Beiyang 1917

() Jianchuan Miji and Okamoto Renichiro looked at each other, and they both puffed up their chests and said, "There is no problem at all, the Jianchuan (Okamoto) brigade accepts the command of your Excellency who is the former enemy commander of the East Road Unit..."

Having said that, the two captains never thought that they would really take the rest of their troops into battle. The environment is unfamiliar, and the rest of their infantry brigade was already exhausted after a day of fierce fighting. From crossing the river on the pontoon bridge to the present, the Muto Brigade has measured it with strides, and the physical strength and hard work it has put in is completely incomparable with the armored troops of the Chinese Army in armored vehicles... ..

It is conservatively estimated that the two infantry brigades, Jianchuan and Okamoto, have traveled at least 50 kilometers during the day, and one-third of them are advancing through thorns and thorns in the forest without roads. The uniforms of the troops are torn by thorns and bushes. If it wasn't for Xue Juru's reconnaissance team to even out food and ammunition supplies, the remaining 1200 Japanese troops would be a beggar army with no ammunition and food.

"However...Major Tao...Our ammunition is exhausted. Although Company Commander Xue has distributed some machine gun bullets, mortar shells and G18 melon grenades, the soldiers have very few ammunition left for the three or eight guns...and the lightly wounded have not yet died. The evacuation, the fallen soldiers did not have time to spark... I am afraid that the haste to go into battle is still open to question..." Okamoto is a lieutenant in the military rank, and the captain of the Japanese infantry is equivalent to the commander of the reinforced battalion of the Chinese participating army, so this guy's voice is hoarse Then he raised his own difficulties...

"Well... Okamoto-kun, Jianchuan-kun, Captain Xue said in the telegram to the headquarters that you have 1200 main forces left in your two brigades? Ammunition is not a problem. The transport unit that followed our battalion carried a part of Japanese 6.5 caliber. I will give you 1 rounds of ammunition first, machine guns, mortar shells, and melon grenades. As for the lightly wounded, you can stay in the field ambulance here to wait for evacuation. The seriously wounded will be evacuated first. It's not a big problem to leave it for one night..." Mo Liyuan, attached to the [-]st Armored Battalion, continued from the side, this guy is not only Tao Dayong's military assistant, but also the logistics director of the whole battalion... . .

"Uh... that's great... But, our troops have been fighting for a whole day, and the soldiers are exhausted from the long journey. If we want to continue fighting, I hope to take your armored combat vehicles or Dodge trucks. I can't walk on my two legs no matter what..." Miji Jianchuan replied cautiously, his brigade had more than 800 people left, which was much stronger than Okamoto's brigade with less than 400 people left... Jianchuan was very worried I was used as cannon fodder by the Chinese...

Xue Juru looked on coldly, and the embarrassment of the two Japanese army captains who both showed embarrassment and did not dare to directly refuse was seen by the reconnaissance company commander, and he couldn't help but secretly smiled. Let's see what Tao Dayong and Mo Liyuan do Tossing Muto's brigade's elite brigade, normally, the Okamoto brigade with less than 400 people left should be withdrawn to rest and replenish. It is impossible to restore combat effectiveness in ten and a half months. As for the Jianchuan brigade, it can be used. But shouldn't people be put on the head of the bar?

Anyway, during the day, the two elite brigades under Muto resisted the siege of the Ukrainians by the main force of each division, and managed to escape without breaking up... Just because of this, they should win the respect of their allies. yes……

"Jianchuan Shaozuo, Captain Okamoto, the task given to our second echelon east detachment by the headquarters is to ask us to occupy the town of Katyba and control the North Donets River Bridge before midnight. The 3rd Ukrainian Infantry Division can eat and eat It’s okay not to go south and drive into the forest. The first task is to occupy the town of Katba and the bridge over the North Donets River. The second task is to eliminate the 3rd Ukrainian Infantry Division. This forest avenue in Katiba Town is the third mission..."

Tao Dayong walked up to the map, and Xue Juru's orderlies next to him raised their lanterns to illuminate the field map hanging up. The commander of the First Armored Battalion found the location, gestured and gestured, and handed over the task to everyone in front of him. In the end, Jianchuan and Okamoto were shocked when they heard the words. Xindao, who had an armored battalion and the rest of the two brigades, actually had to undertake such a difficult task. That Lu Huanyan was really hard-hearted and didn't care about the troops and soldiers being flesh and blood?

"Battlemaster Tao, this is a bit difficult for others... With our strength and your troops, it is not easy to destroy the Ukrainian Third Division. The opponent's strength is at least three times that of ours, and the terrain and roads are more familiar than ours. The black light is blind. If you rush around with your head depressed, you may suffer a lot!" Jian Chuan Meiji couldn't help crying.

Okamoto simply closed his eyes, wondering whether to get in touch with the Muto Brigade Headquarters by radio later, the elite of the Muto Brigade, the only remaining seeds of Okamoto and the Jianchuan Brigade cannot be given by the blind commander of China Lu ruined...

"Commander Xue, what do you think of the mission given to us by the headquarters? Is the reconnaissance company confident?" The former enemy commander of the East Road Detachment of the second echelon seemed to remember that there was a regiment reconnaissance company commander who was discussing with him at this time. When two high-achieving students from the 21st period of the Japanese Continent showed embarrassment and complained endlessly, it was only right for Xue Juru, the Chinese company commander, to stand up and set an example.

Xue Juru didn't speak when he heard the words. He went to the map and made a gesture. He held his chin and muttered, "It's about 10 kilometers from the base camp at Sanchalu where the Second Echelon Command is located. If the main road to the east continues to be inserted, it is estimated that the headquarters wants to encircle it. The road in the Kharkov Forest leads directly to the lake area in the middle reaches of the North Donets River... Pushing along the main road to the east in one breath... Directly occupy the bridge over the North Donets River, and completely cut off the connection to the east of Kharkov... In other words, we will have to advance about 20 kilometers east from our current position!"

When Xue Juru said this, the two captains of the Japanese Army panicked even more. Jianchuan frowned and said, "Is it really necessary to kill them all at once? The Ukrainian Third Division wouldn't run so far along the main road in one night. What's more, the opponent will enter the dense forest north or south at any time, and the risk is too great for us to go deep alone... It is very likely that we will collide with the opponent's brigade halfway, and it is still doubtful whether we can defeat the opponent's superior force?!"

Jianchuan Meici is short, only 147 centimeters tall. At this moment, she looks like a thin chicken in front of Tao Dayong, Mo Liyuan and Xue Juru, who are about 180 tall.
