At this time, Huishan City was already in a state of depression, and everything that caught my eye was depressed and desolate. After half a year of bombardment of cannons and airships, there was no complete house inside. The entire city streets were dilapidated, revealing a gloomy and rotten atmosphere, which made the first impression of the Chinese soldiers rushing into the city as if they had entered a ghost city.

The Ninth Company continued to serve as the vanguard force. The company commander commanded the soldiers to advance against the walls on both sides of the street, alerting to the ambush hidden in the ruins. Not long after advancing, he encountered several hidden Japanese strongholds. There was a fierce exchange of fire between the two sides, and they waited until the subsequent troops arrived before they could destroy these strongholds.[]

When the Ninth Company went around another street, they suddenly found dozens of figures shaking in front of the ruins of a half-decayed building. When they looked carefully, they found that it was a group of ragged North Korean civilians. The company commander of the Ninth Company was about to send someone to check, but the soldiers of the 38th Division who followed him quickly stopped him and immediately explained the situation he encountered during the feint attack last evening. The Ninth Company Commander was shocked, but he could not do nothing when facing the civilians.

"Do you beat them to death? Then aren't we the Japanese? "

"Or why should we ask for instructions when our battalion commander arrives?"

The Ninth Company sent a messenger to the rear to find the battalion commander of the 38th Division. Ten minutes later, the battalion commander Li Wensheng rushed over.

"Captain Li, there are civilians in front of you." said the company commander of the Ninth Company.

"Call me, Captain Li. I just received the news from the radio that our commander was hit by a stray bullet and died. The superiors asked me to temporarily take over the 91st Regiment. I have sent someone to establish a temporary regiment headquarters at the ancient city gate." Li Wensheng said with a sad expression.

"Then, Commander Li, what should we do now?" asked the company commander of the Ninth Company.

"Send a few people to the front to control the civilians, it is best to understand Korean. I will send a team to the back to check whether there is an ambush in the building." Li Wensheng issued an order in an orderly manner.

The Chinese soldiers immediately started to act, and indeed found traces of Japanese soldiers in the ruins of the building. The assault team quietly approached, threw several grenades into the building, and then rushed in with automatic rifles to clear the Japanese remnants. After solving the ambushed Japanese army, Li Wensheng sent engineers to rescue North Korean civilians.

All these North Korean civilians were already unconscious and were obviously frightened. Some were tied up with bags, some were holding grenades with the insurance cover removed, and some even stepped on a mine. Chinese soldiers gave priority to rescuing women and children, as well as those who were not in critical condition. Then the engineers carried out high-risk operations to remove bags and grenades. However, two North Koreans who were stepping on landmines were powerless. Not only was the mine buried and it was difficult to remove, but the North Koreans were emotionally unstable and could detonate mines at any time.

In order to ensure the safety of the soldiers and avoid taking greater risks, Li Wensheng had to order the landmines to be detonated with others. Now he is on the battlefield, Chinese soldiers can only provide help within his ability.

After solving this problem, Li Wensheng sent North Korean civilians to a settlement near the ancient city gate, and provided some water and food to these people, and at the same time, he fed some information from the Japanese army in the city.

However, just when the civilians of the regiment headquarters learned about the situation from the North Korean civilians, they learned the truth from the North Korean civilians. A North Korean girl in her twenties maintained her last mental state and cried to the Chinese soldiers about the Japanese's atrocities. Four months ago, after the Japanese army was cut off from traffic, they began to rob the civilian food frantically. The people were really looted, and it was not long before that people were starved to death.

Just a month ago, all the supplies in Huishan were exhausted, and some Japanese troops began to kill people and eat. Although senior officers from the division headquarters strictly prohibited such evil deeds, there were still many offenders in the peripheral troops, especially a unit called the "Okita United", who killed more than 100 Koreans and ate their meat in just one month.

Not only that, from the morning before yesterday, some Japanese wings and brigades formulated even more crazy plans, using civilians as human bombs and shields, and taking the opportunity to launch a counterattack. Moreover, the Japanese specially selected some women, children, elderly, pregnant women and other tasks to carry out tasks, saying that it would be easier to confuse Chinese soldiers.

Except for the division headquarters in Huishan City, the entire Huishan City can achieve a little stability, all other urban areas and townships are like hell, starving to death, stray bullets, slaughtered, and corpses are everywhere, as if there is no creature that can be moved anymore.

The North Korean girl claimed to be the child of a local official in Huishan, so she has been protected by the division commander. However, the division command suddenly evacuated last night and was soon taken over by a brigade command. From that time on, there was no safe place in Huishan City. The brigade command captured North Korean civilians everywhere to act as human bombs. Her parents were arrested last night and she was assigned to another team.

The civilians in the regiment headquarters looked very serious. They recorded what the North Korean girls said heavily, then asked about the location of the Japanese military brigade headquarters, and comforted that the North Korean girls' team would immediately restore the place.

After learning about the position of the Japanese military brigade headquarters, the 91st Regiment met with the main force of the Second Air Cavalry Brigade who arrived later and began to attack the designated position.

By dawn, the Chinese team wiped out almost all Japanese positions outside Huishan, and a large number of troops immediately entered the city to fight.

Until noon, the troops in the city destroyed three corps headquarters and a brigade headquarters, controlling most of the Huishan city.

However, subsequent cleanup and consolidation of the battle was not easy. Many Japanese scattered soldiers who had lost command were distributed in the corners of the ruins in the city, relying on the cover of the ruins to fight guerrilla warfare with the Chinese team. It was not until three days later that Huishan City completely stopped fighting. All the Japanese 7th Divisions were annihilated. Except for the early surrender and the captured soldiers had a living vein, all the Japanese soldiers who were cleared out in the later stage of the city were not left and all were shot dead on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, the 36th Division and the 38th Division carried out a month-long rectification and investigation in Huishan, restoring order in the city, hosting North Korean refugees, and investigating the crimes committed by the Japanese in Huishan. During this series of investigations, scenes of tragedy gradually emerged. For later people, being forcibly recruited as a comfort woman among all these tragedies was only the slightest.
