    Therefore, compared with the 36 75mm field guns and 105mm howitzers of the artillery regiment of the Ukrainian Infantry Division opposite, the artillery brigade of the 18th Japanese Infantry Regiment only has 8 75mm caliber field guns. If you add 6 37mm anti-aircraft guns, in the artillery  In terms of firepower, it is also far inferior to its opponents. The regimental artillery company of the Chinese armored regiment is only equipped with 6 75mm field guns. The difference in ground artillery firepower is huge. If the opponent is counted as two divisions, in terms of artillery fire,  The advantage is even greater

    That is to say, the 24 Chinese-made 81mm battalion mortars equipped by the artillery teams of the three infantry brigades of the 18th Infantry Regiment of Japan are included, plus the two 8-gun battalion mortar platoons of the Chinese Armored Regiment.  The comparison of the number of guns between the two sides is 14+12+24+16=66 for the Allied Forces vs. 36+12+36+12=96 for the Ukrainians, which is far inferior to their opponents."

    In the Battle of Ufa, the Allied forces achieved an overwhelming advantage. The reason was that both the number and power of artillery far exceeded that of the Soviet Red Army. Coupled with the air-ground coordination of the aviation fleet, the strength and firepower of the East Road Detachment were now far inferior.  On the defensive side, the Ukrainian main division and the air force are affected by the river forest wetland environment and terrain. It is not yet known how much role they can play. In this case, Nobunaga of the Chinese Armored Regiment did not wait for the air force's fighters to arrive in the sky.  Collaboration requires a separate attack from the ground "" See

    The Japanese general Cininggong Regiment Commander Izaki Masaaki who was present here had just arrived. The battalion commanders and majors below, including Regiment Regiment Captain Takeuchi Bin, found what Lu Huanyan said a bit incredible!  The four Japanese captains looked at each other in shock after hearing this, obviously unable to accept the arrogance and arrogance of the Chinese colonel.

    "Lu Sang, I think the safest way is to wait for the air force to attack before launching a ground attack. Our current strength ratio is 1:4, the number of cannons is only one-seventh of the opponent's, and the opponent has 24 105mm howitzers.  , We can¡¯t use 81mm mortars to fight against the opponent¡¯s 105mm howitzers, right?¡± Captain Yuzaki Masago of the 18th Infantry Regiment persuaded him while taking out a handkerchief and wiping the sweat on his forehead.

    July 30, 1918 - 10:25, 21 kilometers northeast of Kharkiv, Kharkiv Riverside Forest

    "Your Excellency, captain of the regiment, soldiers are very quick. My armored regiment has wasted almost an hour waiting for your 18th infantry regiment. Now my 1st company is still fighting fiercely with the enemy's cavalry battalion. If we wait any longer,  , my Ukrainians may have run away when they came to their senses. As long as the opponent leaves the road, the advantage of the armored unit's pursuit will be completely lost. If your infantry unit does not intend to attack, then I suggest you take over.  Our troops rushed to build a temporary defense line, and I led the armored regiment to charge forward along the road, trying to block the opponent's retreat in the south! "

    Lu Huanyan¡¯s voice is not loud, but he reveals the tenacity and confidence of the commander of the Chinese armored forces.

    If it were a plain area, he would dare to charge with only two battalions of fd17ii wheeled armored combat vehicles. The opponent's artillery firepower would of course be a problem, but by using the mobility and flexible dispatch of the armored forces, there is still a chance to break through the enemy's position.  , the frontal armor thickness of the fd17ii wheeled armored battlefield has been increased to 16mm. It is almost impossible for either Maxim or the German mg08 to effectively penetrate. The m2 Browning large-caliber heavy machine gun equipped on the fd17ii turret can be used in battlefields without tanks.  An almost invincible and unstoppable existence

    The aviation team's air-ground coordination and bombing are of course the sharpest weapons for cleaning up the opponent's artillery positions. However, in Lu Huanyan's view, things may change even after waiting for an hour. Once the enemy retreats and pursues them, it will be half the result with half the effort. This Ukrainian forest wetland is absolutely impossible.  Not the best use of your own armored forces

    Lu Huanyan even made a plan to rush his armored regiment all the way to the outskirts of Kharkov to attack the city, leaving the Ukrainians in the forest to be dealt with by the Japanese 18th Infantry Regiment and the Air Force. Of course, this  Now, we have to rush over first. Just kidding, the commander-in-chief has emphasized many times in the coalition field training courses that rapid and violent attacks on the enemy's flanks and rear are the key points of the armored troops' attack. Fighting positional warfare in jungle wetlands,  For the wheeled armored fighting vehicle troops, it feels a bit like they are not doing their best.

    Until now, Lu Huanyan was still upset. If his armored regiment could be equipped with the latest domestically produced Chinese FD18 Trailblazer light tanks in advance, then the tracked tanks equipped with m******at tank guns would be  This jungle wetland is the perfect place to use it. It will be devastating to see how the Ukrainians can resist it.

    "Colonel Lu, the former enemy command just asked us to rendezvous as soon as possible to find out the situation of the enemy's positions and find out the location of the opponent's artillery positions. They did not ask us to launch an attack before the air force arrived. Maybe the former enemy command would mobilize the infantry units.  The 23rd Brigade came up to reinforce our East Road Detachment. After all, the opponent had at least two infantry divisions. Even if they were Ukrainians, the guns and artillery they were equipped with were seriously made in Germany. What¡¯s more, the opponent¡¯s artillery occupied a huge area.  Firepower advantage! We can¡¯t be careless!¡±

      The commander of the 18th Infantry Regiment, Masahiro Izaki, was also a little anxious. He grabbed Lu Huanyan¡¯s hand and almost started shouting!  For Izaki Masato, since he did not want his 18th Infantry Regiment to attack the Ukrainians before Lu Huanyan's armored regiment in order to win the first victory for the Japanese troops, he could not follow the Chinese armored troops all day long.  Picking up foreign goods?  When will the glory of the Imperial Army be restored from his own hands?

    At the same time, in the face of the opponent's artillery firepower that is likely to have a huge advantage, Izaki Masago does not want to take the huge risk of launching a ground attack without the cooperation of the air force to deal with the opponent's artillery. In a word, you have to fight for the first place.  , it is best to leave the bones to the Chinese Air Force, so this guy heard that Lu Huanyan was about to launch an attack alone, and he had to rush to the gates of Kharkov and then circle around to intercept the two Ukrainian divisions and retreat to Kharkov.  Seeing her husband's retreat, the man became anxious and sweat dripped from his forehead.

    "Your Excellency, Captain, thank you for your reminder. Why are we here in Ukraine? Aren't we just going into battle to destroy the enemy? How can we hesitate at this time?!"
