Beiyang 1917

() "Reporting to the division commander, the 25th Infantry Brigade has set up a position on the left wing, and is rushing to repair the fortifications. The 26th Infantry Brigade has also set up a position on the right wing. The fortifications have been repaired halfway. It is expected that the position will be repaired within an hour!" A confidential staff officer put down the phone in his hand and reported that Voronieri's troops had just arrived on this line half an hour ago, and it was less than 5 kilometers away from the Ukrainian position in the north of the city. However, although the main force of the 13th Infantry Division arrived On the battlefield, the artillery regiment of the rear division and the logistics and supply units are still rushing here 7 kilometers away.

As for the engineer battalion belonging to the division, at this time, it is working hard with the engineering unit of the Japanese Third Division to repair the railway and highway lines. This is why Dodge of the 13th Federal Infantry Division drives the artillery regiment towed by car The reason for being behind the brigade is that the railway and the kilometers along the railway were destroyed by the blasting of the Ukrainian engineers when they retreated. The progress of the mechanized troops is quite difficult. A cannon and truck that have been filling the pit and pushing and pulling the anchor during the day up. . .

As the 13th Infantry Division, the main force of the Voronezhri Group Army of the Volga Federation, the current organization method is still the square organization of the 1st Division, 2 Brigades and 4 Infantry Regiments, but Wang Geng used the usual heavy machine gun battalion and artillery of the Soviet Red Army and White Guards. The organization of the company has been temporarily adjusted. In addition to the infantry of 2 brigades and 4 regiments, each federal infantry division is equipped with 2 M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles, while the Browning M1917bra squad uses machine guns. It has been strengthened to the platoon level. As for the company level, it is equipped with a 7.62mm caliber m1918a1 Browning heavy machine gun. In addition, each company is also equipped with two 2mm caliber platoon mortar squads.

In addition, each infantry regiment governs an 8-gun 81mm caliber battalion mortar platoon. As for the field artillery, the divisional artillery regiment of the Federal Infantry Division governs two 2mm 75-type field artillery battalions, and each battalion governs three 3 In addition, each federal infantry division also has an anti-tank company with m6aa anti-aircraft guns and six 191837mm caliber anti-tank guns. . .

The 13th Infantry Division of Voronjeri has a full establishment of 12600 people. In terms of firepower, there are 48 heavy machine guns, 150 squad light machine guns, 60 96mm mortars, 81 32mm mortars, and 75 32mm field guns. The firepower is much stronger than that of a division of the Soviet Red Army or the White Guards, and all the field guns are towed by Dodge one and a half ton military trucks, and the fj18 Hummer military off-road command and reconnaissance vehicles are also equipped to the battalion level, which can be called It is the main infantry division of the Bundeswehr.

The defense line built by the Ukrainians in the north of Kharkov City, with the railway station in the north of Kharkov City as the core position, forms a strong arch of a shield. The left and right wings extend about 9 kilometers each, reaching North Donets on the left. The right bank of the river and the left bank of the Kharkov River on the right.

At this time, the position of the 13th Infantry Division of Voronjeri was about 4.5 kilometers north of the core position of the railway station. The infantry was responsible for digging two-meter-wide trenches. Of course, since the rainy season had just passed, the land in the north of Kharkov was fertile and soft. From the excavation of individual bunkers to the shallow trenches for skirmishers that formed a line, It only took a little over 5 minutes.

Of course, there is still a long way to go to dig a bullet-proof trench that can avoid shelling. Due to the soft ground, the sides of the trench need to be reinforced with planks. A solid defensive trench is enough to lie down and hide from bullets. I don’t believe that the Ukrainians can fight back and kill so far!

As far as Liukin Alexievich Voronezh is concerned, the 13th Infantry Division he led was basically the old subordinates of the Voronezh Division of the Fifth Army of the Soviet Russian Red Army. Ronyeri's soldiers, after switching from the arms of Soviet Russia to the Volga Federation, although their weapons and equipment have not had time to change to the Federation's Chinese standard rifles for a while, their machine guns, mortars and cannons are all Chinese standard, and The treatment of the Volga Federal Defense Force is definitely not the same as when it was in the Soviet Red Army.

Transforming from a prisoner to a respected Bundeswehr, this made Voronieri and his soldiers of the 13th Infantry Division hold back their strength to show their talents in the Ukrainian campaign. Lai Lai also settled down and worked hard for himself in the Volga Federal Defense Forces. Lai Lai turned the page of the past as soon as possible.

Although the 13th Federal Infantry Division advanced from the middle road to the south along the railways and highways destroyed in the north, the speed was not slow. The children of the Voronezh Prefecture, who were hungry and fat during the Soviet Red Army period, are a little bit aggressive and fighting for themselves at the moment.

The former White Guard soldiers who belonged to the victor's side in the Battle of Ufa are now the owners of the fields and land. After the reorganization of the 13th Voronezh Infantry Division, about one-third of the troops came from Pei Pelyayev's former White Guard Infantry Division, so the medals on the chests of these boys and the family's honor field documents that they show off from time to time can be called the children of the former Soviet Red Army who have experienced a period of failure and imprisonment after the Battle of Ufa People look at you with jealousy, soldiers, war is the best opportunity to make achievements, we can't always be inferior to others?

"Master, the flank positions of the two brigades have already contacted the 2th Infantry Regiment led by Juchi Brigade and the armored forces of Colonel Lu of China. Let me tell you, there is no reason for us to launch an attack alone? The Ukrainians at least It is the defenders of 6 divisions, and our artillery regiment is still behind at least one hour before arriving. We do not have an advantage in terms of strength. Just asking our divisions to rush to attack, isn't the former enemy headquarters a little bit Underestimate the enemy or what? Want us to be cannon fodder?"

The division chief of staff, Besklovny, also frowned and echoed his division commander. Obviously, the troops had traveled 40 kilometers and dug trenches for more than half an hour. At this moment, their physical strength dropped sharply. The attack must start at least at dawn tomorrow, and the Chinese armored force or the Japanese infantry wing will be the main attack. How could the former enemy headquarters actually ask the 13th Federal Infantry Division to launch an attack in 45 minutes? Obviously, Besklovni Like Voronieri, they lack sufficient mental preparation.
