Battle of Guilin – Liuzhou The Battle of Guilin – Liuzhou ( ) , also known as the Battle of Guiliu was one of the 22 major engagements between the National Revolutionary Army ( NRA ) and Imperial Japanese Army ( IJA ) during the Second Sino - Japanese War . This battle was the third of the three - part Battle of Henan - Hunan - Guangxi , also known as Operation Ichigo . As part of the said Operation , a major aim of this attack was to connect the pieces of Japanese - held territory , and also , to destroy airbases in the area which were housing USAAF aircraft . In August , after battles in Hunan and Guangdong , the 11th and 23rd Armies of the IJA launched attacks towards Guilin and Liuzhou , respectively . The NRA troops defending the area were mainly the remnants from the Battle of Hengyang , and therefore , only 20 , 000 troops were at Guilin on 1 November when the Japanese started their attack on the city . The government of China knew that it was not to hold Guilin continually , but deliberately extended the battle for domestic political reasons , sending food and supplies to the besieged . Most civilians fled weeks before from Guilin , it was scorched heavily by fire . Guilin had been reinforced with the most defences , pillboxes , barbed wire , and the Guangxi troops under the command of Muslim General Bai Chongxi . General Joseph Stillwell , who was friendly with Bai , went to great pains to send American munitions to Bai ' s forces . Trenches were dug amind the hills . After 10 days of intense fighting , the Japanese occupied Guilin , and on the same day entered Liuzhou as well . Fighting continued sporadically as Chinese forces made their rapid retreat , and on 24 November the Japanese were in control of 75 counties in Guangxi , roughly 2 / 3 its area , and are said to have killed 215 , 000 civilians in reprisal and during crossfire , wounding more than 431 , 000 . Evaluation . After Guilin and Liuzhou were lost , most NRA troops lost morale and retreated without ever engaging the enemy , resulting in tremendous loss of materiel and manpower . In addition , despite substantial air superiority provided by USAAF and NRA aircraft , the Chinese did not utilise these advantages effectively and lost battles in mere days , making this one of the most devastating losses during the entire Second Sino - Japanese war . However , despite having destroyed the airbases in this region , the USAAF could still strike at the Japanese main islands from their other bases . Although the Japanese partially accomplished the goals of Operation Ichigo , it increased the area that Japanese troops had to defend , and substantially thinned out their lines , setting up a favourable situation for subsequent counterattacks by Chinese forces .

Daw ' s Castle Daw ' s Castle ( or " Dart ' s Castle " or " Dane ' s Castle " ) is a sea cliff hill fort just west of Watchet , a harbour town in Somerset , England . It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument . The name comes from Thomas Dawe , who owned " castell " field in 1537 . The fort is situated on an east - west cliff about above the sea , on a tapering spur of land bounded by the Washford River to the south , as it flows to the sea at Watchet , about 1 km east . The ramparts of the fort would have formed a semicircle backing on to the sheer cliffs , but coastal erosion has reduced the size of the enclosure , and later destruction by farming , limekilns , and the B3191 road , have left only about of ramparts visible today . The fort may be of Iron Age origin , but was ( re ) built and fortified as a " burh " by King Alfred , as part of his defense against Viking raids from the Bristol Channel around 878 AD . It would have been one of a chain of forts and coastal lookout posts , connected by the " Herepath " , or " military road " , which allowed Alfred to move his army along the coast , covering Viking movements at sea . Excavations have revealed a first phase of defence with a mortared wall fronting an earth bank from this period . Then a second phase of defence in late 9th or early 10th centuries , also against Viking invaders . In the Burghal Hidage of 919 , nearby Watchet is attributed 513 hides , which converts to a defensive perimeter of 645 m . It is not clear whether this refers to the walls of the town , or of Daw ' s Castle high on the cliff above . The Anglo - Saxon Chronicle records a Viking raid on Watchet in 914 , but they were defeated " with great slaughter . . . so that few of them came away , except those only who swam out to the ships " There was a plundering raid in 987 , and another in 997 , with " much evil wrought in burning and manslaughter " A Saxon mint was established at Watchet in 1035 , and this was probably within the fort , rather than in the town below .
