Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Like Wang Geng¡¯s previous life, it is basically a system of one position with two titles, divided into 4 levels and 12 levels:

    Marshal: Marshal

    General: general, admiral, lieutenant general, major general;

    Colonel: Colonel, Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, Major;

    Lieutenant: captain, lieutenant, second lieutenant.

    Soldiers are divided into two levels: private and private, and non-commissioned officers are divided into three levels: sergeant, sergeant and corporal.  Fastest update, all text typed by hand

    Comparatively speaking, the three levels of soldiers in Beiyang were simplified into the two levels of private and upper class soldiers in the Volga Federation, while the rank of colonel was added to the rank of colonel, and the rank of general was added to the rank of general. The rank of marshal is not owned by Beiyang.

    "Send the order, the brigade sets off, speed up, and catch up with the Chinese armored regiment within 40 minutes!" Commander Yu Qizheng just took the water bottle handed by the orderly next to him and drank some water, wiped his mouth, raised his hand and gave the latest order  Order, while turning to the young and energetic Captain Fu Zhuuchibin of the regiment, he said,

    "Takeuchi-kun, things are different now. If you were a major, even Colonel Lu wouldn't be able to say anything about training Higashi Tanosuke. You are only a captain now, but you still need some time to train a Chinese captain. Besides,  Having said that, what are you doing to provoke the Chinese? Mr. Hata Shunroku and Mr. Utsunomiya will not easily offend the Chinese generals. Read the latest chapter.

    Don't look at it, Dongfang Tanosuke is just a captain now. Many of the Chinese who have studied in our Lu Shidu have become regimental commanders and brigade commanders. This Dongfang Tanosuke is in Lu Shi  He is also a top student. He may have a bright future in high school. Just don't make trouble for me!  "

    After hearing this, Takeuchi Bin nodded angrily. He stepped on the spurs on the heels of his riding boots. The horse felt pain after sitting down and rushed forward fiercely. The captain of the unit, Masago Kizaki, shook his head helplessly and stood before a group of guards.  Surrounded by his and his staff officers, they also put their horses to follow. The 4th column of the 18th Regiment of Japanese Infantry with a total strength of 3,818 people meandered on the forest path for nearly 1.5 kilometers, like a blue-black giant python.  Speeding up the past that surges forward.

    July 30, 1918, 9:20, the camp of the 1st Infantry Division of the Ukrainian National Army in the woodland on the banks of the Kharkiv River, fifteen kilometers northeast of Kharkiv

    On the morning of late July in northeastern Ukraine, the sun passed through the treetops and floated in the clearings of forest wetlands. This is the bank of the Kharkiv River fifteen kilometers northeast of Kharkiv. The new capital of Ukraine, Kharkiv, is located  The intersection of the three rivers Kharkiv, Lopan and Udy.

    The climate near Kharkiv is temperate continental, with cold winters and snow, and hot summers. The average temperature in January is 6.9 degrees Celsius, and the average temperature in July is 20.3 degrees Celsius. The annual rainfall is 513 mm, and the rainy season is  June and July are the main months. For Ukraine, these sunny days at the end of July are obviously rare good weather in the rainy season in June and July.

    Of course, the good weather objectively made it inevitable for the German Air Force's 1st Fighter Wing and the Allied Air Force to have aerial fires. The German-Ukrainian forces, which had lost their air supremacy, were devastated and ravaged by large-scale air raids by the Allied Air Force.  Objectively, the former enemy headquarters of the German-Ukrainian forces had to urgently activate Plan B, which finally allowed the 1st and 2nd Ukrainian Infantry Divisions to withdraw from the gate of hell in time overnight.

    The two elite Ukrainian infantry battalions that were left on the position to demonstrate the unyielding will of the Ukrainian National Army to resist became victims of 250-pound aerial bombs dropped by the Handley Petty O/400 heavy bomber of the coalition air force.  Taste.

    The North Donets River, which meanders to the south in the northwest direction of Kharkiv, is the largest tributary on the right bank of the Don River.  It originates from the hills of Central Russia, flows southeast through twists and turns, passes through northeastern Ukraine, and joins the Don River in Rostov Oblast, Russia.  It is 1,053 kilometers long and has a drainage area of ??98,900 square kilometers.  The average annual flow of the estuary is 190 m2/s, and the annual runoff is 6.3 cubic kilometers.  The freezing period is from early December to early April of the following year.  315 kilometers from the river mouth.  A reservoir is built upstream to supply water to Kharkov.  The North Donets River Donbass Canal (130 kilometers long) is drilled in the middle reaches to provide water to Donetsk.  Important cities along the coast include Belgorod, Izyum and Lischichansk.

    The Kharkiv River in the northeast of Kharkiv is an important tributary of the Northern Donets River. It meanders from the northeast of Kharkiv to the southwest, and passes through the suburbs of Kharkiv and merges into the broad north.  The Donets River, the gathering place of the 1st Infantry Division of the 1st Ukrainian Army, is located near the dense and humid forest wetlands on the banks of the Kharkov River. A forest path less than 1 kilometer away from the river is almost the same as the one in Kharkiv from north to south.  parallel to the banks of the Erkov River.

    The main tree species of the Kharkiv river forest wetland are mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests, while pine, hornbeam, oak, beech, spruce, fir, basswood, maple, birch, alder, poplar  These tree species can be found almost as long as you look carefully in this dense forest in the northeast of Kharkiv. It is only called a forest wetland because June and July are the rainy season in northeastern Ukraine, and two-thirds of the days are rainy.  non-stop, ?The flooding of the Erkov River caused the riverside woodlands to be filled with large and small ponds. Shrubs and ferns took advantage of the humid and hot weather to occupy the forest glades.

    After the 1st and 2nd Infantry Divisions of the 1st Group Army of the Ukrainian National Army evacuated the first trench defense line in the north overnight, they came to the camp in the riverside forest that is nearly 10 kilometers long and 5 kilometers deep. It is half a month.  Formerly, that Hermann at the German-Ukrainian Allied Forces Command.  Feng.  Old man Francois forced Simon.  The backup camp built by Petliura's troops was used to implement the so-called Plan B of exchanging space for time when necessary.

    Of course, this is just a backup camp. Although trenches have been dug and tree barriers have been erected, it can only be regarded as a temporary field position at best. The tents in the camp are pitched on small dry highlands and slopes. Two Ukrainian national troops  The infantry division almost didn't sleep all night. After evacuating the first trench position in an emergency, they dragged their tired pace and moved to this preset camp in the dark at 3 o'clock in the morning.

    If it were not for the cover of night and the towering trees overhead, most of the shifting ranks of these two divisions would not be able to escape the eyes and ears of coalition night-flying reconnaissance planes. Of course, the tired and exhausted soldiers of the Ukrainian infantry division were moving exhausted.  After arriving at their destination, most people held their guns and found a dry place to sleep, cursing and complaining about the former enemy headquarters of the German-Ukrainian coalition and their commander-in-chief Simon.  Petliura's blind command wasted lives and money, and he did not consider the sounds of the troops below to be human beings replaced by the sound of sleeping and snoring one after another.
