 The fighting between the Japanese and Chinese armies during the Sino-Japanese War's Continental Strike was harsh. Many soldiers of the army were killed and wounded. For this reason, the Chinese army built more field hospitals one after another. Even so, it was impossible to fully accommodate the dead and wounded soldiers. They transported the dead and wounded soldiers on stretchers to the newly established field hospitals in Guangxi Province. A Chinese military nurse was watching over them. Chinese battle-wounded soldiers who arrived on foot waited in front of the field hospital for treatment procedures.

　In the battle of Guilin and Liuzhou, the Japanese 11th Army planned to attack Guilin. The distance between the two cities was 120 kilometers, and the Chinese dispatched forces had planned to have the 23rd Army invade Liuzhou since the planning of Operation No. 1, but the plan was not activated. The 11th Army was determined to attack Guilin, and its plan was decided on October 5, 1944.

　The Japanese 11th Army was the main force in the Guilin campaign, while the 23rd Army checked the Chongqing Army from the flank. The 104th Division under the 23rd Army invaded Guangxi Province on October 14 to check the Chinese Chongqing Army. The Japanese occupation of airfields in the Tanzhu Plain also posed a threat to the Chinese forces, and the 22nd Division, which invaded Wulin in mid-October, remained in air defense bunkers under heavy bombardment by American bombers.

  On October 26, the 11th Army received orders to attack Guilin and ordered the 3rd and 37th Divisions to launch. On November 4, the Takeshita Battalion of the 34th Infantry Regiment broke through the rain and began cooking in the highlands of Shuren, working tirelessly and without sleep. The Chongqing troops fired on this fire with American-made 10mm howitzers for the first time.

  On October 28, the Chongqing Army began retreating in front of the 58th Division. The 58th Division's first-line troops began a pursuit. The 40th Division began its advance into Guilin. The 40th Division attacked from the south of Guilin, was counterattacked by the Chinese forces, and conversely, was forced to fight an uphill battle and was ordered to attack from the eastern front.

　On November 4, a night attack on Qixingyan was launched to capture Guilin City, the largest operation of Operation Xianggui. The Chinese forces began to respond with guns and mortars from within their positions. The Japanese used flamethrowers, but were met with fierce defenses by the Chongqing troops, and the bloody battle continued until the morning of November 8. The Chinese protested that the Japanese had used poison gas.

  On November 9, a general attack on Guilin by the 58th Division broke out. The Japanese forces, mainly 42 field guns, and from the air, the 5th Air Force gun-bombed the city. The Chongqing Army responded violently, and even boldly bombarded Japanese tanks. The Japanese troops succeeded in rushing into Guilin City through the Shuidongmen Gate, and the castle was plunged into a state of confusion. The urban battle began, in which it was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe. After a day and a half of fierce fighting, Guilin was secured by the 11th Army. The number of casualties on the Japanese side was unknown. Chinese casualties numbered approximately 5,600 dead and over 13,000 prisoners of war. The Japanese occupied Guilin and Liuzhou, and took all the U.S. military air bases in southwestern China, the objective of "Operation I."
