When the war officially concluded, it was already the end of December.
Other than the weather being colder and the snowfall being heavier, people didn't detect any difference associated with the seasonal change.
After a war, although Second Army was at an advantageous position in the latter half of the war, the force still suffered a high casualty number, and most of the survivors were wounded and exhausted.
According to the orders from the General Office, Second Army would be replaced with the Zhao Gang-led Third Army and to handover the defense of Wu City. The replaced Second Army would go to Fishbone base for reorganization. At the same time, the General would personally preside over the ceremony and reward the soldiers' meritorious service.
