To kill these 78,000 people requires a considerable trenches, but how can we not find them? So we put forward a plan to separate these people one hundred or two hundred and take them to appropriate places to solve them. Packed up these sub-rout mainly by the 16th Division ...

“大体上的方针是，俘虏不死的话，就可以单方面处置他们……后来听说，单是佐佐木部队就处理了约15000人；在太平门守备的一个中队长就处理了约1300人；在仙鹤门附近集中的约七八千人，是陆续投降的。要干掉这七八千人需要相当大的壕沟，但 怎么也找不到，于是提出一个方案，把这些人一百、二百地分开，带到几处适当的地方解决掉。收拾这些溃兵主要由第16师团担当……”
