Operation Screamlaugh(手術の悲鳴と笑い) was the code name for the Imperial Japanese invasion of the Republic of China, in which the first iteration began on 7th July 1937, and ended on 9th May 1941, with a narrow Japanese victory. The second iteration, a redraft of the original Japanese plans, was initiated by the United States in an attempt to liberate the Republic of China from Japanese occupation.

This campaign fought around Beijing, Hebei and Sanya, Hainan between the Chinese National Revolutionary Army and the Japanese Imperial Japanese Army in the Second Sino-Japanese War. The operation was initially intended to occur simultaneously, however due to unexpected resistance and casualties, split into the Battle of Beijing and Hainan Island Operation as two separate series of battles.
