WI: Japan knocks out China 1938-1941
Lets say events occur this way. Changsha and Hengyang are captured in October 1939, not 1944. Japanese subjugates Guangxi in late 1940. Chinese Communist Party forces completely decimated during Hundred Regiments offensive, in December 1940. Communists and Nationalists clash in January 1941 during New Forth Army incident and cooperation between the two ends. Japanese conquer Hunan and take Chungking, all resistance after this collapses by end of 1941. Would finishing the Chinese campaign and the dispatching of more troops and planes, from China, help win the war in the Pacific? Overall what would the result be for China if Japan still loses the war?
