    "Commander! You shouldn't have listened to that guy Xue Juru's nonsense in the first place. He didn't even understand the enemy's plan to build a bridge to retreat, so he insisted on inciting our regiment to divide its troops to attack some artillery that was interspersed with other people's artillery regiments.  He also didn't think about it. Since the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division was the main force of the national army, how could the artillery positions be unprepared?

    Commander, you saw the artillery battalion's shelling just now. The artillery fire was fast and accurate. Three rounds of shelling destroyed a battalion's position!  Of course it's their own. Let me tell you, let Xue Juru and the others hide and wait, and let the air force take care of the opponent's artillery positions and pontoons first!  "1. Battalion Commander Tao Dayong was originally the commander of the main battalion of the entire regiment. In the previous battle, he defeated a Ukrainian cavalry battalion with one company and captured many prisoners. Now when he spoke in front of the regiment commander, his confidence was obviously higher than before.  One chip. [guanm]",

    "Captain Tao, we all know that you led the 1st Battalion to fight well, but Xue Juru led the 2nd Company of your 1st Battalion and the Japanese Fujita Squadron to go around and clean up the opponent's artillery position. This was the regimental commander's idea. You can overthrow it if you want.  Overthrow? Isn't this a bit ignorant? How can you, the battalion commander, take back the tactics and battle plans that our regiment commander has formulated?" Zhang Xuewu, the regimental commander, said something unhappily.

    Tao Dayong is the fastest-promoted battalion commander in the entire regiment. He was among the first among company commanders to be promoted to battalion auxiliary, and he was also the first among the battalion affiliates to be promoted to battalion commander. Today he led the 1st Battalion and 1st Company to replace the entire regiment.  It got off to a good start. It only used one company to defeat a main Ukrainian cavalry battalion. It actually captured hundreds of Don hippos and dozens of prisoners. Just now, it led another company of the 1st Battalion to attack the Ukrainians.  In the position, not only defeated the opponent's entire company, but also captured more than 20 prisoners and escaped unscathed.  ""See Beiyang1917703

    This Tao Dayong and his 1st Battalion made great achievements one after another, which made the other regimental, battalion and company cadres of the 1st Armored Regiment envious with a hint of jealousy.  If you are not a lawful master, if you keep making achievements and being arrogant, one day you will be replaced by me as a regimental affiliate, and then I will have to beat you!

    "Regiment attachment, each company of my 1st Armored Battalion is a good young man, and I personally selected the soldiers one by one. Now the 1st and 3rd companies have won the battle. If Xue Juru takes my 2  The company was ruined, but I will never agree to it. The regiment commander decided to attack the opponent's artillery positions in a detour before. Now a DH4 fighter-bomber group of the Allied Air Force is just a word away, and the opponent has set up a bridge. I think Xue Juru will detour the troops.  It is definitely risky to attack the opponent's artillery position at this time!

    It is obviously impossible to make a sneak attack to capture other people's artillery when they are prepared, unless our frontal attack can put huge pressure on the defense line of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division, making them unable to spare their troops to turn back to the opponent Xue Juruna  We have a strength of 350 people, otherwise the opponent only needs to send 2 battalions back, and our outflanking troops will be in trouble!

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I am not trying to make others ambitious. Our troops and firepower are outnumbered. This is a matter of course!  It will take more than an hour for the 18th Infantry Regiment to arrive, and the 23rd Infantry Brigade of Major General Nobuyoshi Muto is even less likely to arrive!  Let me tell you, if Xue Juru's troops are withdrawn, we will use the aviation force to attack the opponent's pontoon bridge and artillery positions. If our regiment attacks from the front, we will definitely win this battle!  "

    1 Battalion Commander Tao Dayong said so plausibly, Zhang Xuewu's face turned pale and white, and he wanted to refute, but everything Tao Dayong said made sense. Li Shang, who was nearby, obviously disdained Zhang Xuewu's little plan to suppress Tao Dayong, and stood aside with his arms folded.  He didn't say anything but just sneered. The regiment leader Lu Huanyan was a little undecided for a moment. The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly. The Ukrainians built a pontoon bridge to retreat across the river. There was no trace of this situation before. Even when interrogating the prisoners of the other party's cavalry reconnaissance battalion, this situation was not found.  The prisoners captured by Tao Dayong just now after breaking through the opponent's position were not aware of the situation.

    Originally, if the enemy's division was not planning to run away, then after launching a frontal offensive to divert the opponent's attention, the Xue Juru Rangers that detoured from the rear would have had the opportunity to sneak attack and seize the opponent's artillery position. The two groups would outflank the enemy's artillery positions, flanking them in front and behind, and lose the artillery fire.  If the supporting Ukrainian troops see the dark fleet of the coalition air force overhead again, it is possible that the entire division will collapse by then.

    As long as the opponent retreats south at that time, Xue Juru will really take down the enemy's artillery. And if the opponent does not abandon the heavy cannon, it is basically impossible to take it back. Even if it is really taken back, the truck will drag it.  The German artillery had to return to the main road before it could be withdrawn, and the main road was the area that it controlled frontally, so how could the other side succeed?

    "Report to the head of the regiment! A call came from the Xue Juru Rangers. They have penetrated into the river bank jungle 800 meters away from the north of the opponent's artillery position. It is observed that the Ukrainians have set up a pontoon bridge behind the artillery position. At this time, there is already a battalion.  The cannon was pushed across the river manually, leaving 2 artillerymen.While preparing to cross the river, Captain Xue suggested that whether the enemy wanted to run away or just retreated the artillery to rearrange their positions on the other side, wait until all the opponent's artillery crossed the river, and then let the aviation team blow up the bridge, then the opponent's artillery would  The main force has been separated on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. When the time comes, he will ensure that our regiment will capture the cannon of an artillery regiment!  "

    A confidential staff officer at the regiment headquarters hurriedly sent a reply from Xue Juru, which made all the armored regiment commanders present brighten their eyes. Lu Huanyan felt reassured after hearing this, and smiled and said to everyone,

    "This Xue Juru is really smart. I think this is what we should do. Since the Ukrainians have withdrawn their artillery in advance, whether they want to run away or prepare to move the artillery position, it is an opportunity for us to pass on my message  The order was to send a message to the air commander of the dh4 fighter-bomber group of the coalition air force, asking them to hold off on entering the designated area and wait for the enemy's artillery to cross the river along the bridge before conducting air raids and attacks. However, do not bomb the opponent's artillery positions and pinch the bridge first.  Break, leave the cannon to me!"

    Tao Dayong and Li Shang glanced at each other without saying anything. They both said in their hearts that they were afraid that Xue Juru would make a meritorious service this time. Zhang Xuewu, who was nearby, still didn¡¯t understand and said anxiously,

    "Captain, if the enemy's artillery crosses the river, how can Xue Juru's Rangers sneak attack and capture their artillery? The team led by this guy is still on this side of the Kharkov River, not to mention that the bridge was also blocked at that time.  Our air force was destroyed by air strikes!"
