Who was the Japanese commander in the battle of Songshan? What about military capabilities?

Songshan is located in Ramon Town, Longling County, the western border of Yunnan Province, with the Nujiang River in the east and dangerous terrain. It is a famous throat fortress of the Yunnan-Myanmar Highway and is called "Gibraltar in the East" by military experts. Songshan is the main battlefield of the anti-Japanese war in western Yunnan, and the site of Songshan War is one of the best preserved battlefield sites of World War II. The scenic spot has been identified as a patriotic education base in Yunnan Province, a national key cultural relic protection unit and a demonstration unit of ethnic unity and progress in Yunnan Province. Scenic spots also play an important role in studying and reappearing the history of the Anti-Japanese War in western Yunnan, remembering the martyrs and praying for peace.

1At the end of 939, the 5th Army of the Chinese Army launched a campaign against Kunlun Pass under the command of General Du. In the Battle of Kunlun Pass, the opponent of the 5th Army of China Army was the 5th Division of Japanese Army. After fierce fighting, the 5th Army annihilated more than 4,000 people in the 2nd1Brigade of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army, and the Japanese army suffered heavy losses.

It is worth mentioning that among the infantry divisions of the Chinese Army who participated in the Kunlunguan Campaign in southern Guangxi, one division had a very special designation, namely the honorary 1 division, and the teacher was General Zheng Dongguo who was promoted to the new 1 commander of the National Revolutionary Army in the future.

During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, warm-blooded youths, represented by Zhu Jiaxi and Chang Shaoqun, emerged in Longling, and formed the Longlu Guerrilla, venturing deep into the enemy's rear to fight for a long time. At the same time, in the Lujiang Tusi in Longling, there are several people's self-defense forces with young people of all ethnic groups as the backbone. With the support of local chieftain Hirota and others, they often ambush the Japanese army plundering the countryside according to the risk.

The story of national unity against the enemy in the anti-Japanese war in western Yunnan is profound and shocking. The Songshan War Site Memorial Park will be built in combination with this "national unity and progress demonstration scenic spot", and these stories will be used as vivid teaching materials for the theme education of "Don't forget your initiative and remember your mission", closely focusing on the main line of building the Chinese nation's sense of identity and adhering to the overall goal of "building a Chinese dream with one heart and one mind".

Every time they compete for a position, the officers and men of Honor 1 Division have to fight the Japanese army repeatedly. Masao Nakamura, the commander of the Japanese army, spoke highly of the officers and men of the 5th Army, including the honorary 1 division, before his death: the 2nd1brigade of the 5th Division of the Japanese army was called the Iron Army, because the tenacity of the Japanese army defeated the tenacity of the Russian army. However, in Kunlun Pass, we must admit that we met an army more tenacious than the Russian army.
