    In addition, each soldier is also equipped with 4 Chinese-made imitation British melon grenades as close-range firepower supplement. Wang Geng has the advantage of being a time traveler. As early as 1917, this guy personally referred to the design of the German M4 helmet in World War II and let China  The arsenal affiliated to the Ministry of the Army has put into production the Chinese M17-style steel helmet. As a reference to the design of the best helmets in World War II, this helmet provides good protection for the occipital bone on the back of the soldier's head and both sides of the head, and can have obvious ear protection of the helmet.  part.

    The Chinese M17 individual soldier helmet is painted gray and black, and is wrapped with the same painted military fine canvas as camouflage and protective padding. There is also a mesh bag on the outside that can be conveniently inserted with branches and shrub leaves for camouflage. Fastest update  , all text typed by hand

    In addition to the above-mentioned equipment, Chinese participating army field soldiers are also equipped with canvas H-shaped carrying vests that were also designed and improved by Wang Geng himself. The weight of the backpack and equipment behind them is reasonably and effectively distributed to various parts of the torso to reduce marching fatigue.  Of course, as a temporary reconnaissance unit of the army, the 1st Company of the 1st Battalion led by Tao Dayong at this moment was lightly equipped and left the individual rucksacks on the armored vehicle. The water bottle, dry food bag, half-waist aluminum lunch box, individual shovel,  A small satchel containing a first aid kit and other personal belongings is attached to the hooks of the carrying vest and S-shaped belt.

    The carrying harness of the Chinese participating armies is the same as the h-shaped carrying harness used by Britain and the United States, while Germany uses a y-shaped carrying harness. In addition to the carrying harness, the carrying vest has a wide outer belt and the carrying straps form the main load-bearing structure of the carrying equipment.  part.  The characteristic of the S belt of the Chinese participating army is that it has many holes for connecting components.

    Secondly, the components hanging on the individual combat vest are mainly bayonets, ammunition bags, grenade bags, kettle bags, lunch boxes, shovels and covers, gas mask bags, miscellaneous bags and bread bags, backpacks, raincloths/tents, etc.  At this time, although the backpacks and individual tents were lightly unpacked and placed on the armored vehicle, the raincoats that could double as raincloths on the ground were draped on the soldiers of the 1st Company of the 1st Armored Battalion.

    The cowhide ammunition bags produced in China are made of fine workmanship and excellent quality. Each of the 4 bags in a row can hold two eight-round M1 Garand semi-automatic riding rifle bridge-type leaky magazines, with a total of 8 magazines and 64 rounds of bullets. In addition  A separate large leather ammunition satchel can also carry an additional 8 magazines, 64 rounds of rifle bullets and a spare m1911 pistol magazine. As an individual vehicle-mounted infantry soldier of the Chinese participating army, the 4 melon grenades in the grenade bag  , 18 rounds of rifle bullets and 8 rounds of pistol bullets are their basic individual ammunition, and it will never be less than this quantity at any time. During major operations or when they are far away from logistics support, riflemen will also carry a canvas ammunition bag with  Filled with at least an extra base of rifle bullets.

    The orders of Tao Dayong, Commander of the 1st Armored Battalion, were obviously implemented quickly. The number of enemies and the strength of their own troops had gradually changed for the soldiers of the Chinese Armored Forces, who had won consecutive battles as soon as they came out of the border.  They are numb. Victory is their only pursuit. Even if the enemy is outnumbered, don't forget that we are chasing the enemy at the moment. How can the Ukrainian cavalry be any better than the Soviet Red Army Cossack cavalry of Budyonny and Xia Boyang?  ?

    Although there is only an infantry company with more than 1 people dismounted and fighting in front of them, for the Chinese people lying in the natural fortification of Ganhegou at this moment, they are speaking Ukrainian as if they are facing Dora Net and riding on them.  The Ukrainian cavalrymen who were immediately carrying sabers and Mosin-Nagant rifles were not afraid. Naturally, they were nervous, but that was a normal reaction on the battlefield.

    Since the positions of the platoon led by Tao Dayong and the 3rd platoon are at an angle to the southwest of the sharp knife platoon led by company commander Fan Yijun, this dry river ditch is many meters long and runs northeast and southwest. If the sharp knife platoon moves the enemy cavalry to the west  If so, then the Ukrainian cavalry chasing after them would become a living target for the guns of the platoon and the 3rd platoon commanded by Tao Dayong, at a distance of less than 8 meters.

    July 3, 1918 9: Fifteen kilometers northeast of Kharkov, woodland on the Kharkov River

    If the 1st Infantry Division of the 1st Army of the Ukrainian National Army is the main division directly under the commander-in-chief of the National Army Simon Petliura, then the division-affiliated cavalry reconnaissance battalion of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division is the division commander Atem?  Vladimirovich Mihalik, one of the main direct descendants of Major General Milevsky and the commander of the 1st Infantry Division, Taras Tasimovich Michalik, left his division reconnaissance battalion in  The first trench and fortification line north of Kharkov was built, and the Ukrainian National Army's fighting will was demonstrated with persistence and bloody sacrifice.

    Milevsky is not willing to let himself, the only cavalry unit in the 1st Infantry Division, fight in position defense battles and serve as cannon fodder for coalition air raids. Good steel must be used on the blade. In fact, last night, the 1st Infantry Division and  The 1st Infantry Division was able to successfully withdraw from the northern trench defense line without lighting a torch in the dark without getting lost or falling into the turbulent Kharkov River. As the pioneer of the two divisions, the 1st Infantry Division  The division cavalry reconnaissance battalion played an important role.

    Of course, the commander of the 1st Infantry Division, Mihalik, also had a hard time saying no.?, this guy put the division reconnaissance battalion on the position to hold on, originally hoping to take advantage of their high mobility, so that they could mount their horses and retreat at any time when the situation was bad. In other words, the 1st Infantry Division left by Milevsky  The division headquarters guard battalion was a real arrangement and plan to defend the position and fight to the bitter end. However, the cunning commander of the 1st Infantry Division, Mihalik, had no intention of letting his battalion hold on to the position from the beginning. He just wanted to deal with the signs of trouble.  Sayazi retreats.

    The ending was of course unsatisfactory. Most of the war horses hidden behind the positions were damaged in the air attack by the coalition Handley Petty O/4 heavy bomber group, and one-third of the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion of the Infantry Division were killed in the battle.  Second, the rest were all captured by the Japanese yellow-skinned monkeys. Naturally, some of the captured Ukrainian reconnaissance battalion soldiers did not think so. In their view, they were defeated by the aircraft of the Allied Air Force in the sky and from the ground.  The Chinese armored troops of the coalition forces were outflanking from behind.

    The wheeled armored fighting vehicle's rifles and machine gun bullets could not penetrate at all, and the M Browning 1.7mm large-caliber heavy machine gun on the opponent's machine gun tower that could rotate 36 degrees started firing. The hot firepower was simply a rapid-fire machine.  The artillery is almost indestructible and can sweep down large trees. It is so abnormal and terrifying. A heavy machine gun bullet fired by a Ukrainian soldier from a coalition armored vehicle basically caused the limbs to fly wildly and lifelessly.
