  • The Battle of Suixian-Zaoyang, also known as the Battle of Suizao was one of the 22 major engagements between the National Revolutionary Army (NRA) and Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) during the Second Sino-Japanese War. Near the end of April, 1939, to secure their gains after the Battle of Wuhan, 4 divisions from the IJA launched two simultaneous attacks on the cities of Suizhou and Zaoyang, along the Xiangyang-Huayuan Highway and Jingshan-Zhongxiang Highway respectively. The bulk of the NRA 5th Military Region was defending the area. In early May the armies clashed along the roads, but the NRA was forced to retreat on 7 May 1939. Suizhou and Zaoyang both fell on the same day. On the 8th the Japanese force advanded further south, and the commander-in-chief of the 5th Theatre, Li Zongren, deployed two army groups, the 31st Army Group from the 5th Theatre, and the 2nd Army Group from the 1st Theatre, to attack the IJA army from the rear. A full-scale assault was launched on the 15th, and after 3 days of intense fighting the IJA began to retreat. On the 19th Zaoyang was retaken; Suixian was retaken 23 May. The IJA failed to achieve its objective and the battle ended in Chinese victory, with Chinese casualties of 9,000, and Japanese casualties of 13,000.
  • La bataille de Suixian-Zaoyang, aussi connue sous le nom de bataille de Suizao fut l'un des 22 affrontements majeurs qui opposèrent l'Armée nationale révolutionnaire de la République de Chine à l'Armée impériale japonaise, durant la Seconde Guerre sino-japonaise. Vers la fin d'avril 1939, afin de conforter leur victoire lors de la bataille de Wuhan, quatre divisions de l'Armée impériale japonaise lancèrent deux attaques simultanées sur les villes de Suizhou et de Zaoyang, respectivement le long de la route Xiangyang-Huayuan et de la route Jingshan-Zhongxiang. Début mai, les deux armées commencèrent à s'affronter, mais l'armée chinoise fut forcée de se replier le 7 mai 1939. Suizhou et Zaoyang tombèrent le même jour. Le 8 mai, les forces japonaises avancèrent plus au sud et le commandant en chef de l'armée chinoise, Li Zongren, déploya deux divisions (la 31e et la 2e) pour attaquer l'armée impériale par l'arrière. Un assaut de grande ampleur fut déclenché le 15 mai et, après trois jours de combats intenses, l'Armée impériale fut forcée de se replier. Le 19 mai, Zaoyang fut reprise, et Suizhou le 23. L'armée impériale du Japon avait échoué à atteindre ses objectifs et la bataille se termina par une victoire chinoise.
