Chapter 1274: Burning the Military Flag


Under the fierce attack of our Eighth Route Army, the little devils were defeated and retreated, and the peripheral positions were lost one after another.In desperation, Kimura Hyotaro sent all the logistics units of the 32nd Division, as long as they could hold guns, to the front line, but they still could not contain the offensive of the Eighth Route Army.After more than two hours of fierce fighting, there were less than 2,000 little devils left in the 32nd Division, and its defense line was compressed to a piece of high ground with a radius of only about two miles."

Yaga Ya Road" Kimura Hyotaro roared angrily.Several devil officers gathered around were so frightened that they didn't dare to make a sound, and no one wanted to touch the moldy head of His Excellency the division commander at this time.Seeing the Eighth Route Army approaching closer and closer, Kimura Hyotaro frowned and shouted loudly: "We can't go on like this anymore, if we continue like this, we won't be able to hold out for long at all."

Haven't you already asked for reinforcement from the Army Aviation Why haven't the Imperial Army's fighters arrived yet?"

”A devil officer next to him replied cautiously."

How can Yaga Yalu be like this" Kimura Hyotaro scolded loudly: "This group of waste in Lu Hang is simply a bunch of rice buckets. ”"Chirp" Just then there was a shrill whistling sound in the air, followed by a violent explosion."

Your Excellency the division commander, the Eighth Route Army has launched an artillery bombardment again, it is too dangerous here, you better hurry up and take shelter in the anti-artillery hole," the adjutant hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded him.Then he couldn't help but pick up Kimura Hyotaro and ran to the anti-artillery hole.Kimura Hyotaro and the others hid in the anti-artillery hole in embarrassment, and then Kimura Hyotaro suddenly became calm, and said indifferently: "Tsuchibalu launched a large-scale artillery bombardment again, this is a precursor to the general attack, judging from the current situation of the imperial army, I am afraid that it will not last long, and we must prepare for the worst."

Inform all troops, and inform the flag protection squadron in the jade shattering operation, and prepare to burn the military flag, the military flag of each wing is a symbol of the glory of the imperial army, and must not fall into the hands of the hateful Chinese people. ”A devil officer next to "Hai" responded respectfully, and quickly turned around and ran out of the anti-artillery hole to convey the order.The military flag was given by the Emperor of Japan and was only owned by the formed infantry wing and the cavalry wing, so it is also called the wing flag.According to the regulations of the Japanese Army, the military flag is established when it is present, and sanctions are made up if the military flag is lost.The so-called military flag is not actually a flag, and the military flag of the Japanese army is exactly the same as the Fengjie held by the diplomatic envoys of ancient China, which is a long string of knots.After a heavy artillery bombardment, the 8th Route Army immediately launched the final general attack of the 32nd Division.At this time, the sound of artillery outside gradually stopped, and a devil officer hurriedly ran in, and said with a respectful face: "Your Excellency, the commander of the reporting division, the flag protection squadron is ready to carry out the flag burning ceremony at any time." ”According to the practice of the Japanese army, once defeated, the military flag must be burned as a last resort so as not to fall into the hands of the enemy.Moreover, there is an extremely cumbersome set of rituals for the burning of military flags, and the commander of the unit is required to carry it out personally.Kimura Hyotaro nodded expressionlessly and said, "Got it," and then got up and walked outside.At this time, in an open space, more than a hundred little devils gathered, these little devils stood there quietly, with sad emotions on their faces, and many little devils couldn't help but cry silently.The military flag is a symbol of the honor of the Japanese army, and the military flag is established in those who are there, and the military flag is destroyed when the establishment is revoked.Once these flags were burned, it meant that the three infantry wings of the 32nd Division would completely disappear from the Japanese battle sequence.Kimura Hyotaro's face was very calm, although he didn't want to burn these military flags, but when it came to this, it was also a helpless move.At this time, the adjutant leaned into Kimura Hyotaro's ear and whispered: "Your Excellency the division commander, the situation is extremely critical now, and it is impossible for us to complete all the rituals" Kimura Hyotaro nodded and said: "The matter is urgent, and now we can't take care of so much, as long as we ensure that the military flag does not fall into the hands of those hateful people" The adjutant of "Hai" responded respectfully and quietly stepped aside.Kimura Hyotaro stood there, straightened out his military uniform with a serious face, and said casually: "It's time to start" At this time, the three flag guards, each holding a military flag, walked out under the escort of the flag guard.The 32nd Division had only three infantry wings under it, and there was no cavalry wing, so there were only three army flags."

Salute," a devil officer yelled.Now, including Kimura Hyotaro, all the little devils are respectfully saluting the military flag.After the salute, the flag bearer rolled up the military flag, solemnly walked to Kimura Hyotaro, and then handed over the three military flags to Kimura Hyotaro one by one, and then Kimura Hyotaro personally put the military flag on the incineration platform next to it, and then the little devil on the scene saluted the military flag again.Due to the rush of time, the ceremony had to be simplified, and the so-called bong burning platform was just three piles of wood, and gasoline had been poured on the wood.After Kimura Hyotaro had placed all three military flags, a devil officer next to him hurriedly handed over a burning torch, and the ignition had to be carried out by the commander himself.Kimura Hyotaro sighed softly, seemingly reluctant, but finally set fire to the three piles of wood in front of him with his own hands.As a result of the pouring of gasoline, the wood burned at once, and the flag was instantly engulfed in flames.At this time, all the officers and soldiers at the scene saluted the military flag, and according to etiquette, it should be until the fire is extinguished, but the wood will not be extinguished at all for a while and a half.Kimura Hyotaro looked at the military flag in the fire that had almost been burned to ashes, and said with a serious face: "Now the situation is urgent, the military flag burning ceremony can only be simplified, so let's stop here Now that the Eighth Route Army is storming our army's position, I order all of you to immediately rush to the frontline position, and fight with the people of China to the end until all the jade is broken" More than 100 little devils at the scene of "Hai" responded in unison, and then under the leadership of a devil officer, they ran to the front line of the battlefield.Kimura Hyotaro sighed deeply, turned to a devil officer next to him and said: "Yamamoto-kun, my 32nd Division has been defeated so far, and I really have no words to meet His Majesty the Emperor, and the only way to wash away the shame I brought to the empire to His Majesty the Emperor is to wash away in a samurai way, so I hope that Yamamoto-kun can be fulfilled." ”Kimura Hyotaro is begging Yamamoto to be his intermediary, the so-called intermediary, the one who cuts off the head of the disembowelee after he draws a cross on his stomach to end the pain of the caesarean section."

Hai is humble."

The devil officer replied respectfully.aa2705221:
