  • The Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign, refers to a campaign by the China Expeditionary Army of the Japanese Imperial Army under Shunroku Hata and Chinese 3rd War Area forces under Gu Zhutong in the Chinese provinces of Zhejiang and Jiangxi from Mid May to early September,1942. On April 18, 1942, the United States launched the Doolittle Raid, an attack by B-25 Mitchell bombers from the USS Hornet on Tokyo, Nagoya, and Yokohama. The original plan was for the aircraft to bomb Japan and land at airfields in the unoccupied portion of China. Because the raid had to be launched earlier than planned, most of the aircraft ran out of fuel and crash-landed in the Chinese provinces of Zhejiang and Jiangxi. Sixty four airmen parachuted into the area around Zhejiang. Most were given shelter by the Chinese civilians but eight of the Americans were picked up by Japanese patrols; three were shot after a show trial for 'crimes against humanity'. The Japanese army then conducted a massive search for the other airmen and in the process whole towns and villages that were suspected of harboring the Americans were burned to the ground, and many civilians were executed. The Japanese also wanted to occupy the area to prevent American air forces from establishing bases in China from which they could reach the Japanese mainland. When Japanese troops moved out of the Zhejiang and Jiangxi areas in mid-August, they left behind a trail of devastation. Chinese estimates put the death toll at 250,000 civilians. In retaliation, the Imperial Japanese Army had also spread cholera, typhoid, plague and dysentery pathogens.
  • Zhejiang-Jiangxi-kampanjen var en militær kampanje som japanske styrker sammen med allierte styrker fra Manchukuo gjennomførte i de kinesiske provinsene Zhejiang og Jiangxi i 1942. Den 18. april 1942 gjennomførte amerikanske bombefly Doolittle-raidet, et angrep på Tokyo, Nagoya og Yokohama. Planen var at de etterpå skulle lande flyene på flyplasser i deler av Kina som ikke var okkupert av japanske styrker. Men fordi flyene måtte angripe før planlagt, og dermed da hangarskipet var lengre øst, gikk de fleste av flyene tom for drivstoff og krasjlandet i de kinesiske provinsene Zhejiang og Jiangxi. Sekstifire amerikanere landet i fallskjerm i dette området. De fleste ble holdt i skjul av kinesiske sivilister, men åtte av dem ble tatt til fange av japanske patruljer. De ble stilt for retten og etter en skueprosess ble de henrettet for «forbrytelser mot menneskeheten». Den japanske hær begynte så en massiv leteaksjon etter andre amerikanere, og under aksjonen brente de mange byer og landsbyer som var mistenkt for å ha hjulpet amerikanerne. Mange sivilister ble henrettet. Japanerne ønsket også å okkupere området for å forhindre at det amerikanske flyvåpen fikk etablert baser der og kunne nå de japanske hovedøyene igjen. Da de japanske styrker hadde gjort seg ferdig i Zhejiang og Jiangxi i midten av august, etterlot de seg store ødeleggelser. Så mange som 250 000 sivile kinesere var blitt drept.

В ходе этой операции японцы взяли несколько городов, военно-воздушную базу Лишуй и Чжэнцзян-Хунаньскую железную дорогу. Несколько китайских частей оказались в окружении (части 88-й и 9-й армий).
