They killed from Jurong to Tangshan, Mukai Toshiaki killed 89 people, and Noda Takeshi killed 78 people. Since both of them were less than 100, the "competition" continued.
At noon on December 10, the two met at the foot of Purple Mountain, and each other's mouths had been cut with sabers. Noda Takeshi killed 105 people and Mukai Toshiaki killed 106 people.
Since it was not certain who could kill 100 people first, it was decided that there would be no winner in this competition and a rematch would be held to see who could kill 150 Chinese people.
