The Battle of West Hubei, was one of 22 major engagements between the National Revolutionary Army and Imperial Japanese Army during the Second Sino-Japanese War. It was also one of four major battles that took place in Hubei.
It resulted in a Chinese strategic victory, although they lost more troops than the Japanese Army. However, that states that it ended in a tactical draw.
Results
The Chinese government and Western media reported that the Chinese had scored a major victory.[1] Historian Barbara W. Tuchman had another opinion, however. She wrote that the "Japanese withdrew without pursuit from what appeared to have been a training and foraging offensive to collect rice and river shipping."[2]
