A military pledge was a guarantee written after accepting a military order, indicating that if they could not complete the mission, they were willing to be punished according to military law.
It could be said that the military pledge was a traditional culture. Its origin was closely related to the army's marching and fighting. Its purpose was to strengthen the commander's sense of responsibility and ensure the victory of the battle.
One had to know that there was a huge risk in making a military pledge. This was because there was no joking in the military. Making a military pledge, written in black and white, had to be fulfilled.
"Li Yunlong, are you sure you can turn the new regiment into a strengthened regiment of more than 5,000 people in three months?”
Li Yunlong: " Yes, boss. I've already made a military pledge. Don't you believe me?"”
Actually, Li Yunlong was also feeling guilty.
However, he definitely wouldn't want to be the director of a clothing factory.
At worst, he would be punished if he did not complete the military pledge to strengthen the regiment three months later.
Anyway, Li Yunlong was like this.
The CEO pondered over Li Yunlong's suggestion.
The new regiment belonged to the 386th Brigade, but it wasn't an official unit.
The 386th Brigade only had the 771st and 772nd Regiments.
The new regiment was a force that the Eighth Route Army had built up.
This meant that he could only bear all the losses.
However, the Japanese had caused a lot of losses to the 8th Route Army. Many of the troops had suffered significant losses. Therefore, the 8th Route Army had a way to replenish the soldiers and equipment of Li Yunlong's new regiment.
Therefore, Li Yunlong made a military pledge to develop the incomplete new regiment into a strengthened regiment of more than 5,000 people. This condition was still very tempting.
However, he couldn't let Li Yunlong off so easily. The CEO paused and said,""Li Yun Long, the reason why the new regiment suffered such heavy losses this time was because you disobeyed orders and chose to break out of the encirclement head-on.”
"What's there to be proud of when you're replenishing the new regiments?”
Li Yunlong was speechless.
This boss was indeed unreasonable.
Could he continue playing?
However, Li Yun Long and Su Zheng had already discussed the countermeasures.
"Boss, what if we add the flag of Sakata United?" Li Yunlong quickly continued.”
Sakata United's flag?
Hearing this, the CEO's eyes lit up.
The flag of the Japanese army was created in 1870, the third year of the Meiji era. It was issued in the form of the Supreme Decree of the Imperial Government, and was called the Army Royal Flag.
The military flag of the alliance was derived from the Japanese flag, the Sun Flag. The entire flag had 16 blood-red lines of light, also known as the "Rising Sun Flag".
The three sides of the army flag were decorated with purple tassels, the top of the wooden painted flagpole, and a three-sided gold-plated flag crown.
The three sides were the 16-petal chrysanthemum embossed emblem of the Emperor's family.
According to Hattori Takeshiro's " A Complete History of the Great East Asian War ":"On January 23, 1874, the Emperor personally bestowed the military flag to the 1st and 2nd regiments of the Imperial Infantry. From then on, all newly formed infantry and cavalry regiments must be personally bestowed the military flag by the Emperor as the core of the unity of the army.”
Therefore, to the Japanese, the flag of the United Army was a sacred existence, and its status was irreplaceable!
It was also because of this that it was almost impossible to obtain a united flag on the battlefield.
During World War II, many allied forces hoped to seize a united flag from the Japanese, but in the end, they could not fulfill this wish.
According to the Japanese's combat regulations, if there was a possibility of a complete annihilation, they had to burn the military flag and not leave it for the enemy.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, even if the Japanese regiment was besieged or defeated, there was still time to burn the flag.
After all, it was just a fire.
After fighting with the Japanese for so long, the 8th Route Army had yet to capture a single flag.
However, the battle at the Gray Cloud Ridge was different. Wang Chengzhu's two shells had killed the commander of the Sakata United Army and the relevant flag guards, so they had no time to burn the flag.
This also fell into Su Zheng's hands.
The flag of Sakata United was tattered.
To Li Yun Long and Su Zheng, it was just a piece of tattered cloth.
But to the Japanese, it was an honor.
Due to the special significance of the regiment flag, it was usually placed in a black cloth bag. The silk flag was easily damaged, and only the tassels on the outer ring were left.
Even so, the Japanese would not throw away their flags, especially when the battle team was defeated. Instead, they decisively took out their flags to guide the infantry to open up a path for the attack.
Because in the Japanese's mind, the more tattered the flag, the more it showed the long history of the regiment and its combat power.
Moreover, it could motivate the soldiers to the greatest extent. Therefore, even if they were blown to pieces, they would never be repaired. As long as they could still be hung, they would never be abandoned.
This was also the reason why the flag of the Sakata United Army was tattered and did not change.
The CEO's tone also became a little excited as he said,"Li Yunlong, did you really seize the flag of the Sakata United Team?”
"That's right!"
"Boss, to be honest, this regiment flag was seized by a platoon leader called Su Zheng!”
"Furthermore, the one who killed Nobutetsu Sakata, the commander of the Sakata United Team, was also Su Zheng.”
Su Zheng?
This was the first time the boss heard this name.
