    ??

    The merit of surrendering a military flag is several times greater than killing a colonel!  Regardless of whether the People's Army on other battlefields believed it or not, it was true that Liu Erdan was awarded the award for his meritorious service, because he had been commended by the entire army, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs even opened a special propaganda line for Japan.

    This made the People's Army on various battlefields very excited, so every time they fought, they had to carefully look for whether there was a military flag included.  Although no military flags were found later, due to the meticulousness of each department, the battlefield was cleaned very cleanly. This was purely spontaneous.

    But the impact on the Japanese army was huge.  The Aso regiment was completely destroyed, and the regiment flag was also captured. The blow to Japan was far heavier than Zhang Hanqing imagined.  The commander of the 5th Brigade repeatedly wanted to apologize for this, and the commander of Anmanqin's 1st Division also sent a long message to the General Staff Headquarters, explaining in detail the circumstances surrounding the loss of the military flag.

    If the war had not continued, he would have been deprived of his position as division commander.

    For safety reasons, the Japanese troops on all fronts had to put their flags in Busan for safety.  So from this day on, the Japanese troops on the Korean battlefield will not have military flags

    The reason why the Japanese army attaches great importance to the military flag is that it is the highest materialized form of Japanese militarism.  It was so overcorrected that in the end it was impossible to distinguish that the essence of the war was victory rather than keeping the flag.

    In the summer of 1939 in official history, the Battle of Suzinomonhan broke out on the border between the then puppet "Manchukuo" and Mongolia.  From the Soviet offensive on August 20 to the ceasefire on the 30th, within 10 days, the Kwantung Army suffered 18,000 casualties. Most of the 23rd Division and 7th Division's organic units were completely annihilated. The Japanese Army encountered  The most disastrous defeat since the formation of the army.

    Under this situation, the Japanese army is still planning a larger-scale death attack. Why?  Junpei Gomikawa, a former veteran of the Kwantung Army and a Japanese writer, wrote in his book "Nomonhan":

    "I heard that after the 64th Regiment and others were annihilated, what the Kwantung Army and the 6th Army were most worried about was not whether or how Captain Wuguang Regiment of Shanxian County and others died. What they were most worried about was whether the military flag was completely burned and whether there was any  Falling into the hands of the enemy. After that, the Kwantung Army mobilized the 2nd Division, 4th Division and other directly affiliated troops in an attempt to launch a major counterattack. The missing military flag was one of the main reasons. The military flag became a major worry for them.  "

    On September 24, the Japanese army finally discovered the bodies of the two captains of the 64th Regiment Yamagata Takemitsu and the 13th Independent Field Artillery Regiment Ise Takahide at Highland 747. They also found the bodies of the 64th Regiment that had not been completely burned.  The military flag (the artillery regiment does not have a military flag), and the military flag's chrysanthemum royal pattern crown was also found in the flag bearer's pocket.

    This discovery made the 6th Army and the Kwantung Army breathe a great sigh of relief. What they were most concerned about was not how many soldiers died, but the military flag: what made them most uneasy and restless was whether the military flag fell into the hands of the Soviet army.  hand.  Because for them, losing the military flag was a great shame and humiliation for the Kwantung Army.  More importantly, losing the military flag also means losing one's own face.

    Whether it is the "second phase operation" planned by the Kwantung Army or the "battlefield cleanup", one of the potential factors, or the unspeakable purpose, is to find the missing military flag.

    As for the Japanese 7th Division participating in the war, since the division commander Sonobe and Lieutenant General Ichiro were not confident in this war, which was like fighting against stones, they asked their regiment in advance to leave all the military flags at Qiqihar.  Although there were not many soldiers left in the three regiments, the 7th Division was greatly relieved for this.

    ??The Chinese may think this is a ridiculous trivial matter.  Then we must talk about another thing: in addition to the military flag, another materialized form of the spirit of Japanese militarism is the so-called "Yasukuni Shrine".  Why did successive generations of Japanese prime ministers after the war dare to brave the disapproval of the world and insist on paying homage to ghosts?  Because it is a sealed "spiritual atomic bomb".

    As long as this seed is enshrined, once the time comes, the "flower of ideals" of the Yamato nation will surely bloom again, and the Japanese will surely let the forgetful people relive its past appearance.

    In early 2008, the documentary "Yasukuni Shrine" independently produced by Chinese TV station in Japan Li Ying was repeatedly suspended from being released in Japan, which fully demonstrated that "Yasukuni Shrine" is an untouchable spirit that many Japanese people strive to maintain.  Sensitive zone.

    Since Japan is a nation that pays attention to form and details, the Chinese must pay attention to this, because there may be secrets hidden in it that we don¡¯t know.

    Historically, Japan, which surrendered after defeat, spared no effort to preserve the "emperor system" and regarded it as the only condition for accepting the "unconditional surrender" of the Potsdam Declaration.  In the eyes of the Chinese, it will be different depending on who becomes the emperor. However, now we all know what a powerful spiritual pillar the preservation of the "emperor system" is for the Japanese:

    With it, Japan will never become a democratic country like the West; it is difficult to say that the "Peace Constitution" formulated under external force will not be revised, so whySince modern times, Japan has always been famous for its unpredictable behavior, cunning and sneak attacks, and its failure to play by the rules of the game.  When Chinese culture was imported into Japan, Japan has always emphasized "skills" over "Tao". What they are most interested in are the art of war, tactics and the Thirty-Six Strategies.

    Therefore, don¡¯t easily believe that Japan is now a ¡°peaceful country¡±. Mr. Sun Yat-sen and Lu Xun also felt a strong sense of peace when they stayed in Japan.

    When Sun Yat-sen gave a speech to the Japanese people in Kobe in 1913, he also fervently hoped that the rising Japan could become the "Kingcheng of the East". However, later Japan not only broke through Mr. Sun's bottom line of not being "the domineering eagle dog of the West", but simply used its special products to  The hegemony of militarism has become the vanguard of the worst insult to China.

    Japan was defeated in 1945, but the Japanese have always experienced Chinese idioms and allusions more deeply than the Chinese, such as "sleeping on fire and tasting courage", "making a comeback" and "making a comeback".

    But unfortunately, they met a Chinese who was more familiar with the Japanese than the Japanese, Zhang Hanqing.

    ¡°In leading the Chinese people from a poor, backward, and weak old China to a new China, he not only succeeded in making the Chinese people live a vigorous life, but also broke the backbone of the Japanese people.  The 3rd Army was defeated and then victorious, as evidenced by thousands of corpses along the Imjin River.  More importantly, this battle has a lingering shadow in the minds of the Japanese army, that is, the firepower of the People's Army is too fierce.

    Commander Jiu Nigong Bangyan Wang could not understand that a regiment did not have time to burn the military flag under the attack of the People's Army. What kind of rhythm is this!  He became pessimistic about the outcome of the war.  Such a good plan, with the strength of three divisions, was unable to annihilate most of the People's Army. Instead, it turned defeat into victory. How could we fight this battle!

    You must know that these three divisions are the first-class main forces in Japan. They are the best in Japan in terms of equipment and manpower.  The opponent is just an ordinary one of the 36 armies. The real five main armies have just fought against the Japanese army on the east and west coasts, but the initial feedback is that it is quite difficult to deal with.

    For the first time, Commander Jiuergong Bangyanwang had the intention of quitting.  ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
