臺兒莊會戰

The Battle of Tai'erzhuang began today March 24th. It was part of the larger Battle for Xuzhou that would see its climax in May. This was mostly the Japanese underestimating the fighting spirit of the common rural farmer.

Two Generals Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi had plans to encircle the Japanese forces at Tai'erzhuang. The Japanese were over confident and overlooked flaws in their plans.
