Chen Dalai came to the outside of Huaiyin, regardless of the obstruction from the Kuomintang soldiers, rushed into Li Huan's quarters, and told Li Huan he only wanted to find Shunliu.
At the Nanwan dock, Matsui's troops got on the ship, they were about to return home.
The Kuomintang strictly controlled the dock. Shunliu climbed up the distant water tower and aimed at Benten.
Shunliu's gun went off, he did not shoot Benten, he did not fire a shot at any Japanese soldier, but instead aimed at the Japanese rising sun flag flying high on the ship mast, one shot broke the flag rope, the Japanese national flag fell like a broken kite, landing in the sea water.
