Japanese China Area Fleet

The China Area Fleet was the only significant portion of the Japanese Navy that was not under the command of Combined Fleet. It was organized to support the interminable war in China and consisted largely of naval infantry of the Special Naval Landing Forces, their supporting naval aircraft, and some river gunboats and destroyers.

2 China Fleet was originally organized in January 1941 to carry out coastal operations along the Fukien coast south to Canton. Four divisions and an air division were detailed to the fleet and eight regimental-scale amphibious landings took place in February and March alone, helping to seal off the Chinese coast.
