Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Qinglonggou in Nuruerhu Mountain in Western Manchuria is a little-known place name. Without this battle, it would not leave much impression on people. But on this night in mid-August 1940, the Kwantung Army in Western Manchuria  More than 300,000 soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Western Manchurian Theater of the Independent Division, fought around Qinglonggou in an area of ??more than 100 kilometers. The Battle of Qinglonggou is destined to be recorded in the history of the Independent Division.

    With his eyes fixed on the charging Kwantung Army soldiers, Major General Wang Qingshan, commander of the 1st Mechanized Brigade of the Outer Mongolia Corps, did not think so much in his mind. What he was thinking about was how the 1st Brigade could carry out the smallest attack before reinforcements came up.  After more than an hour, I have been fighting for many years, and I have seen a lot of big scenes. But when I saw the Kwantung Army soldiers rushing up like a swarm of ants in the afterglow of the artillery fire, I still gasped.  A breath of air conditioning.

    "Damn it, the little devil has really spent a lot of money. He is worthy of me, Wang Qingshan. I am afraid that the first charge will be more than three regiments!" This means that the first brigade blocked the front, more than ten people.  Within a kilometer wide area, they will face an attack by more than 10,000 Kwantung Army soldiers.

    Wang Qingshan looked away from the lookout hole and grabbed the phone, "Order, each regiment should not open fire yet, put the little devils closer to hit, first use mortars to bombard these bastards! Each regiment belongs to the artillery battalion, shelling ten  In a few minutes, move to the reserve position immediately!" He was sure that if it weren't for the terrain restrictions of Qinglong Valley that prevented a large-scale deployment of troops, the Kwantung Army's first attack would have deployed even more troops than they did now!

    The wind is blowing, it¡¯s the mid-August night wind in the Western Manchurian Mountains.  With the coolness of early autumn, and this coolness.  They would soon be dispersed by the flames of war. As they got closer, the charging Kwantung Army soldiers began to shout and speed up. The cold light of their bayonets shone coldly in the sky, reflected by the tail flames of the cannonballs that intertwined.  The position on the opposite side was still silent, giving them courage but also giving them ignorant fear.

    Suddenly, there was a scream and dense mortar shells in front of the place that had been silent just now.  The shells hit them head and head, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The shells fell in the dense formation of the Kwantung Army soldiers charging. Fire, human bodies, broken limbs, and huge explosions instantly filled the night sky of the battlefield.

    In the cave where the headquarters of the Third Army of the Western Manchuria Kwantung Army is located, Army Commander Lieutenant General Tosa listened to the report of Chief of Staff Major General Akutagawa with an expressionless face.  "Commander, the sudden bombardment by the artillery of the Independent Division disrupted our plan. According to the reports from the commanders of each army, the troops assembled in the direction of Qinglonggou have been completed. About one-half of them, the other troops have been disrupted.  The establishment has been established and is being consolidated!

    "We have enough troops to break through the Qinglonggou position that is more than ten kilometers wide!" Lieutenant General Tosa said coldly. One-half, which is about hundreds of thousands of people, the independent division blocking force on the opposite side is no more than a reinforced brigade at best.  , there are about 15,000 people, and the strength ratio is ten to one. Even if the corpses of soldiers are piled up, a breakthrough can be paved.

    "Commander, there is another bad news. The independent divisions in the east, west and north directions have launched an all-out attack on us. Less than thirty minutes after the battle started, all of our troops remaining in the outer positions were  The jade is broken. Now, the attacking independent division troops have advanced to the second position. Commander, our battlefield space has been compressed again!" Chief of Staff Akutagawa said with a pale face.

    Lieutenant General Tosa still had a cold expression, "I know, but this does not affect our determination to break out!" How could he not know that just around the cave, the sound of gunfire was deafening, and within a few hours, he  The cave they are in will become the front line. The only way now is to tear open the hole in the direction of Qinglonggou at all costs.

    "Chief of Staff Akutagawa, order all troops not to take into account organizational issues, let alone entangle with the independent division troops attacking from three directions. Use the direction of Qinglonggou as the only assembly point. When a brigade arrives, they will commit a brigade attack, no matter how big the casualties are.  The attack must not stop! Also, make it clear to the four army commanders that this is our only chance and we must go all out!" Lieutenant General Tosa ordered.

    Chief of Staff Akutagawa¡¯s face was very ugly. What he was most concerned about was another thing, ¡°Commander, will the headquarters be transferred immediately? Transfer it to the nearest Qinglonggou command, so that you can better grasp the situation of the breakout!¡±

    "Transfer! Why transfer?" Lieutenant General Tosa's empty eyes suddenly flashed with fierceness. Obviously, he was quite dissatisfied with Chief of Staff Akutagawa's repeated suggestions to transfer the headquarters. "The headquarters will stay where it is."  Move forward and wait for the good news about the successful breakout. Before that, I will not leave my current command position! My Tosa stay here will also be an incentive for the troops who are gathering in the direction of Qinglonggou! "

    Glancing at Chief of Staff Akutagawa, who looked ugly, Lieutenant General Tosa continued to say with a fierce look: "It's you, Akutagawa-kun., have you become timid after repeatedly proposing the transfer of the military headquarters?  Are you scared?  Are you worried that we will be surrounded or killed by the attacking independent division soldiers?  You are escaping!  Um!  "

    "Coward! A general of the Empire of Japan, who is loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan, why should he be afraid of death? What's wrong with death!" Lieutenant General Tosa's tone was fierce and violent, and his roar echoed with pressure in the cave, which made a lot of sense.  If there is any disagreement, then Chief of Staff Akutagawa will be dealt with.

    Chief of Staff Akutagawa's face was as gray as ashes. Although he tried his best to suggest that the headquarters move closer to Qinglonggou, he had some small thoughts, but it was not all for himself. Feelings of grievance, fear of having his thoughts revealed, and other emotions were mixed together.  He almost fainted, calmed his mind, and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, the staff dare not be timid and fearful. Since the Commander refuses to allow the headquarters to be transferred, then just don't move!"

    After Chief of Staff Akutagawa finished speaking, he staggered away. Lieutenant General Tosa vented his anger, and all the strength in his body seemed to have been drained away. How could he not know that Akutagawa's suggestion was correct? Outside the cave, the inspiration came closer and closer.  The sound of gunfire is telling me that it won't be long before the soldiers of the Independent Division arrive here!

    In the direction of Qinglonggou, the battle entered a fever pitch as soon as it began. In the dark night, more than 10,000 Kwantung Army soldiers surged up like a turbid current on a front more than ten kilometers wide, attacking  Artillery shells and small- and medium-caliber shells fell into the turbid current, exploding into clouds of blood, but the turbid current still surged up. Suddenly, a circle of white light burst out from the front position, like the sound of gunfire like a summer rainstorm.  , suddenly sounded!

    The turbulent turbid currents, like hitting a solid rock, broke into countless broken pieces and dissipated. Immediately, more Kwantung Army soldiers threw themselves into the charge. One by one, the turbid currents continued to impact.  At the position of the First Brigade, in order to break through, the Kwantung Army troops, from the commander to the soldiers, went crazy!

    The first brigade and the crazy Kwantung Army soldiers started a bloody fight on a battlefield more than ten kilometers wide. Wang Qingshan and the brigade guard battalion had long been involved in the battle. Not only Wang Qingshan himself, but also  All personnel in the entire brigade are involved in the battle!

    Wang Qingshan finished a round of bullets, replaced it with a new magazine, and pulled the trigger fiercely again. The submachine gun roared wildly, and the Kwantung Army soldiers who rushed to the position less than fifty meters away fell to the ground, "Brigadier Commander, lie down.  Fall!" Suddenly, the commander of the guard battalion next to him dragged him into the trench and jumped on him. A string of heavy machine gun bullets hit the spot where he had just shot, making the ground fly up.  A soldier fell in a pool of blood!

    Wang Qingshan's eyes were red. According to his own estimation, the battle had only started for more than half an hour, and the casualties of the first brigade had already reached more than 3,000 people. "I can't die yet! Close the gap just now!"  Wang Qingshan roared at the commander of the guard battalion. In just a short time, at least a hundred or so little Japs took advantage of the pause in firepower and rushed to a distance of less than thirty meters from the position.

    There were fierce gunfire and artillery sounds everywhere. More than 10,000 soldiers of the First Brigade formed a wall of fire to block the impact of countless Kwantung Army soldiers. "The brigade commander, commander of the aviation night flight group, called the brigade.  Ministry, let us direct the bombing target!" A radio operator carrying a radio on his back climbed up to Wang Qingshan and shouted.

    "Damn it! The aviation guys are finally here, it's not too late!" Wang Qingshan gasped for air, blood oozed from his right arm, dyeing the sleeves of his military uniform red, but with a smile on his face, he looked towards  The operator shouted: "Let the communications director do this work! Blast all the Japs back! The focus is on the Japs' artillery positions!"

    A few minutes later, the aviation force's mixed fleet of night-flying bombers and fighters arrived over the battlefield. Under the instructions of the ground radio, they poured heavy aerial bombs into the charging Kwantung Army soldiers, causing a blast.  There were pillars of smoke rising into the sky, and flashes of fire. In the fire and smoke, there were broken body parts!

    While the charging Kwantung Army soldiers were being bombed, the artillery positions of the Third Army of the Kwantung Army also faced disaster. At the darkest moment before dawn, the flames emanating from the muzzles of hundreds of field artillery positions were  The best target, not to mention, Wang Qingshan also gave special orders.

    The bombers roared down and swooped down. One after another, the heavy bombs landed and exploded, bursting into flames. In an instant, the positions of the two field artillery brigades were shrouded in a sea of ??fire and smoke. The blown artillery wheels,  The artillery shells that flew far away and exploded aggravated the tragedy. Balls of fire burst out, and the bodies of the Kwantung Army artillerymen were shattered and then annihilated in the explosion.

    After the aviation force¡¯s eight night-flying bomber regiments and four night-flying fighter regiments, a total of more than 700 fighter planes, joined the battlefield, the situation on the battlefield changed instantly!
