Chapter 130: Seizing the Japanese Army Flag

130 Seized the Japanese Army Flag

Throughout the entire World War II, millions of Allied soldiers never captured a single Japanese flag.

The main reason is that the soldiers and officers on the Japanese side value the regiment flag more than their own lives.

It also represents their honor.

Moreover, all the Japanese regimental flags were bestowed by the Japanese emperor himself.

In every regiment headquarters of the Japanese devils, there is a team dedicated to protecting the regiment flag.

If the Japanese regiment suffered heavy damage and was in danger of being annihilated.

The Japanese soldiers in this team would burn their regiment flag and important intelligence information at the first opportunity.

Ye Qingshan saw at this time that the Japanese defense line had been broken through by their soldiers from all directions.

I knew that he would be successful in the encirclement and annihilation battle tonight.

All that remains is to clear out the remaining enemies.

So, Ye Qingshan showed up and went to find the Japanese regiment headquarters and captured the commander of the 117th Japanese regiment.

It would be best to capture their squadron flag.

However, Ye Qingshan also knew that it was very difficult to capture the Japanese regiment flag.

He didn't hold out much hope.

But you have to try it after all.

Ye Qingshan led his men all the way to the back mountain and found the entrance to the Japanese tunnel.

The veteran in front threw a few grenades in.

"Enter!"

Ye Qingshan shouted.

Everyone rushed in quickly and started shooting.

Many wounded Japanese soldiers hiding in the tunnels were killed directly.

After Ye Qingshan went in, he discovered that the tunnel here was obviously used to hide the Japanese wounded soldiers and ammunition.

Then, Ye Qingshan led his men along the tunnel and continued to kill inside.

Soon, more intense gunfire was heard from the front.

"Sir, there seems to be a big fish ahead.

Those who blocked our way were all Japanese officers. "

An old soldier in front turned around and shouted loudly to Ye Qingshan.

"Damn, that should be correct.

We should have found the Japs' regiment headquarters.

Quick, find a way to get through."

Ye Qingshan shouted anxiously.

"I come!"

The next second, the young warrior stepped forward carrying a bazooka and fired a rocket at the end of the tunnel in front.

Boom!

The rocket hit and exploded immediately.

Suddenly it became quiet in front.

"Come on!"

The veterans roared and rushed forward.

By the time Ye Qingshan caught up, the battle was basically over.

At the end of the tunnel was a relatively spacious semi-underground command post with the bodies of several Japanese officers lying on the ground.

One of the Japanese soldiers was wearing a yellow woolen military coat and shoulder straps of the rank of colonel. He was the commander of the 117th Japanese Regiment, old Japanese soldier Yamada.

Ye Qingshan turned the person over, took a look, and found that he was dead.

"Bah, I'll just blow you to death like this, it's a bargain for you old devil."

Ye Qingshan spat at the corpse of the Japanese regiment commander.

"Sir, look, I seized this."

At this time, the little Wusheng ran over excitedly.

In his hand, he was holding a red plaster flag with one-fifth of it burned, and he handed it to Ye Qingshan.

After seeing it, Ye Qingshan was overjoyed.

"The devil's regimental flag!"

Ye Qingshan took it, looked at it twice, and became more certain that this was the flag of the Japanese 117th Regiment.

The number of the Japanese army unit was written on it.

It was obvious that the Japs were about to burn the regimental flag.

As a result, a rocket launched by Xiao Wusheng exploded, directly killing all the Japanese soldiers in the Japanese regiment.

In the end, the Japanese only burned a small part of the regiment flag.

"Haha, little Wusheng, you've done a great job."

Ye Qingshan patted the young martial artist on the shoulder and said happily.

"Sir, is this the Japanese regiment flag you mentioned before?"

The young martial artist looked at him curiously and asked.

“Yes, that’s the thing.

When we return to Nanjing with the Japanese flag, it will be a sensation in Nanjing and the world."

As Ye Qingshan spoke, he put away the Japanese regiment flag and handed it to Xiao Wusheng.

Tell him to keep it well.

"Yes, sir, rest assured, I will keep this Japanese regiment flag safe."

The young martial artist also responded excitedly.

At this time, Ye Qingshan also looked at his watch. Two hours had passed since they launched the attack.

Ye Qingshan remembered that Commander Deng had mentioned this in the telegram he had sent him before.

A regiment of the Japanese 13th Division in the west can arrive here in three hours at most.

They must wait until the Japanese 13th Division, the supporting regiment, arrives here.

After completely wiping out the Japanese 117th Regiment, they quickly evacuated.

Before leaving, Ye Qingshan did not forget to use the camera that Alice had given him.

Take a photo with the body of the Japanese commander of the 117th Regiment who was killed in the explosion.

When Ye Qingshan, Xiao Wusheng and others came out of the tunnel, the battle outside was basically over.

There were still some sporadic gunshots heard on the battlefield at night.

Those were the National Army soldiers, clearing out the last remaining enemies on the battlefield.

"Finally won."

Ye Qingshan let out a long sigh and felt much better.

"Commander Ye, you are here.

We won, it was a great fight tonight.

We completely wiped out this group of devils!"

After a while, Lu Dahai and his men found Ye Qingshan and joined him.

"Thank you for your hard work. It's okay."

Ye Qingshan saw that Lu Dahai had a slight injury on his arm and expressed his concern.

"It's okay, I was just grazed by a bullet."

"Ah."

After another ten minutes, there were no more gunshots on the entire Japanese hilltop position.

They finally achieved their goal of annihilating the Japanese 117th Regiment.

The soldiers began to quickly clean up the battlefield and prepare to retreat.

Boom boom boom!

Suddenly, there was a burst of artillery fire from the west, followed by intensive gunfire.

When Ye Qingshan looked at the direction, he found that he was on a small road to the west.

"Oh no, reinforcements from the Japanese 13th Division have arrived.

They came so fast!"

Ye Qingshan's face changed.

"Quick, tell all the troops to disperse and retreat."

Ye Qingshan gave the order immediately.

At this time, it was too late for the various troops to reunite.

There was simply no time left, so everyone had to lead the team and retreat separately.

Don't let the Japanese troops coming to support you get caught.

"Send a telegram to contact Captain Zhou in the north and tell them that they can retreat."

Ye Qingshan said to the telegraph operator.

However, the telegraph operator found Ye Qingshan soon after sending the message and told him: "We have been unable to contact Captain Zhou."

When Ye Qingshan heard this, he knew that it was most likely Zhou Pingkou’s radio station that was destroyed.

Fortunately, Ye Qingshan sent a telegram to Zhou Pingkou before the night attack.

Let him hold on for another three hours, and then he can lead his troops to retreat.

Because three hours was Ye Qingshan’s last chance to encircle and annihilate the Japanese 117th Regiment.

After this time, Ye Qingshan still cannot annihilate the remnants of the Japanese 117th Regiment.

The reinforcements from the Japanese 13th Division in the west should be arriving soon.

By then, everything will be over.

Therefore, Ye Qingshan told Zhou Pingkou at that time to let them block the enemy in the north for the last three hours.

When the time comes, they can retreat regardless of whether Ye Qingshan succeeds or not.
