The Battle of Yichang was fought in western Hubei on April 11, 1929 between the armies of Sichuan and Guangxi as part of the internal conflicts within the Kuomintang leading up to the Central Plains War. Both Liu Xiang and the new Guangxi clique were nominally independent from Chiang Kai-shek's authority despite their nominal affiliation with the Kuomintang.
