On January 7, 1908, all units of the 3rd Japanese Division left Japan in batches on a transport ship. The 4th, 10th and 11th Japanese Divisions also began to gather urgently in various places and prepare to go to Borneo.*Literature Network*bjnd

After receiving this news, Chen Hao immediately convened senior officers at the division level and above to hold a military meeting.

Hearing that the Japanese army would send three more divisions, most of the commanders were a little surprised. The Chief of Staff of the First Corps, Ye Lisen frowned and said, "Although we hope that the Japanese army would send more troops to Borneo, the Japanese army could actually dispatch three divisions. It seems that our intelligence personnel in Japan are somewhat underestimated about Japan's overall strength."

"Yes," Li Wei, commander of the First Corps, said in a deep voice: "Originally, we thought Japan would make a large loan from Britain again and delayed it for a few months to send troops. Unexpectedly, they sent out an army of more than 80,000 people without even frowning.

It can be seen from this that although Japan has experienced the loss of the Russo-Japanese War, their recovery and development speed is far beyond our imagination.”

"Hmph" Huang Congli, the commander of the Guard Army, snorted coldly and cursed: "These damn Japanese ghosts must have obtained a lot of extra benefits from Northeast China and Taiwan. They will have so much money to launch an aggressive war of crossing the oceans."

"Haha, the Japanese army had the financial resources to launch such a large-scale war, and it was only one of the reasons why they got China's colonies." Xia Xingyu, who served as the Minister of Intelligence, analyzed: "Because Borneo and the fertile land of the entire Indonesia are too attractive to the Japanese. Therefore, now there is a chance to occupy the Japanese military and political leaders and various groups of chaebols will be so active and desperately support them.

Of course, the destruction of the Seventh Regiment of the Ninth Division of the Japanese Army and the arrival of our army of more than 70,000 people is also one of the reasons why the Japanese army mobilized and sent troops in succession."

"Haha, the more people come, the better." Seeing that everyone was a little surprised and worried about the Japanese army being able to dispatch large troops quickly, Lu Liwei laughed and said, "Everyone, aren't we all hoping that the Japanese army can invade Borneo on a large scale? Now that we are coming, why are we still worried?"

"What do you know?" Chen Hao scolded: "We originally thought that the Japanese army would gradually increase their troops, and planned to gradually attack them and put Japan into the abyss of war. However, they sent 6 divisions at once, which increased the pressure on the reorganized divisions of the Chinese and Indian divisions, forcing us to fight the Japanese army early.

Moreover, the Japanese army had 18 divisions. Since they could easily send 6 divisions, it means they still have the energy to continue to form a large number of divisions.

In this way, if the Japanese army was severely injured and stopped sending troops to Borneo after destroying six divisions of the Japanese army, we would be strongly resisted by the Japanese army in the future."

Tang Jianhai, who had never made any noise, said: "Principal, there are almost 170,000 Japanese divisions. If we want to destroy these six divisions, we will definitely pay a heavy price.

Since the Japanese army value Borneo so much, as long as we continue to hide our true strength and make a miserable situation of losing both sides and paying a heavy price, Japan will definitely send troops to invade Borneo again."

Deputy Commander of the Guards, Lu Liwei clapped his hands and said, "Who would have thought that in the small Borneo, there would be such a huge army hidden? Principal, kill these 6 divisions first."

Chen Hao pondered and said, "It's good, but let the General Staff plan what should be done. Haha, fortunately, during the loss of the war, the Japanese army borrowed money while sending troops to continue coming."

Then, Chief of Staff of the First Corps, Ye Lisen, introduced to everyone the Japanese commander, Nogi, and Chief of Staff, Kuroki, and others.

Carrying the coffin to the battlefield, the Japanese Army Kan Nogi Hinomi, who is famous for not being afraid of death, is known to everyone, so naturally there is no need to introduce it.

Chief of Staff Kuroki Naizaki, who is wise and decisive, is good at attacking and advancing. He is not an ordinary person. Moreover, Kuroki Naizaki is much more skilled than Noki Kinomiya in terms of strategy and tactics, and is definitely a great enemy of the People's Liberation Army.

When Ye Lisson introduced, Chen Hao thought secretly: Japan actually sent two generals, Nogi Hinomi and Kuroki Weizhen. It seems that Japan's ambition to get the South China Sea is better than the mainland of China. No wonder shortly after the outbreak of World War II, Japan slowed down its attack on the shaky Chinese mainland and quickly sent troops to invade the entire Nanyang.

After Ye Lisen finished introducing the article, Chen Hao suddenly thought of something and asked Xia Xingyu, who was responsible for communicating with the Sino-Indian reorganization division: "Xingyu, this time, the Seventh Japanese Regiment has destroyed all the Japanese army. Why didn't their military flags be seized?"

Chen Hao was very interested in the precious Japanese wing flag.

According to Hattori Shiro's "Complete History of the Great East Asian War": "Since January 23, 1874, the first and second regiments of the Japanese Meiji Emperor personally awarded the military flag to the 1st and 2nd regiments of the Guard Infantry. Since then, the Emperor must personally award the military flag to the infantry and cavalry regiments organized by the Japanese army, which is the core of unity of the troops, and the spirit of the soldiers to the military flag is extremely comparable to the world."

The military flag was personally taught by the Emperor and was only owned by the established infantry and cavalry corps, so it is also called the corps flag.

According to the regulations of the Japanese Army, the military flag is organized, and the military flag is lost is organized. Therefore, the military flag is an important thing in the Japanese army. An excellent second lieutenant officer in the corps should be selected as the flag bearer, and a special flag guard squadron is set up to protect it.

Chen Hao once learned that the Japanese military flag was exactly the same as the Fengjie held by the diplomatic envoys in ancient China, and it was a very long string of chords. In traditional Chinese culture, that thing should not be called the military flag but the scepter.

In ancient China, when the army chief lost his scepter, he wanted to behead his head. Other tokens represent military power, and the scepter represents imperial power.

There is no difference in the flags of the Japanese army's regiments. The real difference is this scepter. In fact, strictly speaking, this military flag is Western, and in Chinese terms, it should be called a scepter.

Many movies and novels regard the flag as military flags, and it is not wrong. The rising sun flag is also called the military flag, but the one that shows its status is the scepter. The one that is really difficult to seize is also the scepter. When the Japanese gang was destroyed during World War II, the scepter was also burned.

Every infantry corps of the Japanese army has this kind of military flag. The military flag is a totem and also represents the army. The military flag disappears when it is gone. Each army must survive and die with the military flag. This kind of military flag has never been seized on the battlefield.

Japanese war novels] come. When the defeated troops burned the military flags, the Japanese army surrendered only command knives and no scepters. Therefore, the Japanese army did not hand over the military flags of any unit even if they were defeated. Now most Chinese people do not know that the Japanese army's military flags were like this.

When Xia Xingyu heard Chen Hao ask about the military flag, he replied helplessly: "Principal, the officers and soldiers of the China-Indian reorganization division had searched at that time, but only found the burned wing flags, but they did not find the scepter of the 7th wing. According to students' speculation, the commander of the Japanese wing was caught in a siege and could not escape, so he burned the scepter."

"Damn it, in this one-sided situation, the Japanese army's wing flag was not captured. It seems that in the future, the Japanese army's wing flag could only be seized by special operations." Chen Hao said gritting his teeth...
