Eighty-one years ago today, on November 10, 1944 (September 25, 1944 lunar calendar), Guilin and Liuzhou fell on the same day. On the Guiqian Road, the train was overwhelmed, and a large number of refugees gathered inside and outside the train, waiting to drive. On November 10, 1944, the Japanese army occupied Guilin. From November 1, the Japanese army began to attack the periphery of Guilin, and the Chinese military and civilians relied on Shishan caves to fight tenaciously. The Japanese army released poison gas on the Chinese defenders of Qixingyan, and more than 3,000 defenders died tragically in large and small caves. Almost all the fortifications outside Guilin were destroyed by Japanese artillery fire, and the remnants of the peripheral troops retreated into the city. On the 6th, the Japanese army stationed in Songjing, Yanshan Town, a southern suburb of Guilin, Guangxi, went to Wutang Village to search and kill. There was no one in the village. When they found that there was cooking smoke rising from Jishan, they rushed to Sushan and found the entrance of the cave. They piled up the combustible materials such as cages, clothing, soil tobacco leaves and other combustibles stored by the farmers at the entrance of the cave, poured kerosene, and set fire to choke the people in the cave. Except for dozens of poisoned people who survived, the rest of the people were poisoned to death. A total of 208 people died in the cave. On the 8th, the Japanese army concentrated 100 artillery and 30 tanks to support the infantry to cross the Lijiang River and break into the urban area of Guilin. The officers and soldiers in the city fought with the Japanese invaders in street battles and fought tenaciously. Due to the Japanese invaders' attack with tanks, armored vehicles and flamethrowers, the Chinese army suffered heavy casualties.
