Immediately after being formed in Hankou, the 58th Division was transferred to Yingcheng and continued at first to perform the security duties of the 18th Independent Mixed Brigade.

As the Japanese forces achieved a breakthrough, the division was assigned to the Eleventh Army headquarters in Liuzhou for garrison duty.

The 58th Division was subordinated directly to the China Expeditionary Army and ordered to retreat on 1 April 1945 following the start of the Battle of Okinawa.

The 94th Independent Infantry Battalion, garrisoning an area 30 km north-north-east of Liuzhou, was temporarily attached to the 3rd Division, arriving at Nanning on 13 April 1945.

The 106th Independent Infantry Battalion of the 58th division became the rear guard of the Eleventh Army and left Luzhai County on 4 July 1945.
