Soon, the infantry company of the coalition forces in the telescope disappeared into the jungle with the prisoners, and the ten wheeled armored combat vehicles also retreated to the road 800 meters away. The 1st Ukrainian Infantry Regiment in the telescope 15 kilometers away Commander Kalinichenko couldn't see clearly how many armored troops of the Allied Powers were coming near the forest road. When the one that attacked and retreated just now, it was obvious that it was an armored company with 10 tanks, and it was actually in his own regiment. Coming and going as they pleased right before their eyes, this obviously made the regiment commander Kalinichenko and his chief of staff feel very aggrieved, not to mention that the 3rd Company of the 3rd Infantry Battalion almost collapsed and was arrested. More than 2o prisoners. [guanm]",
The 3rd Battalion Commander led the remaining men of the 2nd Company and the 1st Company back to the position. He could not even express his grief at being beaten to a bloody head and with corpses strewn on the ground, as well as the joy of repelling the enemy and surviving to regain the position. At this time, the belated rumble of artillery sounded from the artillery position of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division 3 kilometers away in the southeast.
The soldiers of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division cheered the first moment they heard the power of their own artillery fire. Although it was late, it was better than nothing, right? Everyone knows that the artillerymen in the artillery regiment claim to be the king of war. They usually don't pay attention to the infantry of the Ukrainian National Army carrying Mauser 98 rifles. These artillerymen come with trucks towing cannons to transport personnel and ammunition. Yes, you don¡¯t have to be on the front line when fighting a war, so it¡¯s normal to look down on infantrymen who are guerrillas. ""look
However, at the second moment when our own artillery fire sounded, the regiment commander Kalinichenko and the regiment chief of staff in the shelter of the 1st Infantry Regiment looked at each other, an idea came to their minds, and they were suddenly petrified. Damn, why is the roaring sound of this cannon so close? It's broken! broken! The regiment chief of staff Yalmash slapped his thigh, turned to the staff officers who were still waving their military hats and cheering in front of the lookout and shouted, "Hurry up and inform the division headquarters, no it's too late, call the artillery regiment directly and stop shooting. ! Stop shooting at our 3rd Battalion position!" Beiyang 1917702
The regiment leader Kalinichenko jumped on his feet and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Order the entire 3rd Battalion to evacuate the position! Evacuate the position! The target of the artillery regiment's bombardment now is the 3rd Battalion position occupied by the enemy! They don't know that we 2 The 3rd Battalion¡¯s position was recaptured minutes ago! It¡¯s over now!¡±
Everything was too late. The artillery regiment of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division was division commander Milevsky¡¯s sharpest weapon besides the 1st Infantry Regiment and the Division¡¯s Reconnaissance Cavalry Battalion. Due to the unremitting efforts of the engineer battalion for nearly 2 hours, the 1st Infantry Division A 15o-meter-long pontoon bridge has been erected on the river bank behind the 1st Division artillery position. At the moment when the armored company of the Allied Powers attacked the position of the 1st Infantry Regiment, the entire artillery regiment was moving its position as planned, preparing to pass. The pontoon removed the artillery to the forest on the other side of the river, so that it could survive to a greater extent and function in the face of possible air attacks by the coalition forces.
The information also reported to the division headquarters by Kalinichenko was that an armored company of the Allied Forces was attacking our division. The enemy's armored vehicles had sharp firepower and requested artillery support from the division headquarters. Therefore, Milevsky ordered 12 troops from the 3rd Artillery Battalion. Mende's 75mm Krupp field artillery re-established its position on the left bank of the Kharkov River, while the remaining two 75mm artillery battalions and one 1o5mm medium artillery battalion of the artillery regiment seized the time to continue to move according to the original plan, preparing to rely on manpower to push Cross the river with artillery to the other side of Kharkov to hide and set up artillery positions.
It took time for the artillery of this era to enter the marching state and return to the firing state. The artillery regiment of the 1st Infantry Division of the Ukrainian National Army was well-trained and could rearrange the artillery that had been folded up and ready to be pushed across the river. So based on the previously measured shooting data in the position area of ??our own troops, the 12 75mm field guns of the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division Artillery were unleashed on the remaining 3rd Battalion of the Infantry who had just resumed their positions. On the heads of the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd companies.
The parameters of the German 1912 75mm field gun equipped by the Ukrainian National Army Infantry Division Artillery Regiment are as follows:
75mm field gun
Year of production or service
Caliber:75mm
Barrel length: 27 times the caliber
High and low shooting range: 12 degrees ~ +185 degrees
Horizontal shooting range: 7 degrees
Marushige
The beginning of medicine
Weight:1og
Maximum range: 76oom
The cost of the artillery unit's mistake was huge. The attack of an armored company of the Allied Powers only defeated the 3rd infantry company. However, an artillery battalion of our own artillery battalion fired three rapid rounds, and the 3675mm caliber field artillery weighing 65kg rained down. The same thing fell on the position of the 3rd Battalion of Ukrainian Infantry, blasting the two Ukrainian infantry companies who had not recovered from the attack. The blood and flesh were flying everywhere, and the casualties were at least more than two-thirds!
The reason is that most of the shelling roaring from behind our position hit the back side of the trench. The trenches in Ukraine are high in front and short in the back.The number of wooden boards used to reinforce the earthen walls on both sides of the trench was not very dense. It had been damaged a lot after being attacked by heavy machine gun fire from the coalition forces. Now it was severely beaten by our own artillery battalion from behind, causing a lot of damage. The casualties were much greater than when the enemy bombarded them from the front, and they were almost unable to hide. This made the regiment commander Kalinichenko and chief of staff Yarmash in the shelter of the rear regiment command post look miserable!
By the time the Ukrainian artillery position received notification from the front to stop firing, the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Infantry Regiment had almost ceased to exist, and there were casualties on the adjacent 1st and 2nd Battalion positions. This was also because the Ukrainian artillery battalion had previously maneuvered After passing the position, resuming the position is too hasty.
The regiment commander Kalinichenko angrily called the division headquarters to complain, shouting that he would shoot the commander of the 3rd artillery battalion who fired at his own people indiscriminately. At the same time, he directly ordered the person in charge of his regiment headquarters and the artillery The regimental liaison and communications staff officer was dragged out and shot! The reason is that the artillery shooting targets were not updated in time, causing our own artillery fire and causing serious casualties. This kind of negligence is unforgivable! Beiyang 1917702
In fact, Kalinichenko and his chief of staff had to make an explanation for the loss of the 3rd Battalion, and the unlucky communications staff officer became the scapegoat. As for the commander of the 3rd Artillery Battalion, except for the division commander Milevs Apart from the bloody scolding, he received no other punishment. For the Ukrainian artillery force, being able to accurately attack a 35oo target directly visible from outside with a 75mm field gun is already a quite remarkable achievement. The frontier is to blame. The observer did not notify the artillery battalion to correct the attack target immediately.
