The decisive battle under Jiangdu City is a big trap dug by exhausting the wisdom of Fang Xianwu and Li Shirui for Uehara Yusaku, at this moment, even if Uehara Yusaku finds out that he has been fooled, he can no longer escape from this trap, and they only then find that they are surrounded under Jiangdu City. Five days after www.biquge.info the battle, the Japanese army had been reduced from 11,000 to 6,700 men, with 5,300 killed. The battle under the city of Jiangdu cannot be described as fierce, it can already be said to be a battle of purgatory.

The Jiangbei Army and the Japanese army repeatedly fought under the Jiangdu City, Fang Xianwu very skillfully used the strategy to drag the army of Uehara Yusaku under the Jiangdu City, consuming the opponent's ammunition and energy, and the defense line he set up made the Japanese always feel that they could be defeated in one breath, but they always just stepped on the Jiangbei Army position and were beaten back. The Chinese's position is like a radish caught in front of a donkey, which can be eaten every time with only one breath. So the Japanese didn't go, nor did they stay, Yusaku Uehara remembered that he almost had a cerebral bruise, but he couldn't do anything about the positions of the Chinese defenders in front of him.

On the evening of the 30th, Fang Xianwu and Li Shirui judged that the Japanese army had become the end of the strong crossbow and could now launch a general attack, so on the one hand, they reported to the military headquarters, and on the other hand, they began to prepare for a fierce attack on the Japanese army, with four divisions and 80,000 troops, to launch a full-line counteroffensive against the tired Japanese army of 6,000 to 7,000.

In accordance with Fang Xianwu's order, all participating units immediately launched an attack on the Japanese army, the first division was attacked by Dongzhuang, Jizhuang, and Guanqiao, the fifth division was attacked by Jiaozhuang, Kongzhuang, Fanzhuang, and Tanjiazhuang, the eighth division was attacked by Caojiazhuang, Chenjiazhuang, Jiangzhuang, and Dajiangzhuang, the ninth division was attacked by Huangjiazhuang, Maojiazhuang, and Nianzhuang, and the tenth division was attacked by Cangfang, Jiangjiawan, and Shijiaxia.

At two o'clock in the morning, that is, at two o'clock in the morning of the 31st, Fang Xianwu ordered six artillery regiments to carry out the first artillery general attack on the Japanese army, and he ordered the artillerymen to use up half of the shells within an hour. Of course, although the artillerymen did not want to be pressed and beaten by the Japanese army all the time, they also knew their actual situation, the combined firepower of the six artillery regiments of the Jiangbei Army was not as strong as the artillery firepower of a division of the Japanese army. However, Fang Xianwu did not completely hide the artillery, he asked an artillery regiment to occasionally counterattack the Japanese once or twice, bringing damage to the Japanese army, and also paralyzing the Japanese army, giving Uehara Yong a wrong hint, thinking that the Jiangbei artillery was nothing more.

The artillery attack of the Jiangbei Army at night really taught the Japanese a bloody lesson, and many Japanese soldiers were killed without even wearing clothes. Then at three o'clock in the morning, the infantry of the Chinese army launched a general attack on the Japanese position, and the shouts and shouts of more than 80,000 people shook the heavens and the earth, and the Japanese army was in a hurry. ”

However, the encirclement of the Chinese made them have nowhere to fight back, the Japanese soldiers were sleepy and exhausted, where was there still the strength to fight back, Yusaku Uehara couldn't help but shout: "We are fooled, the Chinese have been accumulating strength, they are like boxers, the whole game is silently next to our fists, they are not without the ability to fight back, but have been waiting for us to have no strength to escape." ”

Uehara Yusaku immediately made a judgment to withdraw his troops to Taixian, and he must withdraw immediately, facing the encircled Japanese army, the food, clothing, and tents that he could not take away before escaping did not hesitate to set fire to them, and the cannons that could not be taken away were also blown up, and even some Japanese soldiers could only bring back the relics of their fallen comrades, but could not bring back their corpses or ashes.

With this net, the Jiangbei soldiers have been preparing for Uehara Yusaku for a long time, how can they let Uehara Yusaku escape. The battle between the two sides in the dark night once again killed the red eyes, the Japanese army in despair showed a lot of courage also made the Chinese army suffer a lot, and even the Japanese army also surrounded the 10th Division when withdrawing, almost wiped out most of the 10th Division, if it was not for Xia Ming to make a decisive judgment and sacrifice himself in exchange for the victory of the 10th Division, Sun Chuanfang, Jiang Zhongzheng, Liu Xiang and others would inevitably be killed by the Japanese army.

However, with the dawn, the Japanese army's will to fight became worse and worse, on the other hand, the Jiangbei army became more and more courageous, and the Japanese army's Chinese army base camp was located in Dingjiagou, and many Japanese troops could not withdraw from Dingjiagou in the dark, so they stayed. When the Jiangbei Army entered Dingjiagou, some Japanese troops who had no time to withdraw frantically launched an attack on the Jiangbei Army, but in the end, these Japanese troops who desperately broke through but did not know the direction were wiped out on the west side of Dingjiagou.

On the afternoon of May 31, the Japanese troops breaking through to the west were outflanked and intercepted by the 9th Division, and the Japanese launched a suicidal attack, they rushed into the Jiangbei Army position with explosives tied to it, trying to blow up the gap. Huang Zhan, the commander of the 9th Division, ordered the formation of a machine gun position, and it was necessary to leave the Japanese army, and the two sides fought repeatedly in Tangtou Town, but as the machine gun ammunition of the 9th Division ran out, Huang Zhan's troops were finally broken through the defensive line by the Japanese army, and on June 1, the 16th Division broke through the temporary position in Tangtou Town and withdrew to Tai County.

At eight o'clock in the morning of June 2, just three hours after the 19th Brigade of the Left Wing of the Japanese Crusade Army had just moved into Tai County, the remnants of the 16th Division fled to Tai County in a hurry.

"It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and it should be immediately withdrawn to Rugao County, from Rugao County to Dongyu Town in Nantong County, and then evacuated by the navy." Nagaoka Waishi has no heart to fight with Uehara Yusaku at this moment, infighting is to be built on the basis of survival, and there is a problem with the survival of today's army, where is there still a mind to fight.

"What about the friendly forces of Nantong and Taixing?" Yusaku Uehara asked.

"I can't care so much, we must first ensure that the 16th and 17th divisions are not completely annihilated, otherwise we will lose too many people to the Japanese Empire." Nagaoka Waishi Road.

Yusaku Uehara said that our defeat this time has already lost a lot of people to Japan, and he sighed, he can only sacrifice other armies.

Nagaoka Gaishi said excitedly: "General, leave now, otherwise it will be too late!" The Chinese have cavalry, and they have large-scale cavalry. ”

Uehara Yusaku was taken aback, and now he did not hesitate, and the whole army rested for an hour, discarded all the burdens, and immediately withdrew to Rugao County. Nagaoka Waishi actually used the cavalry regiment of the second division to scare Yusaku Uehara, but he didn't expect that the Jiangbei Army really had a cavalry unit, the fourth division of the Jiangbei Army, and the division commander Chen Jian led the cavalry troops to kill in the direction of Taixian.
