    Of course, the director behind this Ukrainian tragedy of fratricide is the commander of the attacking Allied forces, Colonel Lu Huanyan, commander of the Chinese Armored Regiment. The matter is not over yet. Lu Huanyan¡¯s regimental artillery company is located at  Under the roadbed on the west side of the forest road, and a car access road for transferring positions has been repaired on the west side of the roadbed. With the number of artillery far inferior to that of the opponent, the artillery of the armored regiment must be mentally prepared to hit and run. Of course,  , it is still unknown whether the mobile detachment of a company and a Japanese infantry squadron led by Xue Juru can occupy and capture the opponent's artillery position.  //Welcome to//",

    Lu Huanyan would not let the opponent's artillery positions bombard him indiscriminately just because he wanted to capture the opponent's artillery. A group of 4o dh4 fighter-bombers from the Allied Air Force had already departed from the forward field airport in Belgorod.  , it will be able to reach the sky above the Kharkov River in 15 minutes. As for whether it can accurately bomb and hit the target, it is still unknown. Lu Huanyan is mentally prepared to attack the Ukrainians only through ground fire attack!

    Due to terrain restrictions, after leaving the road for 200 meters, it began to enter increasingly dense bushes and wetlands. This made it impossible for the armored regiment's wheeled armored combat vehicles to rush into the Ukrainian defense line hidden 800 meters away on the east side of the road.  If we only relied on the strength of the vehicle-mounted infantry who dismounted to fight, we would obviously be in a tough fight even when the enemy was outnumbered. Lu Huanyan dispersed the main force of the regiment and hid it on the west side of the road. While deploying artillery positions, he only sent the 1st Armored Corps.  The 3rd company of the battalion launched an attack. Tao Dayong, commander of the 1st Armored Battalion, who had returned with the prisoners on more than 100 captured Don hippos, personally directed the "" to watch.

    Through interrogating the prisoners, the layout of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division's position is basically clear. The opponent's 1st Infantry Regiment is responsible for defending the right-wing position in the northwest. The width of the position is about 15 kilometers, and the position of each battalion is about 5oo meters.  width, while the 2nd Ukrainian Infantry Regiment is on the 2-kilometer defense line in the middle, the 3rd Infantry Regiment is in the area bordering the 2nd Infantry Division in the southeast, and the frontal width of Milevsky's Ukrainian 1st Infantry Division reaches  It is as much as 5 kilometers long, with a depth of 2500 to 3000 meters. The division headquarters is in the core area in front of the artillery regiment's position.  Beiyang 1917702

    Since the terrain is not suitable for the insertion and deployment of armored units, this makes the strategy before Lu Huanyan somewhat difficult. According to his original intention, if he does not care about the life and death of the 18th Infantry Regiment of Ezaki Masako behind him, Lu Huanyan will bring  The preferred strategy for my regiment is to break through to the south along the forest road and the west side. On the one hand, it can disrupt the enemy's deployment, and on the other hand, it can penetrate into the northeastern suburbs of Kharkov and the Volga advancing in the middle.  The 13th Federal Infantry Division merged and severed the connection between the 1st and 2nd Ukrainian Infantry Divisions and the Kharkov garrison!

    Of course Lu Huanyan could understand why the former enemy headquarters in Belgorod did not order him to continue advancing, but asked to wait for the 18th Infantry Regiment to wait for support from the Allied Air Force. Even at this moment, Lu Huanyan could guess that when  Now that the main force of the two Ukrainian infantry divisions has been transferred and gathered in the forest beside the Kharkov River, the Japanese 243rd Infantry Brigade is probably already on its way to support them.

    With only the 18th Infantry Regiment of Masato Eizaki and his 2 battalions of 6,000 armored troops, it would be difficult for Utsunomiya Taro and Hata Shunroku to defeat the 2,500 main force of the Ukrainian National Army equipped with 2 artillery regiments.  The idea is not that big. On the other hand, if the two main divisions of the Ukrainian National Army are a piece of fat, how can the 23rd Infantry Brigade led by Major General Muto Nobuyoshi give up the opportunity to participate in this feast?

    Considering that the 18th Infantry Regiment of Masago Eizaki would not be able to sustain itself if faced with the siege of the two main Ukrainian divisions alone, Lu Huanyan gave up the strategy of driving straight in and ignoring the enemy's main force, and instead planned to directly use the walnut-breaking tactic.  , first demoralize the enemy, and then look for opportunities to defeat the enemy. Of course, if Xue Juru's mobile troops can sneak into the opponent's artillery position and start a successful attack, he will lead the main force of the regiment to attack across the board. Even if he dismounts to fight, he will have the confidence to use  With less than 2 battalions of troops, we can defeat the main force of at least one of the opponent's regiments. If we can defeat two Ukrainian regiments, I believe that the opponent will definitely withdraw if they can't hold on. When the time comes to pursue them, they will be chasing the opponent's 2nd Infantry Division.  It would be best for him to disrupt his position!

    In fact, when Lu Huanyan ordered Tao Dayong to lead the 3rd Company of the 1st Armored Battalion to launch an exploratory attack, and at the same time that the artillery positions under the roadbed on the west side of the road were completed, the 4 companies of the 3rd Armored Battalion had quietly moved along the west side of the road.  To the south, Tao Dayong's attack by the 3rd Company of the 1st Armored Battalion also created conditions for our troops to deploy quickly and quickly while taking advantage of the fierce battle.  As soon as the gunfire rang out, the Ukrainians couldn't care less about how many armored vehicles and Allied forces were approaching on the forest road 800 to one kilometer away. Most of their eyes were attracted by Tao Dayong's fierce offensive.

    It was originally used to hide one's own assembly position but was not cleared.The dense forest shrubs and big trees have now become important participants in the hide-and-seek jungle battles of both sides. Lu Huanyan's armored regiment has completed its layout along the west side of the forest road, and the entire regiment is repairing temporary trenches and bunkers under the roadbed.  Although the generals of the Chinese participating army were instilled with the concept of offensive and proactive attack, the instinct that all soldiers first developed when they dug earth and built embankments on both sides of the Yongding River for water conservancy projects was that once the troops stopped to prepare for battle, all troops first  It is necessary to dig your own bunker and repair the fortifications at once.

    The so-called plan for repairing fortifications in advance has penetrated into the bones of every soldier participating in the war and has become an instinct. Of course, at this time, except for the battalion and company commanders, most soldiers only know that the enemy in front of them is a main division of the Ukrainian National Army.  Our regiment, together with the 18th Japanese Infantry Regiment catching up from behind, will eat up the opponent's division!  As for the news that there was a 2nd Ukrainian Infantry Division in the south, Lu Huanyan deliberately blocked it.

    "Commander, commander! The Ukrainian cannons sent one of their own battalions to the west! The fighting was really enjoyable! Commander, how could you guess that the other party would fire at your position!" Lying next to Lu Huanyan  Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Xuewu of the regiment saw the scene of Ukrainians killing each other through the telescope, and couldn't help but jump for joy with other staff around him.
