Beiyang 1917

() "Everyone, we must face up to a reality. On the Eastern Front, the Luftwaffe does not have enough reserve forces. In the short term, it will always be in a state where the enemy is strong and we are weak. We can't afford to fight with the Chinese king of the coalition forces. We can't fight this. In this case, we must first strive to maintain the presence of the German Air Force over Ukraine, so that the coalition air force can be involved, so that their fighter jets and bombers cannot appear unscrupulously above the German ground forces, but must always be on guard Luftwaffe attack!"

Before Goering finished his sentence, Major General von Bierkai taunted him disdainfully, "Captain, the majestic German fighter ace wing, are you actually going to be reduced to stealth and piecemeal? Manfred Albrecht von Richter If Baron Hoffen is still alive, I don’t know if you and your alliance have the face to say this in front of him.” . .

"Major General, be careful with your words! Captain Goering's idea, I think, is in line with the current situation and the enemy's situation! I have decided that Captain Goring's air force will focus on small formations and guerrilla warfare against the coalition air force. And, instead of going south, Major General von Birkay will command the 41st Infantry Division to attack from the northern line and fight along Glukhov towards Kursk! At least it will reduce the pressure on the south!"

General William Gleiner made the final decision and decided on Kiev's battle plan.

At 1918:8 on August 1, 12, in the territory of the Volga Federation, Yekhtinsky, Kamensk, the headquarters of the East Route Army of the Southwest Front Army

"It's strange... why did Samara make such a decision? Could it be because General Utsunomiya couldn't deal with the two guys, Oba and Fujii?" said the former enemy commander-in-chief of the Southwest Front Army of the Allied Forces and the No.12 Division of Japan The head of the division, Lieutenant General Chai Goro, circled in front of the battle map with his hands behind his back. In the meeting room, all the brigade and above generals of the Japanese No. 12 division were present, as well as the 3rd Chinese Armored Regiment and the Federal Tsaritsin Army. The generals came together for this emergency military meeting. . .

The East Route Army of the Southwest Front Army of the Allied Forces is composed of the No.12 Division of Japan as the core. The division commander, Lieutenant General Shibagoro, was originally the commander-in-chief of the former enemy of the East Route Army, and the chief of staff was also Sergeant Seishiro Itagaki, who was airborne from the Allied Army Headquarters. The No.12 Infantry Division Ri Army This No.12 Division was the famous Kurume Division in Wang Geng's previous life. This 12th Division was established in 1898. It is mainly composed of soldiers from Fukuoka, Saga, and Nagasaki. (Northern Kyushu, including part of Oita Prefecture) officers and soldiers.

Fukuoka has had economic and cultural exchanges with China and North Korea since ancient times. Fukuoka people are considered to be very open and humane.Among them, Saga County used to be the Nabeshima Domain, and the samurai of the Nabeshima Domain have always been known for their loyalty to the monarch.In addition, in Japan, there is a proverb that "where the Saga samurai walked, no grass grows", which symbolizes the thoroughness of the Saga people in doing things.

At the end of the shogunate, Nagasaki had extensive economic and cultural exchanges with China and the Netherlands. Before the Japanese No.12 Division entered Siberia, it assumed the task of dispatching troops from Vladivostok. Of course, after conquering the Vladivostok fortress In the process, the old Maozi defenders knocked out a few teeth severely, and almost lost an infantry regiment. However, after joining the Eastern Front Allied Forces of the Allied Powers, the No.12 Division has completed the supplement, basically Full staff.

柴五郎的No.12师团下辖：步兵第12旅团(步兵第14联队、步兵第47联队）、步兵第24旅团(步兵第24联队、步兵第48联队)、要塞炮兵联队、骑兵第12大队

12th Artillery Brigade, 12th Engineer Brigade; 12th Heavy Brigade

The No.12 division has about 24400 people, about the size of six regiments. In terms of number, it can only be regarded as a second-class division, but it is the elite of Japan's standing division, and the leader of the division is well-known Lieutenant General of the Chinese Army Tong Chai Goro.

Speaking of which, Chai Goro was the earliest "China Hand" of the Japanese Army. When the Boxers rioted against foreigners in 1900, he was serving as the military attache of the Japanese Legation in the Qing Dynasty. During the more than 50 days of the "Fist Rebellion" Boxers besieging the embassy area, this fellow commanded a limited guard force to protect the safety of the ministers of various countries. Afterwards, he received medals issued by governments of various countries.

Moreover, Chai Goro is a rare senior general with an artillery background. He graduated from the Artillery Department of the third phase of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy. He is the captain of the field artillery regiment and was promoted to major general on November 1905, 1907.

Served as the commander of the Sasebo Fortress, concurrently head of the 2nd Heavy Artillery Brigade, attached to the General Staff Headquarters, head of the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade, and commander of the Shimonoseki Fortress.He was promoted to lieutenant general in 1913 and served as the head of the 12th division. On May 1917, 5, he was awarded the first-class Ruibao medal.

If you want to say that such a character, his career in the army is not going well, the reason is that he has a bad background. This guy comes from the Aizu clan, the deadly enemy of the second clan of Sachang during the Meiji Restoration. Because of the feud, the leaders of the army are crowded out everywhere he.The second disadvantage is that Shibagoro did not graduate from the Japanese Army University. This is a complete loss of low education. He has served as the commander of the fortress twice, and his future is bleak. Fortunately, Emperor Meiji still misses him. , and finally let him become the head of the 12th division, this time is four years!

Shibagoro regards the undertaking of the East Route Army in the Ukrainian Campaign as the No.12 Division’s phoenix nirvana journey. The greatest hope of washing away the shame of Vladivostok and the inaction in the Ufa Campaign lies in the immediate Ukrainian Campaign, commanded by Oba Jiro In his opinion, the progress of the Central Army in Kharkov is not worth mentioning. The Ukrainian National Army is at best a puppet army. .

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that although Kharkiv has been occupied, it is the coalition air force and the Chinese armored force that have made great efforts to make military exploits. It will not be a moth to move the main force of the West Route Army to the east. Fortunately, the order issued by the Samara United Army Headquarters to reorganize the front lines into brigades is the first to bear the brunt of the Seventh Division of the West Route Army and the Third Division of the Central Route Army. Integration of divisions.

As for the Eastern Route Army located in Yehtinsky, it is just called the Donetsk Cluster under another name, and Shibagoro is still the commander of the cluster, responsible for commanding the offensive in the direction of Donetsk, and Seishiro Itagaki is the chief of staff of the cluster, but The Donetsk Group will also mix and strengthen the two infantry brigades of the No.12 Division into a mixed brigade, which is good news for the brigade leaders of the two infantry brigades.
