    ,

    Tao Dayong made his own decision without having time to ask for instructions. He led the 1st Armored Company to block the enemy and gain time for the regiment's main force to plan the next move. If the enemy's main force attacked, he would lead the 1st Company to withdraw westward. If the enemy only had one cavalry battalion, he would  I am sure that I can at least block the enemy and prevent them from searching northward!

    When Lu Huanyan heard the message from Tao Dayong's correspondent, the last sentence was "Ask the regiment commander to bring the main force up quickly. If you are late, it will not be our regiment's turn to grab the meat! It is a waste of money for the 18th Japanese Infantry Regiment."  At this time, I couldn't help but laugh, thinking that this guy's tone is much bigger than my regiment. Two battalions will eat up one or even two divisions. Even if you brag, you can't brag like this, right?  ""Updated fastest, full text typed by hand

    It's not that Lu Huanyan has never thought about leading the main force of the regiment up quickly. If he can catch the opponent's 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division off guard, he might be able to defeat the opponent's right-wing position. Of course, if the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division has strong combat effectiveness,  Without the air support of the aviation force, Lu Huanyan was not so confident that he could use two armored battalions to wipe out the opponent's 12,000-man division.

    According to intelligence from the headquarters, the artillery regiment under the jurisdiction of an infantry division in Ukraine is equipped with 36 75-mm field gun 105-caliber medium-sized howitzers. The artillery firepower of the opponent's division has almost caught up with the Japanese third division here.  As a division, in terms of artillery, the artillery battery of our own armored regiment and the artillery of the 18th Japanese Infantry Regiment are at a disadvantage. Of course, we can call in the air force for air support. The problem is that we can¡¯t see clearly through the forest.  It is quite uncertain how effective the bombing will be if the target is not targeted." See the latest chapter

    Considering the above factors, Lu Huanyan did not underestimate the enemy and rush forward with his two battalions as soon as possible. Instead, he waited for the 18th Japanese Infantry Regiment to catch up before making a decision.  In the Battle of Ukraine, the Japanese troops who showed their talents to save the Imperial Army and did almost nothing in the Battle of Ufa did not need to be mobilized at all. The other side would not be satisfied if Lu Huanyan¡¯s troops did not wait for Masago Eizaki¡¯s regiment to come up. Beiyang 1917698

    What¡¯s more, the call back from the former enemy headquarters of the Southwest Front asked for this:

    To Colonel Lu Huanyan of the 1st Armored Regiment of China,

    The enemy's situation is known in advance. Your troops should build a defense line at the existing position. You must not rush in to alert the enemy. You need to wait for the arrival of the Qiuzaki Zhengang Wing before making a decision. It is expected that Belgorod's air force will be able to complete the replenishment in one hour.  And dispatch, please be prepared to cooperate with the ground to respond to the indicated target!  During this period, a small reconnaissance force must be sent to find out the position deployment and fighting methods of the Ukrainian division as soon as possible, especially the location of the opponent's artillery positions!

    Of course Lu Huanyan knew what Utsunomiya and Shunroku Hata meant. The first thing he was afraid of was that he would scare the Ukrainians away by rushing in. The 18th Regiment of the 5th Infantry Brigade was still more than half an hour behind.  It¡¯s really hard for everyone to catch up. Secondly, I naturally want to leave the credit to the 18th Japanese Infantry Regiment of Masato Ezakizaki at the back. The Chinese Armored Regiment can help to watch over the situation and everything will be fine.

    Like Lu Huanyan, Taro Utsunomiya and Shunroku Hata, who were in charge of the overall situation at the former enemy headquarters, did not take the East Detachment too seriously. The enemy may be two main divisions of the Ukrainian National Army. Although the two battalions of the Chinese Armored Regiment and the affiliated units  , plus the 3,818 people of the 18th Infantry Regiment, the total strength of the East Road Detachment may be only one-quarter of the opponent's two divisions, but the Ukrainians are nothing, they are just puppet troops with guerrilla origins, not to mention the Allied Air Force  After the bomber squadron was dispatched, air and ground coordinated operations. It was still unclear whether the opponent could withstand it or not. The thought that our side might be outnumbered was put aside for a fleeting moment.

    Lu Huanyan then went with the flow and gave up his plan to pull the main force of the regiment up to help Tao Dayong's 1st Battalion and 1st Company to attack the opponent's cavalry battalion before reinforcements from the Japanese Shougang Regiment came up from behind. In the eyes of the Chinese colonel,  Although it is unlikely that Tao Dayong could annihilate the opponent's cavalry battalion of more than 560 people with only a company of more than 100 men, there is absolutely no problem in blocking the enemy or retreating unscathed. Kharkiv River Forest  The geographical environment of the wetland is obviously not suitable for mobile operations of cavalry troops.

    After the fighting started 3 kilometers away to the south, Lu Huanyan listened carefully. The fighting was obviously not fierce. The sound of gunfire was intermittent and vague. After all, it was more than 3 kilometers away in the jungle. It was good to be able to distinguish the sound of gunfire.  Lu Huanyan originally wanted to send Tao Dayong's correspondent back to the front line, but then he thought about it and Tao Dayong led the 1st company to withdraw westward. The correspondent here told the Ukrainians to rush out and capture the prisoners, but that was not the case.  I wish, so I simply let it go and let Tao Dayong lead the 1st company to fight according to the planned plan.

    The guy listened carefully again with his ears tilted. The sound of gunfire seemed to have subsided, but after a while, the sound of gunfire came again. Baoding Army graduates from the military departmentLu Huanyan could tell that it was the roar of a mortar coming out of the barrel, but the sound was not like the sound of the 60th row of mortars equipped by Tao Dayong's company. Lu Huanyan felt calm. It was obvious that the enemy had suffered a heavy blow.  Unfortunately, Tao Dayong's six platoon mortars did not even enter the battle. From this point of view, in the battle between a company and a battalion of the enemy and ours in the front, at least our side is in an invincible position.

    "Regiment commander, should you ask Captain Masago Izaki to come to the regiment headquarters, or should you go to the 18th Infantry Regiment? I watched them forcefully march for 7 kilometers. At this time, the exhausted troops were in the woods on both sides of the road.  Take a rest, Colonel Masago Eizaki's regiment headquarters is not far away, just 1 kilometer behind our position!" Regiment Headquarters Communications Staff Officer Higashi Tanosuke timidly reminded again!

    "Let's go and wait until they come on horseback. The day lily is cold. Zhang Tuanfu, you are responsible for temporary command here. If there is any situation, notify them immediately. If the enemy launches an attack, beat them hard, but don't attack easily.  The regiment reconnaissance company will notify me immediately if there is news!" Lu Huanyan summoned his regiment affiliated Zhang Xuewu and ordered him!

    "Please don't worry, commander! If the enemy comes, I will take care of one of them. If the enemy comes, I will take care of a pair of them. But I said, commander, do you want to send a company to reinforce Tao Dayong and the others? They are too close to the enemy's main force!  If a Ukrainian division attacks, our company cannot stop it." Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Xuewu, attached to the armored regiment, saluted and accepted the order, and then made a tentative suggestion.
