Together with the Zhanggang Town Blocking Battle and the Qiaoye Town Blocking Battle, the Battle of Jiangdu was fought, and on the 27th, the main force of the Japanese army arrived outside Jiangdu City. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Fang Xianwu arranged the 1st Division of the Jiangbei Army, the 5th Division of the Jiangbei Army, the 8th Division of the Jiangbei Army, the 9th Division of the Jiangbei Army, the 10th Division of the Jiangbei Army, 10 supplementary regiments, 10 garrison regiments, and 6 artillery regiments, with a total strength of 120,000 troops. Jiangdu County is almost the Venice of the East, there are many rivers inside and outside the city, many rivers do not even have names, their rivers are deep and wide, because the ancient rivers are the places where the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal converges, the rivers here are built to help ships come and go. However, it is precisely because of the large number of rivers that it is difficult for Jiangdu County to develop and grow, and it is impossible to meet the needs of modern circulation.

Fang Xianwu chose Jiangdu as a defense, which created trouble for the Japanese and his own people, but on the whole, the Japanese were in greater trouble. In order to make trouble for the Japanese, Fang Xianwu even demolished the door panels of various houses outside the city, cut down big trees, and forced the Japanese to lie down and cross the river. And the Jiangbei Army will never follow Song Xianggong's words about benevolence and righteousness, and they will definitely shoot the Japanese to death in the water.

On the Japanese side, after Yusaku Uehara forced away Nagaoka Gaishi, he personally took charge of the rest of the 16th Division as the Chinese army, under the jurisdiction of the 30th Brigade Regiment, the 20th Cavalry Wing, the 22nd Field Artillery Wing (partial), the 16th Engineer Wing, and the 16th Baggage Wing, but because of the long-term battle and the wounded soldiers left in the rear, the total strength is now less than 10,000 people.

Yusaku Uehara didn't know that the army opposite him had gathered almost all the strength of the Jiangbei Army, and he didn't know that the Jiangbei people had almost evacuated all the supplies in the rear in order to deal with the Japanese army. In the city of Yangzhou, the capital of Jiangbei, now even all the civil servants and students of the Jiangbei government have all gone up to the city wall, Wang Yongan recruited from the refugees to climb the city wall of Yangzhou tonight, just to prevent the Japanese from suddenly attacking Yangzhou. But in fact, this song is superfluous, the Japanese did not have any troops to attack Yangzhou, and now that the Jiangbei army is victorious, it is impossible for the Jiangbei people to give up resistance.

The biggest problem facing the Japanese army today is the criss-crossing waterways of Jiangdu County, which has led to the inability of the Japanese artillery wing to deploy.

The retreat of the Jiangbei Army step by step actually gradually trapped the Japanese army in the trap of Jiangdu County, and trapped the Japanese army inside and outside Jiangdu County, which was crisscrossed by rivers. When the Japanese army arrived in Jiangdu County, the decisive battle of the Battle of Jiangdu officially began.

The 22nd Wing of the Japanese Field Artillery carried out a bombardment of Jiangdu County to stop vomiting, and the 30th Brigade began to attack, but Fang Xianwu officially began to kill the Japanese army, they used the fortifications to fiercely return fire to the Japanese army, and the Makqin machine gun group beat the Japanese wave charge to the ground.

The Fujita Brigade of the 30th Brigade was directly hit by the Maxim machine gun group, and only half of the brigade remained, and the Sanchi Brigade arrived under the city of Jiangdu, but was fiercely attacked by grenades and had to retreat in a hurry.

Yusaku Uehara increased the intensity of the attack, and the battle became more and more intense, and suddenly the Japanese army drilled out from the east side of the capital city and broke through the defensive position in the north of the river, and when the Japanese army was happy, they found that their second defensive position was stronger than the first anti-bone. The Jiangbei Army organized a fierce counterattack and directly wiped out this sudden Japanese army.

Yusaku Uehara was not in a hurry to go down to the capital in a fight, he now estimated that the Chinese defenders should have two divisions of Chinese troops, so he was waiting for the 16th Brigade of Nagaoka Goshi on the left flank and the 17th Division of Aoki Kaho on the right flank to encircle the Etoshi.

On the evening of the 27th, the Jiangbei Army organized a wave of night attacks on the Japanese army, and Meng Qingfu, the king of Jiangbei soldiers, personally led a 300-man death squad to break into the Japanese camp. 300 Jiangbei warriors used only broadswords and daggers to frantically slash and kill the Japanese baggage troops, and many Japanese baggage soldiers were directly hacked to death in their sleep. The Chinese and Japanese soldiers engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat in the baggage camp camp, and soon reinforcements from the 16th Wing of the Japanese Engineer Brigade came to support, and Meng Qingfu ordered to throw grenades while making mixed mines. As a mixture of mines, the grenade's cable was tied to the road, and the Japanese soldiers kicked the wire when they ran to detonate the grenade.

The lethality of this mine was not very strong, but it had a great deterrent effect on the Japanese army, and as a soldier of the engineer wing, after encountering the mine one after another, he lost the courage to pursue and returned to the battalion. General Fang Xianwu's night attack caused great damage to the Japanese army's living forces, so he sent Meng Qingfu to organize night attacks on the Japanese army many times.

After dawn on the 28th, the Japanese army discovered that the various battalion headquarters had been attacked many times overnight yesterday, and the attacking and defending sides had lost their identities, and the Japanese army had lost nearly 300 people in one night. Uehara was furious and ordered a storming of the capital city, allowing the artillery to bombard the city at all costs.

It happened that dozens of civilians in a village refused to leave the battlefield and were captured by the Japanese army, and the Japanese killed all these dozens of civilians in order to vent their anger. Later, the Japanese may have killed the red eye, rushed into a temple, and killed all the monks in the temple.

Although the Japanese artillery fire was fierce, Fang Xianwu still heard from their artillery fire that the intensity of their artillery bombardment was decreasing, and the Japanese had problems with logistics, especially after coming to Jiangdu, the criss-crossing rivers caused great problems for the supply and transportation of materials and ammunition for the Japanese army.

Fang Xianwu decisively ordered to send a telegram to Chen Jian and Liu Hui, who remained in the rear of the Japanese army, and the 3rd and 4th divisions of the Jiangbei Army immediately attacked Nantong County. There were only 2,000 Japanese troops in Nantong County, and most of them were wounded soldiers, and there was no heavy weapon defense. The Chinese army suddenly gathered into a whole, and suddenly there was a fierce attack on the county town of Nantong by more than 20,000 people, which made the Japanese defenders stunned for a moment.

After a day of onslaught, Chen Jian and Liu Hui's troops broke into the city of Nantong and soon engaged the Japanese in street fighting. Due to the lack of ammunition on both sides, many battles had to start with hand-to-hand combat, and the hand-to-hand combat ended, and the Jiangbei army, relying on the superiority of numbers and the support of the people in the rear, after fierce battles on the 28th, 29th and 30th, completely wiped out the Japanese defenders in Nantong, and completely cut off the Japanese crusading army in front. And after five days of fighting, the Japanese crusading army's third-line troops made no progress, and the casualties gradually increased, Uehara Yusaku had gradually realized that perhaps this was a trap, and Jiangdu Castle was not a meat on the board, but a bait with poison.
