Beiyang 1917

() The Nambu Type 26 revolver on Captain Sasaki’s waist requires huge wrist and finger strength to use. The coquettish design of the double-action type but without a hammer and handle makes this gun extremely slow and easy to fire. no...

Compared with the Colt 45 and .38 calibers that are authorized to produce in China, the Colt [-] and .[-] are designed with exquisite workmanship and perfect ergonomics. The difference in power, precision, and reliability is heavenly. an underground.

Of course, the Japanese army captain Sasaki went to the first squadron leader. At this time, what he had in his holster was no longer the 26-year-old revolver of the Japanese army, but the original Nagant revolver equipped by the Soviet Red Army captured in the Battle of Ufa , the 26-year-style revolver in southern Japan is actually a Nagant revolver imitated from Tsarist Russia. Of course, it is still a copycat version of Nagant that failed to imitate... .

"It's not that the Germans are calm, it's that if our shelling doesn't stop, the German troops on the opposite side are hiding in the bullet holes and the anti-cannons don't go to the position at all. What I wonder is that Wu Keren's 8 105mm light field guns The howitzers have plowed the bridgehead back and forth so many times, why did the German armored train artillery on the south side of the bridge not fire a single shot and refuse to fight back? There may be something wrong here!"

Although he is only a small Chinese captain and armored company commander, Dong Yingbin, the master who graduated from the fifth batch of Baoding Military Academy, still smells the Germans playing tricks just like his own battalion commander Li Shang and battalion Fu Zuoqi commanded on the high ground 5 meters behind him. What kind of conspiratorial smell...

1918年7月31ri17：30哈尔科夫南郊洛潘河大桥东侧战场. .

The Lopan River Bridge is the gateway to and from Kharkov in the south, and it is also the core defensive position of the German-Ukrainian coalition forces. The Lopan River rushing from the west first meets the Yudi River, a tributary of the North Donets River, in the southwest of the city, and then Going around the city from the south of the city, in the middle of the southern city of Kharkov, it meets the Kharkov River that goes around the city from the southeast. The river section to the west of the bridge is called the Lopan River, while the east of the bridge is called For the Uda River, the bridge on the 500-meter wide river section has become a battleground for military strategists, and the terrain is a "+" shape where three rivers meet.

Guarding the Lopan River Bridge is the 47th Infantry Regiment, the main force of the 139th Division of the German Army Reserve Infantry. The north bank of the Pan River and the Kharkov River is defended, and the wide river becomes a natural barrier. In fact, if the coalition forces want to take the bridge, they must launch an attack from the beach where the two rivers meet in the middle of """... If the attacking side It must be so if it appears from the southeast.

Of course, the Muto Brigade can also cross the Uda River downstream and attack from the south of the bridge... It's just that the Uda River after passing the Lopan River has three major rivers, the Yudi River, the Kharkov River and the Lopan River. Not only is the river wide but also abundant and turbulent, it is much more difficult than before for erecting a pontoon bridge... and it is also much more fragile, because the river section suitable for pontoon bridges within ten kilometers is guarded in the southern city of Kharkov. Within the range of the army artillery fire...

Although according to Muto Brigade's observations, the long-range artillery fire of the Kharkov defenders should have been exhausted during the two consecutive days of fierce fighting, so if it is risky, it could have bridged the Uda River and crossed the river to the south, but Yonezawa The bad news that the regiment was blocked by a German armored train on the southern railway line dispelled Nobuyoshi Muto's desperate plan to cross the river... The artillery on the iron armored train on the other side exceeded the number of cannons of the artillery attached to Muto's brigade...

Therefore, the offensive launched by the Muto brigade before evening was destined to become a contest between the two sides to test each other. The field howitzer exerted all its power to eat nai, and the 8mm grenade whizzing away within 105 minutes blasted the Lopan River Bridge into a miasma, but the bridge was actually guarded by only two German infantry battalions. A solid bullet-shelter room was built on the ground... Although the continuous bombardment of the Muto brigade destroyed some machine gun bunkers and fortifications on the surface, it did not pose a threat or casualties to the German army... Except for a few observation posts, the other side did not take Troops are put into the front line.

In addition to the 6mm light mortars of the Wu Keren Artillery Battalion 105 kilometers behind, the Muto Brigade went into the attack, and the ground troops were all the 3rd Battalion of the Chinese Armored Battalion plus the 55th Infantry Commanded by the Muto Brigade Guzhuang Ganlang The strength of a brigade of a brigade...

Of course, neither Li Shang nor Guzhuang Qianlang are stupid. Although the German bridgehead position is a hard nut to crack, and the Ukrainian volunteers on the right side of the Kharkov River also sneered from time to time. The biggest threat is the German armored train detachment on the railway line south of the Lopan River Bridge. Although Li Shang is full of confidence in the combat effectiveness of his armored battalion, he uses the Chinese FD17II wheeled armored combat vehicle in the absence of heavy artillery. The car is against the heavily armored train that the Germans armed to the teeth, no matter in terms of protection or firepower, the two sides are not at the same level...

Can't you expect the armor-piercing bullets of the m2 large-caliber heavy machine gun to directly penetrate the thick armored turret of the opponent? The high-explosive grenades of the m81 battalion's mortars also could not pose a substantial threat to the German armored trains. The only thing that could play a role was the m3aa anti-tank anti-aircraft artillery company that Lu Huanyan strengthened for the 191837rd Battalion of Li Shang...

However, the m191837aa anti-tank anti-aircraft gun, as a direct-fire gun, can only launch an attack on the armored train within sight, which means that even if the new 37mm anti-tank anti-aircraft gun of the anti-tank artillery company is used to deal with the German armored train, it will be unexpected. After approaching, use an ambush to catch the opponent by surprise.

This is also the reason why Li Shang ordered the 4th Company to release smoke along the north bank of the Wuda River. In this tentative attack, Li Shang was the real commander-in-chief of the front enemy. Of course, Li Shang did not intend to put all the troops of the armored battalion into the attack. The Lopan River Bridge position can at most have a regiment of troops, and the main force of the German army guarding the southern city of Kharkov is only the 55th infantry regiment of the German army... ...With such a calculation, the other party would place at most two infantry battalions at the bridgehead.
