Beiyang 1917

() Except that the heavy artillery on the main coalition positions on the northern outskirts of the northern city began to fire back at the northern city of Kharkov, the long-range artillery positions of the coalition forces in the forest have not yet fired back. , The regiment has less than 6 soldiers capable of fighting. The German heavy artillery bombardment just now caused at least dozens of casualties. Why didn't the Ukrainian artillery battalion in the forest fight back?

"Lu Sang, if we can't suppress the long-range German artillery fire in the city, our machine guns and mortars will suffer heavy losses and we will not be able to stop the German attack, let alone regain the bridge!" Major Maeda Toshiyuki shouted from the side to the microphone, complaining in his heart When is the time for the captain of his own alliance, he still can't hold back and directly asks for fire support! ..

Unexpectedly, Lu Huanyan's majestic voice came from the receiver, "Maeda Regiment Fu, tell you Regiment Captain that there is no need to blast the bridge, and the 6th Infantry Regiment will abandon the first-line position and block the Germans in the second position. Let go and let the other side cross the river...the more you come, the better! Pay attention to the artillery...without my order, whoever dares to abandon the second position will bear the consequences!" As he spoke, the phone was hung up!

"The headquarters asked us to give up the demolition of the bridge and the first line of positions, and let the Germans cross the river. Lu Sang said that the more enemies come, the better, but we are not allowed to abandon the second line of positions without authorization..." Maeda Toshiwei was dumbfounded Putting down the microphone in his hand, he turned around and said to his captain.

"Soga... pass on my order. The Nakamura brigade is preparing to enter the second position and fight against the German attack with all its strength. Anyone who dares to retreat without authorization will be shot to death! Major, you stay here to master the communication, and I will go to the second position in person!" Mizuno Yasushi Fu ripped off the collar of his shirt, grabbed his command knife and rushed out with a few staff officers! ..

About 400 meters outside the eastern city of Kharkov is the Kharkov River. The bridge is 150 meters long, but the approach bridge on the other side of the river is more than 500 meters long. Under the approach bridge is a river beach covered with pebbles. It is a steep river bank with a drop of up to 500 meters, overgrown with shrubs and weeds. Climbing up the river bank is the edge of the dense forest. The first line of defense of the coalition forces is at the edge of the forest, and 5 meters behind the first line of defense is the second line of defense. 500 meters behind is the third line of defense, and two kilometers behind the third line of defense is the crucial three-way intersection, which was also bombarded by 500 139mm light howitzers from the 12th Battalion of German Artillery in the southwest at this moment. key areas of...

Lu Huanyan ordered the abandonment of the first position, which actually took a lot of risk, because the first position was condescending, and it would be very difficult for the German army to attack the coalition position above the river bank from the river beach... But... because the Mizuno Regiment failed to The bridge over the Kharkov River was blasted in time, and the German army only invested an infantry battalion to launch a counterattack at the east gate. This gave Lu Huanyan, who was the main force, a new idea in his heart...he was going to lure the snake out of the hole!

Although Lieutenant Colonel von Blomburg was the head of the regiment, he insisted that the chief of staff of the regiment, Major Fedor von Bock, command the main force of the regiment to launch an attack on the main force of the Muto brigade in the south, while he personally led the 140th regiment to attack the main force of the Muto brigade. The elite 1st Battalion wanted to take back the Kharkiv Bridge outside the east gate by surprise, and go to the other side of the river to cut off the logistics and traffic arteries of the coalition forces. He believed that this was the key to the victory of the German-Ukrainian coalition counterattack. hit!Determined to win!Outflank the rear of the Muto Brigade!

不要小看德军对东门反击投入的力量，铁甲列车2分队的10门大炮和哈尔科夫新城区东南炮兵139团的12门大炮从两个方向发起的炮击使得德军暂时获得了东门外火力上的巨大优势……差不多每10秒钟就有近20发15公斤重的105mm榴弹在联军阵地上炸开，1秒钟2发炮弹落地爆炸这个火力密度可绝对不算差了，其中铁甲列车上还有两门大炮是150mm口径的重型榴弹炮！一颗炮弹重达45公斤，那玩意属于在开开阔地爆炸杀伤半径能到100米的巨无霸……

The 150-caliber heavy-duty grenade explodes with amazing power, within five to ten meters of the impact point, it can even directly shock people to death instead of killing people with shrapnel...

吕焕炎没有让自己手里的2个乌克兰75mm野炮营还击和压制哈尔科夫城内的德军炮火……说真的，指望75mm口径的三八式野炮能靠火力压制住对方的105mm口径的榴弹炮群需要数量上的优势，双方单颗炮弹的威力差了一半都不止，德军105mm轻型榴弹炮的炮弹重达15.7kg，而仿制于德国克虏伯75mm野炮的ri式三八式野炮的炮弹只有6.5公斤重……

吕焕炎手里的乌克兰炮兵营隶属于沃罗涅ri集团军中的步兵第14师炮兵团，伏尔加联邦步兵师的师属炮兵团每个辖2个75mm三八式野炮营，每营辖3个6门制的炮兵连，由于抽调了一个炮兵连往东去支援加强陶大勇的装甲第1营作战，因此吕焕炎手里现在剩下5个6门制的75mm野炮连，加上酋崎正刚步兵第18联队重新补充的一个4门制的野炮中队，吕焕炎的二梯队炮兵群一共拥有34门75mm三八式野炮……

The Chinese colonel has the strength to fight and suppress the opponent with artillery, but he is not in a hurry to expose his artillery. The loss of the bridge outside the East Gate of Kharkov will change the direction of the German counterattack tonight in a certain sense. This is Lu Huanyan's hesitation The judgment and choice made after repeated considerations was to temporarily abandon the blasting of the bridge and shift the focus of the German counterattack from the Muto brigade in the southeast to the forest outside the east gate of Kharkov. The traffic artery and logistics base camp near the three-fork intersection is the best bait thrown to the Germans...

At least, you can be exhausted by the Germans... It would be even better if you can attract the opponent's artillery to the city of Kharkov. At dawn, the air force dispatched to close the door and beat the dogs, completely annihilating the German artillery, Hal Kefu is at his fingertips next time, and everyone on the battlefield wants to sing pig's feet. If the German army invests more than one infantry regiment in the east gate to counterattack, Lu Huanyan may not be willing to take on this burden, but now the opponent has only invested one battalion. Then Lu Huanyan does not intend to let this battalion go and withdraw... For this reason, it is necessary to show weakness to the enemy on the Kharkov Bridge, even if it pays some price, it is worth it...
