  • The Battle of Guilin-Liuzhou, also known as the Battle of Guiliu was one of the 22 major engagements between the National Revolutionary Army (NRA) and Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) during the Second Sino-Japanese War. This battle was the third of the three-part Battle of Henan-Hunan-Guangxi, also known as Operation Ichigo. As part of the said Operation, a major aim of this attack was to connect the pieces of Japanese-held territory, and also, to destroy airbases in the area which were housing USAAF aircraft. Order of Battle: Battle of Guilin-Liuzhou In August, after battles in Hunan and Guangdong, the 11th and 23rd Armies of the IJA launched attacks towards Guilin and Liuzhou, respectively. The NRA troops defending the area were mainly the remnants from the Battle of Hengyang, and therefore, only 20,000 troops were at Guilin on 1 November when the Japanese started their attack on the city. After 10 days of intense fighting, the Japanese occupied Guilin, and on the same day entered Liuzhou as well. Fighting continued sporadically as Chinese forces made their rapid retreat, and on 24 November the Japanese were in control of 75 counties in Guangxi, roughly 2/3 its area, and is said to have killed 215,000 civilians in reprisal and during crossfire, wounding more than 431,000.
  • La Bataille de Guilin-Liuzhou opposa en 1944 l'Armée impériale japonaise et l'Armée nationale révolutionnaire chinoise pendant la guerre sino-japonaise. L'attaque japonaise faisait partie de l'Opération Ichi-Go, laquelle avait pour notamment but de réaliser une jonction entre les territoires chinois déjà occupés par leurs troupes, afin d'affermir leur contrôle sur le pays. Après des affrontements dans le Hunan et le Guangdong, les Japonais approchèrent Guilin et Liuzhou. Les troupes chinoises étaient notamment composées de rescapés de la quatrième bataille de Changsha, et disposaient d'effectifs insuffisants pour défendre Guilin. Après dix jours de combat, les Chinois évacuèrent Guilin, puis Liuzhou, parvenant fin novembre à contrôler les deux tiers du Guangxi. L'échec fut important pour les troupes chinoises, qui se retirèrent précipitamment, et abandonnèrent de surcroît beaucoup de matériel dans leur retraite. Les Japonais subirent néanmoins un désavantage tactique du fait de cette victoire, car en augmentant le territoire sous leur contrôle, elle les obligeait à disperser davantage leurs troupes en Chine, les rendant plus vulnérables à des attaques chinoises.
