Beiyang 1917

() In this way, except for the necessary gunners of the three 3th artillery companies of the 3rd Artillery Battalion, all other idlers took up guns and formed 4 combat battalions, each battalion governed 2 infantry companies of 3 people, mg150 heavy Machine guns, Madsen light machine guns and 08cm mortars have also been redistributed, plus a cavalry company of more than 7.6 people from the cavalry reconnaissance battalion of the original division headquarters, the division commander of the 120st Ukrainian Infantry Division Artem Flodimilo Vevich Milevsky now has more than 1 troops who can be engaged in frontal combat.

But even so, this guy is still unwilling to divide his troops to search the position of the 2nd Battalion of the former Artillery in the northwest direction to regain the cannon. After Milevsky, the commander of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division, retreated across the Kharkov River, the whole person seemed to start Knowing that, he judged that if the enemy that penetrated to the right bank of the Kharkov River was a large force of the Allied Forces, then the troops attacking the 3rd Artillery Battalion would not be so embarrassed that they had only one platoon of troops, although he was ordered to do so in a fit of anger. The battalion commander of the 2nd Artillery Battalion who was shot before swore that the enemy attacking the 2nd Artillery Battalion came from all directions and at least one regiment! ,

But Milevsky was not so stupid as to think that the enemy around him had a regiment but only invested a platoon of troops to attack Karitintsev's 3rd Artillery Battalion. In the sequence of the Southwest Front Army, there is only one Chinese armored regiment. What's more, after the first trench defense line near the border was breached, at least one battalion of Chinese armored troops appeared on the western front.

And during the morning's offensive and defense in the forest area on the banks of the Kharkov River, the Chinese armored troops that appeared in front of the position of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division did not exceed the size of a battalion, so now they penetrated to the end of the right bank of the Kharkov River. How could it be a regiment, or even a battalion, for the center gun with the M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle!Maybe, only one reconnaissance company!Milevsky still remembers the fact that his division's scouting cavalry battalion was defeated by a scouting company from the other side early this morning.

Milevsky's plan at this moment is to take advantage of the gap between the return flight of the coalition air force and use powerful artillery to support the three infantry regiments of the 1st Infantry Division on the other side of the Kharkov River. A real battle, instead of being surrounded by m3 large-caliber heavy machine guns on the wheeled combat vehicles of the Chinese armored forces of the allied forces, the information reported by the chief of staff of the division Kravshenko from the phone is,

The Chinese armored forces have already headed south along the forest road, and it is clear whether they are going to chase Mihalik's Ukrainian 2nd Infantry Division or how. The 1th Regiment of the Japanese Infantry, and the 18 Dagai held by the Japanese infantry are not as powerful as the Mosin Nagant rifles in the hands of their own team, and they are far inferior to the previous Chinese armored forces. An M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle.

In particular, Kravshenko commanded 2 regiments and 4 battalions, repelled the first Japanese attack without artillery support, wiped out hundreds of enemies, but had only dozens of casualties. It has strengthened the confidence of division chief of staff Kravshenko to command the 1 main regiments of the 3st Infantry Division to defeat the 18th Japanese Infantry Regiment that was attacking in the face, and then decide to retreat and change direction, or let Ri himself chase after him all the way If you beat and bite all the way, you will definitely not be able to get rid of the enemy and retreat smoothly.

Whether it is Milevsky, the commander of the 1st Infantry Division, or Kravshenko, the chief of staff, the Chinese armored forces have almost reached the point where they have heard of the change, so for the 1st Infantry Division, the best retreat direction is Rebuild the pontoon bridge to cross the Kharkov River. It is believed that the main goal of the Allied Forces is Kharkov, the new capital of Ukraine. The 1st Infantry Division will successfully escape the enemy's pursuit and jump over the Kharkov River to the right bank. is the best choice.

The floating bridge is of course a problem, but Milevsky and Kravshenko both believe that it is better to pull up a few ropes across the river and let people swim across it than to continue to follow the second infantry on the left bank of the Kharkov River. The division retreated, knowing that the goal of the Allied forces must be to meet under the city of Kharkov. At this time, retreating to Kharkov is simply courting death. What's more, the Chinese armored troops have already chased south along the main road. Can the 2nd Infantry Division retreat as fast as the Allied Armored Forces with 2 wheels?

In the eyes of Milevsky and Kravshenko, the so-called withdrawal of the Ukrainian 2nd Infantry Division led by Mihalik to Kharkov to find His Excellency Simon Petliura to file a complaint is all nonsense. The 2nd Ukrainian Infantry Division, which was completely wiped out, was absolutely powerless against the coalition armored forces. Because the Kharkov River and the North Donets River were in the same trend as an open trumpet north of Kharkov City, they often The North Donets River and the Kharkov River coming from the south converge in the city of Kharkov.

That is to say, if Mihalik's 2nd Infantry Division does not go east across the Kharkov River to the right bank, then the forest along the river will become narrower and narrower to the south, and eventually it will inevitably be destroyed by Kharkov. The Koff River flowed to the city of Kharkov, and at that time the Chinese armored forces were likely to have outflanked along the main road in advance, and the 2nd Division, which was waiting for Raomihalik, would have no way out.

"Report to the division commander, the 3rd Artillery Battalion's position has been deployed, please indicate the target to attack!" Karitintsev, the commander of the 3rd Artillery Battalion, saw his division commander standing there with his chin in a daze, and couldn't help reporting loudly, At this moment, there was another rumble of artillery from across the Kharkov River in the west. It was obvious that the Japanese Artillery Brigade, which had defeated the 1st Battalion of the Ukrainian Artillery, had not lost its combat effectiveness. After shifting positions, they began to attack the positions of the 1st and 2nd Ukrainian Infantry Regiments on the opposite bank.

"Report to the division commander, call the chief of staff, and ask the division artillery to fire again to suppress the opponent's artillery brigade, otherwise he will not be able to hold the position! In addition, the 18th Japanese Infantry Regiment has a detour force of about 3 squadrons. The 1st Regiment's position has bypassed the forest, and it is now attacking the defense line of the 3rd Infantry Regiment, and now he is being attacked by the enemy from both sides, and the troops are almost unable to support them!" A division combat staff officer reported while clutching the microphone in his hand.

"Master, give me an order? Let's hit the opponent's artillery brigade first! This time we are the ones who strike late. My 3rd Artillery Battalion is not the scumbags of the 1st Battalion. 12 cannons hit the opponent's 8 cannons, and they even hit one." A disastrous defeat at 3:12!" Karitintsev, the commander of the 3rd Artillery Battalion, called for the battle confidently!
