Beiyang 1917

() Lu Huanyan smiled and took a mug of hot soup from the orderly next to him and handed it to the commander of the 51st Federal Infantry Regiment who was a bit tired of eating. He smiled and asked him to sit down and listen to his next battle plan and arrange...

"Regimental commander... I have no doubt that the reconnaissance company will be strengthened for the first battalion, but Jianchuan and Okamoto, two infantry brigades that have fought against the Ukrainians, have been strengthened for Tao Dayong's East Detachment. Then, the Ukrainian Infantry 2nd Division in the southeast direction And the whereabouts of the 4th Division, who will follow up the reconnaissance... We are blinded now, and it will be dark soon. Where can we find Ukrainians more than ten kilometers away in the dark?" Ren Dao, chief of staff of the regiment, is obviously a little bit In a hurry. ..

"Chief of staff, who said that our eyes are dark? The two arcs I drew just now are the positions of the 2nd and 4th divisions of the Ukrainian infantry, but there are two large swamps in between. Federal infantry or Japanese infantry are not suitable for marching in the dark in the forest when the enemy's situation is unknown. I have considered Liu Yifei's 2nd Armored Battalion, strengthening an infantry battalion of Colonel Biflov, along the south side of the three-way intersection The main force of the Muto brigade is going to meet the main force of the Muto brigade...Of course, we are mainly inserted into their left flank to block the Ukrainians from outflanking the Muto brigade's flank from the forest!"

Lu Huanyan obviously intends to adopt the strategy of sitting on the tree and waiting for a rabbit, not seeking merit but seeking no fault. To be honest, this black light is blindly running into the dark forest and swamp like a headless chicken, but he is looking for a dead end. Lu Huanyan intends to rely on the southern road. The path in the forest has been widened and reinforced by the engineers and supplies of the Muto Brigade, moving the troops to the southeast... ..

"In this case... If the two Ukrainian infantry divisions hadn't outflanked the Muto Brigade's flank from the southeast, wouldn't we have let the other side go, and the mission of the entire second echelon would be in danger of being ruined...Regimental Commander, let us Be careful!" The chief of staff of the regiment, Ren Daoist, was obviously not sure whether the risk of doing so would be too great...Of course, this guy also thought that the second echelon came alone, so he took the initiative to serve as a shield for the Muto brigade to block the knife. what happened……

"The Ukrainians really want to run around in the swampy forest. How can I catch up with the 20-kilometer distance between the two sides? Anyway, I told Jiro Oba that I will be wiped out if I can be wiped out, and I will be defeated if I can't be wiped out. I didn't say that the second echelon's combat intention can be realized in one night. This meal needs to be eaten one bite at a time. Since I am the commander of the former enemy of the second echelon, of course I will bear the responsibility, so you can rest assured to do things!"

Lu Huanyan's tone was full of confidence and a hint of arrogance, and Ren Dao, the chief of staff of the regiment, shut up and stopped questioning, otherwise it would be too obvious to push back and argue.

"Your Excellency, Commander, is it necessary to send only one infantry battalion to follow up? The main force of the German army plus two divisions of Ukrainians, let alone two divisions of volunteers in the city, is it enough to send only one armored battalion and one infantry battalion to go south?" Too little?" Federal Colonel Biflov asked hesitantly.

However, Lu Huanyan smiled and waved his hands, "Don't worry, my commander, there are three infantry brigades in the south, the Yonezawa Cavalry Regiment and the main force of the Muto Brigade, as well as my Du Li Artillery Battalion... Wait for the turn." By the time your infantry battalion goes into battle, I think the outcome has already been decided... We are going to eat meat, not to gnaw bones. The main force of the Muto brigade is the target of the German counterattack. As for us, we are just waiting The other party came from both sides to eat the fat of the main force of the Muto Brigade. Have you ever heard of the Chinese idiom called "waiting for the rabbit?" ..."

"I've heard of waiting for a rabbit, but isn't the main force of the German reinforcements coming up with wolfdogs? Maybe the Muto Brigade is the rabbit in the eyes of the opponent?" Biflov's brain is not slow, and Voronieri sent him to participate In the battle of the second echelon, what is valued is the combination of prudence and bravery of this guy...

Of course, another unknown reason is that the commander of the 51st Infantry Regiment, Maxim Makoyevich Biavlov, is the mayor of the 13th Federal Infantry Division, Liukin Alexievi. The direct cousin of Major General Qi Voronieri... The Bivlov family and the Voronieri family are both descendants of rich and big landowner families near Voronieri in Tsarist Russia...the two are also generals who got mixed up in the Tsarist Russian army , joined the Soviet Russian Red Army and was appointed as a red military general, but the elders in their hometown were persecuted and looted by the Cheka and Bolshevik grain requisition teams...

When they returned to their hometown as the commander and regiment commander of the 13th Division of the Bundeswehr Voronjeri, the two families had few immediate relatives left. Most of the patriarchs ran to the east of the Ural Mountains. His relatives were suppressed by the Soviet Red Army in order to replace the hoarded food for the poor peasants and working class...

Whether it is the former Tsarist Russian generals who have sworn allegiance to the Volga Federation or the former Soviet Russian generals, returning home as the Federal Wehrmacht is nothing more than returning the manor land confiscated by the Soviets to the old owners. Restricted by the three major disciplines and the nine points of attention, what's more, all the folks who stay are the folks who are unwilling to leave their hometowns with the Soviet Soviets and the Bolsheviks... They are the objects that the new federal regime can rely on and win. In the era of chaos, food provided by subcontractors and strict discipline are what the people want...

"Haha, Colonel Biflov, the one who wins the fight is the hunter, and the one who loses is the rabbit... I believe that no one in the coalition army is willing to be that rabbit... I think, let the Ukrainians be the ones who are surprised The rabbit is ready..." Lu Huanyan laughed loudly and patted Biflov on the shoulder to comfort the Federation leader in his early 30s.

"Regimental Commander, if the main two battalions of the armored regiment move along the main road, is it true that the 51st Federal Infantry Regiment and the main infantry and artillery are stationed at the headquarters at the three-way intersection?" Ren Dao, the chief of staff of the regiment, hesitated. asked.

"Of course we can't stand still. We have to open up a real base camp and base in the forest. Moreover, the key is the layout of the artillery positions... You have also heard that the main force of the German reinforcements has three 3mm light howitzer battalions. This firepower should not be underestimated, we can't expect the 105mm Type 75 field gun to be able to beat the opponent's 105mm light howitzer..." Lu Huanyan replied with a slight frown.
