    Wuqiu Island Guerrilla Forces On a certain day in April 1945, the superiors issued an assault order. The soldiers were divided into five small boats and headed towards the target Wuqiu Island. The fighters clenched on to their machine guns, carbines, submachine guns and grenades, etc, riding the wind and breaking the waves on the journey. Due to the bad weather at night, the line of sight was unclear, and the tide (east, south, north and west) exchange was unknown. At near noon, as we began to approach Wuqiu Island, the fighters immediately jumped in the water and landed on the shore. The Japanese army was eating in the barracks. The fighters first threw two grenades into their barracks, and then launched violent shooting. More than ten Japanese soldiers fell to the ground and several Japanese soldiers were captured as well as capturing various equipment and destroying their facilities before withdrawing safely. The successful victory of the battle depends entirely on the internal response of the patriotism of the inhabitants of the Wuqiu; complete victory was due to their provision of correct intelligence and assistance on the enemy forces.
