This is the Fourteenth Air Force base at Liuchow [Liuzhou] as Americans accompanying the Chinese Ground Forces found it ditched, pitterd, cratered, and mined upon their arrival after the Japanese had evacuated it.
The air base at Liuchow was lost to the Japanese on 7 November 1944. Japanese were never able to capitalize it as Fourteenth Air Force bombers and fighters kept it non-operational.
