Zong Tomb: Starting from Huangpizi Tomb

Chapter 58 Alliance Flag

I don't know what Bai Jing discovered that made him so excited.

You know, let alone others, Hu Bayi, Fatty and Bai Jing have known each other for such a long time, and this is the first time they are so excited to see Bai Jing, which makes Hu Bayi and Fatty a little confused.

Because of this, the two of them ran the fastest and soon arrived in the direction where Bai Jing's voice came from.

Others were naturally a little curious and came over immediately.

Soon, everyone saw Bai Jing holding a 'rag' and getting excited.

Seeing this scene, everyone else thought Bai Jing was probably crazy.

It's just a rag, there's nothing to be excited about.

Immediately, Hu Bayi stepped forward and took a closer look, and found that there was indeed nothing special. He immediately joked: "Old Bai, you must be hysterical. Isn't this just a rag? What's so exciting about this?" ?”

Bai Jing heard this, glanced at Hu Bayi, and then said disdainfully: "Do you know what this is?"

After saying that, Bai Jing first looked at Hu Bayi, and then at the others.

Everyone was a little confused and confused when they heard Bai Jing's words.

Fatty Wang immediately said: "There's nothing wrong with him, Old Hu. Isn't this just a piece of rag? You say it's a piece of rag, even if it breaks the sky, this is also a piece of rag."

As soon as he said this, Bai Jing was speechless. He immediately looked at everyone and said, "Look at your ignorant looks."

After saying that, Bai Jing dragged up the piece of 'rag'. At this time, everyone saw that there seemed to be a small part of the piece of cloth with some writing on it, but it was no longer legible.

Seeing that there seemed to be words on this thing, Hu Bayi really didn't recognize it, so he immediately looked at Bai Jing, wanting to hear Bai Jing's explanation.

Bai Jing didn't continue to pretend.

He immediately pointed to the rag in front of him and said, "This is the Japanese 'Union Flag'."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone else was a little confused, but Lao Yangpi seemed to understand something, and immediately asked in surprise: "Young man, do you think this is the Japanese flag? Is it true or false?"

Hu Bayi and others were even more confused. They had no idea about the weight of the Japanese alliance flag.

Bai Jing did not hesitate and explained immediately: "Let me tell you, starting from the Meiji Restoration, all units established above the regiment must be awarded the regiment flag by the emperor of the Little Japanese to be officially established. "

Everyone seemed to understand something when they heard this, but Ding Sitian obviously didn't understand. Ding Sitian pointed at the coalition flag in Bai Jing's hand and said, "But, Bai Jing, didn't you mean this?" Is it a flag? But why does this flag only have these rags and no flag surface? "

As soon as he said this, Bai Jing laughed even more. Seeing that everyone looked a little confused, Bai Jing did not show off and immediately explained: "In the little devil's place, the unit of measurement for the alliance flag is '旒'. The original meaning is the tooth-like or strip-like decoration on the flag."

As he spoke, Bai Jing moved a few boxes of ammunition and placed them on the ground. Then he placed the coalition flag on the boxes, then arranged the rag strips into a rectangle, and finally made a few gestures with his fingers.

After doing all this, Bai Jing explained: "The coalition flag is mainly divided into five parts: flag surface, sheath, flagpole, flag crown and the most important flag spike. The flag surface is a red day seal plus 16 red sunbursts. The Rising Sun Flag, the face of this flag is gone, and the face itself is unimportant.

The flagpole is even less important, not much to say.

The flag crown, which is the top of the flagpole, is somewhat important. It should be shaped like a three-diamond-shaped golden chrysanthemum, which represents the Japanese royal family. It looks like a complete circular coat of arms in any direction.

Ordinarily, this place was not stored in a hurry. There should be a flag crown. We will look for it carefully when the time comes. It doesn't matter if it is not there. This can only be said to be somewhat important, but not the most important.

Then there is the sheath, which is the least important, so I won’t say much about it.

Next, the most critical thing is the flag spike, the Japanese regiment flag, which consists of three strips surrounding the flag. The infantry and cavalry regiments are purple, while the reserve infantry regiment is red.

Although the striped fringe of this flag is due to its age, it can still be seen that it is a purple flag fringe, which means that it is an infantry or cavalry regiment flag.

According to the regulations when the little devil set up the alliance flag. There are three flags for infantry, cavalry and artillery. The infantry regiment flag is 0.9 meters long and 0.8 meters high. The cavalry and artillery regiment flags are 0.64 meters long and 0.8 meters high.

I just made a gesture about this flag. One of my flags is about 24 centimeters long, and the length of this flag is close to four flags. Combined with the purple flag spikes, it can be judged that this is a Japanese infantry regiment flag. .

Of course, in fact, since the September 18th Incident, the Japanese reserve infantry regiment has been cancelled, and the regiment flag with red spikes has actually ceased to exist. All regiment flags that exist are infantry or cavalry. Just the alliance flag. "

As soon as this statement came out, others did not show any surprise.

Bai Jing knew that his explanation was in vain, or in other words, his explanation was not adequate.

Immediately, Bai Jing first told a set of data and then asked a question.

"Until the end of World War II, the Little Devils issued a total of more than 400 regimental flags. Do you know how many regiment flags there are in the world now?"

As soon as this statement came out, others started guessing one after another. Some guessed a hundred times, and some guessed eighty.

Bai Jing just smiled and shook his head. Finally, after everyone finished giving their answers, Bai Jing said: "Actually, after the end of World War II, after the Japanese government announced its surrender, in order to prevent the regiment flag from falling to outsiders, At that time, all the Japanese troops began to destroy the alliance flags, even the little Japanese royal family was no exception.

I have said before that the flags of the little devils are all awarded by the emperor. Therefore, the flags of each coalition are unique, so for the little devils, this thing can be said to be extremely precious.

In the little devil's army, the organization of this unit only exists as long as the alliance flag is there. If the unit flag is gone, then the organization of this unit no longer exists.

Therefore, the little devil would rather burn the regiment flag than have it captured by other armies.

As far as I know, the only regiment flag that is still intact today is the regiment flag of the 321st Infantry Regiment. Because the regiment commander could not bear it, he only burned the flagpole during the burning ceremony, and then burned the other flags. Some were kept secret.

And our united flag is the only other united flag in the world! "

PS: Is this chapter a bit watery? There’s nothing you can do about it. This thing is related to the meritorious service of the protagonist group and will have a great impact on the follow-up.
