Chengchow (Zhengzhou, 113.65E
34.75N)
was the center of a rich agricultural region of central China, and it had food processing
plants as
early as the beginning of the 20th century. It owed much of
its growth to the
junction of major north-south and east-west
railways.
The city was close to the front line throughout most of the Pacific War, but was finally occupied by the Japanese on 20 April 1944, at the very start of Ichi-go.
