Second Sino-Japanese War - Operation Ichi-Go

Time: Wednesday Apr 19, 1944

Place: Henan, China - Hunan, China - Guangxi, China

Details: In 1944, with the Japanese position in the Pacific deteriorating rapidly, the IJA mobilized over 500,000 men and launched Operation Ichi-Go, their largest offensive of World War II, to attack the American airbases in China and link up the railway between Manchuria and Vietnam. This brought major cities in Hunan, Henan and Guangxi under Japanese occupation.
