The Hainan Island Operation was part of a campaign by Japan during the Second Sino-Japanese War to blockade China to prevent it from communicating with the outside world and importing needed arms and materials. Control of Hainan Island would provide a base to make the blockade of Guangdong province more effective. At this time the coast to French Indochina was part of Guangdong province. It would also provide airbase that would permit stikes at the routes into China from French Indochina and Burma.
