Chapter 173: The Broken "Steel Knife"

After listening to Nakamura's words, the young health soldier cried.

The cannonball seemed to hear his cry, like an old saying on the battlefield, when you are afraid, death is already behind you.

Shells whizzed past the rooftops, and the explosions seemed to be getting closer, and the walls of the field clinic shook in the sound of the explosions.

Nakamura asked with great difficulty.

"Is the enemy attacking again?"

The young health soldier was worried that the chief would die like this, and said firmly:

"Sir, no matter what, I'm going to finish your operation."

As soon as he finished speaking, a mortar shell hit the house, blasting the gables and roof open, and shattered tiles, bricks, and dirt fell.

The military doctor holding a scalpel and the medical staff next to him covered Nakamura's open abdomen with their bodies and arms at the same time, but dust still fell inside.

Gunfire erupted around the field clinic, machine gun bullets hit the courtyard wall "whoosh", and the soldiers guarding the field clinic kept falling down at the gate of the compound.

The health soldier grabbed the 38 big cover leaning against the corner of the wall, and when he was about to rush out, Nakamura Masao stopped:

"Soldier, you can be my son according to your age, my country is no longer in Japan, I can't see the family I miss day and night, although I am a major general, you are only a junior soldier, but as a Japanese, the value of life should be like the blind mountain.

I can't do it anymore, you're still very young, don't go to dangerous places for me, you have to pay attention, you must return to Japan as soon as possible......"

When a man is about to die, his words are good.

Nakamura Masao didn't have the strength to go any further, but he had clearly realized that he couldn't conquer this land as an invasion.

With tears in his eyes, the health soldier choked up:

"Don't worry, sir."

The health soldier rushed out of the courtyard gate, raised three or eight shots and was about to shoot at the ** people who rushed into the courtyard, but before he could shoot, he was shot and fell.

Immediately afterwards, all the medical personnel in the field clinic took up their weapons and rushed out one after another, but all of them were hit by bullets......

The frantic counterattack of the Japanese army made the soldiers of the 9th platoon of the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the Honorary 1st Division, who were the commandos, even more crazy.

This field hospital must have been an important figure that Japan cared about.

Nowadays, it is difficult to determine the trend of the battlefield, and killing an adjutant can dominate the gains and losses of a position.

The posture of this hospital is not an adjutant.

Then there is at least one wing captain in it.

After paying more than 30 lives, they died unaware that they were only 20 meters away from killing Nakamura Masao.

The Japanese soldiers defended their commander, and the operation was carried out in a hail of bullets and did not be completed until 20:30 p.m.

At 5:18 the next day, when the morning light from the east shimmered on the Kunlun Pass, Nakamura Masao, commander of the 21st Brigade of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army, closed his eyes helplessly.

This "saber", which was considered invincible in Japan, broke in front of the Kuncang Pass.

The Japanese often used broken jade to indicate death in battle, and the news of Nakamura's death was directly placed on the desk of the Japanese emperor.

It was also put on the major newspapers, and when the Asahi Shimbun of Japan made the announcement, China was in a state of cheers.

Zhang Ziwen was bitter in his heart, the death of a Japanese general was such a sensation.

How many generals have been killed in China today, if not a hundred, but fifty.

Has anyone ever remembered them, remembered the blood they shed for China?

After the Rong 1st Division cleaned the battlefield on the high ground at the southern end of Luotang, Zheng Dongguo directly sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek.

The telegram was not made public until later generations.

To Chongqing, Chairman Jiang: 5012 secrets.

On the 18th, the enemy 5th Division besieged Qiankunlun Pass, and fought fiercely for seven days and nights.

In particular, the highlands at the southern end of Luotang are the strongest fortresses of the enemy.

At 19 o'clock, after two hours of hand-to-hand combat, he was defeated, killing more than 10 enemy officers and commanders, more than 200 soldiers, and capturing four heavy machine guns, more than 10 light machine guns, and dozens of rifles, and the rest of the items were being investigated.

This is the enemy's fatal point line, and it is not difficult to completely annihilate it, and he is Zheng Dongguo. Jinghai, cf. 2. Stamp. ”

When the air raid sirens in Chongqing were lifted, Kai-shek had just finished dinner.

Dinner was eaten in the air raid room, and for days his appetite was not good, so he only drank some chicken soup and ate a little rice.

As soon as he walked out of the air raid room, the attendant staff officer sent a telegram from Zheng Dongguo.

"Jia Yan is good, he didn't let me down,"

Chiang Kai-shek was overjoyed. This Zheng Dongguo is a native of Shimen, Hunan, and is a student of his first phase of Whampoa.

He fought bravely in the Eastern Crusade and the Northern Expedition, and was also a subordinate that Chiang Kai-shek was proud of.

Chiang Kai-shek happily believed that this time he was right to transfer the Fifth Army, and as the principal, the students fought for him face

。 He said to himself proudly: "To raise the prestige of our army, only Huangpu is the only one who is not even, and only the Huangpu is served." ”

Chiang Kai-shek said to his attendant staff:

"Call Zheng Dongguo back immediately, I want to reward him."

The attendant staff officer said: "Commission, it is not appropriate for you to personally send a telegram to a division commander, right?" ”

The words of the attendant swept Chiang Kai-shek's excitement, and he looked ugly:

"You know, I have a reason for this.

In the past, Wu Qi was a general, and he personally sucked succumbing for the soldiers, and the pawn's mother cried when she found out, and others asked her, your son is a pawn, and there are generals who suck poisonous sores with his mouth, why do you still cry?

The soldier's mother said: You don't know, in the past, General Wu had sucked sores on the soldier's father, and his father fought the battlefield until he died, and today, the general is sucking sores for my son, and I don't know where he is going to die.

If I don't do this, can my Whampoa generals fight hard for me? ”

The attendant staff nodded again and again:

"The commission is wise, not only can be a general, but also a good general.

Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, up and down for thousands of years, omniscient, omniscient......"

Chiang Kai-shek scolded with a smile:

"If you don't learn and don't know, you can't be edified."

The attendant staff nodded yes, and the message from the referral stone reads:

"The front line of Kunlun Pass was handed over to Zheng Shichang Dongguo: Jinghai Shener telegraphed. Dense. The gains and losses of Kunlun Pass have a huge impact on the fighters in Nanning. The division fought fiercely for seven days and nights, and the key points were overlooked, and it was seen that the division commander gave good guidance, and the soldiers used their lives to reward them.

We still have the same spirit and look forward to destroying the stubborn enemy and completing the task. Chuan, Zhongzheng"

Chiang Kai-shek also said to his attendants:

"Order the Air Force to strengthen support for the ground forces on the front line in Guinan, and stop throwing bombs into the sea and primeval forests."

December 25th.

6:45 a.m.

Three CB bombers of the Fagin Brigade, carrying 12 50-kilogram bombs and 49 10-kilogram bombs, took off from the Qiutang Military Airport and were ordered to fly to Jiutang to fight directly and in coordination with the Fifth Army. After nearly two hours of flight, the Fagin brigade arrived over Jiutang at 8:55 a.m.

Looking down from the plane, clouds of smoke drift through the mountains and forests from time to time.

The navigator carefully searched for signals on the ground and did not find them for a long time. I didn't dare to stay too long, and I couldn't do anything more about throwing bombs into the primeval forest.

The long plane thought about it and simply went to bomb Nanning, so the long plane ordered the two wingmen to blow up together, and the three planes flew directly to Nanning.
