Overview:

By March of 1938 Japanese forces controlled most of the Chinese Shandong Province. Despite the official non-expansionist policy that the Japanese High Command had enacted, the China Garrison Army continued to advance. To counter the Japanese aggression, the Chinese had gathered an army 600,000 strong in the Jiangsu Province immediately to the south. Ultimately, it was the Japanese intention to capture the city of Xuzhou, but in order to do so, they needed to isolate and reduced the small garrison at Tengxian first. The Chinese garrison of 2,000 men hunkered behind the city’s ancient walls having first brought all the supplies they had inside the town and sealing the north and south gates. Timely arrival of reinforcements from the south was their only hope of withstanding the siege. Believing that reinforcements were on the way, the Chinese Commanding Officer, Wang Mingzhang, asked his men to hold for four hours.
