Building up strength, the Japanese went on the offensive again on 12 March 1940. This time they attacked west toward Lungchou near the French Indochina border to threaten a flank attack on Chinese positions. Lungchou fell to Japanese troops on 2 July 1940, but a Chinese counterattack drove the Japanese back. Lungchou was in Chinese hands again on 28 October, and Nanning, on the 29th.
