Chapter 185: The Last Day

Kunlun Pass was recovered, and the news was transmitted to different people through various channels.

It was 12 noon on the last day of 193.

The first thing Du Luming did after he was excited was to call Chiang Kai-shek.

"Fu Bosheng, call the chairman.

Limited to one hour.

Chairman Jiang Junjian: Secret.

Since the enemy invaded on December 3, it has used the high ground and passes to build a strong fortress, and all the 42nd Wing of the 5th Division and the 2nd Brigade of the 21st Wing, which is known as the steel sword, have 78 guns and 2 chariot defense guns as garrisons.

This army first supplemented the 1st and 2nd regiments with the new 22nd Division and the Fifth Army, and went straight out of Wutang, Liutang, and Batang from the enemy's flanks to cut off the enemy's communications and communications, and on the 18th at various places in Wutang, Liutang, and Batang, it pinned down the main force of the 41st Wing, which had been allocated by the enemy, so that it could not join the Kunlun Pass side.

Ling Rong's 1st Division and 200 Divisions attacked from the front.

After more than ten days of fierce attacks, this time there were more than 20 fortified fortresses.

However, the enemy was still trapped and defended Kunlun Pass, and the division was surrounded and attacked from the front.

After more than ten days of fierce attacks, this time there were more than 20 fortified fortresses.

However, the enemy is still trapped in the northern data point of Kunlun Pass, and is waiting to be disturbed.

The 99th Army also reached Qitang to block the enemy's northward advance.

In order to attack Kunlun Pass in one fell swoop, this army transferred the new 22nd Division and the 1st and 24th regiments of the army supplementary regiment to the reinforced front.

On the morning of the 31st, he concentrated his forces and continued the onslaught, and by 11:50 a.m. today, he had completely occupied Kunlun Pass, entered and exited the line of the 441 Heights and the 6 Cities, and the enemy retreated to the positions of 9 and 8 Ponds.

This army plans to reorganize a little, that is, to continue to attack the enemy at Batang and Jiutang. In addition to the casualties, losses and captures separately reported in detail, I would like to send a telegram to the news, Gao Dog Ridge.

The commander of the Fifth Army, Du Yuming, knocked. Shishen. Cf. II, India. ”

The telegram was transmitted to Chongqing through special channels.

Bai Chongxi fell asleep on the sofa in the office in the early morning.

There were still two pieces on the chessboard, and he was so sleepy that he slept until noon.

Although he slept for a while, his spirit was not relaxed.

After Bai Chongxi woke up, the adjutant told him that there was no news from Kunlun Pass. He walked into the small dining room for lunch sullenly.

Bai Chongxi had already prepared the worst equipment, and was thinking about what he would do after the Japanese army was interspersed and encircled.

Whether to mobilize Zhang Fakui's forces to counterattack from the east, or to gather troops.

After breaking through, the defense line was built directly on the front line of Binyang.

At the very least, it is necessary to keep the guests and the first line of Guilin.

Maintain the last big rear of China.

The rice didn't taste at all, and the best stewed pig's trotters were not finished.

When the meal was about to be finished, the attendant staff officer broke into the dining room in a hurry.

"Director, telegram, telegram from Commander Du."

Du Luming sent the first telegram to Chiang Kai-shek, and the second to Bai Chongxi, the director of the Guilin camp, who commanded the battle.

Bai Chongxi threw away the chopsticks, snatched the telegram, read it in one breath, and took a long breath.

"Bring me wine."

Bai Chongxi drank wine and gnawed the remaining pig's trotters clean.

After returning to his office and inquiring about the details of the war situation, he sat down at his desk, thought for a moment, and drafted a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek and Army Chief He Yingqin:

"Secret. According to the Fifth Army report: Our army's counterattack on Kunlun Pass was proved by the enemy's documents, and more than 20 of the enemy's wing commanders, including Miki Yoshinosuke, and his subordinate lieutenants, were killed, making a total of 44 generals of the wing.

The enemy's diary admitted that the strong fighting strength that China had not encountered since it entered the war had caused heavy casualties......"

Writing this, Bai Chongxi couldn't help but pause for a moment, and sincerely felt that the mechanized troops of the Fifth Army were indeed powerful, and the hope for victory against Japan in the future lay in this.

He couldn't help but think of Chiang's request to transfer Jia's troops to Guangxi at the beginning of the campaign, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Only then did he know that the Gui troops were no longer able to compete with the central lineage, and if so, he didn't know what the battle situation would be, and the Bagui disciples didn't know how many people would throw their bodies on the battlefield.

Thinking of this, he called to inquire about the casualties of the Fifth Army.

Soon, a report on the casualties of the Fifth Army of the Chinese Army in the Battle of Kunlun Pass was placed on Bai Chongxi's desk. That's a staggering set of numbers.

Honorary 1st Division of the Fifth Army: 42 officers killed and 128 wounded: warrant officers and enlisted men 952 killed and 2,320 wounded.

200 divisions of the Fifth Army: 29 officers killed and 68 wounded; Warrant officers and soldiers were killed and 770 wounded and 2 wounded (except for the number of dead and wounded in the Battle of Nanning)

the newly formed 22nd Division of the Fifth Army; 42 officers were killed and 53 were wounded: warrant officers and enlisted men were 1,185 killed.

All officers killed: 123, 265 wounded; 5,560 soldiers killed; 10,847 people were injured.

The total number of casualties was 16,795, and the whole army participated in the battle about 40,000, and the death toll accounted for more than three floors.

After reading it, Bai Chongxi shuddered, it was shocking that such a well-trained mechanized ace army had paid such a heavy price.

Bai Chongxi was speechless for a long time, although the Fifth Army was Chiang Kai-shek's descendant, but those Chinese soldiers and civilian children who stained the battlefield with blood and life in this anti-aggression battle proved their loyalty to the Chinese nation.

After the cold air from Siberia crossed the South Ridge, the forward reached the coastal area.

Tonight was the "coldest night" for the Japanese invading army.

The cold felt mentally outweighs the cold.

Both officers and soldiers of the Japanese army, as long as the Japanese soldiers who participated in the battle of Kunlun Pass, left an extremely terrible impression on the officers and men of the Fifth Army of the Chinese Kuomintang Army, who launched countless strong attacks without regard for themselves.

In the days of the retreat of the Japanese army, many people, from officers to soldiers, often woke up in nightmares, and the large knives of the Chinese native soldiers were slashing at their heads......

It was also after the Battle of Kunlun Pass that many Japanese understood that they would never be able to win this war against China. They understood that whether it was the Kuomintang or their soldiers in the battle to defend the motherland, everyone was a dragon, and the group combination of the Chinese nation was a giant dragon!

On the desk of Toshiyoshi Ando, the South China Command of the Japanese Army, UU Reading Books .et also has a military intelligence report.

Major General Nakamura Masao, commander of the 12th Brigade of the campaign, Yoshinosuke Osa, commander of the 21st Wing, and important officers below 41 people, more than 4,000 soldiers were killed in the battle, and about 2,000 were wounded......

Lieutenant General Toshikichi Ando said something meaningful.

"Fighting in China, when you run out of bullets in your machine gun, you will be hacked to death with a broadsword......"

Lu Wenqing is doing the same thing, that is, slashing people with a big knife.

It was the rebels who had defected to the Japanese army during the month.

The Fifth Army came with an order to surrender directly to the Chinese rebels.

But Zhang Ziwen directly reported that there were no prisoners.

Public shooting is a slap in the face of the Fifth Army, which can only be killed secretly.

Bloody? Nor did they leave a hand on the battlefield.
