Chapter 28
Cheng Yiyun brought the troops back with Zhang Wenbin's helpless sigh. He also brought back a tattered military flag.
"Guild Leader, look!"
Cheng Yiyun handed the tattered military flag to Zhang Wenbin with a relieved expression on his face.
Zhang Wenbin spread out the military flag. It was a tattered military flag that couldn't be any more tattered. On the right side of the military flag, on the white side, the words " 35th Regiment " were written in Japanese.
The left side of the flag, which was the surface of the flag, was almost empty. There were only some threads hanging like this.
"You did well!"
A smile appeared on Zhang Wenbin's face. He knew that the Japanese's regiment flag, especially the regiment flag of a regular division, was different from the ones in later dramas.
If you watched the drama, you would realize that no matter what, the Japanese's military flag was always intact and bright.
However, that was a drama. In reality, the Japanese's regiment flags, especially those of regular divisions, were mostly tattered. As for the shiny and beautiful ones, they were only used by newly built infantry regiments.
Even the old alliance didn't do this.
This was because there was an unwritten rule in the Japanese army. The more tattered the flag, the more outstanding the military achievements.
The flag of the Japanese regiment would not be changed under normal circumstances. It was seen as a symbol of spirit. The Japanese's flag was made of silk and could be easily damaged in war.
Therefore, the general flag was in tatters. It represented that the regiment had participated in many wars and achieved meritorious service. It was also a symbol of glory.
The more tattered the flag, the more glorious it was. If the flag was bright and shiny, then it was definitely a newly formed regiment that had never been on the battlefield and had no military achievements. Those who were interested could take a look at the flag. The worse the flag, the greater the glory. In the Battle of Nomenham, a Japanese regiment was completely wiped out. When the troops behind went to look for the flag, they finally found the head of the flag. The Slavs did not know and did not recognize it, so they ignored it.

The temporary command center of the front line in Jinling
Prince Asaka was the frontline commander of Jinling's defense. Although he was only a lieutenant general, he was still a member of the royal family.
As a notorious old devil in history, he was currently sleeping in his own headquarters.
This time, the reason why he was able to take on the role of frontline commander was largely because Matsui, the commander sent by Shanghai, was sick and could not personally command the battle at the front line, so he became the frontline commander.
The sudden sound of gunfire woke Prince Chao Xiang up. He got up from his bed in a daze and walked out of the room with a coat draped over his shoulders. He called a guard over and said,"What happened? Why were there gunshots tonight? Is there still that unit fighting?"
Prince Xiang asked the guard.
"Your Highness, I don't know. However, I believe that some troops are besieging the remaining Chinese soldiers in the city.”
the guard said.
Prince Chao Xiang was slightly more awake now. He listened carefully and frowned.
The continuous gunshots were not the sound of a Type 38 rifle at all.
Every rifle had different gunshots. To the ordinary people, there might not be much difference, but to the soldiers, especially the veterans, they could tell the difference.
"No! Immediately send someone to investigate the direction of the gunshot. There is a unit of our army!”
Prince Chao Xiang felt uneasy and said to the guard.
After the guards left, Prince Asaka did not continue sleeping. Instead, he put on his clothes and went to the command post.
He thought that there shouldn't be such gunshots tonight because the army had been fighting for two days and one night. This should be the time to rest. However, there were gunshots tonight, and these gunshots were not from the Type 38 rifle. This was not right.
After a while, an advisor came to Prince Asaka and said,""Your Highness, the gunshot came from the 35th Regiment of the 9th Regiment.”
"The 35th regiment? This was the Empire's elite regiment. What was going on with them? Send a message immediately to ask what happened.”
Prince Chao Xiang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that it was the 35th regiment.
The 35th Regiment's combat strength was unquestionable, not to mention the 9th Regiment, which was ranked in the top 5 of the 17 regular divisions.
After about twenty minutes, the advisor came back and asked,""Your Highness, they haven't returned the call. Their radio station seems to be in a silent state.”
"Silent state?"
Prince Asaka frowned again. The big battle was over, but the small battle was not. The radio station could not go silent. Under normal circumstances, if it was not a secret mission, the radio station would not go silent.
But now there was radio silence.
"Boom ~"
"Boom ~"
"Boom ~"
"Boom ~"
"Bang ~"
"Bang ~"
"Bang ~"
....
Just as Prince Chao Xiang was deep in thought, a series of explosions and gunshots came from outside. Soon after, countless explosions and gunshots came from other directions.
"An explosion happened there? Quickly send a message to all the divisions to ask what happened.”
The uneasiness in Prince Chao Xiang's heart was becoming more and more obvious. Tonight's events were too strange. First, gunshots were heard from the 35th regiment. Then, the radio station of the 35th regiment went silent. Now, explosions were heard everywhere.
It seemed that tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. Someone did not want them to rest well.
This time, the various divisions had called him back very quickly.
The contents of their calls were similar. They said that a Chinese army had attacked their barracks. It was not accurate to call it an attack because these national troops only used mortars to bomb their camps. After a few rounds of bombing, they would shoot and kill the soldiers on duty before turning around and running away.
They didn't stop at all. All the divisions were like this. Prince Chao Xiang knew that this was a premeditated operation.
"Call back to the divisions and order them to increase the number of guards. The rest of the troops should rest as usual!”
Prince Asaka wasn't stupid. At this time, the priority was to ensure that the troops had enough rest. If the soldiers didn't have enough rest, they wouldn't be able to do anything else.
After the telegram was sent out, there was a moment of silence. Prince Asaka felt that there were no more problems for the time being. As for the 35th Regiment, they would talk about it tomorrow!
There was no way to solve it now.
However, after lying down for more than 40 minutes, less than an hour later, explosions and gunshots rang out again, and he was woken up again.
When he woke up, he was so angry that he wanted to send a message to the divisions to see if it was those people again, but the gunfire stopped again.
He was so angry that he could only go back to sleep again. In the end, after lying down for more than 40 minutes, he came again.
She had just fallen asleep when she was woken up again…
This kept repeating, and he couldn't sleep well. Not only him, but all the Japanese in Jin Ling City couldn't sleep well.
Countless Japanese had already gone crazy. Can't they sleep?
Are you all immortals? Don't you sleep?
Every forty minutes, every forty minutes. You've just fallen asleep and are about to enter a beautiful dream. Are you a demon?
