At this time, the soldiers had already cleaned up the battlefield, wiped out the 115th Regiment of the Japanese Army, and seized more than [-] rifles of various types, more than [-] bullets, and [-] light and heavy machine guns.
In addition, more than [-] Type [-] grenade launchers, six Type [-] infantry guns, and other corresponding sundries were seized.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the flag of the 115th Regiment of the Japanese Army, which had been burned to the ground, was also seized!
The so-called regiment flag actually means that in the Japanese army, each regiment will set up a military flag. The military flag is awarded by the emperor and only owned by the formed infantry regiment and cavalry regiment, so it is also called the regiment flag.
According to the regulations of the Japanese Army, if the military flag is there, it will be compiled, and if the military flag is lost, it will be punished.Therefore, the military flag is a very important thing in the Japanese army. One of the best second lieutenant officers in the regiment should be selected as the flag bearer, and a military flag guard squadron will be specially set up to protect it.
According to Takushiro Hattori's "The Complete History of the Great East Asian War": "Since January 1874, 1, Emperor Meiji of RB personally awarded the military flag to the 23st and 1nd Guards Infantry Regiments. The cavalry regiment must be awarded the military flag by the emperor himself, and it is regarded as the core of the unity of the troops, and the spirit of the soldiers to the military flag is unparalleled in the world."
If the team flag, which symbolizes the reputation and glory of the alliance, falls into the enemy's hands, it is the greatest shame as an RB soldier. Therefore, most of the time when the last soldier is "broken" in the battle, the company flag is burned.
And this side of the alliance flag has not been burned yet. Presumably, the Japanese army did not expect that they would be wiped out at all, but when they were at a disadvantage, it was too late to burn it!
The alliance flag is the most important thing for Japanese soldiers. It symbolizes the honor of the alliance. Once it is lost or captured, the only way for the alliance is to be abolished.
Chen Qingzhi still remembers that in the Second World War in his previous life, the Allied troops were eager to capture the Japanese military flag, but they failed to do so.
Because the Japanese army's combat regulations stipulate that when it is judged that the entire army is in danger of being wiped out in the battle situation, the military flag should be burned.
But no matter what kind of defeat they encountered, the Japanese army had time to burn the military flag and then commit suicide.
On the Chinese battlefield, since the 14 years of the War of Resistance, there has never been a united flag captured!
But what Chen Qingzhi captured today was the first time in history, and the meaning he produced is definitely far-reaching!
Even to a certain extent, the capture of a united flag is more credit than the annihilation of a brigade of the Japanese army!
You must know that this wing flag represents not only the flag of a wing, but also the highest materialized form of RB's militaristic spirit.
When a soldier mysteriously handed over the alliance flag to Chen Qingzhi, Chen Qingzhi couldn't help observing it.
During World War II, a total of 444 military flags as a symbol of the RB Army were burned in the Pacific battlefield, the accompanying troop carrier sank at sea, or were destroyed in the "flag burning" ceremony held after the defeat.
At present, there is only one flag of the 321st Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army preserved in the Yasukuni Shrine "Yushukan". The only surviving Union flag.
Therefore, Chen Qingzhi was very curious about it.
Holding it in his hand, he found that the alliance flag was about one meter long and 80 centimeters wide, with purple silk tassels on the outermost edge of the flag.
In addition, the flagpole is a long black pole with a chrysanthemum logo on the top of the flagpole.
There is a white cloth sewn on the end of the regiment flag near the flagpole with the inscription: 115th Infantry Regiment
"How about the camp? This is a good thing!" The soldier couldn't help but said with a smile.
Hearing this, Chen Qingzhi couldn't help but nodded.
This is indeed a good thing. If it is handed over to the headquarters, I am afraid that the headquarters will definitely be extremely excited.
Even for the headquarters, the capture of this wing flag is much more important than the annihilation of the entire 115th wing!
"Good! Not bad!" Chen Qingzhi couldn't help admiringly said.
In fact, to Chen Qingzhi, the meaning of this alliance flag is not very great, but to the people above, the meaning it represents is very considerable!
If it can be used to publicize it, it can severely hit the arrogance of the Japanese army, and it can also use this to inspire the anti-Japanese sentiment of the Chinese people.
In general, it can be said to be quite rewarding.
The horse has no night grass and is not fat. Sure enough, if you want to make a fortune, you still have to rely on war!
This time, the 115th Regiment of the Japanese Army was annihilated, and the military supplies seized were enough to equip two or three regiments if they were placed in other troops.
All the soldiers were elated, and Chen Qingzhi was also very happy.
Although he basically didn't like these things, they were still expensive materials. Whether they were used to expand equipment, or turned in and sold, he could get a lot of silver dollars.
"Brothers have contributed a lot to the annihilation of the 115th Regiment of the Japanese Army. I will definitely report your contribution to the superior!" Chen Qingzhi said loudly, drawing cheers.
"Fang Xiaodong!"
"To!"
"Send a telegram to the headquarters to report our situation! At the same time, we sent people to rush to send the flag of the 115th Regiment of the Japanese Army that we captured to the headquarters overnight!" Chen Qingzhi said.
"Yes!" Fang Xiaodong showed a hint of joy on his face, and turned to find the communication soldier to contact the headquarters.
Everyone understands that the annihilation of the 115th Regiment of the Japanese Army this time is definitely a great contribution!Their troops must be able to gain a lot of military exploits.
You know, it has never happened since the September [-]th War of Resistance to wipe out a regiment of the Japanese army, let alone capture a regiment flag.
This victory is an unprecedented victory for the Republic of China!
Main Text Chapter 27 Nanjing Falls!
December 1937, 12 Nanjing
The remnants led by Chen Qingzhi stayed at the Zhonghuamen position all night, because the 115th regiment of the Japanese army that attacked the Zhonghuamen position had been annihilated by them, so this night was a rare and peaceful night.
Compared to the eerie quietness of the Zhonghua Gate position, on other battlefields, the sound of artillery fire and gunshots resounded continuously throughout the night.
Fierce battles and shouts of killing could be heard vaguely from elsewhere, until it was daylight, but the intensity of the battle rose again.
On the night when Chen Qingzhi led troops to garrison Zhonghuamen, the situation in Nanjing changed drastically.
Tang Shengzhi, the commander-in-chief of the Nanjing Garrison who shouted "swear to live and die with Nanjing", actually issued an order for the defenders to retreat at the most intense moment of the battle, causing most of the troops to be in turmoil.
The soldiers on the front line were all in danger and had no intention of fighting again, but the defenders of each gate retreated out of order due to haste, and most of the soldiers were stranded in the city, unable to go out.
Until the dawn of the 13th, under the intensive bombardment of Japanese aircraft and cannons, all defensive lines were lost. Yuhuatai was occupied by the Japanese, Zijin Mountain fell, and Zhongshan Gate was broken by the Japanese. Next, use your body to block the Japanese army's offensive momentum.
At noon in the battle, Sun Yuanliang, who was stationed at the Guanghuamen position, even led some troops to flee to Xiaguan while the troops were still holding on. Although Song Xilian, the commander of the 36th Division, persuaded him to return, it was too late.
A small detachment of the Japanese army had already taken advantage of the chaos to lurk in the city, and cooperated with the Sixth Division of the Japanese army to capture Guanghuamen!
In addition, the Japanese naval ships passed the blockade line and reached the Xiaguan River, and a part of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army also entered the river near Baguazhou by boat.
A large number of officers and soldiers of the Republic of China who were crossing the river were killed and injured by the firepower of the Japanese Navy and the 16th Division and the collision of ships.
It is worth mentioning that compared with Tang Shengzhi, the commander of the Nanjing Garrison Command, who fled in the chaos, Xiao Shanling, the acting commander of the gendarmerie, gave up crossing the river when the Japanese army came to pursue him. In the end, he exhausted his ammunition and died in battle.
With his righteous deeds, Xiao Shanling fulfilled his promise of 'swearing to live and die with Nanjing'.
So far, the city of Nanjing has completely fallen!
The defense of Nanjing is over!
