Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

The confusing question and answer between the brigade commander and Lin Zhenhua just now aroused Li Yunlong's curiosity. He walked forward and asked with a flattering face: "Brigade commander, classmate Lin, it's just a broken Japanese army flag, but the two of you are telling a crosstalk. Is there any hidden secret in it? I am very curious, tell me!"

"Li Yunlong, I told you that you are illiterate, but you still refuse to admit it! Today I will tell you the origin of this flag. If this flag is real, then your independent regiment has really made a great contribution this time!"

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Japanese regiment flag, with the word Yoshino written on it. It can be confirmed that it is the regiment flag of the Yoshino regiment. The regiment flag is very important in the Japanese army. Each regiment flag is awarded by the Japanese emperor himself. Each flag is unique and represents the number of this unit. Once the regiment flag is lost, the unit's number will be cancelled. This is no joke!"

"For this reason, each unit of the Japanese army has specially set up a flag guard squadron. They are the real elite of the Japanese army. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the essence of the entire company. Their combat effectiveness is very strong. Once the war goes against them, they will immediately burn the flag. After so many years of fighting, we have never captured a Japanese company flag. At most, we have obtained fragments of the Japanese company flag. We have never seen a large and complete company flag like this!"

"The flag that Lin took out only had a few small holes burned on it, accounting for only 20% of the total area. The serial number, awarding time and other information on it can be seen completely."

Li Yunlong's eyes were wide open, staring at the rag in the brigade commander's hand. If it weren't for the gold thread visible on the rag, he would have thought it was too dirty even for wiping his butt. It would also leak onto his palms if used as a diaper for his child. This was actually the most important military flag of the Japs!

"Student Lin, you are the lucky star of our independent regiment. With this regiment flag, I, Li Yunlong, can really walk sideways and imitate the crab walk."

Li Yunlong laughed heartily, ignoring the brigade commander's glare. He patted Lin Zhenhua's shoulder with joy, causing Lin Zhenhua to grimace in pain. He pushed Li Yunlong away and cursed, "Captain Li, you are so vicious that you are taking this opportunity to take revenge. My shoulder is almost broken by you. Are you doing this on purpose?"

"Li Yunlong, be honest! Let classmate Zhao tell you what happened in detail!"

Lin Zhenhua boasted in front of everyone: "Everyone knows that I, the Northwest Hammer King, have great strength. I immediately came to the Japanese flag guard squadron, but was intercepted by the Japanese. I kicked them one by one and sent them flying."

"When I entered the room, the Japanese had already ignited the gasoline. I quickly threw the pistol at my waist at the Japanese's head, and the Japanese was directly engulfed by the flames."

"I quickly ran to the yard and kicked down a small tree the size of my fist. I picked up the flag with the tree and stomped on it with force, putting out the flames in one swoop."

"I happened to see the gold thread on it, so I quickly washed it with water, shook it vigorously, put it in my pocket and brought it back!"

Listening to Lin Zhenhua's brilliant speech, everyone was stunned. This really wasn't a martial arts novel. How could such an amazing person exist in real life!

Li Yunlong replied angrily: "Student Lin, there was a cow flying in the sky just now. You are so damn boastful that even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe it! You are the weakest chicken in our independent regiment. You can't even beat a young soldier who has just joined the army for a month. And you kicked a little Japanese soldier to the ground with one foot. This must be a dream!"

Hearing Li Yunlong slandering him as a weakling in front of the brigade commander, Lin Zhenhua's temper could not stand it, and he yelled: "Captain Li, you are looking down on me! I am not bragging to you. Every one of us in our independent regiment is counted as one. Just ask around and see who doesn't know my name, the Northwest Hammer King. I am a real powerhouse, not a weakling in your eyes!"

"Monk, you're awesome, right? You still admit that you are inferior to me and admit that you are not as good as me, the Northwest Hammer King. Now that I'm in your hands, Captain Li, I've become the weakest member of the independent regiment. This is slander. You must apologize to me!"

Zhao Gang also knew Lin Zhenhua's funny personality very well. He hurried forward to smooth things over and changed the subject: "Student Lin, let's talk business. You captured this flag. What do you think should be done with it?"

Lin Zhenhua snorted at Li Yunlong, and said to Zhao Jiazhuanggang with a pleasant face: "Political Commissar Zhao, you hit the nail on the head. Unlike some people, who have no ability themselves, they want to achieve their ulterior motives by slandering others!"

Li Yunlong was about to retort, but was glared at by Brigade Commander Chen. He held back what he was about to say and listened to Lin Zhenhua continue: "I think this flag is not good for food or clothing, so we might as well exchange it for something practical. We are short of guns, ammunition, and machine tools right now. This flag is a good opportunity to exchange it. I believe the Yoshino Regiment will agree to our terms."

"After all, it's not realistic to drive the Japanese out with a flag. Besides, even if the Japanese withdraw the number of the Yoshino Regiment, they can get out by changing their name. This will not change our situation at all. It may even make the Japanese raids more crazy, causing the people in the base to suffer greater losses!"

Brigade Commander Chen nodded in agreement. Initially he was planning to hand the flag over to the headquarters and suggested making some use of it. But now he had a different opinion and very much agreed with Lin Zhenhua's pragmatic approach.

"Student Lin, this flag will stay with your independent regiment for now. As for how to deal with it, I need to ask the boss for instructions. You have made a great contribution this time, and you will definitely receive the reward you deserve!"

"Li Yunlong, you better keep quiet these days and cooperate with classmate Lin in the prisoner transformation work. If anything goes wrong, I will take the responsibility for you!"

"For the extremely evil devils and puppet troops, we can hold a public trial to read out their crimes in person, and let the people in the base area vent their anger! The devil's counter-mopping-up operation against our base area is still going on. If the current situation continues to deteriorate, the various troops are likely to break up into small groups and go into the mountains to fight guerrilla warfare. Your independent regiment must be prepared in advance and strengthen the training of the troops to cope with the subsequent changes in the situation!"

Li Yunlong expressed his inner thoughts and complained: "Brigade Commander, it's not that I, Li Yunlong, don't want this credit, I'm just powerless. The captured Japanese can't be killed or beaten, and it's impossible to release them. This is a burden and a heavy burden for the independent regiment. I have no choice but to hand this matter over to classmate Lin."

Zhao Gang then explained: "Brigade Commander, this time I, Zhao Gang, testify that Li Yunlong was not complaining just now, he was telling the truth. We don't have any good ideas on how to deal with the Japanese prisoners. We can't just absorb the Japanese prisoners into the team and help us fight the Japanese!"

"Commander, let me be fair. These Japanese prisoners are really hard to deal with. It would be best to use them to exchange for our captured soldiers. This is the best of both worlds! As for keeping them, the risk is too great. These Japanese who have been brainwashed by Bushido have escaped several times in the past few days, and two soldiers have been injured. We must deal with them as soon as possible, otherwise it is likely to affect the morale of the army!"

"Besides, many soldiers of the independent regiment have a deep hatred for the Japanese. They came to me and begged me to kill all these Japanese. I persuaded them to go back for the time being!"
