You were tasked with guarding the Sihang Warehouse, and you brought out a Tiger tank?

"Oh no, they're going to burn something."

Although Xu Fei didn't know what was in the wooden box, his intuition as a veteran told him.

When the Japanese were facing a desperate situation, what they were willing to burn at all costs was definitely an extremely important treasure.

"Don't let them set it on fire, kill them."

Xu Fei roared anxiously and decisively opened fire with his submachine gun.

"Da da da—!"

The submachine gunners behind them also opened fire simultaneously in unison.

A dense hail of bullets instantly swept over like a net of fire, turning the Japanese soldiers guarding the flag into sieves, their flesh and blood flying everywhere.

The Japanese officer holding the lighter was hit by several bullets in the chest, and blood gushed out.

He stared wide-eyed with extreme resentment, then collapsed into a pool of blood. The lighter fell to the side with a "clink," unlit.

Xu Fei rushed forward, kicked aside the Japanese soldier's corpse, and snatched the ornate wooden box stained with blood.

The wooden box was heavy and carved with extremely intricate cherry blossom patterns.

With a "click," Xu Fei eagerly opened the wooden box.

Inside, there lay a neatly folded Rising Sun flag.

"flag?"

Xu Fei was stunned for a moment, then reached out, picked up the flag, and unfolded it to take a look.

The flag is the common Japanese flag, but with an extra ring of purple stripes around it, also known as tassels.

On the lower right edge of the flag, there is a blank space with several traditional Chinese characters embroidered in gold thread in the middle: "21st Infantry Regiment".

"Damn it, the regimental flag?!"

Xu Fei, being a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy, naturally understood the value of this thing.

This is the Japanese devils' lifeline; it was personally bestowed upon them by their damned Emperor.

As long as the people are there, the flag will remain; if the flag is destroyed, the organization will be disbanded.

He finally understood why those Japanese soldiers outside had risked their lives to dig through the ruins.

A regimental flag is definitely a huge fish.

He just got lucky and managed to wipe out the headquarters of the Japanese 21st Regiment in one fell swoop.

Throughout the entire Great Xia battlefield, since the start of the war.

Only their own corps commander, Lin Feng, had captured a complete Japanese regimental flag when he led his men in a battle in Qibao Town, Shanghai.

That incident made Lin Feng and his troops famous throughout China and shocked the world.

Now, Xu Fei, a mere infantry company commander, has actually captured a complete regimental flag.

My goodness, this achievement is so great it could rip the sky apart!

"Quickly, search carefully for the body of a Japanese colonel!"

Xu Fei was so excited that his face turned red, and he shouted loudly.

"Company commander! Company commander! Come quick, look here!"

Just as Xu Fei was trembling with excitement, a platoon leader shouted anxiously from under a pile of heavy rubble.

"Another unexpected bonus?"

Xu Fei quickly folded the regimental flag, carefully tucked it into his arms, placed it close to his body, and ran over quickly.

A platoon leader and several soldiers were seen struggling to move an extremely thick, charred crossbeam.

Beneath the crossbeam lay the bodies of two Japanese officers.

The Japanese major staff officer above had his brains smashed open and was completely dead, but even in his dying moments, he maintained an extremely rigid posture, protecting the man beneath him.

The old Japanese soldier he was desperately protecting beneath him, though covered in blood and in a terrible state, was still breathing weakly, clearly still alive.

"Damn, he's got a tough life."

Xu Fei roughly grabbed the old Japanese soldier by the collar and dragged him out of the ruins like a dead dog.

When Xu Fei saw the rank insignia on the old Japanese soldier's shoulder.

His eyes widened instantly, like copper bells, and he even stopped breathing.

On the square gold background, a dazzling golden five-pointed star is set off.

Major general.

This is a living Japanese major general.

Damn it, Xu Fei was completely shocked.

I thought capturing a Japanese regimental flag was the biggest catch, but then another major general popped up.

This is a real big fish!

It seems he was wrong; this Confucius Temple was not the headquarters of the Japanese 21st Regiment at all.

Rather, it was the higher-level brigade command.

The half-dead major general in front of me must be the Japanese brigade commander.

"Search them, quickly!"

Xu Fei's hands were trembling as he groped around on the old Japanese soldier's body.

He quickly pulled a military officer's ID card from the old Japanese soldier's inner pocket.

The text above is all in Chinese characters, which Xu Fei can understand.

It was Major General Jun Sakamoto, commander of the 21st Infantry Brigade.

"hiss--"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers who had gathered around all gasped in shock, then burst into suppressed exclamations.

excited.

ecstasy.

They captured Japanese Major General Jun Sakamoto alive.

This is the highest-ranking Japanese general captured alive by the Great Xia army since the start of the war.

The soldiers started talking all at once, their eyes shining.

"Company commander, our company is really going to shine this time."

"Congratulations, Company Commander! You're definitely going to get promoted and make a fortune now."

"Company commander, if you're eating meat, you have to make sure the brothers have some soup too. It's like the chickens and dogs ascending to heaven!"

"Go away, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Although Xu Fei was overjoyed, he remained rational.

He suddenly waved his hand, silencing the crowd.

Outside, the sounds of intense gunfire continued to echo, and even the earth trembled.

Since this is the headquarters of the Japanese brigade, once the Japanese soldiers on the periphery realize what's happening, they will definitely rush here like mad dogs.

They attempted to rescue their command post.

Don't stay here for long.

"Shut up, all of you! We're not out of danger yet."

Xu Fei's eyes sharpened, and he quickly issued the order:

"First platoon leader, find a rope and tie this old Japanese devil's hands behind his back."

"Find a rag and gag him, so he won't wake up halfway and yell, attracting the Japanese soldiers."

"Company commander, where are the rags? There's mud and water everywhere." The platoon leader scratched his head.

"Idiot! Take off your shoes!"

Xu Fei slapped the back of a row of people on the head.

The platoon leader suddenly realized what was happening, plopped down in the mud, and ripped off his tattered sock, which hadn't been washed for days and was covered in a hard crust.

That smell was even more intoxicating than poison gas.

The platoon leader pinched his nose and unceremoniously shoved the biological weapon into Sakamoto Jun's mouth.

"Waaaaah..."

Sakamoto Jun, who had just been awakened by the pain, suddenly widened his eyes and almost fainted from the pungent smell. He rolled his eyes and passed out again.

"Find two of your strongest brothers to carry him."

Xu Fei raised his submachine gun and shouted:

"All personnel, return via the same route, and withdraw."

As Xu Fei rushed out of the ruins of the Confucius Temple, he immediately sensed that the battle outside had reached a fever pitch.

The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder and the stench of burning human flesh.

The distant explosions rang out in unison, making one's eardrums ache.

Xu Fei hid behind a section of broken wall, poking his head out to look around.
