　　在军事上，在悲伤的逃亡来临之前很早，第十四航空队就开始拆在桂林除昂贵的设备，大约花费了美国7亿美元的550栋建筑炸毁了。战斗机和轰炸机的紧急战场保持完好但是最后也炸毁了，尽管投下拆除炸弹，开始坚持到最后一分钟。然后，当日本人开始进攻，美国飞机发现，日军骑兵距离桂林只有15英里远了，克林顿·文森特(Clinton D. Vincent)将军下令炸毁最后的六辆吉普车。这次失败不是中国人的，也是美国人的。

　　Militarily, a sadder evacuation had come still earlier, when the 14th Air Force demolished the expensive installations at Kweilin, some 550 buildings that had cost the U.S. 700,000,000 Chinese dollars. An emergency field for fighters and bombers was kept intact, though sown with demolition bombs, until the last minute. Then, when the Jap offensive began and Jap cavalry was spotted by air only 15 miles away, General Clinton D. Vincent ordered the last field blown up and the American "bitter-enders" got out in six jeeps. The defeat was not Chinese alone; it was also American.
