Notes:

1. 16th Army Group and 26th Army Group were original defenders of Gwangxi. Other units were reinforcements which gradually arrived from Hunan, Gwangtung, and Szechuan.

2. On 18 December the Chinese launched a successful counter-offensive against the Japanese in the Kwangsi Province. To support the Chinese Kwangsi-offensive and direct the air-units the more experienced 1st ARC (Colonel Chang Ting-Meng) temporarily replaced the 2nd ARC (Colonel Hsing Chan-Fei) at Liuchou, with the 2nd ARC moving to rear positions at Kwei-Lin.

Taking part in the offensive were 115 aircraft of the 3rd, 4th and 5th PGs, 6th BG, 18th PS and one of the Soviet groups.
