    ,

    This guy was holding an unclear schematic diagram of the position of the 2nd Infantry Division in Kharkiv. He squatted on the ground and looked at it with a telescope for a long time. He turned his head and stammered, "Regiment Commander, Chief of Staff, I have never been an artillery observer."  , the view is blocked by bushes and jungles, it is not very clear from here. Is the distance from here to the armored vehicle on the opponent's position 1800 meters or 2000 meters? "

    The specific parameters of the German-made 191 infantry light mortar originally equipped by the Ukrainian National Army are as follows:

    ? 76ccbsp; Year of production or service: 1914

    Caliber

    Barrel length: 52 times the caliber Beiyang 1917705

    Marushige

    Weight:1o1kg

    Maximum range: 1ooom

    Since the Ukrainians are equipped with the 1914 model of the 76cm mortar, the maximum range is only 1,000 meters, so the mortar shooter named Bogush has not been trained at all on how to judge targets and specific targets 1,000 meters away.  As for the orientation, the coalition armored vehicle was now 1800 meters away. This guy was a little unsure. In addition, the 1/50,000 contour map in his hand contained a large area of ??forest, with a forest road in the middle.  It was very rough, and Bogush felt a little unsure and guilty.  ¡¾Absolute Power¡¿""See

    Here, the regiment leader Kravitz stepped forward and kicked Bogush on the butt, and cursed, "This is so urgent. You, a mortar shooter, can't see the enemy clearly and cannot judge the distance? I'm so delicious."  What's the point of feeding you useless artillerymen! Get up quickly and point out the targets for the artillery battalion, or I'll skin you alive!"

    Bogush sat down on the ground in grievance and cried out, "Your Excellency, regimental commander, our training time is short and we lack opportunities for practice. Besides, the 1914 old 76cm mortar that the Germans assigned us has a maximum range of  It's only 1,000 meters. I can accurately calculate the target distance within 1,000 meters. Now the enemy is at least 1,600 meters to 2,000 meters away. The map in my hand is not very accurate. If it's really wrong, don't blame me, otherwise  We¡¯d better wait for the artillery battalion to send observers over!¡±

    Bogush was an intellectual in Ukraine before he joined the National Army. He was originally selected to be a mortarman because he was literate and knew how to calculate directions in triangular geometry. This guy's seriousness as an intellectual really dared to give up his job.  When Commander Kravitz saw this, he was so angry that he even stepped forward to kick the person. Husev, the chief of staff of the regiment here, hurriedly grabbed his regiment leader, turned to the mortar operator who was still sitting on the ground and said,

    "Stop talking nonsense. The brothers in the 2nd and 3rd Battalions in front are bleeding every minute. Hurry up and follow the method taught by the German instructors to determine the target position and report it to the artillery battalion on the phone. If you don't fire to suppress the opponent's armored vehicles and heavy machine guns,  , our regiment is completely ruined! I don¡¯t blame you for the inaccuracy, hurry up and indicate the target to the artillery battalion!¡±

    The Ukrainian mortarman Bogush climbed up from the ground without saying a word, patted the dust on his butt, picked up the binoculars and looked at the position of the armored vehicle of the Allied Powers on the opposite side again, and then pointed at the telephone receiver held by the deputy shooter,  A series of bombardment target parameters and orientations were reported.

    After more than ten seconds, 3 kilometers away in the southeast, the roar of 24 75mm Krupp field guns from the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 2nd Ukrainian Infantry Division Artillery Regiment finally rumbled, and groups of guns roared.  It came from the rear, passed over the heads of Kravitz's regiment and the 1st Battalion, and went in front of the positions of the 2nd and 3rd Infantry Battalions to the north.

    July 3o, 1918, 11:35, Kharkiv Riverside Forest Battlefield, fifteen kilometers northeast of Kharkiv

    Li Shang, commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Armored Regiment of the Allied Powers, fought with high spirits. He used the strength of the 4 companies of the 3rd Armored Battalion to the extreme. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd Armored Companies successively attacked 25oo  The positions of the three infantry regiments of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division on the 100-meter-wide position launched an attack. Although the Chinese fd17ii wheeled armored fighting vehicle, as a sharp weapon for charging into the battlefield, was limited by the terrain of the forest wetlands and shrubbery on the banks of the Kharkiv River, and  The vehicle-borne infantry, which cannot be accompanied by dismounted combat vehicles, rush to the Ukrainian positions.

    However, the offensive launched by 3 companies with a total of 30 wheeled armored fighting vehicles against the positions of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division was still very effective. The snipers of each company set up shooting positions within 50 meters to the east of the forest road, targeting Ukraine 700 to 800 meters away.  For the machine gunners and commanders on the position, at this distance, in addition to the opponent's mgo8 heavy machine gun and mortars, the German Mauser 98 rifle equipped by the Ukrainians almost hit Ufa.

    The m1 Garand semi-automatic sniper rifle equipped with a 4x optical sight can still effectively and accurately kill the opponent at this distance. Although it cannot achieve a headshot with the gun, the hit rate is at least 70%, plus  The endurance and firepower density of the semi-automatic sniper rifle's 8-chamber continuous shooting still make it a feasible special tactic to use snipers to suppress counterattacks on the opponent's position. As MGO8 heavy machine gun shooters and battalion and company commanders,  Fallen by Allied sniperWhen fired, the morale of the Ukrainian national army on the defensive side was more affected and deterred than the M1 Browning large-caliber heavy machine gun equipped on the coalition's wheeled armored tanks.

    The positions of the three regiments of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division defending one side. The position of the 3rd Infantry Regiment in the south is about 1200 meters wide. Every 400 meters is a section defended by an infantry battalion. The position of the 2nd Infantry Regiment in the middle is about 1200 meters wide.  1000 meters. Since the back of the 2nd Infantry Regiment leads directly to the division headquarters and rear artillery positions, medicine depots, and baggage warehouses along the paths and access roads, the defensive width of the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division is much narrower, and the thickness of the deep positions  It is much thicker, and the northernmost one is the position of the main 1st regiment of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division. The front width is more than 2200 meters, and almost one battalion has to defend a 1 kilometer position.

    Major Li Shang, commander of the 3rd Armored Battalion, had his most glorious day. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Armored Companies he used to attack all broke through and occupied a section of the first-line positions of the three regiments of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division.  , each company defeated the enemy and caused casualties to at least 1 to 2 companies. However, under the strong fire support and cover, the three companies responsible for the attack suffered surprisingly low casualties.

    When a regiment of the 2nd Ukrainian Infantry Division arrived in the south for reinforcements, Li Shang did not directly order the three companies to withdraw from the occupied front-line positions of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division. Instead, he ordered the 3rd and 2nd companies to withdraw from the already occupied front-line positions.  The occupied opponent's position rolled forward to the south. At the same time, the two platoons of the southernmost 1st company turned around and rushed to the south to block the attack of the infantry regiment of the opponent's 2nd Infantry Division.
