Chapter 127: Old Li Gains Knowledge

Only after Yu Hua made contact with Division Commander Liu did he understand.

A portion of the 129th Division's ammunition had been given to the 115th Division.

Because the 115th Division needed a massive amount of ammunition to ambush the Japanese Supply Troops at Pingxingguan.

This resulted in the 129th Division losing more than half of its ammunition.

Therefore, in this Ambush, the 129th Division, having exhausted its ammunition, chose to engage the Japanese in hand-to-hand combat.

Seeing Yu Hua, Division Commander Liu walked up and said, "Company Commander Yu."

"The Hashimoto Detachment has stepped into your Ambush circle step by step this time."

Tonight, over six thousand men of the Hashimoto Detachment were wiped out.

The Regiment Commander of the 321st Infantry Regiment, Goto Shiro, could not bear to burn the Regimental Flag and secretly hid it away.

Everyone whispered, discussing this object.

Seeing Division Commander Liu praising him, Yu Hua scratched his head in embarrassment.

That the Hashimoto Detachment managed to burn the Regimental Flag in such a chaotic environment shows how much the Japanese soldiers value the Regimental Flag.

"Japanese Infantry Regiments all have Regimental Flags."

It is said to be half a flag, but in reality, only half a rope remained.

"You must think of your old brother often."

Li Yunlong let out a long sigh, "Sigh!"

He was just a young man who had just started out.

After reading the telegram sent by the Hashimoto Detachment, Kawakishi Bunzaburo was completely stunned.

Hearing this, Yu Hua said loudly, "Let's go take a look."

The 1st Battalion captured so much equipment, and the other battalions of the 772nd Regiment also had a great harvest.

This half-rope was hanging on a section of a burnt flagpole.

"Company Commander... Company Commander..."

After listening, Li Yunlong felt that he had truly gained knowledge this time.

Yu Hua grinned, "Alright!"

When World War II was about to end, the Japanese Imperial General Headquarters issued an order to burn the Regimental Flags.

After all, Division Commander Liu was a long-renowned veteran general.

"The more tattered a Japanese Regimental Flag is, the more it shows the long history of that regiment."

A brigade-sized force had actually been ambushed by the Sichuan Army, and now they were requesting tactical guidance from him.

"This combat effectiveness is naturally even stronger."

Looking at the remaining half-rope, Old Li could deduce what the original Regimental Flag looked like.

Because, throughout the entire World War II, the Allied forces wiped out millions of Japanese soldiers.

Now, Kawakishi Bunzaburo did not have many reinforcements on hand, so he had to send a telegram to the Army Aviation in Baozhou.

The Japanese troops have these kinds of particularities.

Ignoring perfectly good equipment to stare at this thing is definitely insane.

"Once the war situation goes poorly, this flag will be burned."

"Brother Yunlong, you might not know."

As for such a result!

Yu Hua felt unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

The sky was about to brighten, and the Japanese planes would likely arrive soon.

Looking at Old Li's mischievous smile, Yu Hua knew that Li Yunlong must have captured many good things tonight.

"Then, their designation will be cancelled, and they will be treated as having been wiped out by the enemy."

It probably looked like a tattered rag.

This Regimental Flag was half-burned, with only half left.

Yu Hua shook his head, "Impossible!"

He had experienced countless battles and captured countless Japanese Plaster Flags and the like.

"Brother Yu, is this thing the Regimental Flag?"

In Yu Hua's heart.

He ordered them to reinforce the Hashimoto Detachment immediately after dawn and provide fire support.

If Yu Hua hadn't specifically emphasized it earlier, Yang Jun really wouldn't have noticed.

After all, when cleaning up the battlefield, who the hell would observe half a rope and a piece of burnt flagpole?

"My goodness!" Old Li's gaze narrowed, "These Japanese really know how to play."

"This Regimental Flag is basically already burned."

"Next time there is an opportunity, I will look for you all."

Only equipment, the Japanese guns and artillery, would attract Old Li's attention.

Kawakishi Bunzaburo was woken up by his Adjutant.

"Brother Yu, we captured this half-rope; will the Japanese regiment have its designation revoked?"

"On the contrary, if the Japanese Regimental Flag is captured, it means that this regiment has not been annihilated."

"Division Commander Liu, I still have much to learn from you."

"What's wrong?"

At Niangziguan, Kawakishi Bunzaburo received the telegram from Hashimoto Ryuji.

"I actually thought we could get the devils to have their designation revoked this time."

"This Regimental Flag was personally bestowed by the Emperor of the devils."

He really wanted to capture a Regimental Flag of the devils.

It's just that the difficulty of capturing this thing is estimated to be very high.

"A single flag, and they even specially dispatch a Flag Guard Company to guard it."

"I found a burnt half, but I don't know if it's the kind of flag you're talking about."

When Yang Jun discovered the devils' Regimental Flag, he immediately ordered his soldiers to protect it, while he himself went to find Yu Hua.

It really isn't easy to capture a Regimental Flag.

What is the use of capturing this flag?

Seeing Li Yunlong say this, Yu Hua raised the corner of his mouth: "Brother Yunlong, you don't know."

However, this Regimental Flag was the only thing they just couldn't capture.

Yang Jun's shouting immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The only surviving Regimental Flag of the devils is currently stored in a museum of the devils.

"As long as the flag still exists, even if this regiment is wiped out, the regiment's designation remains."

"The devils call it 'scorched earth'."

Arriving at the place Yang Jun mentioned, Li Yunlong was the first to crowd forward.

He just wanted to see what the devils' Regimental Flag actually looked like.

"Company Commander, that flag you asked us to find."

A brilliant smile bloomed on Li Yunlong's cheeks.

Seeing Li Yunlong's strong reaction, Yu Hua smiled faintly: "Yes!"

After cleaning up the battlefield, the Sichuan Army and the 129th Division also quickly withdrew from Yixiantian.

The soldiers of the Sichuan Army and the Eighth Route Army looked at each other.

In this Ambush, the 1st Battalion under Li Yunlong really made a fortune.

It was simply sending equipment to the Eighth Route Army.

The soldiers cleaning the battlefield, seeing a squad of people protecting the burnt flagpole, also became interested.

When the Hashimoto Detachment encountered an attack at Huangya Village.

Yu Hua nodded: "The devils' Regimental Flag also has a Flag Guard Company protecting it."

This Regimental Flag was also the only one not burned during World War II.

The 129th Division also had quite a harvest.

Li Yunlong saw Yu Hua striding forward, and he followed, "Brother Yu, what is there to look at with this devil's flag?"

Looking at Yang Jun, Yu Hua said.

For Li Yunlong, this was fighting the devils together with the Sichuan Army.

According to the pre-battle discussion, the Eighth Route Army even earned a little bit more.

As for the devil's flag, to Li Yunlong, he would even find it disgusting to use that thing to wipe his butt.

Li Yunlong, who was to the side, stepped forward, "Brother Yu, in the future, if there is something like this..."

Everyone else also gathered around, waiting to see what use this thing had.

Just as Yu Hua was talking with Li Yunlong, Yang Jun ran over in a hurry.

Yu Hua grinned: "It's not clear yet, we'll know once we go take a look."

"You are quite good at using troops."

After taking a look, Li Yunlong said in astonishment.

Instantly, Li Yunlong widened his eyes: "There's such a thing?"

Otherwise, he wouldn't be this happy.

Just the little devils' Grenade Launchers alone numbered twenty, plus one Mortar.

Li Yunlong turned his head to look at Yu Hua: "In this Ambush, did your troops discover the devils' Regimental Flag?"

Regarding the combat effectiveness of the Hashimoto Detachment, Kawakishi Bunzaburo still had confidence.

He believed that the Hashimoto Detachment would definitely be able to hold out until dawn.
