    Here, Tao Dayong, who boarded a wheeled armored fighting vehicle and retreated, quickly returned to the position with the 3rd Company of the 1st Armored Battalion. More than 20 prisoners were tied to the back of an armored fighting vehicle with ropes and stumbled along the way.  Come here, they are all slumped on the ground with pale faces, and their military uniforms have been torn by bushes and are stained with blood.

    "Captain, we destroyed about 2 platoons of the opponent, and brought back twenty-one of the prisoners. The remaining dozen wounded were left where they were. In this battle, we lost two soldiers and wounded three.  The wounded and sacrificed people were all brought back, and the opponent directly set up the MGO8 heavy machine gun in the trench to fire. The sharp knife squad charged too hard and suffered losses. You can criticize me!" Tao Dayong's face was a little solemn, and he was carrying the third gun before.  In the battle between the 1st company and the opposing cavalry battalion, the combined casualties of his two companies exceeded that of a squadron. Although the combined number of prisoners exceeded that of a platoon and more were killed, this guy was still a little depressed!  ",

    "Want a war? Learn a lesson. You can't turn in the trenches. But when you attack, don't you throw grenades across the trenches and wait for them to explode before showing up? Every soldier in our armored regiment is an elite. Love soldiers like sons. Isn't that just saying that?  Yes, commander, use your brain more. It's not enough to charge hard and hit hard. When you should hit smartly, you have to hit smartly. Look, if we had hesitated to retreat, the opponent's cannon just hit you on the head.  Unfortunately, you don't even know how many people can be withdrawn!" "Look!

    The leader of the regiment, Lu Huanyan, was not merciful. He gave Tao Dayong a good meal first, and then said comfortingly, "This battle was quite good. I asked the following to hand over the prisoners to the baggage team, the wounded to the health team, and the armor 1  The battalion is transferred to the regiment reserve. You should stay with me first. It¡¯s time to see the reaction of the Ukrainians! There was only one artillery battalion firing just now. Could it be that the main force of the opponent¡¯s artillery regiment has been transferred in advance? " Beiyang 1917702

    Tao Dayong agreed upon hearing this, and he was not convinced at all. However, if his company had not underestimated the enemy just now and threw grenades to clear the obstacles before attacking in the trench, the opponent's mgo8 would not have swept away his sharp knife squad so suddenly.  Five soldiers were defeated. Damn it, I must get it back with the Ukrainians!

    "Reporting to the regimental commander, the artillery battery's firing parameters have been calibrated. They said they are confident that they can knock out at least six of the opponent's cannons with three salvos. Can you please give an order?!" A combat staff officer put down the phone in his hand and reported.

    "No hurry, wait a minute, there is no news about Xue Juru's Rangers? Keep calling! This kid! Where is he dead! It's delayed me to knock out the opponent's artillery position, let's see how I deal with you!" The regiment leader Lu Huanyan waved his hand.  road.

    A communications staff officer here hurried over from a temporary confidential tent behind a bush 20 meters away, "Report to the regimental commander, there is a call from the former enemy headquarters, asking us to fight with caution. Major General Muto Nobuyoshi has personally led the 23rd Infantry Brigade.  On the way to us, we are expected to arrive in 3 hours. During this time, if we can hold off the enemy, we will win. We must not rush in!"

    Before the guy finished speaking, another staff officer rushed over with a telegram he had just received to report,

    "Reporting to the leader of the regiment, there was a call from the 18th Infantry Regiment of Masago Eizaki. According to the order of the former enemy headquarters, his 18th Infantry Regiment will join the attack on the Ukrainian troops. However, due to the 18th Infantry Regiment's journey all morning  , he is still eating and resting at the moment, and it is estimated that it will take another hour and a half for him to arrive and meet us!¡±

    "Reporting to the commander! I have just received a telegram from the DH4 Fighter-Bomber Group of the 2nd Fighter-Bomber Wing of the Coalition Air Force. They will arrive over us in 10 minutes. Please be prepared to provide guidance and instructions on the bombing target on the ground. In addition, the Hawkeye 2 early warning aircraft reported  "It was discovered that the Ukrainians had built two short bridges on the Kharkov River. The enemy may retreat eastward across the Kharkov River!" The confidential staff officer of the third regiment hurried over with the telegram he had just received!  !

    "Captain, let's quickly notify the DH4 fighter-bomber brigade to fly along the Kharkov River and blow up the opponent's two bridges first?!" 1st Battalion Commander Tao Dayong and 3rd Battalion Commander Li Shang almost said in unison  shouted.

    The regiment leader Lu Huanyan frowned when he heard this. Obviously, the two bridges on the other side were new situations, and the reinforcements from the 23rd Japanese Infantry Brigade would be 3 hours later. The typical distant water cannot quench the near thirst, and Muto  Nobuyoshi is a major general. When he comes to the front line, he must take over the battle command. Unlike now, Masago Eizaki, the colonel, and himself, the colonel, are on an equal footing. There is no one who is commanding the other on both sides. They can only be negotiated.  , and his regiment chief of staff, Ren Dao, is now taking the 2nd Armored Battalion assigned to the 5th Infantry Brigade Headquarters of Kikuchi Shinnosuke, and it is certain that he must obey the command of Major General Kikuchi Shinnosuke, the brigade commander.

    "Captain, why are you hesitating? The enemy will naturally run away after building a bridge. If we don't blow up the bridge for him, won't our efforts be in vain if the enemy withdraws?" Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Xuewu, attached to the regiment, was also worried at the side.Tao.

    July 30, 1918, 11:10, the position of the 1st Chinese Armored ** Regiment in the forest along the Kharkiv River, fifteen kilometers northeast of Kharkiv

    "Captain, what are you still hesitating about? The enemy has built two bridges in such a short time, so he must be planning to retreat. If he doesn't blow up the bridge, will he watch the opponent escape across the Kharkov River? The opponent's artillery is already  Take advantage and use artillery fire to block the river bank. Even if we want to chase, we have the energy!" Li Shang, commander of the 3rd Armored Battalion, shouted anxiously.

    Zhang Xuewu, commander of the regiment, and Tao Dayong, commander of the 1st Armored Battalion, obviously also supported Li Shang's suggestion. Everyone didn't understand why the regiment leader was still hesitating. Lu Huanyan, the commander of the armored regiment, pondered for a moment and explained,

    "Xue Juru, with companies and squadrons, is infiltrating along the banks of the Kharkov River, preparing to quietly remove the enemy's artillery positions. If he informs the air force at this moment to blow up the opponent's bridge, he will definitely alert the enemy.  Then our Rangers' clever move of going around to capture the opponent's artillery guns was completely in vain. Moreover, the opponent had the strength of a division. Even if only one regiment was mobilized to counterattack the river bank, Xue Juru's Rangers would only have about 350 infantrymen in total.  It¡¯s too risky to escape intact!¡±

    Tao Dayong, commander of the 1st Battalion here, became anxious upon hearing this. Xue Juru's own regiment's reconnaissance company was left behind by the 18th Infantry Regiment of Yiqi Zhenggang. At this time, he led a roundabout back to the enemy's position to infiltrate near the river bank.  Interspersed with the enemy's artillery was the 2nd Company of the 1st Armored Battalion. If this was surrounded by the enemy's superior force on the river bank, it would really be a retreat. As for the infantry squadron led by Japanese Captain Fujita Uchinosuke,  In the eyes of the battalion and company commanders of the Chinese Armored Regiment, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese infantry squadron holding the 38-meter cover in their hands is probably worse than that of their own platoon!
