The left and right commanders of the Jiangbei Army, the left commander Fang Xianwu is higher than the right commander Li Shirui in terms of seniority and status, and when he went to Mexico, Fang Xianwu was the chief of staff of the expeditionary force, and Li Shirui was only a battalion commander, so Li Shirui has always respected Fang Xianwu very much, this time Li Shirui stubbornly asked for the annihilation of the 17th Division, which really made Fang Xianwu have some surprises. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this battle against the Japanese army, Fang Xianwu was the main player, and Li Shirui was the auxiliary, but generally speaking, Li Shirui would not talk much, nor would he interfere in Fang Xianwu's command. After all, in the Battle of Wolf Mountain Port, Li Shirui's limelight was enough, and there was no need for him to steal Fang Xianwu's limelight.

Fang Xianwu is not a cautious person, Li Shirui must have his reason to stop him from being the most jealous of the 16th Division, so he frowned and thought about it. Originally, his plan was to annihilate the 16th and 17th Divisions, but the battle did not go well, the Japanese army broke out in a desperate situation, and Japanese veterans had rich battlefield experience, often killing a Japanese veteran even had to exchange the lives of three or four Jiangbei recruits. This does not mean that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese soldiers is lower than that of the Japanese army, only in terms of training and equipment, the Jiangbei Army was completely defeated by the Japanese army, but in terms of the will to fight and the determination to defend the country, the Jiangbei Army completely defeated the opponent. In fact, the equipment of the Jiangbei Army was not only inferior to the Japanese army, but even inferior to the Beiyang Army, and the reason why the Beiyang Army defeated the Beiyang Army one after another was that on the one hand, the Beiyang Army was arrogant, on the other hand, the Beiyang Army was unwilling to fight for the Qing Dynasty, and it was also caused by the Jiangbei Army's extremely strong will to fight to defend its hometown.

Fang Xianwu and Li Shirui speculated that the Japanese army had at least 7,000 to 10,000 troops in Taixian, and whether they could eat them in one go was a big question, but if they really didn't eat the 16th Division and let the 17th Division go, it would be more than worth the loss. But in fact, they underestimated the Jiangbei Army's lethality and consumption of the Japanese army, and they used blunt knives to cut flesh one by one, and they had already drained the blood of the Japanese army.

So after Li Shirui's persuasion, Fang Xianwu decided to eat the 17th Division first, and then Fang Xianwu ordered the 5th Division to continue the pursuit, the 3rd Division and the 4th Division to intercept the Japanese army, and the rest of the troops (except for the 2nd Division that suffered too much loss and continued to rest) immediately besieged the 17th Division in Qiaoye Town, north of Jiangdu.

The 17th Division of the Japanese Raiding Army did not receive the news of retreat, and the Japanese squadron responsible for delivering the news encountered the 10th Division on the way, but was completely wiped out by the 10th Division led by Sun Chuanfang, and even the prisoners were killed. After Xia Ming's international battalion chose to sacrifice himself in order to cover the 10th Division, the hatred of the 10th Division for the Japanese army was extremely strong, and the Japanese herald squadron first encountered the Feng military camp led by Zhang Zuoxiang, and this group of Fengjun soldiers who spoke Northeast dialect shouted: "Fuck the hell, oh damn don't run away with these deflated calves." The Japanese squadron resisted for a while and fled in the dark, but unfortunately encountered the Sichuan military camp led by Liu Xiang. The Japanese army had long since lost the strength to escape, and there was little ammunition left, so they had to choose to flee on their own, but they were still chased and killed by the Sichuan military camp, and the battalion commander Liu Xiang didn't even leave prisoners, and said to his subordinates: "Ge Laozi, Lao Tzu can't take a group of devils back to Sichuan?" ”

The officers and men of the 17th Division of the Japanese Army in Hashino Town have always had a wish in their hearts, that is, to make the 17th Division a standing division of Japan, and in order to achieve this goal, they very much hope to be able to make military achievements in China. However, they encountered an equally excellent defense, Wang Zhi, who was resourceful and cautious, and used more strategies to make the 17th Division never find its weakness. In addition, the 17th Division only had more than 6,000 people, and the artillery and artillery were divided into half of the main force in the center, which led to a big problem in the firepower of the 17th Division.

Another reason why the 17th Division was not as brave as the 16th Division was that the 17th Division had never really participated in any battles since its formation. The 17th Division was formed to replenish the forces of the Russo-Japanese War, but after the formation of the 17th Division, the Russo-Japanese War ended, and then the 17th Division became the target of disarmament in the disarmament plan promoted by the Saionji Gongwang.

Although Prime Minister Katsura Taro later helped them and sent them to the Korean Peninsula to suppress the Korean rebels and become the Korean garrison, the Korean rebels have always been unsuccessful, and they mainly focus on assassination, and small-scale uprisings were quickly extinguished, so the 17th Division has very little combat experience. In addition, because the 17th Division has always been on the verge of being disarmed and not being disarmed, officers with ability and ambition are unwilling to stay in the 17th Division as officers, and the combat effectiveness of the 17th Division has dropped a lot.

Therefore, on June 2, the main force of the 17th Division, which had a very slow response speed and low combat capability, was surrounded by more than 80,000 people from the six main divisions of the Jiangbei Army on the periphery of Qiaoye Town. When the commander of the 17th Division, Aoki Jiahe, finally realized the great danger, although he began to break through, he could no longer escape.

Under the command of Aoki Jiahe, the Japanese army immediately carried out a crazy breakthrough, but there were too many soldiers in the Jiangbei Army, and the morale of the Jiangbei Army was far greater than that of the opponent, and the remaining soldiers of the Jiangbei Army in the waves had very rich combat experience, and the Japanese 17th Division broke through several times but could not, but was cut into several sections by the Jiangbei Army, and was gradually eroded.

On June 4, after three days of hard fighting, Aoki Jiahe chose to surrender after burning the battle flags of the 17th Division.

At the same time that the rest of the 17th Division surrendered, the 16th Division and part of the remnants of the 17th Division were killed one after another in the pursuit battle with the 5th Division of the Jiangbei Army, and finally less than 4,000 people fled to Dongyu Town. The 17th Construction Regiment of the 17th Division led by Taro Senba is still stationed here in Dongyu Town, which is called the construction of a rear port and transportation wharf, but in fact it is to protect Lieutenant General Taro Senba.

You can't blame Senba Taro for being cowardly, after all, people have malaria, not to mention that Senba Taro has always been best at not commanding the army to fight, but as a head of an intelligence agency to sabotage behind enemy lines. At that time, as a subordinate of Aoki Xuanjun, he led the Japanese army in the Russo-Japanese War many times disguised as Chinese bandits to sabotage the logistics and transportation of the Russian army, which made the Russian army's supply poor, but his real command corps combat experience was almost zero, so he wisely chose to stay in the rear construction in this battle, which was also a wise performance not to cause trouble for Uehara.

But thanks to Taro Senba, a diligent logistics officer, the Japanese troops who fled back to Dongyu were able to quickly move to the sea and escape from China by boat.
