Beiyang 1917

() Long before the telegram of the 3rd Ukrainian Infantry Division, Yamorlenko of the 4th Ukrainian Infantry Division had already sent the telegram of the good news to the former enemy headquarters in Kharkov. The 4th Infantry Division surrounded an infantry of the Japanese Army The good news of the brigade made both Simon Petliura and von Neuhaus happy. Andrei Andropovich Yarmolenko, who was the principal of the Kharkov National High School, led the infantry The performance of the 4th Division obviously exceeded the expectations of the commander-in-chief of the National Army.

This is also in the name of Simon Petliura's former enemy headquarters, ordering the 3rd Koval Infantry Division in the forest to move south along with Mihalik's 2nd Infantry Division in the middle, and concentrate the main force on Yamorlenko. The reason why the 4th Infantry Division is getting closer is that, in addition to preparing to cooperate with the 47th German Reserve Infantry Division going north for reinforcements to launch a counterattack on the southern line later that day, if it can help Yamorenko's 4th Division to get rid of Japan in the encirclement. It would be best if the infantry brigade was wiped out in one go! ..

If this is the case, Major General von Neuhaus is even going to launch a counterattack at the east gate at the same time, eating up the Japanese infantry brigade occupying the Kharkov Bridge, thus completely cutting off the Japanese Muto Brigade going south The regiment's logistics support line and retreat...

"My dear Sven, Koval said that two Japanese infantry brigades appeared in front of him... Is this possible?" the Ukrainian Prime Minister asked the German major general on the side.

"Of course it's impossible. The three brigades of the Muto Brigade's main force have already gone south, and it's almost time to reach the southeastern suburbs. The Japanese army remaining in the forest on the northern line is at most three brigades, and Yamorenko's 3th brigade If the division surrounds a Japanese infantry brigade, remove the Japanese army brigade occupying the Kharkov Bridge, and the Japanese army in front of Koval is at most an infantry brigade?" The German major general shook his head disdainfully and gave No answer. ..

"Then what do we do now? Koval's 3rd Division seems to...can't bear the Japanese detour troops that appeared on their flanks... Yamorenko's 4th Division wants to eat the Japanese infantry brigade in the encirclement. It will take time..." The Ukrainian prime minister hesitated for a while.

"It's very simple... Let Koval's 3rd Infantry Division withdraw from the battle and move closer to the south. Be sure to move closer to Yamorenko's 4th Division and Mihalik's 2nd Division. Do not detour troops on the northern front and Japan Entanglement... The opponent is at best an infantry brigade, and the long-distance trek is exhausted and there is no moth. The Ukrainian National Army in the forest is the first task to concentrate and move closer to the south. Yamorenko will not soon To launch a general offensive, it is enough to eat the infantry brigade of the Japanese army in the south!"

Major General von Neuhaus, the frontline commander of the German-Ukrainian coalition forces, is obviously a guy who can quickly judge and make choices. He is really not optimistic about the combat effectiveness of the Ukrainian National Army, especially those generals who are from the guerrillas. The guy who can’t chew on hard bones, that Koval is an ignorant master. Whenever there is a trouble in the face of the enemy, this fellow will scream and ask for support. It is far inferior to Yamorlenko of the 4th Division who was a middle school principal... …

"Reporting to the Major General, the 2nd Detachment of the First Detachment of the Iron Armored Train telegraphed that Captain Rommel commanded 4 companies of troops to surround only the strength of a Japanese cavalry squadron by the Krasnorad Bridge in the south, and the Japanese Yonezawa Cavalry Wing At least two cavalry brigades took advantage of the gap to break through the railway line at the crossroads and penetrated to the east of the railway. Lieutenant Colonel von Rundstedt said that although his armored train dealt a major blow to the enemy's rear cavalry, it intercepted The task of blocking the railway line has not been completed, and the lieutenant colonel is waiting for further instructions from the former enemy headquarters!"

A German captain and staff officer sent bad news that the 1st Detachment and 2nd Detachment of the Southern Line Armored Train failed to lure the enemy. Rommel commanded 4 infantry companies and only surrounded the opponent's cavalry squadron by the Krasnorad Bridge. The main force of the 4th Regiment took the opportunity to cross the railway again from the original breakthrough point to the south of the railway line. Obviously, the opponent's goal was to join the main force of the Muto Brigade heading south on the east road...

"Send a report to Lieutenant Colonel von Rundstedt's armored train unit, asking them to strengthen the inspection of the railway line and ensure the railway line between the Krasnorad Railway Bridge and the Lopan River Bridge in the southern part of Kharkov. The safety of ... Don't worry about the harassment of the coalition air force in the sky. If the opponent sends out heavy bombers, our armored train troops will not be able to stop them. The point is to withstand the ground troops that detour from Japan. Eat the opponent's cavalry squadron as soon as possible and return to the team!"

Although von Neuhaus was only the commander of the 47th Division of the German Reserve Infantry, he also served as the deputy chief of staff of the former enemy headquarters of the German-Ukrainian Allied Forces.At this critical moment when Admiral François was unable to take matters into his own hands due to a heart attack, he took on the heavy responsibility of the front-line commander on the Kharkov battlefield. He controls and commands.

Of course, the armored train detachment 1 of the German army is responsible for patrolling and protecting the nearly 200-kilometer railway line from Kharkov to Dnepropetrovsk, while the armored train detachment 2 is responsible for patrolling the railway line from Krasnorad hub to Kiev. The nearly 400-kilometer railway line...Speaking of which, such a long railway line with only four armored train detachment patrols and guards is quite stretched, but the coalition forces obviously do not intend to completely destroy the railway lines and bridges in Ukraine. As a result, the former enemy headquarters of the German-Ukrainian coalition actually used two armored detachments as mobile forces along the railway.

"Your Excellency General... When will the main force of your 47th Reserve Infantry Division go north for reinforcements? I think it's best to get reinforcements before Ri himself cuts off the railway. Otherwise, it will take a lot of time to rush to repair the railway once the railway is cut off." And Jing power..." The Ukrainian Prime Minister was a little distracted by the Japanese detour troops on the southern line. The combat effectiveness of the Muto brigade should not be underestimated. The attacks of the three infantry divisions in the forest failed to shake the opponent's position. As for the cavalry regiment that came around in a big circle in Japan, Simon Petliura didn't really pay attention to it...

"The combat effectiveness of the Japanese cavalry regiment should not be underestimated, but in order to bypass the fast-moving Lopan River, they actually rushed to Polo Dukshiv for a long distance, trying to confuse our sight and distract us. This plan is doomed to fail The focus of our army's defense and operations is along the Kharkov-Krasnorad-Dnepropetrovsk railway line and the Kilometer hub. Although the location of Porodukshiv is important, it is not so important that we have to rush to recover it. To a certain extent..." Major General von Neuhaus obviously paid no less attention to the Yonezawa Cavalry Regiment than Muto Brigade.
