Beiyang 1917

() Of course, the behind-the-scenes director of this Ukrainian tragedy of cannibalism is the commander of the Allied Forces on the offensive side, Colonel Lu Huanyan, the head of the Chinese Armored Regiment. The matter is not over yet. Lu Huanyan's regiment belongs to the artillery company position Arranged under the roadbed on the west side of the forest road, and on the west side of the roadbed, the car access road for transferring positions was repaired. When the number of cannons is far less than that of the opponent, the artillery of the armored regiment must be mentally prepared to hit and run Of course, it is still unknown whether a company led by Xue Juru plus a Japanese infantry squadron's mobile detachment can occupy and capture the opponent's artillery position. ,

Lu Huanyan will not let the opponent's artillery positions bombard him wildly just because he wants to capture the opponent's cannon. A brigade of 40 DH4 fighter-bombers of the coalition air force has already set off from the forward field airport of Belgorod , 15 minutes later, it will reach the sky over the Kharkov River. As for whether it can accurately bomb and hit the target, it is still unknown. Lu Huanyan is mentally prepared to attack the Ukrainians only through ground firepower!

Due to terrain constraints, after 200 meters away from the main road, they began to enter increasingly dense bushes and wetlands, which made it impossible for the armored regiment's wheeled armored vehicles to rush into the Ukrainian defense line hidden 800 meters away on the east side of the main road. However, if we only rely on the strength of the vehicle-mounted infantry who got out of the vehicle to fight, it is obvious that the enemy will be in a difficult battle. Lu Huanyan scattered the main force of the regiment to the west of the road, and while launching the artillery position, he only sent the armored platoon The 1rd Company of the 3st Battalion launched an attack, and Tao Dayong, the commander of the 100st Armored Battalion who returned to the team with the prisoners riding more than 1 captured Don horses, personally commanded it!

Through the interrogation of the prisoners, the layout of the Ukrainian 1st Infantry Division is basically clear. The opponent's 1st Infantry Regiment is responsible for defending the right-wing position in the northwest direction. The width of the position is about 1.5 kilometers, and the position of each battalion is about 500 meters. width, while the 2nd Ukrainian Infantry Regiment is on the 2-kilometer defense line in the middle, the 3rd Infantry Regiment borders the 2nd Infantry Division in the southeast, and the frontal width of Milevsky’s 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division reaches The distance is as much as 5 kilometers, and the depth is 2500 to 3000 meters. The division headquarters is in the core area in front of the artillery regiment's position.

Since the terrain is not suitable for the penetration and deployment of armored units, this makes it a bit difficult for Lu Huanyan to play in front of him. According to his original intention, if he does not care about the life and death of the 18th Infantry Regiment of Chief Qi Zhenggang behind him, Lu Huanyan will take it with him. The regiment's first choice is to break through to the south along the forest road and the west side. On the one hand, it can disrupt the enemy's deployment. The confluence of the 13th Federal Infantry Division separated the connection between the 1st and 2nd Ukrainian Infantry Divisions and the Kharkov defenders!

Of course, Lu Huanyan could understand that the reason why Belgorod's former enemy headquarters did not order him to continue advancing, but asked to wait for the 18th Infantry Regiment to meet up and wait for the coalition air force to support him. Even at this moment, Lu Huanyan could guess that when After discovering that the main forces of the two Ukrainian infantry divisions had shifted and assembled in the forest on the banks of the Kharkov River, the 2rd Japanese Infantry Brigade was likely already on their way to support them.

Only with the 18th Infantry Regiment of Masaki Masaki and his 2 battalions of armored troops of 6000 troops, to defeat the main force of the 2 Ukrainian National Army equipped with 25000 artillery regiments, Utsunomiya Taro and Hata Toshirokuto On the other hand, if the two main divisions of the Ukrainian National Army are a piece of fat, how can the 23rd Infantry Brigade led by Major General Muto Nobuyoshi give up the opportunity to participate in this feast?

Considering that Masaki Masaki's 18th Infantry Regiment would not be able to support the siege of the two main Ukrainian divisions alone, Lu Huanyan gave up the long drive and went straight to ignore the enemy's main force, but planned to directly use the tactic of knocking walnuts First of all, we must first dampen the enemy's morale, and then look for opportunities to defeat the enemy. Of course, if Xue Juru's mobile troops can sneak into the vicinity of the opponent's artillery positions and launch a successful attack, he will lead the main force of the regiment to attack across the board. The strength of less than 2 battalions defeats the main force of at least one regiment of the opponent. If they can defeat the two regiments of the Ukrainians, I believe that the opponent will withdraw if they can't hold on. It's best that his position was messed up for him!

In fact, while Lu Huanyan ordered Tao Dayong to lead the 1rd Company of the 3st Armored Battalion to launch a tentative attack, while the artillery positions under the roadbed on the west side of the road were completed, the 3 companies of the 4rd Armored Battalion had quietly moved along the west side of the road. Expanding to the south, Tao Dayong's attack from the 1st Armored Battalion and 3rd Company also created conditions for the rapid maneuvering of our troops in fierce battles.As soon as the gunshots rang out, the Ukrainians didn't care about how many armored vehicles and allied forces of the Allied Powers were coming on the forest road 800 to one kilometer away. Most of their eyes were attracted by the fierce offensive launched by Tao Dayong's company.

The dense forest shrubs and big trees that were originally used to hide their assembly positions but have not been cleared have now become important participants in the hide-and-seek jungle battle between the two sides. Lu Huanyan's armored regiment has completed the deployment along the west side of the forest road. They are all rushing to repair temporary trenches and bunkers under the roadbed. Although the generals of the Chinese army who participated in the war were instilled with the concept of offensive and active attack, all the soldiers first learned the instinct from digging earth on both sides of the Yongding River to repair the embankment and carry out water conservancy projects. That is, once the troops stop and prepare to fight, all the troops must dig their own bunkers and repair the fortifications as soon as possible.

The so-called rainy day repairs have penetrated into the bones of every participating army and become an instinct. Of course, at this moment, except for the battalion and company commanders, most soldiers only know that the enemy in front of them is a main division of the Ukrainian National Army. Our regiment will eat up the opponent's division together with the 18th Japanese Infantry Regiment who caught up behind!As for the news that there is a second Ukrainian infantry division in the south, it was blocked intentionally or unintentionally by Lu Huanyan.

"Commander, Commander! The Ukrainian cannons sent one of their own battalions to the west! This fight is really enjoyable! Commander, how did you guess that the other party would fire at your position!" Lying beside Lu Huanyan Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Xuewu attached to the regiment saw the scene of Ukrainians killing each other through the binoculars, and couldn't help jumping up happily with other staff officers around him.
