Beiyang 1917

() If it wasn't for Colonel Tanaka's 3rd Field Artillery Regiment setting up a false position to lure snakes out of the hole, and the enemy artillery battalion in Kharkov would not be able to take the risk of firing first, and if the opponent did not open fire to expose the position, Colonel Hashimoto's Du Li Field Heavy Artillery The wing will not be able to destroy the enemy's two 75mm field artillery battalions in one go, and the victory tonight will not be so hearty. In my opinion, all the generals have made contributions! "

Major General Nobuyoshi Muto, the commander of the 23rd Infantry Brigade, who had been watching coldly, finally opened his mouth with his arms folded. If he doesn't make a sound, he can do everything. He and Tanaka, the two artillery captains, both had steps to step down, and Muto's words were impeccable. Tanaka and Hashimoto couldn't help nodding and smiling when they heard the words. Lu Huanyan and Ren Dao also thought it was Muto You know how to advance and retreat.

As the beginning of the meeting, Kikuchi Shinnosuke, who complained about the disadvantages of the artillery to suppress the opponent's artillery fire, was still talking, but was stared at by the head of the division, and swallowed his words again. Here, Lu Huanyan also came out to make things right.

"My" Chief of Staff Colonel Ren told me that Major General Kikuchi's troops withstood the major test of the German night attack tonight, especially the Taguchi Squadron, which was guarding the outpost and was in charge of security, displayed the demeanor of the Allied infantry and also played With the strength of the Japanese army, the attack of two German infantry battalions failed to take down the position guarded by a squadron of Taguchi. The opponent's casualties were greater than ours. In any case, we still won this battle. I think Let’s sum it up well, it is right to fight tomorrow’s battle well under the command of the head of the Great Court Division!”

Although Lu Huanyan is just a colonel of the Chinese Army and the head of the DU Li Armored Regiment, now that he speaks in front of a group of Japanese army joint captains and brigade heads, Lu Huanyan's words still carry a lot of weight. This is considered to have given up the plan to continue to pursue accountability, and put the focus of the meeting on the next step of the battle. <Replenishment of personnel and ammunition, your 6th Infantry Regiment suffered nearly a thousand casualties tonight, and the artillery of the entire 5th Infantry Brigade no longer exists. Under such circumstances, can the 5th Infantry Brigade continue to fight? ! "

.. "" After the commander-in-chief of the Allied Central Route Army and the head of the Japanese 3rd Division indicated that everyone should take their seats on the improvised pony in the formation, he was the first to throw the question to Kikuchi Shinnosuke, for Oba Jiro, the strength of the Chinese armored forces is undoubted, but the combat effectiveness of the Federal Infantry Division is a bit disrespectful to the division commander. However, the Chinese armored forces only have the strength of one regiment after all, so the Chinese armored forces Your Excellency is more concerned about whether the Juchi Brigade can still take on the important task of the main force.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, please rest assured that as long as the 18th Infantry Regiment of Masaki Masaki returns tomorrow, our 5th Infantry Brigade will continue to fight and will not back down. Of course, in view of the fact that the 6th Infantry Regiment and the The Artillery Brigade of the 18th Regiment has already been broken, and for better offensive, I urge the division to consider assigning Colonel Tanaka’s 3rd Field Artillery Regiment to the 5th Infantry Brigade!”

Kikuchi Shinnosuke was obviously unceremonious, and he hit his idea on the 3rd Field Artillery Regiment of the division with just one mouth. The 3rd Artillery Regiment governs a mountain artillery brigade with 1 12mm 75-type mountain cannons, and 3 field artillery brigades with a total of 36 75mm "Beiyang 1917 Chapter 730 Chapter 3 (4)" 2-type field artillery , in the field artillery regiment at the divisional level of the ri army, each artillery battalion has three artillery squadrons with 4 doors, unlike the Du Li artillery battalion to which the infantry regiment belongs, which only has two artillery squadrons with 8 doors There are only [-] guns in the artillery squadron.

"This is absolutely impossible! Major General Kikuchi, the Tanaka Regiment is a field artillery regiment belonging to the division. Since the division commander is here to command the battle in person, my regiment is of course under the command of the division headquarters and obeys the orders of the division commander. Order, how can you be assigned to your 5th Infantry Brigade with just a word? It is completely superfluous, do you want to replace the division commander to command tomorrow's battle?"

Before Juchi finished speaking, King Tanaka shook his hand and refused. Just kidding, my artillery regiment came here to make meritorious service for the division, not to make wedding dresses for your Juchi brigade. In fact, the coalition command has already The number of artillery infantry under the Japanese division is too small and the firepower is insufficient. Utsunomiya Taro, Hata Shunroku, and Oba Jiro have also discussed many times, considering the establishment of a field artillery brigade under the division to increase the artillery power of the division. Tanaka Holding back his energy and wanting to be the first artillery brigade commander in the future of the 3rd Division, how can he condescend to be commanded by the infantry major general Kikuchi to make wedding dresses for others?

"Beiyang 1917" "Master Tanaka, please pay attention to propriety, enough is enough, who said that you want to replace the commander of the division commander to command the battle? I am worried that some people's troops will lose the chain at a critical moment. The imperial infantry are fighting bloody battles, while some artillery How long will the army of the Great Japanese Empire work together to fight a good battle? Now my 5th Infantry Brigade's artillery is completely lost. If there is no artillery support, the infantry How much do we have to pay to win?!"

Shinnosuke Kikuchi almost turned his nose from Tanaka's hat king's teasing and provocation, and he yelled at the captain of the Field Artillery Wing while holding the command knife at his waist tightly.

"Major General Kikuchi, now that the main force of the Central Army of the Allied Forces has assembled under the city of Kharkov, the artillery units must of course be concentrated and used in a unified manner. Your 5th Infantry Brigade is not fighting alone. I believe in the unified command of the division commander. and dispatch will ensure that the infantry can receive artillery support as soon as possible!" The person who spoke was Colonel Hashimoto Akira of the 3rd Regiment of the Du Li Field Heavy Artillery, and this guy was not trying to speak for Tanaka, but a practical reminder For all the generals present here, the head of the Great Court Division is here, so don't worry about "entertainment shows", just listen to the lieutenant general's orders honestly and that's it.

"However, having said that, Your Excellency, Division Commander, if the 5th Infantry Brigade does not have the recovery and replenishment of the artillery brigade, I am afraid that it will not be able to undertake the next du li combat mission. Please forgive me for this!"

Shinnosuke Kikuchi simply set up a challenge by retreating. The division headquarters announced before the evening that they would add a reserve infantry brigade and a reserve artillery squadron to the 18th Infantry Regiment of Masaki Masaki. 4 75mm guns, after seeing the artillery firepower of the Allied Chinese Army and even the Volga Federal Infantry Division, now Kikuchi Shinnosuke can't look down on an artillery squadron with 4 guns.
