Gongxingshan Anti Japanese cemetery
In the spring of 1945, the last war of Anti Japanese war started in Longtan, Xupu. At that time, the Japanese aggressors gathered tens of thousands of troops to invade the area of Xuefeng mountain in Western Hunan in order to fight for Zhijiang airport, which is known as "Xiangxi General Assembly war". The fighting was extremely fierce and brutal. China and Japan fought hand to hand for 28 days and nights. After the Xiangxi Congress, the Japanese army declared unconditional surrender. After the victory of the Anti Japanese War, the Chinese government built a cemetery for the martyrs who died in the Anti Japanese war on Gongxing mountain in Longtan in order to remember the national prestige of all the soldiers.
In April 1945, the Japanese army stationed in eastern and central Hunan sent 80000 troops to launch the "Zhijiang offensive", aiming to seize the Zhijiang airport, explore Guizhou and Sichuan, and annex the southwest. The Kuomintang army, with Wang Yaowu's Fourth Front Army as the main force, used the natural danger of Xuefeng to block, which was called "Xiangxi battle" in history. In August of the same year, the Japanese army and the people were forced to surrender to the Japanese army. The battle of Longtan is the most crucial battle in the battle of Xiangxi, and it is the decisive battle of Anti Japanese in eight years. Longtan was the main battlefield in this campaign, including the related battles in neighboring longhui and Dongkou.
Longtan in Xupu is a rare mountain valley in the hinterland of Xuefeng mountain. It is surrounded by 21 high mountains with an altitude of more than 1000 meters. Only a few steep passes are connected with the outside world. "Longtan division" was an important economic town connecting central and Western Hunan at that time. Therefore, Longtan had a very important strategic position in the battle of Xiangxi.
At the beginning of the battle on April 9, 1945, the Japanese army broke into three lines: left line, middle line and right line. The left line broke into Xinning and Suining from the Guangxi border; the middle line took 116 division as the main force, about 30000 people broke into longhui and Dongkou from Shaoyang along the "Hunan Guizhou highway"; the right line broke into Xinhua, Xupu and Chenxi from Xiangtan and Shaoyang. On the surface, there was an attempt to invade Qiaojiang airport in Xupu on the right side of the Japanese army, so I commanded the high level to transfer the 51st division of 47th Army (code named "Wenchang army") stationed in Longtan to Xupu for emergency.
Who knows, the Japanese on the right line just shot a bluff. Wenchang troops had just withdrawn from Longtan. The "takisi regiment" of the 116 division of the middle road of the Japanese army, together with about 5000 artillery and special forces (see Hunan archives in May 1955), rushed from Xiaosha River in Longhui to Longtan, and occupied the dangerous pass of the green mountain boundary of Longtan and the Songlin highland near Yingxing mountain and Guidong“ The "Longtan division" is less than 3 kilometers, and the situation is extremely urgent.
Fortunately, Wenchang troops responded very quickly. At 6 p.m. on the 17th, the advance team of takisi united team arrived at Guidong. Wenchang troops returned to Longtan at 10 p.m. and soon occupied the main strategic area outside Longtan. At the same time, I went back to xiaoshajiang garrison to give heavy blow to the subsequent Japanese troops and blocked the retreat. In this way, the troops of Taki temple were made dumplings by the Chinese army.
Takisi United fell into the trap, but more importantly, it contained the main force of the 116 division of the Japanese army. Longtan was raided by the Longsi regiment to open up a stronghold to meet the main force. However, when the main force of the division arrived at the Dongkou Mountain Gate and zhaping around April 25, the Longsi regiment had lost more than half of its life and was in danger. Instead of helping, it became a burden for the main force.
I don't know that between Longtan and Dongkou Mountain Gate, there is only an 8 km long Shaanxi Valley named "majiangu" which can pass through the customs, and the narrowest part is only more than 1 meter wide. Moreover, our Wenchang troops and the 19th and 63rd divisions have laid ambush on both sides of the mountain. This made it impossible for the main force of the enemy to save or not. At last, they had no choice but to order the 133 regiment and the logistics regiment to "rescue with all their strength".
In this way, from May 7 to 14, 1945, the casualties of the rescued and rescued Japanese troops in the process of passing through the "horse neck bone" were even more serious. On May 13, 1945 alone, 2500 people were killed, including 1300 people killed by takisi regiment, including takisi baoshiro, the leader of the regiment. Many years later, when the local people went to "horse neck bone" to cut firewood and pig grass, the dead bones of Japanese aggressors and military knives and other relics could be picked up. According to Japan's "weaving of China's dispatched troops", the Japanese army, including the rescue troops, "had a total of 15029 troops marching into Longtan, and only 216 remained after the battle.".
What's more, our 74th army and 100th army took advantage of the victory to encircle the remnant enemy of 116 division in the narrow flat between Dongkou Mountain Gate, shixiajiang River and zhuhaotang. They blocked the back road layer by layer and then intercepted. Due to the devastating attack on the middle road of the Japanese army, the left road and the right road could not take care of each other from the beginning to the end to form a joint force, so that the nearly 200 km long north-south front laid by the Japanese army quickly collapsed.
On June 7, 1945, "Xiangxi battle" ended. According to the "military history" of the Kuomintang, 12498 Japanese soldiers were killed and 23307 wounded in the whole battle, 7737 Chinese soldiers were killed and 12483 wounded. The last war of eight years of resistance against Japan showed the prestige of the Chinese nation.
Epitaph
Chronicles of the ages
Those who are cunning will fall into our hundred cities, but they can fall, and the will of the people will not fall.
Longtan inch pass, Yi not I fight, by the pass of the rock, I am full of anger.
After the completion of the division, he vowed not to live. He mowed the bandits like grass and never heard of them.
Kou blood both Li, I also cross the body, convergence bone mountain Wei, to gather the spirit.
The hero ghost of national war turns into Changgeng, long live forever, worship Mo and Beijing.
This quatrains describing the battle of Longtan and eulogizing the national soul is the conclusion of the previous epitaph. Because the original stone tablet is seriously incomplete, it is difficult to recover the whole picture, so this poem is specially recorded to rewrite the sequence of epitaphs.
In the summer of 1945, Japanese militarists sent out six divisions and a brigade to launch the battle of Xuefeng mountain (known as the battle of Xiangxi in the history) with the aim of seizing Zhijiang airport, peeping into Guizhou and Sichuan, and plundering Southwest China. Our anti Japanese army and people fought a bloody battle to defeat the Japanese aggressors and won a great victory in Western Hunan. Soon after, Japan surrendered unconditionally and won the final victory in the Anti Japanese war.
The battle of Xiangxi is the last battle of Anti Japanese war. The battle of Longtan is one of the most famous battles in the world. In April of that year, the Japanese 109 regiment entered the West and attacked Longtan on April 17, occupying the highland of Yingxing mountain. At that time, the 51st division of the 74th army of our army was ordered to send troops to Longtan to resist the enemy's invasion. It successively launched fierce battles such as the battle for Yingxing mountain, the hand to hand battle for Songshan highland, the encirclement and annihilation of big and small yellow sands, and the battle for majinggu. It took 28 days and nights to annihilate more than 2000 enemies, and our army also killed more than 700 soldiers. This battle
