Chapter 1553 The oath is silent (first update, please subscribe)
it's time.

Finally, the body supported by the engineer shovel fell limply.

At this moment, a pair of military boots broke into the somewhat blurred vision, and then someone hugged him fiercely, shouting loudly.

"Sir, sir... medics... medics"

While shouting, the soldiers tried their best to drag the battalion commander out of the trench. He hugged the bloody officer and shouted loudly.

"Medical soldier, this way, the battalion commander, the battalion commander is here..."

The health soldier ran to his side holding the helmet, and picked up Andekai's clothes with a knife. After the military uniform was torn off, when the health soldier wiped the blood on his body with the bandage, the wounds were no longer bleeding. His blood has been shed.

"The battalion commander is dead..."

After leaving a sentence, the medical soldier ran to another comrade. On the battlefield, the duty of the medical soldier is to rescue the soldiers who can be saved. They will never waste time on the hopeless comrades, because it is a waste of other people's lives. .

Holding the battalion commander's body, he felt the officer's breathing becoming weaker and weaker. At this moment, the soldier seemed to see something, and he shouted a little excitedly.

"Sir, don't die! Look, look there...it's the regiment flag! It's our regiment flag! Sir, open your eyes and see!"

The soldier shouted loudly in the officer's ear, and Andekai, who was almost out of breath, opened his eyes all of a sudden, and even squirmed his body with his own strength.

"It's the regiment flag! Commander, look... look... it's the regiment flag!"

A red Suzaku army flag inlaid with golden tassel spikes, the regiment flag bestowed by the emperor, just moved forward more than ten steps in front of him. Maybe Andekai saw it, and he stood motionless. Lying in the arms of his comrades-in-arms, he opened his mouth and tried to raise his right hand. Maybe he wanted to pay tribute to the military flag for the last time, but in the end his hand fell on his chest and his heart.Maybe that's what he had in mind...

"Please! Please..."

What is he asking for?
The soldier holding An Dekai didn't know that this was the last sentence he left behind. Maybe he wanted to tell the regiment flag that he was no longer able to do it. He hoped that his comrades could lead the regiment flag to victory!
He lay in the arms of his comrades like this, and he did not close them until he died. His open eyes kept looking at the dough flag, which was escorted by the flag guards and marched with the troops.

Not long after, the flag bearer of the regiment who was attacking with the troops was also sacrificed. When the flag bearer was hit by a bullet, his body suddenly stopped, but he did not fall backwards, but used his last breath to lift the flagpole. Into the blood-soaked ground scorched by shells.

The regiment flag was planted there, and the regiment flag fluttered rhythmically with his trembling. This may be the most beautiful and majestic scene in the world!

A few hundred meters away, Zuo Xiaokuan, who was holding a telescope, tightly grasped the mirror body, and something touched his heart at this moment.

Through the binoculars, he could clearly see the fallen flag guard supporting the dough flag with his body, and then another flag guard raised the dough flag again.

The regiment flag has a special meaning in the imperial army. Each regiment flag is bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor when the troops are formed. The first generation of flag guards will enter the palace and receive the regiment flag from His Majesty the Emperor. And vowed to defend the glory of the flag with his life.

From then on, every infantry regiment, every individual, must take an oath to the regimental flag, which is the treasure they regard as their lives in the army.

It is also because of this that the regiment flag usually does not attack with the troops, but once the regiment flag is issued an order to follow the attack, everyone knows that there is no room for negotiation in this battle, only offense, non-stop attack, even if No matter how many casualties they paid, their tasks must be completed.

For any imperial army, after the regimental flag appears on the battlefield, there are only two choices, either they complete the campaign objectives and win; Captured by the enemy.

The regiment flag is attacking with the army, which is the reminder of an infantry regiment!

Everyone understood what failure meant—the military flag was captured by the enemy, and the entire regiment was disbanded. From then on, this number no longer existed in the sequence of the imperial army.Not only that, but it also means shame.Every soldier who retires from this infantry regiment is ashamed of it.For the rest of their lives, they were ashamed to even mention their numbers.

Through the binoculars, Zuo Xiaokuan nodded silently when he saw the flag bearer who had exhausted his last ounce of life and planted the regiment flag on the enemy's position being carried on a stretcher by the rescuers.

In any infantry regiment of the Imperial Army, the standard bearer is the best and bravest second lieutenant, and one of the closest officers to the soldiers. In an infantry regiment, perhaps the soldiers may not know the names of the regimental commander and other commanders, but Will definitely know the name of the standard bearer.

The standard bearer is the person they are most familiar with.

When the flag bearer was carried down, Zuo Xiaokuan walked forward, and soon he reached the retreat trench of the wounded. The air here was filled with a strong smell of blood, and there were wounded everywhere, the wounded who were carried down Most of them were seriously injured, and the wounded who were slightly injured would never be withdrawn at this time. Even if they died, they would die under the regiment flag until the mission was completed.

Finally, Zuo Xiaokuan walked up to the flag bearer, bent down, looked at the flag bearer who was breathing weakly, and then half-knelt down, holding the flag soldier's hand with his hand, at this moment, he saw the flag bearer's waist Wearing a sword, the sword of the Army Officer School.

They are alumni.

In fact, this is inevitable. Every standard bearer is a graduate of the Imperial Army Academy, and they are all very good.

"Sir...sir...I, we..."

What does he want to ask?
Perhaps the issue he is most concerned about is whether the troops have completed the combat mission, and the regiment flag, which is also his concern.

But Zuo Xiaokuan can't answer these now, after all, the battle is still going on there.But for the standard bearer, his battle is over.

"Lieutenant, are you married?"

He wanted to write a letter to his wife in his own hand, because he knew that this young man who had been shot in the abdomen would hardly survive. Being shot in the abdomen and chest on the battlefield meant death, and besides, he was shot several times.

"I...have a girlfriend...she, she is..."

The standard-bearer, whose voice was getting weaker and weaker, had a smile on his young face. The smile was faint but showed some yearning. His eyes looked at the sky without blinking, as if he saw the beautiful face of his lover. But the look in his eyes was fading little by little, his brows were furrowed from time to time, and he was experiencing the torment of severe wound pain.

At this time, a health soldier came and gave him another injection of morphine to relieve the pain. With the help of the medicine, he finally felt more comfortable again.

"I... really... want to..."

This was the last sentence the bannerman left in the world. Before he finished speaking, his eyes were still open, as if his wish had not been fulfilled.

What were his last words?
Want to break into San Francisco?Still missing your girlfriend?
No way of knowing, but he did fulfill his vow.Use your own life.

The oath is silent, in fact, because he was forged with his life.They always silently use their lives to write their vows.

Zuo Xiaokuan, who was half kneeling beside the stretcher, looked at the second lieutenant who had stopped breathing, looked at him silently, and then said to the commander of the infantry division beside him.

"Give me his information! I will personally write a letter of condolences to his family."

When he said these words, Zuo Xiaokuan, who had been half kneeling there, stood up, and then he saluted the second lieutenant's body, and the others followed suit.

They are not just saluting this second lieutenant, but all the comrades who died in this battle...
