Beiyang 1917

() Returning to the team is equivalent to losing the coordinated operations of the Chinese armored forces. Chief Qi Zhenggang, who has already tasted the sweetness, obviously regards Lu Huanyan and his armored forces as the backbone, and returning to the head of the Juchi brigade to be a second-rate is not welcome The master, Masaki Masaki himself was not very willing.

And although Yoshinari Takagi is talking so much against Ogawa and Kikuchi, in fact, he still hopes that the 5th Infantry Brigade will choose to return the Infantry Regiment of Masaki Masaki and abandon the Chinese Armored Battalion. In this case, the 5th Infantry Brigade The brigade's combat effectiveness will inevitably be weakened, so the next stage will be to see the 23rd Infantry Brigade, which has been strengthened with Chinese armored forces and artillery, show its talents.

Second, as long as the strength of the headquarters of the Lu Huanyan Armored Regiment is restored and the left-wing position is guaranteed, then the 23rd Armored Battalion and Du Li Artillery Battalion, which are reinforced to the 3rd Infantry Brigade, will have no worries and will not be recalled to the headquarters of the armored regiment every minute .

As far as Lu Huanyan is concerned, this guy is obviously not only maintaining a balance between the two Japanese infantry brigades in the Central Army, but also giving Muto Xinyi a favor. It is better to use it for field battles and maneuvers to play a more "" role. The victory of Kharkov's battle was outside the city rather than inside the city. The key lies in the main force of the German-Ukrainian coalition army rather than the volunteer infantry division inside the city!

1918年7月30ri22：30萨马拉协约国联军司令部

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, I just received a telegram from the former enemy headquarters of the Central Route Army. An hour and a half ago, the German-Ukrainian coalition forces defending Kharkov dispatched the German army to strengthen the infantry counterattack and attack the position of the 5th Japanese Infantry Brigade at night. The German-Ukrainian coalition forces in the city were reinforced by artillery. During the night attack, the opponent successively used artillery from three 3mm Krupp field artillery battalions and one 75mm light field howitzer battalion for fire support.

The entire battle lasted for 45 minutes and ended with the German army voluntarily withdrawing to the city. The Isokawa Artillery Battalion of the 5th Brigade and 6th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Infantry, which was heavily attacked by the enemy, was completely wiped out and lost 8 75mm field guns. Chuan Shaozuo was hit on the head by shrapnel and died. In addition, the field artillery unit of Wang Dazuo's division in the middle road lost a squadron of four 4mm field artillery. The 75th Infantry Regiment suffered more than 6 casualties, and the 800th Federal Infantry Division of Major General Voronieri in the center suffered more than 13 casualties.. "". "

Qian Tianfu, the Chief Staff Officer of the War Room of the Allied Forces Headquarters, rushed in and reported the latest battle report of the Central Route Army in the Ukrainian Campaign that he had just received. Commander-in-Chief Wang Geng put down a long telegram from China, He got up and left his large desk, strolled to the sofa, took out a cigar and lit it, while beckoning Qian Tianfu to continue talking.

"The focus of the enemy's counterattack is the Japanese Kikuchi Brigade on the right wing of the Central Route Army near the tributary of the North Donets River. The designation of the German army is the 139th Reserve Infantry Regiment, which belongs to the 47th Reserve Infantry Division of Major General Sven von Neuhaus. , according to the battle report, although the German army is only a reserve infantry regiment with 4 battalions and less than 3000 troops, its combat actions are quick and decisive, and the firepower of the squadron is quite fierce. , I am afraid that the main position of the 5th Infantry Brigade will be breached!"

Qian Tianfu smacked his lips and reported that in the eyes of this young Chinese colonel who succeeded Junroku Hata as the Chief Staff Officer of the War Room of the Allied Forces Command on the Eastern Front, it was rare to see the enemy's combat effectiveness so highly praised in the battle reports of the Japanese Army, perhaps This has something to do with Hata Junliu who served as the chief of staff of the Southern Army of the Allied Forces "Beiyang 1917 Chapter 730 Eight ([-]) Kung Fu Outside the City". The major general obviously knew that the commander-in-chief has sharp eyes and can't rub the sand. If there is anything to say, seek truth from facts and not lie to others. This is Wang Geng's basic requirement for the generals of the coalition army.

"That's not bad. Compared with the Mauser 98 in the hands of the Germans, the 6 guns in the hands of the Japanese troops are still a lot worse. They were counterattacked at night, and there was only one front line of the 2th Infantry Regiment beside Kikuchi. Didn’t Ren Dao’s [-]nd Armored Battalion go into battle? The Japanese infantry brigade and regiment-level artillery are indeed a little weaker. We need to find time to find a solution to this problem. How many German casualties are there?”

Although Wang Geng was a little surprised that the German army dared to go out of the city to fight back on the first night, the Germans only dispatched one infantry regiment. Obviously, the opponent was not forced to jump the wall and put all their eggs in one basket. Most of them were tentative attacks. It is to find out the combat effectiveness of the front-line troops of the coalition forces and the strength of the defense line.

"Only the forward troops of the 13th Federal Infantry Division, the 5th Infantry Wing of the 1917th "Beiyang 6" Brigade of the Japanese Infantry, and the 3rd Japanese Division of the Japanese 300rd Division under the command of Hashimoto Koji are the only ones fighting tonight. The artillery regiment and the German infantry who went out of the city to fight back left close to 6 corpses, but the enemy took away their own lightly and severely wounded when they retreated. The report of the 4th Infantry Regiment believed that the enemy's lightly and severely wounded were at least 500 people. Today is June 23, the last quarter moon will not appear until early in the morning, it is too dark to see clearly, and there is no time to clean the battlefield at this moment!"

Qian Tianfu answered with a slight frown. At this moment, he also realized that although the infantry casualties of the two sides were similar in this battle, the Germans came and went like the wind and did not fall into a passive position. Obviously, from a tactical point of view, I really dare not say The Germans lost.

"Hashimoto Koji's Du Li Field Heavy Artillery 3rd Wing opened fire? Then why didn't the German heavy artillery counterattack? Didn't the evening battle report say that the two artillery battalions of the 13th Federal Infantry Division in Voronieri were killed by the German 150mm heavy artillery Are the field howitzers almost completely wiped out? Is there any data on the losses of the artillery on both sides? Only the 6th Infantry Regiment of the Kikuchi Brigade lost an artillery brigade?"

Wang Geng gently blew out a smoke ring and asked, recently, the commander-in-chief of the "Entertainment Show" of the Allied Forces on the Eastern Front and the commander-in-chief of the Volga Federation Armed Forces has piled up piles of documents to sign and review every day, so he never has enough time However, I have to be busy in the office every night until midnight before I can rest, so most of the time I have listened to the staff and secretaries reading telegrams and documents as a means of rest and adjustment.

"It's a matter of range. Ukrainian artillery is very cunning. Their first 75mm field artillery battalion is deployed in the southern city of Kharkov, and will be able to hit the rear of the outpost of the 6th Infantry Regiment of our right-wing Kikuchi Brigade. The position of 300 meters, in fact, the opponent's goal tonight is probably to test our reality, and take down the outpost by the way. Since our artillery is arranged behind the main position, a situation of fighting each other has formed. Not enough."
