At 19:15, almost all the more than 200 Japanese defenders were wiped out, and when the last two machine gunners, Masaharu Higashii and Katsunosumu Konishi, once again raised the white flag and drilled out of the last bunker, the soldiers of the second platoon of the second battalion rushed up together and picked up their broadswords. "There is a heavy reward for catching them alive!" Lu Hanqing, the leader of the platoon, shouted and rushed forward. But the soldiers of the second platoon couldn't care much anymore, and shouted: "I don't want the ocean, I want to avenge our platoon commander!" With a slash, the blood on the chest of Masaharu Kurii, who was walking in front, gushed out. He then slashed at Katsuyuki Konishi, who was walking behind, and Konishi was suddenly paralyzed with fright, his body turned away, and the knife slashed on his shoulder, and immediately rolled on the ground like a wolf. If it weren't for the fact that the platoon commander Lu stopped quickly, Konishi Katsuyuki Jinjun would have been hacked to death.

"Let me kill him, I must kill him!" The platoon commander hugged the soldier who was crying and shouting, and ordered loudly: "You have to leave a living mouth to understand the situation, this is an order!" "What a fucking order, we died so many people, he did it, what a fucking order, woo woo woo ......" The platoon commander hugged the soldier tightly and cried, and all the soldiers in the second platoon also cried. When friendly troops came up to help clean up the battlefield, the platoon commander asked the friendly troops to send Katsuyuki Konishi and Masaharu Higashii to the military headquarters on stretchers. Higashii Masaji was too badly injured and bleeding too much, and he lost his breath halfway.

Katsuyuki Konishi became the only one alive. Katsuyuki Konishi was also in a coma due to excessive blood loss. The lieutenant general's harmonica in his arms was confiscated. At the field clinic of the military headquarters, the military doctor gave him plasma transfusions and treated him. When he woke up, he was terrified, and it seemed as if a large blade was shaking in front of him. He asked the interpreter standing next to him, "Will I be shot?" No," the interpreter sternly told him: "But you will be judged as an aggressor." ”

Katsuyuki Konishi closed his eyes and muttered, "I want to go home...... I want to eat...... "When Commander Du Yuming heard that a prisoner had been captured, he immediately instructed him to treat him seriously and protect him strictly. When Konishi woke up, Du Yuming sent an operational staff officer to ask for a confession and learn more about the situation of the Japanese troops in the main peak position of Kunlun Pass. After Konishi Katsunojin finished eating rice, he was taken to a military tent and interrogated.

The following is the interrogation statement of Katsunoshin Konishi:

Q: "Your name, age, place of origin, military status, and former occupation?" Answer: "My name is Katsunosumu Konishi, I am 23 years old, I am from Hiroshima City, I graduated from high school in six years, and I drove a steamer before I joined the army. Asked: "Your relatives, the date of capture, the place of capture, the injuries you were injured?" Answer: "My parents are here, nine brothers, and the date of capture is December 24, in the Luotang Heights of Kunlun Guan, and the right shoulder was slashed with a big knife. Ask: "Where do you belong to the army, class, and where do you come from?" Answer: "I belong to the 1st Squadron of the 3rd Brigade of the 21st Wing, with the rank of 1st class light machine gunner, and in October this year our unit assembled near Guangzhou, then moved to Beihai, attacked Nanning, and later captured Kunlun Pass. Question: "Explain the strength of the Japanese army on the Jiutang side of Kunlun Pass." Answer: "There are two brigades of the 41st Wing, one brigade of the 21st Wing, one squadron of artillery (with four guns), and one squadron of cavalry, and the 42nd Wing is also near Jiutang. ”……

Katsuyuki Konishi answered questions one by one, and at this time he was also carefully observing the Chinese soldiers who interrogated him. He discovered that one of the interrogators resembled one of his fellows on a steamer in Hiroshima. If the Chinese and the Japanese do not talk and sit together and wear the same clothes, it is probably difficult to distinguish, is it really the same ancestor? Konishi was thinking. Du Yuming read the prisoner's confession, and then said to the combat staff officer: "The information provided by Konishi Katsunojin is valuable, and the enemy who is fighting our head is indeed two brigades of the 42nd Wing of the Fifth Division and one brigade of the 20th Wing, and there are also four hidden heavy artillery pieces, so that the situation of the enemy's strength in the front is basically clear, and it is consistent with the information provided by our intelligence department. ”

"What about this captive?" The operational staff officer said: "According to the soldiers who brought him, at least a dozen of our officers and soldiers died at gunpoint. Du Yuming said solemnly: "He is a soldier who is carrying out combat orders, and the aggressor is also a human being, so send him to Ludi and other anti-war task forces to pass on my orders, and in the future, it is not allowed to kill prisoners indiscriminately, and the Japanese army does not speak of public international law, we must talk about it." Du Yuming understands the psychological distortion caused by the cruelty of war, and the psychological distortion that a soldier witnesses when his companions fall one by one is beyond reproach. But soldiers are soldiers after all, they are not neighbors fighting over trivial matters, they are both carrying out the orders of the ruling group, whether it is right or wrong, their duty is to kill people, kill all enemies with knives and guns, not prisoners.

The brutality of the Battle of Kunlun Pass can be seen from the diaries of the captured Japanese troops: "For several days, the enemy in front of me has fiercely attacked us, and the battle has never been encountered since the war against China, so the casualties are extremely heavy, and it is really chilling." The temporary field clinic under Nakamura Masao is located in a private house near Jiutang. This is a typical tall courtyard in the south, with blue bricks and fine tiles, bucket arches and cornices, which is very exquisite. The main hall house is dedicated to the Bodhisattva, and the owner is a rich man, and he has already fled from the war. The side rooms on both sides of the hall were used as operating rooms. Nakamura Masao was seriously injured, and after being carried here, the military doctor immediately operated on him. Due to the lack of anesthetic, only local anesthesia was used on him, and the operation was carried out for several hours when the anesthesia was not effective. His abdominal cavity had been completely opened, and the military doctor had cut off his bullet-shattered intestines with a scalpel and stitched the rest back together. Since the intestine was severed several times, the operation was troublesome.

Shino rang out with the sound of gunfire and shell explosions, and Nakamura Masao gritted his teeth, his face was pale, and his head was covered with large beads of sweat. The effect of the anesthetic began to wane, and Nakamura's closed lips trembled slightly, and he stiffened up without saying a word, listening to the sound of Shino's guns. The young health soldier gently wiped his sweat with a hand towel and asked in a low voice, "Sir, can you stand it?" Nakamura's trembling face tried to put on a smile, loosened his clenched teeth, and said, "Don't worry, I can hold on, don't worry about me." ”

The young health soldier gently took Nakamura's hand: "Sir, you hold my hand and squeeze my hand vigorously when you feel pain." Nakamura tried to laugh again, and said in a trembling voice, "When a samurai in the Edo period committed suicide by seppuku, he knelt on the ground in a snow-white kimono and cut a large hole in his stomach with a knife, and after the intestines flowed out, the person had to kneel and not fall down. Compared to the bushido of the Edo period, I'm much worse than ......"

After listening to Nakamura's words, the young health soldier cried. Shells whistled past the rooftops, explosions seemed to get closer, and the walls of the field clinic shook in the sound of the explosions. Nakamura asked with difficulty, "Is it the enemy attacking again?" Young Medic: "Sir, you're going to have your surgery done anyway." As soon as the young soldier finished speaking, a mortar shell hit the gable of the house, blasting the gable and roof open, and broken 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 young health soldier grabbed the 38 guns leaning against the corner, and when he was about to rush out, he was stopped by Nakamura Masao: "Child, you can be my son according to your age, I can't go back to 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 Mount Fuji." I can't do it, you're still very young, don't go to dangerous places for me, you have to be careful, you must return to Japan as soon as possible......"

Nakamura Masao didn't have the strength to go any further, but he had clearly realized that as an invader, he could not conquer this land. With tears in his eyes, the young health soldier choked up, "Don't worry, sir. He rushed out of the courtyard and raised his 38 guns before he could shoot them, 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 they were all hit by bullets......

The Japanese sergeants defended their commander, and the operation was carried out in a hail of bullets and was not completed until 20:30 in the evening. At 5:18 a.m. the next morning, when the morning light from the east showed a faint light on the Kunlun Pass, Nakamura Masao, the 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 Kunlun Pass.
