The Battle of Kunlun Pass came to an end, and for the Japanese army, this stage of the battle was extremely unsuccessful, and its strategic goal was not only not achieved, but it lost its troops, and the Fifth Division suffered more than 7,000 casualties, which was unique in the history of the division.
What is even more embarrassing is that the formation lost two infantry brigades, and it is conceivable that the news that the two infantry brigades were completely wiped out came out, and the first heroic name of the Fifth Division may not be guaranteed; on the Chinese battlefield, there has never been a situation in which the infantry brigade has been completely wiped out; this time, after Zhang Wei's teaching brigade was stirred up on the battlefield, the Fifth Division, the former Steel Army, produced two completely annihilated infantry brigades in one breath.
Under the direct attack and indirect promotion of the teaching brigade, the two infantry brigades of the Japanese army were completely annihilated, and at this point, before engaging the Japanese army, even Zhang Wei did not dare to think about the significance of annihilating a Japanese brigade.
Zhang Wei, who came from his previous life, naturally knew in his heart that the Japanese army was completely wiped out by the two brigades in a down-to-earth manner, and when he cleaned up the battlefield with the 200 divisions and calculated the results, Zhang Wei found that after directly and indirectly destroying the two brigades of the Japanese army, he felt quite a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
The honor of the Steel Army died in a battle.
After the defeat in the battle, the Fifth Division began to shrink its forces in an all-round way and retreated in the direction of Nanning, and they were ready to withdraw the main force to the Nanning front line, and then make plans, but it is conceivable that because of a large number of combat casualties, the Fifth Division should not think of any bad intentions in a short period of time.
The Chinese troops participating in the Battle of Guinan, such as the 36th Army and the 99th Army, launched a pursuit battle against the retreating troops of the Fifth Division, harassing and attacking on the way to retreat, and the Guangxi militia and the people's self-defense forces in the southern Guinan area also spontaneously attacked the Japanese army, shuttling through the mountains and beside the highway, wantonly taking revenge.
Even an ambush with bows and arrows and various earthen mines and cold weapons.
The piecemeal casualties add up, and when taken together, they are also a number that hurts the Fifth Division.
For a time, the troops of the Fifth Division on the way to retreat were miserable.
As for the Fifth Army, it raised its eyebrows once, first, the task assigned to the Fifth Army by the Military Commission has been earnestly completed, so far, the line of communication has been secured, and the tactical goal of recapturing Kunlun Pass has been completed, and second, it has not only been completed, but also completed very well, in this battle, the Fifth Division lost 7,000 people in the battle near Kunlun Pass, and the casualties caused by the Fifth Army to the Japanese army are at least about 6,000, which is still a conservative estimate, and this record is enough to be proud of the whole army.
That's right, the name of the military commissar's own son and mechanized army.
Strategically, although the confrontation between the two sides continues, the situation is moving in favor of the Chinese army.
After conquering Kunlun Pass, Chief Du considered that his battle losses were also very serious, the soldiers were tired, and the Fifth Army had completed the task of recapturing Kunlun Pass, so the Fifth Army did not participate in a series of battles such as the pursuit battle, but was ordered to rest, which was more than two days.
In the early morning, when the sun rises and the smoke of war is gone, everything seems to have become very beautiful, and a few days ago on the battlefield, there were still occasional birds and hares and other living creatures, full of life, except for the occasional few Japanese planes patronizing the sky, there is hardly any battlefield atmosphere here.
The officers and soldiers of the 200th Division who survived the bloody battle have assonized their strength on the battlefield, and the 200th Division has also given the soldiers a day off.
In accordance with the Fifth Army's order to rest and recuperate, the officers and men of the 200th Division besieging Kunlun Pass quickly gathered their men and horses after cleaning up the battlefield, and the officers and men of the whole division hid in the mountains west of the boundary head to rest and recuperate.
Zhang Wei and the officers and men of the Teaching Brigade were naturally stationed at the headquarters of the 200th Division.
Today's weather is exceptionally good, early in the morning, at six o'clock, the morning horn of the 200th Division's headquarters has been ringing for more than half an hour, and the officers and men of the 200th Division have resumed their normal barracks life.
The sound of the soldiers' morning exercise sounded in the mountains, and after more than a day of battlefield leave, Division Commander Dai, who was very strict in administering the army, ordered the troops to re-enter normal training and strictly ordered all units to step up combat readiness and turn into a state of drill.
All regiments under the 200th Division also began a day's drills and training.
The soldiers of the special service company of the 200th division were on guard near the division headquarters, changed their guard posts, led the officers to the camps of other divisional units, accompanied the officers of the division headquarters to inspect various parts, and supervised the morning drills of the units directly under the division and the subordinate regiments.
Around his tent, there were dozens of large and small tents, all of which were occupied by officers and soldiers of the teaching brigade, and the camp of the teaching brigade was very quiet, and no one from the special service company came to disturb him.
In front of the camp, there was a squad of soldiers of the special service company who were on guard, and as for the camp, there was no control at all, teaching the soldiers of the brigade, walking in groups of three or five, chatting, most of them did not carry weapons, only a few were extremely cautious and carried rifles.
Of course, if anyone really thinks that these soldiers are lax and try to raid this camp, the soldiers of the teaching brigade in the tent will soon come out with guns in hand to fight back, so that the raiders know what it means to send outside and inside tightly.
The soldiers of the teaching brigade walking in the camp, who were not injured or slightly injured, had a rather bad image, because they were wearing clothes brought down from the battlefield, most of them were soaked in blood, military uniforms, trousers, almost all lacked a piece of cloth here, a piece of cloth there, and many soldiers' legging cloths were also lost.
In addition to those who were chatting and walking in the camp, the other brothers, including the captain Zhang Wei, were sleeping in the tents in the camp.
Eating and drinking, the people of their own 200 divisions sent it, and the soldiers of the teaching brigade are only responsible for eating, although the food is not as good as the teaching brigade to make it themselves, but it is good to be full, and the stomach can not be filled.
If an unwitting officer were brought in, he would have thought that the camp of the teaching brigade was a shelter for the rout.
Others are exercising in the morning, only the teaching brigade is sleeping, and the 200th division is also specially assigned a squad to post for no other reason, just because of the military exploits, with the record of encircling and annihilating the Takeda Brigade, the first Keluotang, and then attacking the first frontier, the teaching brigade deserves to enjoy the differential treatment.
In addition, the physical and mental level of the officers and men of the teaching brigade is indeed on the verge of the stage, the soldiers are very tired, and what to do if they are tired is nothing more than sleeping, in the past two days, Zhang Wei has ordered that as long as they do not go out of the camp, they can do whatever they want in the camp.
What else can the big-headed soldiers do, as soon as they fall into bed, they fall into the bed, and it takes two days to make up for the sleep during the entire siege battle, Zhang Wei also fell asleep, and now the sun is shining on his buttocks, and he is still sleeping in his tent.
However, Zhang Wei's laziness did not last long early this morning, and the herald entered the tent and called Zhang Wei up.
"What's the matter?"
Zhang Wei subconsciously got up, grabbed the gun, put on a steel helmet, and poured a kettle on his face, which was considered to be washing his face.
The herald pointed outward: "Captain, there is an officer from the friendly division headquarters, saying that Division Commander Dai came to you to discuss the change of structure." ” In the past two days, Division Commander Dai has never mentioned this matter at all, in addition to cleaning up the battlefield with the people of the 200th Division, he is assisting the officers of the 200th Division to count the results of the battle and sleep a lot ：。
