Leave Katsuya name here.

After landing in Hangzhou Bay in November 1937, it became impossible to pull ammunition-laden dramas due to muddy roads and express forces.
Katsuya name was finally able to walk with Small Luggage’s troops.
It was a rugged field near Nanjing.
It was finally decided that Katsuya name would be there.
The setting sun was illuminating the field diagonally. Looking back at Katsuya name, standing against the dark blue sky and looking at me, I hurried to catch up with the troops.
