"Reporting to the head, the 18th Japanese Infantry Regiment has arrived. Captain Masaoka Masaki of the Army is holding an evaluation meeting in his regiment headquarters behind. Please attend!" Captain Dongfang Tanosuke, the communications staff officer of the regiment headquarters, who jumped out of the camouflaged FJ18 Hummer command vehicle, jumped out of the vehicle to report. During this hour, this fellow ran back and forth between Lu Huanyan's regiment headquarters and the ranks of Lu Xingjun led by Chief Masaki Masaki behind. It conveys the latest enemy situation mastered by both sides. ,

Lu Huanyan's armored engineering company had already filled up the deep pits on the forest road, and the uncles blocking the road were dragged to the side of the road by the Chinese Fudao TT engineering truck. The remaining three companies of the 1st Armored Battalion have even established a temporary line of defense on both sides of the main road. 3 fd90ii wheeled armored combat vehicles have already passed the sidewalk and lined up on both wings. This is the mobile fortress on the defense line as a heavy firepower support point.

The vehicle-mounted infantry of the three companies built individual bunkers between the armored vehicles and the armored vehicles at an interval of 3 meters. One hour is not long or short. However, after being equipped with a forklift with excavation function, the construction was much easier than expected. This temporary field fortification in the forest was obviously prepared to deal with the enemy's division-level counterattack.

Colonel Lu Huanyan is a very meticulous Chinese general. The enemy in front of him is the two main Ukrainian divisions. The forest and wetlands on the banks of the Kharkov River are quite restrictive for his armored troops, so this guy is planning ahead and waiting. The 2th Japanese Infantry Regiment at the back came up and built such a field defense line first. If it weren't for the forests 18 meters away on both sides of the road becoming denser and more difficult to pass, this fellow originally planned to extend his position to the two wings to more than 500 meters.

The line of defense in front of him is more than 1 kilometer away from the outer security position of Ukraine in the south, and about 1 kilometers away from the right-wing defense line of the 2.5st Ukrainian Infantry Division. At this moment, the 1st Company of the 3st Armored Battalion of his On the west side of the main road [-] kilometers away under the command of the Ukrainians, there was a fierce battle with a cavalry battalion that the Ukrainians turned back to search, and the gunshots were even faintly discernible.

In this era, if you are in an open area on the plain, you can generally hear a single shot of a light weapon at a distance of 10002000-30004000m, and a burst of fire from a light weapon at a distance of 5-3m, and the ear can even reach about 1 kilometers farther away. In the forest area on the banks of the Corfu River, due to the cover of the bushes and towering old trees, the sound of the M[-] Garand of the coalition army and the Mosin Nagant rifles in the hands of the Ukrainians [-] kilometers away is only heard here. If not, it is only vaguely discernible.

"Regimental Commander! The Japanese Regiment Captain invites you to go to his Regiment Headquarters for a military meeting! If you can't leave, why don't we invite Your Excellency the Regiment Captain over here?" Dongfang, the communication staff officer of the armored regiment captain who was naturalized as a Chinese Tian Zhisuke reminded cautiously, this guy was thinking, don't the head of the regiment think that the captain of Masaki Masaki's tone is too loud and unhappy, so he doesn't want to go?How can I reply to the other party?However, Captain Dongfang was not stupid, and he gave his regiment leader such a suggestion to invite the other party over in a blink of an eye. The reason was naturally that he was busy with military affairs and couldn't leave.

Among the three armored battalions of Lu Huanyan's armored regiment, the 2nd Armored Battalion, under the command of the chief of staff of the regiment Ren Dao, accompanied the 5th Infantry Regiment of the 6th Brigade of the Japanese Infantry in the West Road Detachment, and the regiment leader Lu Huanyan personally Command the remaining two armored battalions to become the vanguard of the East Road Detachment, followed by the 2th Infantry Regiment of the 5th Japanese Infantry Brigade. The task is to go southeast and detour to the east of Kharkov.

除了2个装甲营、一个6门75mm野炮的炮兵连、一个道奇1.5吨军用卡车拖拽的高she炮连之外，吕焕炎的这一路还带着自己装甲团的1个工兵辎重连和一个团部1个通信勤务排和一个团属装甲侦察连，整个装甲团满编制只缺参谋长那个装甲第2营。

At this time, the artillery company positions of the armored regiment had been placed on both sides of the road 100 meters behind the line of defense, and six 6mm Type 75 field guns were lined up on the west side of the mainland. It is this road that is marked on the map as a forest path, but in fact it can be regarded as the position above the head of the forest road on the banks of the Kharkov River. The view is relatively open and there is a better boundary. Otherwise, if the position is chosen in the forest, it will also face the top of the head. The trees are towering, and the cannon may hit the canopy blocking the way halfway and explode.

The regiment's anti-aircraft artillery company has three anti-aircraft artillery platoons with 3 guns. Each anti-aircraft gun is a squad of nine people. The whole company has six 2mm anti-aircraft guns. At this time, the six 9mm anti-aircraft guns are It is placed under the roadbed on the east side of the artillery position, because of the wide view. Of course, the sky over Ukraine, especially the sky over Eastern Ukraine, is the place where the air force of the Allied Powers controls the sky with one hand, but Lu Huanyan still does not relax every day. An opportunity to practice the anti-aircraft artillery company.

When defending, the local air force must first attack its own artillery positions, so the anti-aircraft artillery must first protect its own heavy fire positions and core fortifications such as the headquarters, rather than infantry trenches.

When it's time to attack, the 6 latest Chinese-developed anti-aircraft guns of the anti-aircraft artillery company, the m191837aa, will be used as anti-tank guns and rapid-fire guns. Although there are, the most are military trucks. As for the Ukrainian troops in front of them, it is estimated that there are at most 3 sets of carriages, machine guns, and artillery positions to be eligible to be the targets of Lu Huanyan's 6 anti-aircraft guns.

Lu Huanyan listened carefully to the looming gunshots 3 kilometers away, and at the same time made a gesture to call Dongfang Tianzhisuke to silence. Earlier, Tao Dayong sent a correspondent back to deliver a letter, saying that he had confirmed that the enemy was the position of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division, and that there were at least 3 troops in the south. Next to another infantry division, perhaps the sound of an armored vehicle engine [-] kilometers away alarmed the enemy, or the disappearance of an enemy sentinel alerted the enemy. At this moment, the enemy has sent a cavalry battalion to search north, in order not to expose the regiment The gathering place of the main force.
