In 1968 the factional fighting in the county escalated, and in April military and police ammunition was seized by the two factions. Members of the weaker Eryipai soon thereafter fled the county and joined their allies in neighboring counties. Amid rear-guard armed fighting, many of the adherents of Eryipai who remained behind were rounded up, along with their families and members of the “bad classes.” Over 400 were tortured and then murdered, including 211 labeled as “bad- class.” By the end of 1968 a PLA unit entered the county to end the bloodshed.
