Beiyang 1917

() Von Neuhaus gave this guy a blank look, ignored him, but turned his head and said to his deputy, "Chief of Staff, please explain our next stage of play and listen to everyone's opinions!"

Von Hegemann nodded when he heard the words, got up and came to the battle map hanging on the wall, picked up the baton and said,

"Everyone, the main position of the 48th Infantry Division of General von Ziegfeis is in the northwest direction, about 3 kilometers away from the city of Ekaterinoslav. There are two infantry regiments in front of it. The arc-shaped position is about 49 kilometers wide. On the left and right, the main position of the 5th Infantry Division of General von Woodford is in the southeast direction, about 47 kilometers away from the urban area. The front is also the strength of two infantry regiments, with a defensive width of 141 kilometers. In the middle is the northeast direction of Yekaterinoslav The traffic arteries, where the railways and roads converge, are currently the defense line of the [-]st Infantry Regiment of the [-]th Infantry Division, as well as the area where the reserve team gathers..." ..

Speaking of which, von Hegemann pointed his baton all the way to the northeast to the position of Krasnorad, and nodded, "Simon Petliura is still stuck in this position, gather and regroup his scattered Troops, but the distance from Kharkov to here is about 90 kilometers. If the Ukrainian troops want to gather them together, it will definitely not work without a day or two... Even if they are successfully gathered by him, most of the weapons in the hands of the soldiers will be lost. Eight...the only units that have been formed are the 4th Infantry Division and the 2nd Division of the Infantry, with a combined strength of no more than 3 regiments..."

"I forgot to say, the troops retreating from Kharkov, basically the artillery was wiped out. The 47th Infantry Division only had six 141mm light howitzers from the 6st Artillery Battalion. It is no longer possible to have a single rifle... In this case, it is not wise to fight back rashly or compete with the coalition forces for Krasnorad... General Von Neuhaus intends to use Ukrainian troops to delay the opponent's attack along the way Attack, let the opponent attack all the way to Ekaterinoslav!"..

Colonel von Hegemann stopped after speaking, and asked, "Do you have any questions?"

Colonel Thomas von Lincoln, the chief of staff of von Ziegfuss, raised his hand and said hesitantly, "Ekaterinoslav is not Kharkov. It lacks natural walls and defense lines. Are we using field fortifications to resist the heavy artillery of the coalition forces?" And bombing? That will definitely not be able to persist and cause huge casualties!"

"So hurry up to repair the fortifications. If you can't keep it, you have to send the coalition forces to feed the fish in the Dnieper River!" Colonel von Hegemann replied solemnly!

1918年8月1ri12:30，乌克兰基辅，驻乌克兰德国第10集团军司令部

"Everyone! The situation is very serious... Please let the chief of staff introduce the latest battlefield situation. Of course, don't waste time when Kharkov has already fallen!" General William Gleiner presided over the military meeting. The commander of the German 10th Army may be the youngest German army general on the entire Eastern Front. As the chief of staff, he replaced von Eichhorn, who was honorably dismissed, as the commander of the army before the Battle of Ufa...

Behind William Greiner is Erich von Ludendorff, who was also a staff officer. The rare and excellent generals trained, the Eastern Front battlefield has also become the birthplace of the military career of these two staff generals...

General William Greiner's deputy is the young Army Chief of Staff Major General Emil Hell, but this guy is 48 years old this year. Among the German aristocratic generals with "von" in front of their names, the Army Commander Both William Greiner and Chief of Staff Emile Hull belonged to the wealthy Prussian emerging bourgeoisie at the end of the 19th century, but they had not yet stepped into the ranks of the nobles...

"Your Excellency, Commander, everyone, the situation in Eastern Ukraine is indeed grim... In the past week, no, from July 7 to now, in just 28 days and 5 nights, the offensives launched by the Eastern Allied Forces of the Allied Powers from the air and on the ground have taken over. The obvious advantage, the defeat of the German 4st Fighter Wing led by Captain Goering over Kharkov planted the seeds of Kharkov's fall. Of course, the vulnerability of Ukrainian troops to the coalition air strikes is beyond It has surpassed our imagination..." Chief of Staff Major General Emile Hull walked to the combat map hanging on the wall with a baton in his hand and began to explain the situation on the battlefield.

"Excuse me...Your Excellency, Captain, how long will it take for the 1st Fighter Wing to recover its combat effectiveness? Hasn't the 4th Fighter Wing temporarily seconded the planes and pilots of 5 fighter squadrons to supplement the 1st Fighter Wing? Why? You still insist that no large-scale deployment? How long are we going to let the planes of the bumpkin Chinese monkeys wreak havoc in Eastern Ukraine?!"

The one who interrupted the chief of staff was Lieutenant General Ike von Kusmani, the commander of the 27th German Infantry Army. The corps is the only main infantry army in the German 57th Army, not the reserve infantry army composed of reserve infantry divisions like the 27th and 10st infantry armies. Cove's loss is quite dissatisfied!

"The honor of the German Army is ruined in Kharkov and Ukraine. Captain Goering, the face of the Luftwaffe will be lost over Kharkov. If you don't get back together, where did you fall? The determination to get up from there, just give way earlier!" Feng Kusmani pointed the finger at Captain Hermann Wilhelm Göring, the captain of the German 1st Fighter Wing who was present...

The lowest rank of the other army generals of the 10th Group present was also a colonel. Only the fighter commander Goering, who had been silent in the corner, had the rank of captain. He has his own air force, and Goering's military rank is an army captain, but the aircraft logo of the air force is embroidered on his shoulder... Most of the squadron leaders of the fighter squadron are only lieutenants at this time, and Goering and his two former wing captains are both It's Captain...

If the Kharkov air battle is won, Goering may be promoted to a major before the end of the year, but at this moment, let's think about how to seize the last chance to restore his honor, and Goering will be ashamed as everyone expected. Gathering up the supplementary fighter wing to return to Eastern Ukraine is different. In the past two days, in addition to paying close attention to transition and replenishing supplies and personnel, and strengthening take-off and landing and patrol alerts, Goering has never let go and led the fighter wing to retake Eastern Ukraine. Air supremacy...
