In the early morning the alarm signals sounded out in Wuchow, and everyone ran for shelter. The planes however did not stop at Wuchow, but went on to Kweiping where her 20,000 inhabitants were treated to a display of bombing for the first time. Civilian dwellings were not molested, but the military headquarters situated near the west gate of the city were subjected to a heavy fusillade of bombs, Considerable damage was done and quite a large number of people lost their lives.
