The Battle of Yarkand consisted of a well-armed force of Hui Muslims, where they entered the new city and aided its defenders against the Khotan Uyghurs.
With a decisive Chinese victory in Yarkand with several thousand troops, that the New 36th Division were able to achieve any military success. Caught in the open, Abdullah Bughra Khotanlik troops were no match for the Hui Soldiers(New 36th Division), and many were killed.
