Beiyang 1917

() But once the artillery position 6 kilometers behind the opponent's position opens fire again, the German mortar positions and gunners who cannot escape may become lambs to be slaughtered... However, the order to counterattack is given by the commander of the 47th Division of the German Army Reserve Major General Von Neuhaus personally issued...

The German major general does not intend to allow the armored troops and Japanese infantry that the coalition forces tentatively attacked to retreat back to their starting positions unharmed. Although it will take at least 30 minutes for the artillery battalion that came up to get off the vehicles and start their positions, the German major general has decided to use mortars. The artillery fire knocked out the opponent's armored vehicles, and as for the Japanese infantry in that squadron, it was purely a matter of beating rabbits and repairing them by the way. ..

Even if the long-range artillery fire of the coalition forces will pose a huge threat to the German mortar positions in the trenches, Major General von Neuhaus thinks it is worthwhile. He wants to buy time for the reinforcements to deploy artillery units... It is a good thing for the defensive side if the long-range artillery fire of the coalition forces keeps plowing back and forth on the German positions and refuses to stop. At least it means that the artillery of the coalition forces has not moved. At least it means that the artillery has not moved. The coalition armored forces in the middle will not turn around and run away so quickly...

The cessation of the long-range artillery fire of the coalition forces made the German commander guarding one side suspicious. In the command position on the roof of the Kharkov Southern Suburb Railway Station, Colonel Dennis von Dicomyer, the commander of the 139th German Infantry Regiment There was even a dispute with the chief of staff, Lieutenant Colonel Kevin von Dixor. The head of the regiment thought that the coalition forces would run away, while the chief of staff thought that the coalition forces would speed up their offensive, and they might plan to rush to the bridgehead in one go... …

In the end, the division commander von Neuhaus made the final decision: "The coalition forces want to sing a big show of entering the mountain city three times. What can we do if we don't cooperate? Order the 1st and 2nd infantry battalions to enter the position and open fire on all fronts... Regardless of whether the coalition forces intend to Whether we want to withdraw or really attack, we must give each other a head-on blow!"

Von Neuhaus's wishful thinking is to drag the coalition forces. The German army guarding the Lopan River Bridge position is 2 infantry battalions, which are much more powerful than the opponent's 3 companies in terms of mortar firepower and light and heavy machine guns. , In fact, the German major general hopes that his infantry battalion can use 7.6cm light infantry mortars to kill and threaten the Allied armored vehicles... so that the German frontline troops can have enough confidence to deal with the Allied armored forces. Without anti-tank firepower and long-range In the case of heavy artillery fire support... Otherwise, the reliance on artillery in this battle will be too great...

1918年7月31ri17：30哈尔科夫南郊洛潘河大桥东侧战场

洛潘河大桥阵地上德军两个步兵营的火力全开，乘着联军后方远程105mm榴弹炮歇菜的功夫，12挺mg08重机枪和48挺博格曼m1915轻机枪在桥头堡阵地上迸发出一道炙热的弹雨和火网，于此同时，德军两个步兵营所辖的48门7.6cm迫击炮也撒着欢把成串的炮弹砸向了500米外的联军装甲部队和ri本步兵中队。

What the German army faced was the counterattack and suppression of the M2 Browning large-caliber heavy machine guns on the rotating turrets of 20 wheeled armored combat vehicles from 2 armored companies of the coalition army. At the same time, the Japanese infantry squadron lying in the anti-tank trench 500 meters away It was useless to try to fight back with the Browning light machine gun in his hand. Of course, the 217th Infantry Squadron of Captain Sasaki was equipped with a total of 6 Chinese-made Browning squad machine guns, which made his squad Using machine gun fire could not pose a threat to the German army in the opposite fortress...

However, the m20 large-caliber heavy machine guns on the 2 wheeled armored combat vehicles of the coalition forces suppressed and killed the German bridgehead positions at a distance of 1000 meters to 500 meters. How high is the shooting accuracy of the car, but the power of the 12.7mm large-caliber machine gun is much higher than the German 7.92 caliber mg08..., and the German machine gun positions are fixed, and the wheeled armored vehicles of the coalition forces When reversing, the s-shaped route is relatively flexible...

德军mg08水冷式重机枪喷she的7.92mm机枪弹雨虽然把联军的中华fd17ii型轮式装甲战车的装甲打的火星四溅噼里啪啦响城一片，但无论在500米上的装甲第3连还是右翼在500米到1000米之间的装甲第4连的20辆战车几乎都不受任何威胁，更不要说对方博格曼m1915轻机枪的火力，用来挠痒痒都算是轻的……

The machine gunners in the German machine gun bunkers suffered increasing casualties under the rain of bullets from the coalition armored tank m2 large-caliber heavy machine gun. A bloody storm was set off in the middle of the war. The threat to the Allied armored combat vehicles was the German army's 48 7.6cm light infantry mortars. The German army concentrated almost 6 mortars to attack an Allied armored combat vehicle... 4.5 kg The heavy mortar shells surrounded the coalition armored combat vehicles like hailstones and bombarded them wildly...

To say that according to the thickness of the frontal armor of the Chinese FD17II wheeled armored combat vehicle of the Allied Forces, the 7.5mm field gun cannot destroy the tank unless it directly hits the roof, but this Chinese tank of the Allied Forces is only a wheeled armored tank after all. , the flank armor and rear armor are only 9 mm thick, which makes the intensive German mortar bombardment still pose a threat to the coalition tanks...

The 3 tanks of Dong Yingbin's 10rd Armored Company retreated from 500 meters to 1000 meters. Two tanks were damaged and broke down. This positional battle in which the long-range artillery of both sides did not participate did not bring much joy to the German army. Although the 217th Infantry Squadron from Sasaki to the first lieutenant lost almost one-third of its troops during the retreat, it was only in the Allied armored battle. Under the cover of the car, he ran out of the shooting range of the German mortars...

However, the artillery shells fired from the m2000 mortar positions 81 meters away and the m1100 mortar positions 60 meters away from the coalition forces almost knocked out one-third of the German mortars... and the one-sided German army can only be beaten It's not enough, this is the result of the German mortar team in the trench constantly changing positions. Otherwise, as long as the German mortars don't evacuate their positions, they can only become coalition mortars outside their own range The target of hunting...
