    ,

    Lu Huanyan, the commander of the regiment here, said, "Wait a moment!" He turned around and said first, "Captain Dongfang, go to the engineering baggage depot to convey my order to dispatch ten Dodge military trucks to pick up people from the 18th Japanese Infantry Regiment in the north.  , Izaki just gave me an infantry squadron to cooperate with us. Although this deal is a bit disadvantageous, we can't care too much about the friendly forces! "

    "As ordered!" Dongfang Tanosuke, the communications staff officer of the regiment, saluted and rushed to convey the order and arrangements. Lu Huanyan then turned around and said,

    "Are the boys of the reconnaissance company exhausted? Where have you reached the farthest position? What is the depth and width of the position of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division? Where exactly is the enemy's artillery position? Please hurry up and tell us! Troops  We need to take action immediately. Listen to the movement in the south. The gunshots from Tao Dayong's side seem to have become sparse. Time is running out!"

    "The enemy we are facing is the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division. The enemy's northernmost warning position is where I first took a prisoner. It is located about 1,200 meters south of here. It is a squad sentry, but our second  When we approached him for the first time, the other party may have discovered that the sentry was missing, and had already retreated southward in a panic. The bastards ran fast enough, and we followed them all the way, and even after chasing them for 2 kilometers, we didn't catch them! "" Look!

    Xue Juru, commander of the armored regiment's reconnaissance company, wiped his sweat and used red and blue pencils to mark on his combat map the location where the armored regiment stopped to establish a defense line, followed by the location of the opponent's forward warning position, and then walked along the road to  Drawing all the way to the south, Wang finally nodded heavily and said, Beiyang 1917700, about 3 and a half kilometers away from our position.

    "Captain, this is the right-wing position of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division. It is no more than 3.5 kilometers away from us. About 800 meters to the west of the road, it is at least the position of a Ukrainian infantry regiment. Although the trenches and fortifications are not strong,  It cannot be compared with their first trench-style fortification position in the north, but it is definitely not a temporary position that was dug last night. It is estimated that it has been built for at least ten days or even half a month. The opponent's security is very strict, within 200 meters of the position.  The constant stream of patrols on the forest road is like a parade!¡±

    Lu Huanyan lowered his head and looked at the position of the opponent's infantry regiment marked by Xue Juru. He thought for a moment and asked, "Did the reconnaissance company turn east here and run to the Kharkov River? From the main road to Kharkov  How deep is the river?"

    "Captain, to the west is the reconnaissance area of ??the 1st Armored Company commanded by Battalion Commander Tao. From this position, we go east, and they continue to go west and sneak into the south on the west side of the road, heading east from the road to the position of the opponent's infantry regiment.  About 800 meters further east, the forest was deep and dense with trees, and there was no road at all. My company and I almost cut a path through the bushes and got through. We almost alerted the Ukrainian patrols several times.  Although the flanking positions were not as tightly guarded as the positions facing the road, the number of troops was not small. We traveled nearly 3 kilometers before arriving at the Kharkov River."

    Xue Juru took the kettle from the serviceman beside him and drank a few more sips. He wiped his mouth and marked the three-kilometer-deep section on the map from the edge of the opponent's position on the east side of the road to the Kharkov River.  the opponent's position,

    "Captain, in order to gain time, I placed the 3rd platoon of the reconnaissance company in the western section of the three-kilometer depth. This platoon was responsible for the peripheral reconnaissance of the Ukrainian position of nearly 1,500 meters. The opponent's troop deployment and firepower points were basically marked out.  , the 2nd Reconnaissance Platoon was responsible for the approach reconnaissance of the three-kilometer eastern section. The principle was not to alert the enemy. I personally led the 1st Platoon to the riverside and followed the shrubs along the river bank to the south. The Kharkov Riverbank was towering and the water flowed through it.  Urgent, the Ukrainians were much more lax on their defenses to the east. Taking advantage of the concealment of the river bank, I led the 1st platoon to the south for 3 kilometers and discovered the enemy's artillery position! "

    Although Xue Juru said it very lightly, after an hour and a half, his reconnaissance company went back and forth in the forest and bushes for nearly 20 kilometers without being discovered by the enemy or falling behind. This shows that Lu Huanyan's armored regiment has  The basic tactical literacy of the reconnaissance company is quite outstanding.

    "Discovered the artillery position of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division? Is it a regiment's position? How many guns are there?! What models are they?! Good boy, you and your company have made a great contribution!"  Chang Lu Huanyan's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly

    "Hey, Commander, if we don't find the artillery position, my company and I will be in vain. We have traveled nearly 20 kilometers in and out in 90 minutes. There is no road in this forest, and we still have to hide.  As long as we don¡¯t alert the enemy, if we can even make such a trip and come back intact, we must be considered a meritorious service, right?¡± Xue Juru, the commander of the reconnaissance company, couldn¡¯t help shouting.

    "Stop talking nonsense, I haven't asked why your company didn't reinforce Tao Dayong's company nearby. Don't say that you didn't hear the gunfire from the west! Hurry up and tell me, the opponent's artillery positionCondition!  "The group leader Lu Huanyan looked unmoved and urged Xue Juru to continue speaking quickly.

    "Hey, regiment leader, it's not like you don't know about Lao Tao. The main force of the regiment is just over 3 kilometers away from him. I don't think he would welcome my reconnaissance company to take away his credit. Besides,  "If the enemy comes out as a regiment, how can our two companies hold on without retreating? The opponent has the firepower of an artillery regiment behind them. If they really want to open fire, we can't hold it back," Xue Juru muttered in a low voice.  Pointing to the location marked on the map,

    "What we found was the location of the artillery regiment of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division. 200 meters away along the river, there were 12 German-made Krupp 105mm howitzers. Those things really make me jealous! Commander, what if we  If we can seize the artillery of the opponent's artillery regiment, it will be a big deal! Now our regiment only has 6 75mm field guns, and the firepower is far inferior to that of the 105mm howitzer!" Xue Juru said with a wink.

    "The 12 Krupp 105mm howitzers are the medium-sized artillery battalion under the jurisdiction of the opponent's artillery regiment. They have 4 guns as a company. What's the use of being greedy? Where are the other artillery positions of the Ukrainian artillery regiment?" Lu Huanyan frowned.  Locked and asked

    "To the east of the opponent's medium-sized artillery battalion, there are three German-made Krupp 75mm field artillery battalions. Don't tell me, commander, the German Krupp 75mm field artillery looks like our 38-type field artillery.  Like twin brothers, each of the opponent's three 75mm field artillery battalions has 12 guns. The three 75mm artillery battalions are in the east and guard the 105mm medium artillery battalion in the middle. The Ukrainian cannons are also military trucks.  It's towed, and it looks like its maneuverability is no worse than ours."
