Pang Bingxun (Traditional Chinese: 龐炳勳 Simplified Chinese: 庞炳勋 pinyin: Pang Bingxun; Wade–Giles: Pang Ping-hsun) (October 25, 1879- January 12, 1963) was a high-ranking nationalist military commander who fought against the Imperial Japanese Army and Chinese Communist Army. He stopped the IJA 5th Division led by General Seishirō Itagaki, one of the principal architects of the 1931 Manchurian incident, from capturing Linyi and converging with General Rensuke Isogai's IJA 10th Division at Tai'erzhuang District, foiling their plan to assault Xuzhou.
