On June 3, the 5th Division of the Jiangbei Army and the 4th Division of the Jiangbei Army arrived at Dongyu Town almost simultaneously and launched a fierce attack on the remnants of the Japanese army.

On June 4, Chen Jian's cavalry finally made a big circle and returned to Dongyu Town, joining the siege of the Japanese army. On June 5, after several days of hard fighting, about 3,500 Japanese troops fled back to the warship, and the remaining 1,500 soldiers in Dongyu Town were either killed or captured.

On June 6, Wang Yongan sent a telegram to the whole country, and the Jiangbei Army won a complete victory, annihilating more than 40,000 Japanese troops (including the Chinese Wing and the Taiwan Wing) of the Japanese Crusade Army, and capturing more than 10,000 prisoners alive. Although the Japanese casualty statistics in the telegram report were slightly watery (exaggerating enemy casualties), the operation against Japan was undoubtedly successful. The Jiangbei Army did not achieve the strategic goal of completely annihilating the 16th Division and the 17th Division in the pre-war plan, but completely annihilated the 17th Division, disabled the 16th Division, captured a Japanese Major General (Aoki Jiahe), 4 officers of Dazuo, captured more than 6,000 people, annihilated more than 28,000 Japanese troops, plus the Battle of Langshan Port, the Japanese army was killed a total of 36,000 people. However, according to the statistics of the Japanese army, the number of Japanese casualties was only 31,000, and perhaps in the minds of the Japanese, Taiwanese could not be regarded as Japanese soldiers at all. Such a fruitful record really made the Japanese vomit a mouthful of blood, not to mention the nerves and bones, and made Japan's national fortunes stagnant.

This battle with the Japanese army was called the Jiangdu Battle by the domestic media because the final decisive battle took place in Jiangdu County, Jiangbei, and this victory was called the Jiangdu Victory by everyone.

The news of Jiangdu's victory spread very quickly throughout the country, and various media and newspapers even repeatedly exaggerated the news of the victory, and the whole country immediately boiled. All parts of the south, the north, the Central Plains, the southwest, and the northwest were all thunderous, and none of the young people could sleep, and even some radical students began to set off fireworks to celebrate the victory of Jiangdu.

Yuan Shikai, Sun Yat-sen, Li Liejun, Li Yuanhong and other domestic bigwigs sent telegrams to congratulate Wang Yongan on leading the Jiangbei Army to achieve such a victory, which was actually a great glory for China, so that the foreign powers who looked down on China at the beginning could finally face up to today's China. In China at the end of the Qing Dynasty, where was there such a glorious moment, which time was not beaten to the ground, which time was not the loss of power and humiliation of the country, and even the undefeated defeat of the war against France. Not to mention anything else, from the perspective of war alone, the great victory in Jiangdu can be called the most classic battle in modern warfare, and it is also the most arduous battle. Not only did the north and the south send officers to conduct on-the-spot inspections to listen to reports, but even foreign military attachés also went to Jiangbei to learn from experience, and in particular, the Germans were the most enthusiastic, and a large number of German officers went to Jiangbei in the hope that they could inspect all the information on the battle in Jiangbei, even including material supplies.

Of course, Wang Yongan did not hesitate to hide all the information on the battlefield and give it to everyone, but once it comes to material mobilization and other logistical information, the Jiangbei Army will not disclose any information. A great credit for this victory came from Yuan Shikai's strong support, and even in the later battles, all the bullets and shells of the Jiangbei Army were provided by Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army, Wang Yongan not only released all the prisoners of the Beiyang Army, but even gave Jiang Dengxuan an order that no objection to any proposal of the northern representatives was allowed in the North-South peace talks.

Today's Jiangbei Army, just like the winner who defeated the opponent in the boxing ring, but was also beaten by the opponent all over the body, anyone can destroy the Jiangbei Army as long as they move their fingers, but no one dares to do anything to the Jiangbei Army, and in terms of justice and morality, no one dares to offend the public.

Yuan Shikai sent an invitation to Wang Yongan, inviting him to meet in Beijing to discuss the establishment of the Republic of China in the future, and promised him an important task. Wang Yongan then carefully discussed with Zhang Jian and others whether to go to Beijing and how to go to Beijing.

The news of the defeat of the Japanese crusading army (the defeat of the Jiangdu Battle) was transmitted back to Japan, and it set off a wave of defections against the government in Japan.

Citizens of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Nagoya took the lead in demonstrations demanding punishment of China, and then large-scale demonstrations began to break out in Tokyo, Ohan, Sendai, and other places.

The demonstrations of the Japanese people suddenly caught the new Japanese cabinet off guard, which had just been in office for less than 10 days, and the new prime minister, Gonbei Yamamoto, never dreamed that the Japanese army would be defeated so badly. As early as when Katsura Taro went into the wilderness, Yamamoto Gonbei's opinion was that since Nantong had been occupied and the previous strategic goal had been achieved, the war could be stopped, but Uehara Yusaku did not see it that way, and he was carried away by the victory, and he promised Yamamoto Gonbei that if he was given half a month, he would definitely be able to occupy Yangzhou. A few days later, Uehara proposed to occupy Jiangdu in response to Yamamoto's negotiations with China.

Yamamoto Gonbei considered that Jiangdu was the gateway to Yangzhou after all, and the occupation of Jiangdu in Yangzhou would also be conducive to negotiations with China, so he accepted Yusaku Uehara's suggestion. At the same time, Yamamoto Gonbei also knew from all sides that everything was going well for the crusading army against China, and the Jiangbei Army had suffered heavy defeats one after another where the army had passed, and it seemed that it would be able to occupy Jiangdu. Only ten days later, Yusaku Uehara's crusading army suffered the greatest defeat in Japanese history, tens of thousands of crusading troops were almost completely annihilated, and only 3,500 people fled back to Japan in a hurry under the cover of the navy.

Different from the defeat in the Battle of Langshan Port, the defeat in the Battle of Jiangdu this time can be said to have no excuse on the Japanese side, and it was indeed a great defeat for Japan, and the defeat was so unexpected, but it was so cowardly. After learning all the progress of the Battle of Jiangdu, Yamamoto Gonbei couldn't help but exclaim bitterly: "Deliberately showing weakness and encircling our army on all sides, this plan is similar to Han Xin's plan to kill the Wujiang Battle of the Overlord of Chu!" ”

So it came out from the Prime Minister's Mansion that the Chinese had ambushed and defeated the powerful Japanese army on all sides, making the Japanese Army even more afraid to underestimate the Jiangbei Army, an army that fought in the south and in the north.

"Kyoto News" first quoted Yamamoto Gonbei's "ambush on all sides" once, and then this word spread to China, but was quoted by major Chinese media, causing heated discussions among the whole people, as if all of a sudden military fans all over the world have become military experts, and they have discussed that the war should be fought this way and that way, okay, Jiangbei has become a place that military fans all over the world yearn for, and people continue to come to Jiangbei to visit, as if they can command thousands of troops and horses.
