Many US students of the World War Two battles between the US and Japan have been focused on the Pacific Ocean battles between the naval, marine and airforces of both nations. What sometimes goes unnoticed were the massive Japanese battles that took place in China throughout WW 2. In the case of the battle in China of May of 1941, Japan launched an army of 50,000 troops against China. In a mountainous region occupied by eleven Chinese Kuomintang armies of 250,000 troops, Japan took advantage of the Chinese 4th army that was in the process of being reorganized, and won a tremendous victory. Earlier Japan had seized Hong Kong.
