The fierce battle that took place under the ice and snow kept the Japanese warrior Yasuichi Ono and the Japanese soldiers who had gone through the battle for the rest of their lives.

In fact, before this, he didn't take this group of enemies into account. Yasuichi Ono's thoughts are not based on his arrogance, but on a kind of military research and judgment and actual combat experience.

Since he was stationed in Manchuria in the fifth year of the Showa era, Yasuichi Ono has grown from a grassroots officer to a military commander of a brigade. This is not only due to his graduation from the famous institution of the Army University, but also because of his acquired courage and good fighting.

Since the Manchurian Incident in Showa 6, he has fought against Zhang Xueliang's troops several times, and has also fought fierce battles with the elite First Army of the Chinese National Defense Army, although they all showed strong combat effectiveness, they still lost Manchuria.

This is very much in line with the bushido creed that Yasuichi Ono embraced. He believes that China is a backward country, and the domestic martial spirit is extremely weak, but the internal strife is very serious; These are the stark contrast between the united and brave soldiers of the Empire, so he has always believed that the strategy of the Empire's conquest is achievable.

This time will not be an exception!

Yasuichi Ono judged that the Shina army on the opposite side was just bluffing, trying to disrupt their deployment to cross the river through these, so there was no need to worry; Even if those enemies came to attack, he was not worried.

Ono Yasuichi knew that behind him were hundreds of thousands of elite divisions of the Kwantung Army, and even the strongest troops would not attack here, so he immediately sent out to reconnoiter the number of enemies, and judged that the enemy was only attacking, not really attacking.

Ono Yasuichi therefore firmly believes that nothing can stop the footsteps of the imperial army, this is strategic!

Tactically, Ono was not arrogant, after learning of the enemy's situation, he immediately conveyed the battle order, and mobilized the important wings under the brigade for deployment, an army of only a few thousand people, he thought that he could encircle and eat them before dawn, and even if they didn't eat, they would be able to drive them away, but the development of things was beyond his expectations.

Soon, he received the news that a brigade on the front line had been surrounded and annihilated, and he realized the seriousness of the problem, so he immediately reported to the division and regimental superiors. The Kwantung Army Command issued an order that he must eliminate the influence of this army on the crossing of the river by the large army before dawn.

After receiving the order, Yasuichi Ono personally deployed, he mobilized two wings to deploy in the front, he knew that the other side was very mobile, but in such weather conditions, it must be greatly reduced, so he decided to wait for his work, and ordered his subordinate wings and a tank brigade to immediately build a defensive line.

After the deployment, Yasuichi Ono went to sleep on the marching bed. Since he started to cross the river, he has not had a good rest for two days, and even though he is determined, his physical fatigue is still obvious.

Ono placed his ancestral * in front of his pillow, which was a habit he had passed down from his ancestors, and although it didn't make much sense to do so now, it still allowed him to maintain the routine of a samurai.

"Brigade commander! ......" Not long after he fell asleep, the guards rushed in in a hurry. As the curtain outside the tent opened, he saw the skyrocketing fires and moving figures outside.

"Yaga! What's going on? He immediately climbed up, and the flames of war were already burning in the distance, and he could even hear the roar of Chinese tanks and the fighting of officers and soldiers in the distance.

"Pick me up the co-captains of the various units! Where are our troops? Ono was a little angry.

"Your Excellency, the Sugiyama Wing and the Chariot Regiment have been broken up, and our defensive line has been broken by the enemy......" The staff officer reported the shocking news in grief.

"Yaga! I'm going to talk to Sugiyama Daisa on the phone, what the hell is his wing doing? Yasuchi Ono roared like crazy.

Seeing this scene, the officers and men of the communications office did not hesitate and immediately connected to the Sugiyama Wing. At first, it was not Sugiyama Daisa, who was still directing the operation, and after the caller conveyed the order, Sugiyama Daisa waited for a few minutes before he walked to the telephone to answer.

"Sugiyama-kun, what's going on?" As soon as Yasui Ono picked up the earpiece, a noisy background sound came from behind the earpiece, and Ono knew that it was a firefight between the two sides. Hearing this, his tone was much calmer.

"Hayi! General Ono, we were attacked by the main armored forces of the Shina Army...... Now the defense line has been broken by the enemy, right! We are trying to rebuild the defensive line, but the enemy has too much fire and too many troops......"

"Sugiyama-kun, the defense line of your wing is very important, now a large number of troops are crossing the Liao River, if your defense line is breached, it will have an impact on the entire river crossing and southward operation, do you understand?" Yasuichi Ono said in a very firm tone.

"Hayi! I understand......" The other end of the phone was cut off before it could be finished, Ono shouted loudly into the receiver for a long time, and finally slammed the receiver on the telephone in anger.

When Nakasa, who was in charge of communications next to him, saw it, he immediately said to the people around him: "Go and send someone to check the communication line to see if there is any damage?" ”

"Hayi!" A few junior officers ran out quickly. This time, Yasuichi Ono held the receiver and called the other wings and the independent tank regiment, and the answer was the same for everyone, they were under heavy attack from the enemy!

Yasuichi Ono couldn't help but frown.

How can it be? How can it be? How many troops did the enemy send to attack? A few hours ago, he was still the general in charge of the Empire's elite brigades, how could he become like a chicken and a dog in an instant?

Yasuichi Ono grabbed the binoculars and walked out of the tent with his * neatly draped, he did not follow the advice of the staff officers around him to the rear to dodge, he was a stubborn person, he must go to the front line to see, what kind of army can beat his steely brigade in such a short time?

Ono rushed to a high slope with a quick pace, and when he ran forward, he fell because he was too fast and because the snow was too slippery. He scolded and immediately stood up, and when he chose to be on a high place, he raised his binoculars and looked into the distance, only to notice the line of fire and tracer bullets burning from the southwest. He looked in the direction of the other defensive lines, and flares were rising, and he could imagine the battle going on over there!

"Your Excellency, General, the enemy has broken through the defensive line and is approaching us, and we need to transfer the command post now." An officer ran over briskly and reported to Ono. Yasuichi Ono didn't speak, he held the telescope in one hand and waved his hand in the other.

The officer hurried back and began to relay the order to transfer command. The brigade and regiment headquarters moved quickly, and the officers and men of the guard department, who were neatly clothed, began to pack up a series of things such as radio stations and maps and then move them. The men in charge of the transfer were battle-hardened soldiers, and despite all their indignation at the retreat, they would have carried out the action immediately.

Any action on the battlefield must be carried out with great speed, because you don't know when the enemy will attack, and by that time it may be too late to leave.

After Ono's command post was ready, the staff officers and guards came to find Koichi Ono, and the command post was about to be evacuated and transferred, and Yasuichi Ono would undoubtedly follow with him at this time.

At this time, Ono was still observing the activities of the enemy in the distance from the hillside, and the enemy was getting closer and closer, and the scene of fire was soaring in front of his eyes, and the flares illuminated the distance one after another, where the smoke and flames were rising to the sky.

"Your Excellency, General, it's time for us to go!" The staff officer stepped aside, and the guards followed and put on Ono's tweed coat.

"Hmm!" Yasu Ono nodded, he was about to turn around, suddenly, there was a shrill strange cry in the air, and Ono, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, naturally knew that it was the sound of a cannonball cutting through the air.

"Not good!" The guards immediately stepped forward and threw Ono to the ground, and at that moment, a cannonball exploded around Ono and the others, and the surroundings became quiet.

A moment later, Ono woke up from the mound of dirt, he wiped the hot and smoky mud in front of him, there were a lot of blood stains on it, the chief of staff Kadokawa was dead, his eyes were looking at him, and the tweed uniform was still burning.

He looked at the guard who had just fallen in front of him, this guy's death was worse than Kadokawa's, but thanks to this dutiful guard, otherwise he might have died in Huangquan.

Watching his two comrades being killed by a shell one after another, Xiao Ye couldn't help but feel annoyed.

But it hadn't lasted more than a few minutes before he heard a roar like an earthquake. He struggled to stand up, and under the blood color of the southwest direction of the voice, a black and oppressive figure was moving in this direction.

Yasusu Ono raised his binoculars, and the sight in front of him was unforgettable, on the unobstructed black soil of the northeast, on a frontage that was tens of kilometers wide, and his countless Chinese tanks, armored vehicles, and combat vehicles were overwhelmingly coming towards his position, and the soldiers let out a heartfelt roar.

Those roars, along with the tracks of the tanks, mercilessly crushed the spirits and bodies of the Imperial soldiers on the pre-battle line. Large-caliber machine guns on armored vehicles tore low trenches and Japanese soldiers to shreds.

"The line is broken! The line is broken! Yasuichi Ono glared angrily at the flames in the distance, and he pulled out the * on his waist to rush into the enemy line.

Fortunately, the other guards dragged him into the car, otherwise he would have died here like the soldiers. However, Ono, who picked up a life, was not lucky, and he knew that he had lost this battle.

In this battle, the Japanese army suffered more than 5,000 casualties, while the Chinese army suffered less than 1,000 casualties.
