    July 30, 1918 0210:15 Twenty kilometers northeast of Kharkov, Kharkov River Forest

    "Reporting to the leader, the 18th Japanese Infantry Regiment has arrived. Army Colonel Masago Izaki, the commander of the regiment, is holding an evaluation meeting at his regiment headquarters headquarters in the back. Please attend!" A man wearing camouflage came from the road behind.  Captain Higashi Tanosuke, the communications staff officer of the regiment, jumped out of the FJ18 Humvee command vehicle and reported. For an hour, this guy was running back and forth between Lu Huanyan's regiment headquarters and Lu's marching column of Masago Masaki behind, delivering messages.  With the latest enemy situation learned by both sides, "" is the fastest updated and fully text-based hand-printed version.

    Lu Huanyan's armored regiment engineering company had already filled in the deep holes on the forest road. The uncles who were blocking the road were dragged to the roadside by the Zhonghua Fudao TT type engineering vehicle. Not only that,  The remaining three companies of the 1st Armored Battalion have even established a temporary defense line on both sides of the road. The engineer company's paved and renovated access roads extend at 90 degrees from the roadbed on both sides of the road for about 450 meters each, while the 1st Armored Battalion's  40 fd17ii wheeled armored fighting vehicles have already passed through the access road and are neatly arranged on both wings. This is a movable fortress on the defense line that serves as a support point for heavy firepower.

    Three companies of vehicle-borne infantry built individual bunker fortifications between armored vehicles 20 meters apart. One hour was not long or short. Lu Huanyan's regiment, the engineer supply company, was relatively hard.  However, after being equipped with a forklift with an engineering excavation function, the construction was much easier than expected. This temporary field fortification built in the forest was obviously prepared to deal with the enemy's division-level counterattack. "" Read the latest chapter

    Lu Huanyan is a very sophisticated Chinese general. The enemy in front of him is two Ukrainian main divisions. The forest wetland beside the Kharkiv River is quite restrictive for his armored forces, so he is prepared for a rainy day and is waiting behind him.  When the Japanese 18th Infantry Regiment came up, they rushed to build such a field defense line. If the forest 500 meters away on both sides of the road had not become increasingly dense and difficult to pass, this guy even planned to extend the position to 1,000 meters on each flank.  Meters and above Beiyang 1917698

    The line of defense in front of him is a little more than 1 kilometer away from the outer security position of Ukraine in the south, and about 2.5 kilometers away from the right-wing defense line of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division. At this moment, the 1st Company of his 1st Armored Battalion is under battalion commander Tao Dayong's command.  The command was still on the west side of the road 3 kilometers away, and there was a fierce battle with a cavalry battalion that the Ukrainians had turned back to search. The sound of gunfire could even be faintly discerned.

    In this era, if you are in an open area on the plains, you can generally hear the sound of a single shot of a small weapon at a distance of 1000m, and the sound of a continuous shot of a small weapon can be heard at a distance of 1000m. Even farther away, you can hear  It can reach about 5 kilometers. In the forest area on the Kharkov River, due to the cover of the towering old trees in the bush, the 1 Garand of the coalition 3 kilometers away and the Mosin Nagant mounted rifle in the hands of the Ukrainians exchanged fire.  The sound that reaches here is only vaguely distinguishable.

    "Captain! The Japanese commander invites you to go to his wing headquarters for a military meeting! If you can't leave, why don't we invite the commander over?" Higashi Tanosuke, communications staff officer of the Armored Regiment Captain who is a Chinese citizen  Cautiously reminded, this guy was thinking, isn't it because the group leader felt that the captain of the Izaki Masagano's tone was too loud and felt unhappy, so he didn't want to go?  How can I reply to the other party?  However, Captain Dongfang is not stupid. In a blink of an eye, he gave his regimental commander the suggestion to invite the other party over. The reason was naturally that he could not leave due to the busy military affairs.

    Among the three armored battalions of Lv Huanyan's armored regiment, the 2nd Armored Battalion, under the command of the regiment chief of staff Ren Dao, accompanied the 6th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese 5th Infantry Brigade in the West Road Detachment, and the regiment commander Lv Huanyan personally commanded  The remaining two armored battalions became the vanguard of the East Road Detachment, followed by the 18th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese 5th Infantry Brigade. Their mission was to penetrate southeastward and return to the east of Kharkov.

    In addition to two armored battalions, an artillery battery of six 75mm field guns, and an anti-aircraft gun battery towed by a Dodge 1.5-ton military truck, Lu Huanyan also brought with him an engineer supply company from his own armored regiment and a regiment headquarters  The communications service platoon and a regiment-affiliated armored reconnaissance company. The entire armored regiment is full and only the 2nd Armored Battalion, the chief of staff, is missing.

    At this time, the armored regiment's artillery battery positions have been arranged on both sides of the road 100 meters behind the defense line. Six 7538 field guns are lined up on the west side of the mainland. This is a last resort. Due to the high trees and dense forests, it is also  Even though this road is marked as a forest path on the map, it is actually the top of the forest road along the Kharkiv River. The view is relatively open and you can have a better shooting range. Otherwise, if you choose the position in the forest, you will also face the trees overhead.  The dilemma of the towering cannon being ejected from the chamber and hitting the canopy of trees blocking the road halfway.

    The regiment's anti-aircraft artillery company has three 2-gun anti-aircraft gun platoons. Each anti-aircraft gun is a nine-man squad. The whole company has six 37 anti-aircraft guns. At this time, these six 37 anti-aircraft guns are arranged on the east side of the artillery position.  Below the roadbed, it is also chosen because of the wide view. Of course, the sky above Ukraine, especially Eastern UkraineThe sky above Lanzhou is now where the Allied Allied Air Force has complete control of the air. However, Lu Huanyan still does not let up on every opportunity to practice the anti-aircraft artillery battery.

    When defending, the local air force¡¯s priority attack must be its own artillery positions. Therefore, the first thing anti-aircraft artillery air defense must protect is its own heavy fire positions and core fortifications such as headquarters, rather than infantry trenches.

    When the time comes to attack, the six latest Chinese-developed AA anti-aircraft guns in the anti-aircraft artillery company will be flattened and used as anti-tank guns and rapid-fire guns. Although not to mention the Ukrainians, even the German army does not have a large number of tanks.  Although there are German armored vehicles, most of them are military trucks. As for the Ukrainian troops facing them, it is estimated that there will be at most three sets of carriages and machine gun artillery positions to qualify as Lu Huanyan's six anti-aircraft guns.

    Lu Huanyan listened to the faint sound of gunfire 3 kilometers away, and at the same time made a gesture to silence Dongfang Tanosuke. Previously, Tao Dayong sent a correspondent back to deliver a message, saying that the enemy had been determined to be the position of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division, and that there was at least one in the south.  Next to another infantry division, perhaps the sound of armored vehicle engines 3 kilometers away alerted the enemy, or the disappearance of enemy sentries aroused alarm. At this time, the enemy had sent a cavalry battalion out to search north, in order not to expose the main force of the regiment.  assembly position
