Chapter 168

Zhang Ziwen could only shake his head and instructed Lu Wenqing to find a pair of pants for the major general.

"Captain Zhang, right?"

Zhang Ziwen nodded with a smile.

"The young man standing there just can't hold his breath,......"

Qiu Qingquan is not the only one who likes to teach young people.

Zheng Dongguo's sleeve of his military uniform was cut by shrapnel, and as for the real situation, he didn't know very well, he said regretfully:

"I wore this military uniform most appropriately, and when I got married, if I hadn't been reminded by others, I would have worn this military uniform into the cave room.

Qin Weiya immediately revealed his shortcomings:

"Shizuo, you probably didn't get promoted to Shizuo when you got married, how can you have this military uniform?"

Zheng Dongguo squinted, turned his head and laughed:

"You know a fart, look at your military uniform, and then look at my military uniform, except for the collar badge, what is the difference?"

Dai Anlan's military uniform, at first glance, is a little taller than that of military commander Du Yuming, perhaps because he always holds his waist straight.

When the 653 Heights were in full swing, he was feverish, and when he unbuckled his belt, the staff officers found that only three of the five buttons on his military uniform remained.

A stiff waist and an armed belt, no one can see it.

Dai Anlan also loves to be clean, and pats the dust on his military uniform from time to time. When he re-tied his belt, he said:

"When the Japanese are finished, I have to buy a set of 'Pei Lemeng' suits."

"Commander, you must look good in a suit."

"That's it, I'll buy you a set when I go back, and I'll introduce you to a daughter-in-law."

The guard blushed.

At dusk on the 23rd, the 1st Battalion of the 598th Regiment engaged the enemy dozens of hand-to-hand fights, and finally rushed to the Japanese position that was fighting to the death at sunset.

According to the first squadron of the 4th Squadron of the Japanese Army, which was guarding the first line of Triangle Mountain at the northern end, the officers and soldiers below the rank of second lieutenant of the squadron leader Otter Chang were all killed, and only then did they occupy the Triangle Mountain Heights.

There were also very few platoon-level officers left in the battalion.

Du Yuming obtained an accurate figure: Since the attack order was issued, the number of casualties of the Rong 1st Division and the 2,000th Division had exceeded 2,000. Such a cruel number of cruel numbers is unprecedented in the history of his conquest, and it is also under the premise that Kunlun Pass is still in the hands of the Japanese army.

The day of the 23rd, for the Japanese army, was no less cruel.

The troops of Masao Nakamura, who had come to reinforce him, were blocked at Qitangkou. Nakamura Masao was wearing a halberd steel helmet, wearing a major general's tweed uniform, and rushed to the front with a command knife in his hand, and his soldiers were inspired by his fearless spirit and rushed towards Qitangkou like a tide behind him.

Masao Nakamura kept waving his command knife and shouting "forward".

Suddenly, Nakamura Masao's body was one, his left cheek was hit by a bullet, the bullet went in, and the rest was still exposed, Nakamura touched it with his hand, grinning his teeth, he pulled out the bullet with his own hands, Nakamura, whose face was covered with blood, stopped, asked the health guard to treat his wound urgently, and his cheek was wrapped in a bandage, and continued to lead the team to charge.

Tang Song put the scope into Nakamura again, but unfortunately there was no chance to make a move.

Nakamura knew in his heart that if he couldn't break through the squadron's defense line, Kunlun Pass would be difficult to say.

When he led his troops forward, he did not expect that the squadron defense line in front of him would be so difficult to pass.

He went crazy and rushed to the front of the line hysterically.

"Report, Miki Daisa called."

Nakamura Masao half-squatted in a depression, the command knife was propped up on the ground, and the guards on the side surrounded him, and Tang Song gave up.

"Hurry up."

At this moment, the commander of the Japanese army at Kunlun Pass and Jiutang, Miki Yoshinorib Osa, had already ordered all the combat documents to be burned and all the military flags were burned, and his troops could no longer hold on, and he himself replaced the machine gunners, and on his front and flanks, there were gunfire and shouts of killing everywhere, and at 13:30 p.m., he sent a telegram to Major General Nakamura Masao and the chief of staff of the brigade:

"Our unit has run out of ammunition and food, the soldiers have picked up the fallen ears and weeds in the fields to satisfy their hunger, the mortar squadron has buried the artillery in the ground, and all of them are fighting with guns sharpened from bamboo, and the grain can be stopped from being airdropped, and the most urgent request is to reinforce and replenish ammunition for the first line.

If the brigade does not arrive before evening, it will be difficult to secure the first line."

After listening to the telegram, the commander of the Nakamura Masao Brigade held the command knife tightly in his hand, covered his cheek with great pain with one hand, and asked:

"What time is it?" “

Report to the brigade commander, 14:55. ”

"Call back."

Masao Nakamura dictated the message:

"1. The detachment decided to set out from the area north of Qitang on the night of the 23rd, forcibly break through the high ground west of the road, and advance near Qitang;

2. The 21st Infantry Wing should secure Jiutang, wait for the arrival of the brigade, and ensure the vicinity of Batang as a last resort. “

After Nakamura finished dictating the message, he swung his knife forward.

He felt the pain and his eyes were black, but he did not stop, the might of the imperial army must not be swept away here. The gauze on his face was constantly spilling blood, and he couldn't care much more.

Kunlun Pass was in danger, reinforcements were blocked and could not pass, and the losses were huge. The headquarters of the Nanning occupation army, the commander of the Imamura Jun Division, issued an urgent order to his troops:

"The Hechuan detachment in Longzhou must overcome all difficulties and rush to Nanning day and night, and the division has decided to fight the enemy to the death near Jiutang."

At the same time, the commander of the Yantian Brigade of the Taiwan Brigade stationed in Qinzhou also quickly dispatched two brigades under the command of the wing commander to the front line, and the Ito Brigade of the 11th Infantry Wing immediately rushed to Nanning in 105 cars in the starry night.

When the convoy marched to the narrow section of Xichangxu, about 60 kilometers west of Nanning, it was ambushed by the 97th Division of Fu Zhongfang's 99th Army, which had been waiting for a long time.

The long convoy was blocked on the road and became a target for the 92nd Division.

The soldiers of the Yi Knee Brigade jumped out of the car, used the body as cover to return fire, and fell into a bitter battle.

After receiving the report, Imamura immediately ordered the only 2nd Brigade of the 11th Infantry Wing, Toyoji Muta, to command two infantry squadrons and two machine gun squads to go forward to respond. They had only advanced 30 kilometers from Nanning and were also blocked.

As soon as the Ito brigade moved, it was entangled by Fu Zhongfang's troops, and it could not move, and the vehicles and personnel suffered heavy losses.

Imamura feared that if the Kuomintang army cut off all reinforcements, his troops would be left alone in the Guinan Battlefield.

However, for a while, there was no best way to solve the crisis.

The Japanese army could not move for a while, and it was difficult to move an inch.

At this time, Imamura Jun realized that the Chinese had already penetrated behind him.

A few years ago, the Fifth Army was just a conspicuous signboard.

Imamura broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately telegraphed all the troops to quickly carry out the order, gather troops, and wait for reinforcements.

Du Luming summed up the results of the station and found that in the past few days, the Fifth Army, which was responsible for the main attack on the front line of Kunlun Pass, had frequently attacked, with little effect and no small cost.

Du Yuming decided to convene a meeting of officers at and above the division level at the headquarters of the Nantiancun Army to review the mistakes, analyze and study the causes, and readjust the organization of the offensive.
