Facing Tsitsihar, the Japanese field commander, Major General Hasebe, had the sluggish river on his left, the railway on his right. Wide swamplands made the Japanese left wing impregnable against Chinese attack. But against the exposed Japanese right wing General Ma flung his cavalry in charge after Chinese charge. On the centre of the battle front both armies were entrenched, fought each other with every...
