Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 704 The Witness of History!
Tang Dao, who had already falsified the numbers, even sent the 145th Division headquarters to the Group Army Command to inquire about the battle situation and suppressed the telegram without even replying.

Instead, he turned around and ordered the whole army to rest for 4 hours after they had eaten and drank enough.

All the remains of the soldiers killed in battle and the severely wounded with limited mobility were all escorted by the guard platoon and the remaining half of the supply company to the long-awaited station in the mountainous area.

In this battlefield, apart from the corpses of the Japanese, nothing belonging to the Chinese will be left.

At one o'clock in the morning, the whole army recovered from the exhaustion of several hours of the battle. According to the plan drawn up by Zhuang Shisan, all the infantry companies carried all the captured this time on their backs. , to assemble in a valley four kilometers away from the Laojinkeng battlefield.

There are deep canyons and dense forests, which is the best place to avoid the high-altitude detection of Japanese reconnaissance planes. At the same time, it is not far from Qinglongling Village, and the straight-line distance is not more than 4 kilometers.

The materials are heavy, but the morale is high, the officers and soldiers of the independent battalion are almost at their peak physical fitness, they are full of food and drink, and they are warmed by the bonfire and slept.

Although the mountain road is rugged, there are mountain people who are familiar with the road conditions, and the officers and soldiers of the independent battalion with sufficient physical fitness still moved all the materials into the canyon after more than 2 hours.

Then, after simply drinking water and resting for 20 minutes, Tang Dao issued a combat order to replenish all the remaining ammunition for the whole army. If the ammunition of light and heavy machine guns, submachine guns, and shell guns is insufficient, immediately replace all kinds of weapons seized from the Japanese army to ensure sufficient ammunition.

More than 3000 Japanese-style grenades were also distributed to ensure the heavy firepower of the infantry in close combat.

Although Li Jiujin went over to trick his teammates into being a group of live mules, the hard work was not in vain. He and Zhao Daqiang, the two prodigal company commanders, were still trusted by Tang Dao. Not only did he replenish a large number of submachine guns and shell guns bullets, and each added a 92-type heavy machine gun and 400 melon grenades.

Erpilian is Erpilian's business, wars belong to wars, and Tang Dao will never be stingy with brave people.

The young Qian Dazhu looked enviously at the two big brothers happily leading people to refill the ammunition, and once again learned a very important lesson in life. Being old and prudent is not a shortcoming, but it is not suitable for the battlefield. As a soldier, don't have too many scruples , As long as it is not because of selfishness, you can do whatever you want.

What's wrong with being scolded by the chief for wanting to eat more?You are the commander of the company, if you don't want to benefit your brothers, who can stand in their place?
If you want them to be determined to follow you even if you die, you have to tell them with actions that if you can let your brothers have bullets to fight, have food to eat when they are hungry, and drink water when they are thirsty, I am not so important as an official, whoever you love.

The so-called unity of officers and soldiers is nothing more than that.Just talking about feelings and ideals is useful in the short term, but after a long time, it doesn't matter what you want, only fools will play with you!

Tang Dao taught young company commanders like Qian Dazhu and the newly joined infantry company commanders an extremely vivid lesson with such a simple and crude material distribution.

The two infantry companies who were scolded and cheated became the biggest winners, which was enough to ensure that they would become the two sharpest knives in Tang Dao's hands in the next battle.

Of course, Qian Dazhu’s 3rd company didn’t treat them lightly. Although the submachine guns, shell guns, and light machine guns didn’t have as many bullets as the 2nd and 4th companies, each submachine gun and shell gun had 60 rounds of ammunition, which was far more than other infantry companies. .

This is not because Tang Dao favors one over another, and mainly equips his own three original infantry companies, but allocates them according to the ranks of military exploits listed by Master Zhuang.

The Japanese invaders killed in front of the 2nd Company's position were second only to Zhao Daqiang's 4th Company, and according to the soldier's certificate on the Japanese army's corpse, half of those who attacked their position were the guard squadrons of the Japanese Infantry Wing.

It was similar to the existence of a guard battalion, and it was the last card in the hands of the dead Japanese commander.

The guard squadron had at least 2 people killed in front of the 140nd company's position. Later, when it was counted, its strength should be around 240, of which only Sergeant Cao and Cao Chang accounted for a quarter of its personnel. Such a large number Proportionally composed of veterans, an absolutely tough infantry squadron.

The reason why Tang Dao attached so much importance to his guard squadron was that Tang Dao wanted to find something extremely important.

The flag of the Japanese infantry regiment.

If Tang Dao remembers correctly, in the Chinese battlefield in time and space, there were two Japanese infantry regiments that were completely wiped out by China, but none of the regiment flags were captured.

The reason why it is so difficult is also related to the Chinese themselves. It is not that the Chinese do not strive for success and have fought so many battles. An infantry regiment failed to handle it, but it is the culture passed down from ancient China.

In ancient China, the marching and fighting paid great attention to symbols. Whenever a general went to war, the emperor would give the general a scepter. If the scepter was damaged in battle, it would have a great impact on the morale of the army.

There is also the handsome flag. When each general goes out, he will have his own handsome flag in the Chinese army.The commander-in-chief flag is the spiritual sustenance of the army. If the commander-in-chief flag is cut down by the enemy, it is equivalent to the defeat of the Chinese army by the enemy, and then the whole army retreats. Such things are not uncommon in ancient China.

As a small island country in East Asia, Japan began to worship the idol of China thousands of years ago, and has been deeply influenced by Chinese culture in all aspects.Even though they experienced the Meiji Restoration and began to learn from the West, their traditional culture has not been lost, such as loyalty to the emperor, in addition to some symbols of army building, including military flags.

According to the requirements of the Japanese army, once the battle is lost, the team that protects the flag usually retreats first.Even if the regiment leader dies in battle, he should protect the flag and retreat.After all, the captain of the alliance can look for it again. If the military flag is destroyed, the army will be finished.

In the famous Battle of Nuomenkan, a regiment of the Japanese army was surrounded by the Soviet army.A squadron of the Japanese army desperately guarded the flag to break through, while the captain of the regiment and the captains of the two infantry battalions were still encircled. Consider supplementary soldier rebuilds.

When the Japanese saw that the entire army was about to be wiped out, and there was no possibility of running out, they would implement the burning procedure and set the flag of the regiment on fire, unless the infantry regiment could be defeated in a very short time before it could be seized. .

The entire battle lasted more than 3 hours, but Tang Dao did not have the ambition to capture the Japanese army's alliance flag. Even if he was a pig, he would burn the alliance flag with a torch in the later stage of the battlefield!
Tang Dao was right. Takeuchi Yunshan ordered the guard squadron to burn the alliance flag after the second hour of the battle.

However, there was no stepping salute, and it was directly thrown into the fire formed by the explosion and burned, so that the independent battalion after the war could not find any traces of burning cloth.

It can be seen that the Japanese who are in a hurry are not so rigid, and they also know how to be flexible.

But the flag made of cloth can be burned, but the gold flag crown on the flagpole can't be burned. Tang Dao is looking for this thing.

With this, Tang Dao can definitely make Kunisaki stunned, an old devil, into a cerebral hemorrhage.

Unfortunately, he ordered the three infantry platoons to look for it with flashlights for a long time, but they couldn't find it, so Tang Dao had to give up.

In fact, not to mention Tang Dao was not found, even the main force of the Kunizaki Detachment who came to collect the corpse was ordered to search for two days in the Laojin Pit. There were pits everywhere, and the golden flag crown destined to be hidden was not found.

Takeuchi Yunshan's not-so-intelligent little brain was so talented in hiding things that the whereabouts of this golden flag crown became a complete mystery for decades.

It wasn't until more than 80 years later that a rusty flag crown object appeared on a cultural relic appraisal program that was almost a variety show.

The villagers in the mountainous area of ​​southern Anhui who owned the object could not tell the origin of the object. They only knew that the old man in the family dug it out of the soil seven or eighty years ago. Legend has it that the thing was golden at first, but it turned black later. , is a gilded fake.

The three brickmen collectively gave a valuation of 10 yuan with big eyes and small eyes. The reason is that the copper block is so old that it is not even qualified to be a waste product. The reason for giving 10 yuan is purely because they can’t get it. In the case of the origin of this product.
Laozi would rather use the pig as a toy, and the villager angrily threw the thing into his pigsty.

Who knows, it didn't take long for someone to ask him for 10,000 yuan to buy it, and 10 yuan turned into 10000 yuan, and the local pig turned into a phoenix in an instant. It didn't let go when it reached 10,000, but found an authoritative department for another appraisal.

It was not until the relevant departments came forward to appraise that the truth was exposed. It turned out that it was a thing of the war era, and thus found out the truth about the great battlefield. The villagers who knew the whole story donated it to the military museum for free.

Because, Qinglongling Village is his hometown, and his ancestors were also in that thrilling battlefield.

Also because of this rusty thing, the story of such a Chinese victory in a war that broke out in an unknown mountainous area was finally reappeared at the other end of the long river of history.

People can be forgetful, but history will eventually bear witness.
