Gongnan have never seen a supreme commander who could micro-manage down to a company-level unit!"

The President looked at the little devils' regimental flag; hearing Gu Zhutong and Hu Gongnan's string of praise, although he felt it was somewhat exaggerated, he was still delighted in his heart.

"You all shouldn't say that; this is the result of the frontline soldiers using their lives; Ziqing ah~" The President called out to Lv Ziqing standing outside the door.

Everyone standing in the room were officers of Major General and above; Lv Ziqing, a small company commander, had long been squeezed out to the door.

Hearing someone call him, Lv Ziqing poked his head out from outside the door.

Lv Muzhi waved his hand: "Lv Ziqing! The President is calling you, hurry in!"

Lv Ziqing was then able to enter the command headquarters.

The President patted Lv Muzhi's shoulder with his left hand and Lv Ziqing's shoulder with his right hand, laughing happily: "Truly uncle and nephew fighting in battle together! Today I also served as an infantry company commander once, and felt a sense of returning to my youth; very good, you always give me surprises!"

Lv Muzhi stood at attention: "Ai ai, not allowed; if the President became a company commander, the students would have no place to hide; then Official Gu would be deputy company commander, us students would be platoon leaders; my foolish nephew Lv Ziqing wouldn't even count as a squad leader!"

The officers in the command post burst into laughter; Gu Zhutong said: "Weiyue is right; we are forever the President's subordinates!"

Lv Muzhi patted Lv Ziqing's hand back; Lv Ziqing immediately said: "Right, Ziqing is also the President's soldier!"

"Good!" The President got excited: "Camera, bring the camera!"

The President held the little devils' regimental flag: "The chrysanthemum emblem on top of the flagpole symbolizes the Wang Jingwei Regime's Tianhuang; heh heh!"

The President chuckled lightly, one hand on his waist, one hand holding the chrysanthemum emblem on top of the flagpole: "Everything of the Japanese slaves is within my grasp!"

The military correspondent holding the camera just walked in; click~ click! Captured the scene of the President pinching the little devils' regimental flag.
