Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 39: Collection (medium)
When the navy was gathering troops at the dock, the battle on the Bund was nearing completion. Although Honda Shaozuo is a young man, he is not a madman like Hou Dong.
Captain Honda is indeed more utilitarian and anxious for promotion, but his grades when he graduated from Army University are not completely out of date. As long as he didn’t make any mistakes during his service, he can rely on his seniority. Smoothly advanced.
Generally, a junior junior in the army only needs two years of service experience to be promoted to a junior junior. Of course, if there is actual combat performance, the promotion will be faster than others, and the position will be more important, such as directly transferred to the main combat team. The division as the wing commander is not without precedent in history.
Honda just got a hot head, and finally threw all his career prospects in. This time, no matter how it ended, he couldn't shirk his responsibility. Military tribunals cannot escape. If you are lucky, you may be able to save a life. Although hope appears to be slim at the moment, it is not that there is no chance.
He has arrested all the chief conspirators and negotiated the ceasefire with the Germans. He also collected the remains of the soldiers who died in the battle to prevent the Japanese soldiers from exposing their bodies to the media that will inevitably arrive.
When the battlefield cleaning is over, the second team will take the initiative to withdraw to Hongkou, and he will stay to cooperate with the concession investigation. This solution can hardly find any flaws. If there is no group of idiots, it can completely affect the incident. Reduce to the empire's controllable range, and use some benefits to stop the Germans.
Honda has dismissed the command position on its own, but the subordinates still regard him as the captain of the second squadron. The news that Honda is preparing to sacrifice itself has spread throughout the army, and the squadron’s actions have been approved by the officers and soldiers. Unanimously admired.
Every Japanese soldier who walked in front of him would solemnly pay a military salute to the captain, or simply take off his military cap and bow deeply. Honda Shaozuo took the responsibility of participating officers and soldiers on his own body, which is equivalent to saving all the officers and soldiers on the scene with his own future and even his lives. This is how a man can behave. For such a commander, in addition to gratitude What words to express?
"It seems that your people love you very much, Mr. Major." Weber held the submachine gun on his chest in one hand and handed it to Honda with the cigarette case in the other.
"They are all excellent fighters. It is because of the stupidity of the officers who were waiting for them to die in a foreign country. I have to take on my own responsibilities." Honda's German is quite good. He is an elective at the Army University. I was in German, and I went to Germany for a half-year research trip. The normal communication between German civilians along the way was a rare talent among Japanese.
"White Knight? A good cigarette. I smoked this when I was traveling in Germany." Honda twisted a cigarette from the cigarette case, sniffed it under his nose, and pressed the tobacco on the back of his hand.
"Have you been to Germany? No wonder you speak German well. Major, three of my men also fell in this battle, but I believe they will receive the rewards they deserve. May their souls rest in peace." Weber handed a cigarette to Lieutenant Stevens, the concession inspector on the other side, then took out a lighter and lit Honda on fire.
"I personally regret the sacrifice of the SS soldiers, Sergeant. I also lost fifty-two Japanese soldiers and generals, but their souls may not be liberated."
"I don’t know what you said very well, it’s about religion? Okay, major, don’t explain to me, it looks like your people have arrived." Webber lit his cigarette. The finger pointed to the Baidu Bridge in the distance, and then I heard gunfire.
"What's the matter? Who is shooting!" Honda stood up when he heard the sound, and he asked loudly.
"My lord, it should be the checkpoint on the bridge." Lieutenant Suzuki ran forward and reported.
"They were from the 116th Engineer Brigade. We forgot that they were still on the bridge." A staff officer said in a panic.
"It's the Navy, with a navy flag hanging on the car!" A squadron leader saw the sun flag flying on both sides of the truck with sharp eyes.
The earliest style of the army and navy flags of the Imperial Japanese Army used 16 sunburst flags, but then to avoid confusion, the army flag was still the sun with the sun in the middle, and the navy changed it to the left side. Partial to the flag of the rising sun, people who don’t understand this often make mistakes, such as treating the Army as a Marine Corps.
The emperor will issue to each newly established Japanese Army Infantry Regiment a flag with a designation, which is the famous wing flag.
About this flag, there is a lot to say. I don’t know if some people did it unintentionally or deliberately. There are many errors in the content circulated in China in later generations.
First of all, the Japanese Union Flag is composed of three parts. Without any of these parts, it cannot be regarded as a complete military flag.
The first is the flagpole of the military flag. Don’t think it’s just a matter of finding a wooden stick. The flagpole of the wing flag is made by Japan’s best gunsmiths. The guns here are not muskets, but Japanese classical long guns. These Japanese craftsmen who still retain the ancient manufacturing skills are made by hand, using specially selected tree vines and bamboo strips, and painted with a layer of special black lacquer. Each flagpole is exquisite in terms of material and craftsmanship. , Its toughness can even withstand the chopping of ordinary swords.
The second is the chrysanthemum heraldic pole head on the top of the flagpole. This is not customized by any hardware factory. They are all made by the Japan Mint in Ginza, Tokyo. They are made of silver-copper alloy and coated on the outside. A layer of 18K gold, because it is the royal coat of arms, so the craftsmanship is more refined.
The third part is the flag surface, which is one meter and thirty-three meters wide and one meter and fifty-one meters long. Whether it is material or handwork, it is the best choice. The corner of the flag surface is stitched with a rectangular white cloth printed with the unit number. There is a circle of golden border around the flag surface, and a circle of purple flag spikes.
Some people who are half-knowledgeable see many old photos in which the Japanese army only held the flagpole with the flag spike on the military parade, so they lied that the Japanese army flag was actually the purple spike. This is simply ignorant and slippery. It's great.
The Japanese Army has a lot of special rules for the military flag. Usually it can only be placed in the wing captain’s office and cannot be displayed to the outside world at will. In situations where it is necessary to move the union flag, the flag bearer will carefully roll the union flag on the flagpole and put on a flag guard outside.
So how can you prove that you are carrying a military flag instead of a folding umbrella? At this time, the flag spike outside will work, so usually when marching or training in the field, the Japanese flag bearers just carry the root The flags of the flags, which can prevent the flags from being dirty or damaged during daily training and marching, so in most marching or military parade photos, only the flags are held.
Actually, the Japanese themselves have another theory, saying that some alliances deliberately put on the alliance flag full of bullet marks and refused to change it, in order to show off their bravery and good fighting, but this is only a folk rumor. I don't think it's very reliable, so I won't waste any space and explain it carefully.
At the moment when the wing is defeated, the wing captain will issue an order to burn the flag, and then the flag bearer will destroy the pole head, burn the flagpole and flag, and avoid falling into the hands of the enemy. But if the same of the three items is retained, this flag is not considered to be completely destroyed, so there are often flag bearers or commanders who secretly keep some of them, such as the fragments of the crest of the crest or a flag spike or a flag surface. .
If anyone pays attention, you will find that the Japanese paintings of the Union flag are all with flagpoles and crests, because only the three parts are combined to be a complete military flag. Therefore, even if the flag is taken by the enemy, it is not considered as a complete fall in the enemy's hands. As long as someone brings back a flag accessory ~ IndoMTL.com~ they can re-form the alliance.
The topic has gone far, now I am back to the Bund.
Lieutenant Kawasaki was commanding the assembly of the second squadron. Hearing the sound of gunfire, he noticed the convoy rushing through the bridge checkpoint, but he did not witness the death of the two engineers.
Captain Kawasaki also noticed the sun flag hung on the truck. As I said earlier, the army will not take out the sun flag casually. Only the navy will use the sun flag as a sign to hoist it. Then he saw the iron anchor sign on the front of the truck, confirming that his judgment was correct.
Why did the navy appear here? This made Captain Kawasaki more vigilant. He knew very well that this operation was a fake military order from the staff of Houtong and others. The 13th Army Command had been informed of the situation, and decent people came to stop it. This time the matter was so big, it would definitely be furious. He could imagine the staff headquarters and the army. Masters of the province, their expressions after hearing the news.
But no matter what happened to the army, it was never the turn of the navy to come out to intervene, and he subconsciously felt that the navy was coming in badly, so he quickly took a few soldiers to greet the convoy.
