     The Japanese plans called for the occupation of Taiyüan by October 30th, and then they were to move southward along the Tungpu railway and occupy the whole province. They occupied Taiyüan on November 9th and occupied a few towns south and east of the city, including Pingyao. Their conduct in Pingyao was typical of their activities everywhere; they entered the city, beat in the doors with their rifles, entered and searched for money, valuables, food—and women. They looted the entire city—though most of the population had fled—and they raped and then carried off the young women for the use of their troops in Taiyüan. This story is told me by a foreigner who witnessed these scenes.
     But soon the Japanese began to retreat from Pingyao and from the other places they had occupied around Taiyüan.
