Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "The platoon leader of the guard post led his men to search for it, but when they reached the river 200 meters away from the guard post, they lost sight of him. Either they were too sleepy and accidentally fell into the river while relieving themselves by the river, causing the Kharkov River to escape.  The river was washed away, or the enemy's scouts caught our sentinel's tongue! You know, more than 25,000 people from our two divisions came over last night, and there were footprints all over the ground on both sides of the forest path.  It's really not easy to tell the difference," Chief of Staff Kravshenko said while putting the Ruger pistol in his holster and looking at his division commander worriedly.

    "Don't be careless. It seems that the situation is not good. Send a battalion to search north along the forest path. I think the roadblock has aroused the suspicion of the enemy's reconnaissance troops. I told you earlier that it was superfluous, but it will appear that we are timid. Send my order  , all the troops entered the position to prepare for battle, and the artillery regiment also deployed its position! "Milevsky made up his mind quickly.  Fastest update, all text typed by hand

    Here, the division chief of staff Kravshenko was not busy giving orders. He grabbed his division commander and whispered in the corner of the tent,

    "Division Commander, let me tell you Artem Vladimirovich, our mission is to hide and wait, not to confront the coalition forces head-on. Moreover, the enemy situation is unclear now. Logically, the main Japanese forces in the coalition forces should attack Kharko directly.  It's better to go. What may appear around us is just a small reconnaissance force from the other side. If our artillery positions are deployed, the noise will be loud. What if the main force of the coalition forces is really recruited?  It¡¯s easy to handle! Even if the reconnaissance planes in the sky find us, the power of the coalition¡¯s air strike in the morning is shocking and shocking from a distance of more than 10 kilometers!¡± Read the latest chapter!

    The division commander here, Milevsky, became anxious when he heard this and stamped his feet, "Then what do you think we should do? The 1st Division hasn't slept a wink all night. Now it's time to set out again, but it can't run anywhere, let alone hide in the forest by the river."  How can they avoid the eyes and ears of the opponent's reconnaissance planes? If they really fight, the opponent may not be able to drop accurate bombs. The shade of the trees is a protective umbrella, so they are not afraid of dropping it on their own troops. How about we send a telegram?  Ask the former enemy headquarters for instructions on what to do next?¡±

    "No! Division Commander, didn't Hermann von Fran?ois repeatedly remind us that our two divisions are on standby only as a last resort. The radio cannot be turned on without authorization during the day, otherwise the reconnaissance of the coalition forces in the sky will use radio direction finding.  I heard that in Western Siberia, the Soviet guerrillas were uprooted one by one by the coalition reconnaissance aircraft in the sky using radio direction finding methods!" Chief of Staff Kravshenko objected hurriedly!  .

    "Fight but not allowed to fight? I asked the former enemy headquarters for instructions and you refused to give in. What do you think our division should do? Let me tell you, Chief of Staff, isn't there Mihalik's 2nd Infantry Division in the south?  Let's turn around and eat up the coalition troops behind us who have planned to catch up from nowhere! I can't. Our two main divisions are fully equipped with German weapons and equipment. We really can't beat the Japanese yellow-skinned monkeys who are resisting the 38-year-old Gai.  Soldier?" Milevsky shouted anxiously.

    Chief of Staff Kravshenko shook his head when he heard this, "Division Commander, if we wait for a while in the trenches and build defense lines, we can still fight with the Japanese devils. We are tired at the moment and haven't slept much all night. The troops are exhausted.  Our physical strength is exhausted, and our morale has been shattered by the coalition air raids in the morning. At this time, the enemy situation is unknown and the coalition air force can be summoned at any time. We must not act rashly. I mean, I mean, we have to  If we bite the bullet and continue southward, we have to fight at night if we want to fight the coalition forces, so it will not be easy for the opponent's air force to take advantage of it. "

    "Pull them down, you said yourself that the troops are exhausted and exhausted, so how can they run away? Besides, to the south is the camp of the 2nd Infantry Division. What will happen if we run away from the 2nd Division? Where will we run? No, I think we still have to run.  Maybe the opponent is just a small force? If there is only one Japanese infantry unit, the strength of our two divisions is 4 times that of the opponent. This guy will kill the opponent with a counterattack, and morale will be improved.  Well, won¡¯t our 1st Infantry Division get angry in front of His Excellency Petliura?" Milevsky disapproved and planned to push Kravshenko away and go out to call someone to give orders.

    Unexpectedly, the chief of staff grabbed the guy again and said anxiously,

    "Commander, commander, listen to me. I suggest that we send a battalion to fight back. If the enemy chasing behind is just a small group of scouts, we will eat the opponent. If the opponent is a large force, the battalion will withdraw to the west and take down the enemy."  The enemy draws away, and the main force of our division, I suggest, I suggest that we withdraw the main force of the division to the east bank of the Kharkov River. At the junction of our division and the 2nd Infantry Division camp, there is a section of the river where the river is relatively narrow.  Of course, we have to take some risks. I think we can escape the enemy's pursuit by jumping to the other side of the river!"

    Division Commander Milevsky was stunned when he heard this, "Evacuate to the east bank of the Kharkov River? Are you not afraid of being discovered by the reconnaissance planes of the coalition forces in the sky? This is not a regiment wading across the river. The entire 2As for an infantry division, if we don't build a pontoon bridge, the artillery can't pull it across at all. Do we still have the strength to build a bridge?  Can the 2nd Infantry Division agree?  "

    "But it's not up to them. You are the commander of the 1st Infantry Division, our main force. Although the two divisions are fighting together, you are not the one who directly commands and dispatches the 1st and 2nd Infantry Divisions to act together? You have to rely on me.  The safe way is for us to move the 1st Infantry Division to the other side of the river, leaving the 2nd Infantry Division to hold its position on the left bank of the Kharkov River. This way, both sides can move forward and retreat freely. They can set up formations along the river to avoid being outflanked by the coalition forces.  We can attack all the retreats!" Chief of Staff Kravshenko said sinisterly.

    The implication of Chief of Staff Kravshenko's words is obvious. The so-called Jiahe formation is a hornet's nest. Since Milevsky, as the commander of the 1st Division, the main force of the 1st Group Army of the Ukrainian National Army, he temporarily commanded and coordinated the infantry unit.  The transfer and covert standby operations of the 1st and 2nd Infantry Divisions, so as long as the 2nd Infantry Division remains on the left bank of the Kharkov River, this task cannot be considered abandoned halfway, that is, Hermann von Francois and Pat  Liu La said it all in front of him.

    Division Commander Milevsky also came to his senses at this moment, holding his chin and looking at his chief of staff suspiciously, saying,

    "Send one battalion? The division headquarters guard battalion has probably been completely destroyed on the first trench position. Send another battalion? Then we can only send out the division cavalry reconnaissance battalion? But this is a way, let's  After running south all night, it was definitely a mistake to ignore the head and shoulders. The rapid march of the two divisions took advantage of the cover of the riverside woods and night to avoid the opponent's reconnaissance plane in the sky, but it was obviously impossible to avoid the opponent's reconnaissance force.  No way! Are you sure this is a good idea?"
