Chapter 393: Fierce Soldiers at Kunlun Pass (Page 1/1)

Kunlun Pass, located in the northeast of Nanning, is a strategic place on the periphery of Nanning, can capture Binyang when entering, and can contain Nanning when retreating, and it is an important place for soldiers to fight for since ancient times.

Kunlun Pass is formed by many highlands and passes, the most important is three highlands, 653 highlands in the east, 445 and 441 highlands in the west, and Luotang, 603 and other highlands, which are also important places, these highlands, are the core of Kunlun Pass's garrison.

The headquarters of the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army, after continuous attacks, occupied the Kunlun Pass and its nearby positions, Nanning was behind, Kunlun Pass was in front, and the Japanese troops occupying Kunlun Pass had become a sharp knife piercing the Guinan area, and it was also a salient part.

On December 17, at noon, on the main peak of Kunlun Pass, the 653rd highland.

Groups of Japanese soldiers were reinforcing the fortifications, and many observers used binoculars and artillery scopes to condescendingly look down the Kunlun Pass.

On the heights of Kunlun Pass, the Japanese army has built complete field fortifications, concealment departments, and trenches.

The highlands and defense areas are connected with each other and cooperate with each other to form a complete mountain defense system.

"Report to Your Excellency Shaozuo, the search team has found the Chinese army again at the pass, there are about thirty people!" A Japanese second lieutenant in a cool hat trotted over, and next to him was a major officer who was observing the defense.

"Well, continue to observe, report the situation at any time, and the radio station should keep in touch with the division headquarters and brigade headquarters in the Nanning direction at any time."

Officer Shaozo put down his binoculars and sighed lightly, his face full of worry, this person was none other than the supreme commander of the Kunlun Pass garrison, Matsumoto Sozaburo Shaozo.

The main force of the Fifth Division and the 21st Brigade was near Nanning, in order to control the Binning Highway and strengthen the defense, Matsumoto Sozaburo Shaozo was ordered to lead the troops to the north, occupied Kunlun Pass, built fortifications, and strengthened the defense, Matsumoto naturally became the commander-in-chief of the Kunlun Pass garrison, Matsumoto Sozaburo has been observing the situation at the pass, and sent search troops to repeatedly reconnoiter the situation at the pass.

His garrison, which is also his capital, is based on the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the 42nd Wing, and has strengthened a rapid-fire artillery squadron of the 42nd Wing, a mountain artillery squadron of the 2nd Independent Mountain Artillery Brigade, a mortar squadron transferred from the Independent Mortar Brigade, and an engineer squadron, with a total of more than 1,000 defenders.

Sosaburo Matsumoto wants to use these forces at hand to hold the Kunlun Pass position, which is a force that is not too much, and it is not too much, but the burden on him is really not small.

Kunlun Pass is north of Nanning, the main force of the Fifth Division is concentrated in Nanning, Matsumoto's Kunlun Pass garrison is the outermost Japanese army, but also the most prominent Japanese army, as an officer with rich command experience, how can Matsumoto not know the importance of Kunlun Pass, the responsibility is heavy, and the danger factor is greater.

His men had just completed the construction a few days earlier, and the Chinese army had been spotted at the pass of Kunlun Pass, and it was every day, and Matsumoto, who had been in a state of tension, did not dare to take it lightly. As if there was some tacit understanding between the two sides, no one fired first.

Sozaburo Matsumoto told his troops to be careful and strengthen their defense, and at the same time to keep in touch with the main force of the brigade in Nanning.

"The order goes down, mountain artillery, rapid-fire artillery, and mortar artillery are tightly divided into firing boundaries, and the passes and roads must be blocked." With the mentality that the more the merrier, Sozaburo Matsumoto once again gave the order to strengthen the defense, and these artillery pieces were undoubtedly the most useful weapons in his hands.

In his garrison, there were a total of six Type 94 37mm rapid-fire guns, four Type 41 75mm mountain guns, and six Type 97 70mm mortars, and Matsumoto had fought many times with the Chinese army, and he knew what this firepower meant to the Chinese army that lacked artillery fire.

"Yes!" The communications lieutenant beside him took the trouble to accept this order that had been given many times.

The pass of Kunlun Pass is extremely quiet.

It presents an atmosphere that is just the opposite of the approaching war, and it is this oppressive and quiet atmosphere that makes Matsumoto feel uneasy, and the momentum of the previous consecutive victories has also been worn out in this strange atmosphere.

Under the Kunlun Pass, the Japanese opponents were also observing them.

"Report to the captain, after the reconnaissance is completed, there are devils on the high ground on the right and lower right, there are heavy weapons, we didn't dare to stick too close, the troops are not clear, there are fortifications on it."

In the vegetation under the Kunlun Pass, Zhang Wei, like Sozaburo Matsumoto, held a telescope, fully armed, and held a topographic map and pencil in his hand.

Lying down in the vegetation, he listened to Qiu Wei, the leader of the first squadron beside him, report on the military situation of the reconnaissance.

After the expedited transportation, all three infantry divisions, one chariot regiment, one cavalry regiment, three reinforced artillery battalions, and battalion-level units directly under the corps rushed to the Kunlun Pass to be on standby for battle.

As soon as the troops arrived, the Fifth Army ordered to begin reconnaissance of the enemy's situation, and finally unified the summarization, synthesized the information of the Central Military Commission, and drew up an operational plan for the whole army; the military headquarters and all divisions sent troops to reconnoiter the deployment of the Japanese army, and the reconnaissance task of the new 22 nd Division was handed over to Zhang Wei's teaching brigade.

Zhang Wei took a platoon to reconnoiter in front of the Kunlun Pass every day.

"This little devil is also a goblin, and he has a face to face with us, and he doesn't shoot or move." Qiu Wei said.

These days, the reconnaissance units of the divisions, no matter how they moved, did not engage the Japanese troops.

Zhang Wei chuckled: "Hmph, after so many days of reconnaissance, the devils have already discovered us, and the reconnaissance troops of the friendly army must have also revealed their stuffing." ”

Not only the New 22nd Division, but other divisions and armies have sent reconnaissance troops, and with so many people scouting, with the degree of precaution of the Japanese army, it is impossible to be unaware.

"Leave!"

Zhang Wei finished marking on the map, and quickly led people out of Kunlun Pass, the reconnaissance over the past few days has basically ended, this kind of reconnaissance, the reconnaissance is the Japanese army's deployment, where to deploy, where not to deploy.

As for how many troops? What is the specific firepower system? I'm sorry, I can't see it, the Japanese are not stupid, they won't let you judge the number of troops with the naked eye, and if you see it, it's just a few trenches and Ming Castles that can't see the configuration of troops.

The mountain defense situation that can be seen with the naked eye will not last long when attacked.

According to the reconnaissance results analyzed by his subordinates and himself, Zhang Wei could confirm that all the highlands on the main peak of Kunlun Pass were all defended by Japanese troops, and none of the highlands and key points were let go by them.

On the first day of the investigation, Zhang Wei was still very excited, how could he not be excited that he was about to be involved in this famous battle.

But after a few days, he realized that he really couldn't detect too many details, and the investigation operation was a bit boring.

But he is confident that in the upcoming big war, because of his existence, the Japanese will shed more blood, and the more than 800 people in the teaching brigade will bring greater casualties to the Japanese army!
