Description An Akatsuki Corps Ship Unit was dispatched up the Honkawa River to Sakai-machi, Eno-machi, and Moto-machi. People were buried under houses, pinned under posts, crying for help. I heard women, children, older people. The fire spread quickly. People died from fire, heat, drowning, and being crushed. Hiroshima's citizens transformed into 280,000 corpses. Hiroshima's citizens sacrificed for the nation. Oh, children who will never return! Wives, fathers, friends! Phantom voices crying out.
