    In such a large conference room, the only person who did not shout "Hai" was the commander of a Chinese division armored regiment assigned to the Central Route Army of the Southwest Front by the Allied Forces Command. Among a group of Japanese Major Generals and Federal Major Generals, Lieutenant General  In front of the official, the former commander of the armored regiment of the 9th Division of the Central Military Commission's reorganization, who only held the title of Army Colonel, stood out.

    "Colonel Lu, what is your attitude? Do you have any different opinions on the Central Route Army's early launch of the Ukrainian campaign?" Jiro Oba, the main force of the Southwest Front Army, the commander of the Japanese Third Division and the former enemy commander of the Central Route Army, couldn't help but slap the table.  roared.

    In Oba Jiro's opinion, if the Chinese regiment commander was not the chief officer of the only armored regiment of the Central Route Army, he would not be qualified to participate in the military meeting of the former enemy headquarters that can only be attended by division-level and brigade-level cadres. Of course, he was originally  The former enemy commander-in-chief should be the one sitting in the middle and presiding over the meeting, but who can compete with General Utsunomiya?

    The commander of the Grand Court Division was already very angry and had no place to express his anger. Now he saw that the Chinese armored commander surnamed Lu was just a small colonel and actually stood out from the crowd and refused to shout "Hai" together, so he took advantage of the situation.  He started shouting, and roared with a fierce face, assuming the posture of a former enemy commander-in-chief.

    The 9th Division reorganized by Li Mingzhong of the Chinese Participating Army, the commander of the armored regiment of the division is named Lu Huanyan. Although he is only a colonel in the Chinese Army, his qualifications in the Chinese army are not shallow. Lu Huanyan was born in Luchuan, Guangxi. Lu Huanyan was born in 1890  He was only 28 years old at the time. This guy, named Guangkui, graduated from the Guangxi Army Primary School. After the Revolution of 1911, he was admitted to the third phase of the Baoding Military Academy. He graduated from the artillery department in August 1916.

    Although Lu Huanyan came from a peasant family and went to private school, he didn't like studying. He preferred to wield swords and guns. He traveled from his own county to other counties. He was a typical militant, so he was sent to the Guangxi Army Primary School by his family.  School, hoping to use military education to reassure him. After entering the school, he studied artillery. It can be said that he and Bai Chongxi, Xia Wei, Huang Shaohong and He Weizhen were classmates in the same period, but his promotion in the war army was relatively slow.  , which is closely related to his strong and bad temper that he would rather be straight than bend.

    At this time, most of the students in the third phase of Baoding Military Academy who have joined the war armies have become brigade commanders and division commanders. At the moment, Lu Huanyan is just a colonel commander of the division's armored regiment. The problem lies in  Due to his bad temper, the relationship with his superiors and colleagues has never been good, but this guy from the artillery department is really good at fighting. He is especially good at organizing and dispatching the firepower of machine guns and artillery, and he can fight tough battles.  .

    Lu Huanyan didn't follow a group of Japanese soldiers and federal generals to shout "Hai" just now. Of course, it doesn't mean that he couldn't understand what Taro Utsunomiya said before. Even if he couldn't hear it all, the person sitting behind him understood Japanese and  The Russian-speaking regimental staff adjutant had already translated to him in Chinese in a low voice. Don't tell me, the formation of the Allied Forces in recent days has really cultivated and discovered many soldiers with certain talents in language.

    Lu Huanyan has such a temper. Even if Wang Geng is sitting on top and presiding over the meeting, Colonel Lu may not be able to shout slogans along with you, let alone you Utsunomiya Taro, not to mention you speak Japanese that I am impatient to learn, so Lu Huanyan just watches  Nose, nose and mind, he sat upright and shouted "Hai" at the right moment. In fact, he listened to every word that the regimental staff adjutant who was an attach¨¦ translated to him.

    "Lu Sang, do you have any opinions? If not, we will continue the meeting!" Utsunomiya Taro, the commander of the Southwest Front who was sitting in the chair and presiding over the meeting, was obviously dissatisfied with Oba Jiro's fuss. These days, it doesn't matter if he offends any federal general.  , it is absolutely unwise to offend the Chinese generals. I heard that the regiment commander under Li Mingzhong can at least be a brigade commander and division commander in the Chinese Army in terms of qualifications. Why are you provoking him in public? His Chinese armored regiment is our Central Route Army.  With an iron fist, it was not the Japanese Third Division that turned him around and gnawed the hard bones.

    Of course, Lu Huanyan understood the Chinese words spoken by Utsunomiya Taro, and silently shook his head, indicating that he had no objection. This made the federal division commanders who were watching the excitement around him breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Japanese brigade commanders felt that  I was not angry, but looking at the faces of Chief of Staff Utsunomiya Taro and Hata Shunroku, it was not easy to follow their own division commander and make random noises. This episode in the military meeting passed by in a flash.

    "Now, please let the Chief of Staff tell you again about the deployment of campaign forces and the orders of each unit!" Utsunomiya Taro motioned to Shunroku Hata to continue.

    Shunroku Hata, Chief of Staff of the Allied Southwest Front Army, stood up and walked to the battle map in front of the conference room. He picked up his baton and pointed at the map and talked about the battle plan and arrangements of the Central Route Army.

    "Gentlemen, according to the reconnaissance behind enemy lines of our ground team and the aerial intelligence of the aviation team during this period, the number of Ukrainian troops defending the front line of Kharkov has increased. Currently, there are 4 Ukrainian infantry divisions and two Kharkov  The Husband Volunteer Division, the opponent's defense line spread out along the border, the first line of troops was two infantryMilitary divisions, barbed wire fences, fortifications, and permanent firepower points are all complete!  "

    "In the western section of the railway line, there is the defense line of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division. The front is about eight kilometers wide and the depth is about 2,500 meters. There are three trench positions in the front and rear. In the eastern section of the railway line, the opponent's defense line is the 2nd Ukrainian Infantry Division.  For defense, the front width is also eight kilometers and the depth is 3,000 meters. There are also three trenches at the front and rear, about 1,000 meters apart. "

    "The Ukrainian infantry division is also a division with 2 brigades under its jurisdiction, and each brigade has 2 regiments. In addition, there are division-affiliated infantry reconnaissance troops, baggage troops and artillery troops. A Ukrainian division has about 12,000 people, with military and civilian personnel.  There are about 2,000 people. The opponent has organized an artillery group behind the defense line. Among them, a German heavy artillery regiment is arranged about 5 kilometers behind the border defense line and close to the railway line. According to the results of our reconnaissance, the effective range of the opponent's German heavy howitzer can  Covering an area of ??3 kilometers from the border!¡±

    "The Ukrainian authorities have deployed the remaining two infantry divisions and two volunteer divisions on the second line of defense northwest of Kharkov. As for the south, a German infantry division is stationed at the Kharkov South Railway Station.  More than 12,000 people are responsible for the entire southern defense line of Kharkov, southward along the railway line from Kharkov to Dnipropetrovsk. Along the line are two German divisions as mobile forces! "

    "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, why does Ukraine not use all four divisions for border defense, but only two divisions, and the combined width of their defense lines is less than 20 kilometers. Aren't they afraid that we will outflank them?" Voronezh Army Commander Si  Jieping couldn't help but ask.
