I am going to add a discussion of the actions of the various War Areas to execute the offensive and the Japanese actions/reactions to them.
I have partial oob from the account too.
As big an effort as this seems to have been I am surprised it is not better known.
So what do I need to clean up?
This is a really difficult article to read. I think the editors of it should start by creating a good framework to build off of. Oberiko 14:34, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
Do NOT add japanese victory unless a specific source says japanese victory, or chinese defeat. forming your own conclusion from given information from the articles is ORIGINAL RESEARCH see Wikipedia:No original research.
Its a fact that the japanese were militarily frustrated in Suiyuan and Ningxia by Ma Hongbin, who derailed their plans for a puppet state in the area during the offensive. The japanese did NOT complete their objectives- source. Дунгане ( talk) 05:49, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
western source Both played important roles in the defense of western Suiyuan during the Japanese campaign early in 1940 in the Wuyuan sector. General Ma Hung-pin's troops suffered heavy casualties but fought on and finally repulsed the enemy. Дунгане ( talk) 07:16, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
Well, I eventually did find a source from a notable expert in the field, Lloyd Eastmam, who explicitly writes that the battle was a Chinese defeat (I guess Rummel's "fiasco" wasn't strong enough to convince you that the campaign was a disaster for the GMD). Stymying a massive offensive is usually considered a defeat for the defenders. Also, nowhere does Lloyd Eastman (or Rummel, or van de Van's "War and Nationalism in China") talk about the Suiyuan and Ningxia campaign, a seemingly insignificant campaign that I believe you've blown way out of proportion to create the image that the campaign was a tie. Nice independent research, though! Maybe someday you can change how history is written and write your own book and argue that the Winter Offensive was a tie (笑).

When did this start and end?
From what I've found (not much), I've found that it started on 1 November 1939 and ended sometime in late May, only date I've seen was the 24th, of 1940. If you provide the dates, that would be nice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cnd474747 ( talk • contribs) 18:07, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
I would recommend the renaming of this article to "1939-40 Chinese Winter Offensive" as the current article name does not reflect that which party conducted this offensive. DCTT ( talk) 09:25, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
