Explanation of the Battle of Xuzhou

A battle during the Anti-Japanese War. In late January 1938, in order to open up the Jinpu Railway, the Japanese army mobilized 240,000 people and attacked Xuzhou from the north and the south. Commander-in-Chief of China's Fifth War Zone, Li Zongren, led an army of about 600,000 to defend Xuzhou. After the Japanese Thirteenth Division of the Southern Front fell into Bengbu, it was blocked by the Huaihe River. The Japanese troops on the northern front were stubbornly resisted by the Chinese defenders in Taierzhuang, and more than 10,000 people were wiped out. The Japanese army changed its tactics, used a small number of troops to contain the frontal defenders, and concentrated eight divisions to circle west to surround Xuzhou. The defenders then broke through to the border of Anhui and Henan. On May 19, Xuzhou fell.
