While I was looking at the idea of coming up with something of a list of (some of) the participating planes in the war and their performances, I noticed this...

But aren't the Japanese already attacking the targets in North China? Because in December 1943, it says...

* Japan launches strategic bombing campaign against targets in North China and Manchuria

Considering that Formosa is on the attack list as of April 1944, I assume you had 'South China' in mind when you typed that. Or is it perhaps something else?

Japanese Strategic Bombing Campaigns:
- First North Central Campaign. Targets Shanghai, Shandong, Nanjing, Qingdao, and Ningbo. Begins March 1944 and continues to June 1944. Chinese air defenses manage to deal with many of the raids, and in mid-June 1944, Japan ends the campaign to re-evaluate following severe losses in a raid on Nanjing.
- First North Interior Campaign: Targets Beijing. Begins May 1944 and ends June 1944. Runs concurrently with the First North Central Campaign. Ends alongside the First North Central Campaign due to severe losses.
- First Northern Campaign: Target: Shenyang and Harbin. Begins June 1944 and ends August 1944. Japan makes repeated attacks in northern China against railheads, airfields, and army concentrations; the campaign uses units previously engaged in the North Central and North Interior bombing campaigns.
- Second North Central Campaign: Targets Shanghai, Shandong, Nanjing, Qingdao, and Ningbo. Begins August 1944 and ends September. Japan re-starts the bombing campaign, making particular efforts to attack airfields and air-defense centers such as Chinese radar stations. Japanese radar-jamming efforts temporarily neutralize the Chinese radar equipment. All major Chinese airfields suffer heavy damage, and the Chinese air-warning network in the region collapses. Japanese losses are initially heavy, but taper off by September. Chinese airmen nevertheless manage to preserve the majority of their fighters and interceptors.
- Second North Interior Campaign: Targets Beijing. Begins September 1944 and ends in October. Objective is a saturation-raiding strategy on Shanghai. This campaign is a mistake since it replaces the North Central Campaign, allowing Chinese forces there to recover.
- Second Northern Campaign: Targets Shenyang and Harbin. The collapse of Chosen's army in October causes the Japanese to terminate the Second North Interior Campaign and focus exclusively on strategic bombing to attack munitions dumps, transport hubs, and army concentrations behind Chinese lines. Despite interference from the weather, this campaign is brutally effective and prevents the complete destruction of the Chosenian Army and Japanese Expeditionary Forces in October and November. The effectiveness of this campaign, once demonstrated to the Japanese, results in this campaign being maintained with various quantities of forces throughout the rest of the war.
- Southern Campaign: Targets Wenzhou, Fuzhou, and Quanzhou.
- Naval Taiwan Campaign: Taipei, Those Little Island Bases.
- Naval Southern Campaign: Targets Zhanjiang, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou.
- Third North Central Campaign: Targets: Shanghai, Shandong, Nanjing, Qingdao, and Ningbo.
