The Battle of Kunlun Pass (Traditional Chinese: 崑崙關戰役; Simplified Chinese: 昆仑关战役; pinyin: Kūnlúnguān Zhàngyì) was series of battles between the Japanese and the Chinese in contention for Kunlun Pass.
The 200th Division (Traditional Chinese: 第200師; Simplified Chinese: 第200师; pinyin: Dì 200 Shī), the first mechanised division of the National Revolutionary Army, secured a devastating victory against the Japanese in the battle, wiping out an entire Japanese brigade.
