    ;

    The 3rd Armored Battalion, under the command of Li Shang, used 4 platoons to block the attack of the opponent's 2 infantry battalions. Of course, the sudden opening fire of the two 75mm Krupp field artillery battalions of the 2nd Ukrainian Infantry Division was alarming.  Fortunately, the battalion commander Li Shang's reaction and determination were very fast. The four armored platoons on the front line did not retreat but advanced. They avoided the opponent's second wave of artillery fire after adjusting the firing parameters, causing the opponent to miss two consecutive waves of artillery fire.  In the empty space.  ¡¾Official¡¿

    The regiment's artillery company commanded by regiment leader Lu Huanyan suddenly attacked the opponent's two artillery battalions with precise firepower. Six Chinese-made 75mm Type 38 field guns fought against 24 German-made 75mm Krupp field guns.  Through constant rapid shifting of positions and precise rapid volleys, regimental commander Lu Huanyan, who graduated from the Artillery Department of Baoding Military Academy, used a Chinese artillery battery to eliminate a 12-gun artillery battalion of the 2nd Ukrainian Infantry Division.  ",

    The key to achieving such a one-sided result was the armored regiment's artillery post-production and precise artillery shooting techniques as well as maneuvering and shifting positions without hesitation. Of course, the fact that the Ukrainian artillery battalion finally ran out of guns was also an important reason.  Even so, during the artillery battle between the two sides, Lu Huanyan's armored troops inevitably suffered casualties. Three armored vehicles were destroyed, and nearly 50 people were killed or injured, including 18 killed and more than 30 lightly or seriously injured, almost a platoon's worth of casualties.  Troops and equipment were depleted.

    Since the armored regiment's baggage team used Dodge military trucks to transport back the armored regiment's reconnaissance company and another squadron of the Aoki brigade, Lu Huanyan had previously decided to leave the Ukrainian infantry in the forest to the catching up of Masako Izaki.  The 18th Japanese Infantry Regiment was further resolved. The 3rd Armored Battalion was exhausted after a fierce battle and suffered many casualties. It was transferred to the reserve team to rest and recuperate. Tao Dayong, the commander of the 1st Armored Battalion, was ordered to go into battle again. After a period of rest and recovery, the command has resumed.  The 3rd and 4th companies of the 1st Battalion, which had spent a lot of energy and physical strength, advanced southward along the road!

    This is also the moment when the 2nd Ukrainian Infantry Division observed from its own position that the armored troops, with the support of artillery, had eaten up 2 battalions of the 1st Infantry Regiment, and a new force of coalition armored troops rushed south along the road from the rear.  It was only then that the Ukrainians suddenly realized that they were facing far more than just a coalition armored battalion, but probably an elite armored regiment. This also convinced Mihalik, commander of the 2nd Ukrainian Infantry Division, to give up his position and the main road.  The entire division repeatedly covered the determination to move closer to the Kharkov River in the southeast and retreat southward.

    The dh4 fighter-bomber group of the Allied Air Force here turned back to Belgorod to refuel and remount before returning to the battlefield. Lu Huanyan's telegram to the leader of the bomber group hovering in the sky asked the dh4 bomber group to block the Kharkov River.  Blow up the pontoon bridge of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division and intercept the main force of the opponent's ground forces on the left bank of the Kharkov River.

    This is also because a few minutes ago, the Xue Juru detachment, which had swam and lurked to the right bank of the Kharkov River, received an urgent message: the artillery of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division had all crossed the river, and the logistics troops were also forcing the crossing. The opponent was likely to  The entire division is retreating and the air force is required to intercept and cut off the opponent's pontoon bridge!

    Xue Juru was obviously afraid that commanding the air force to blow up the bridge would affect the regiment commander Lu Huanyan's next deployment, so he first reported the changed enemy situation to the regiment headquarters so that the regiment commander Lu Huanyan could make a choice. If he did not send the 1st Ukrainian Infantry  The main force of the division was blocked on the left bank of the Kharkov River, but the infantry company beside Xue Juru didn't have the ability to hand over the artillery regiment's cannon. It was just a matter of luck that the opponent was caught off guard, and the cannon was not captured before.  The main force of the opponent's infantry regiment crossing the river and pressing them up is no joke.

    After receiving the urgent call from Xue Juru, Lu Huanyan of course immediately sent a call to the DH4 fighter-bomber group of the Allied Air Force that had flown overhead, asking the air force to cut off the bridge behind the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division and blockade the Kharkov River.  Any enemy artillery positions that open fire are subject to air strikes and strafing.

    Here, Qiuzi just heard Lu Huanyan say that the Chinese armored regiment suffered a lot of casualties, and the Ukrainians counterattacked fiercely. He was surprised at first, and then a little bit happy. What surprised him was that if the Ukrainians' two main infantry divisions rushed from the forest,  If so, the strength of one of our regiments is only over 3800. It is really impossible to block the opponent's attack of 2 divisions and 6 infantry regiments. The whole division of German weapons in the hands of the Ukrainians is really different from ours in this big forest.  After a long morning's journey, the infantry regiment was panting like a dog. If the two armies met and the brave prevailed, I would be really worried.

    What makes me happy is that the powerful Chinese Lu is so bold that he dares to provoke two Ukrainian infantry divisions with two armored battalions. Is he kicking the iron plate now?  By now you should know that you are not Sun Wukong and Zhuge Liang and a tiger can bite the sky, right?

    I just heard the rumbling of artillery. Apparently the Ukrainian artillery was not wiped out by the previous air raid by the coalition air force, but escaped. The opponent had two divisions with nearly a hundred cannons in total. Even if they were wiped out by the air raid,  Half, the remaining cannons are also 10 times the number of Lu Huanyan's artillery company.Under the mutual bombardment between the two sides, it is a bit surprising that the Chinese Lu Sang and his regiment were not injured.

    "Lu Sang, how many casualties did your troops have? How many troops did the Ukrainians invest? Just now I heard the rumbling of artillery here. It was very fierce! The opponent is an artillery regiment equipped with two German artillery. If the firepower is really used,  It¡¯s not easy to deal with. Do you think it would be safer for us to go north first and then retreat a little bit? Wait until the coalition air force¡¯s air strike smashes the opponent to pieces, and then we go up to clean up the mess.¡± Captain Izaki Masaru of the 18th Infantry Regiment?  Gang is obviously a guy who is more cautious than aggressive. When he said these words, several captains around him, including the wing's attached Takeuchi Bin, were quite disapproving.

    "Well, Your Excellency Colonel, my 1st Armored Battalion suffered casualties of one squad, and the 3rd Armored Battalion suffered casualties of nearly 1 platoon, and lost 3 armored vehicles!" Lu Huanyan's words shocked Izaki Masato and the Japanese generals behind him.  Surprised, Captain Takeuchi Bin of the regiment couldn't help but ask, "Are there two Ukrainian infantry divisions on the opposite side? Why are there so few casualties in your army? When we came from the north, the sound of gunfire was like fried beans.  The explosions kept happening, I thought your army was in a hard fight!"

    "That's right! Lu Sang, this battle lasted for an hour and a half, and your combined casualties are less than one company. How many Ukrainian troops are there on the opposite side? This is really surprising!" United Captain Izaki Masaru  Gang was obviously relieved, thinking that the Chinese must be exaggerating. How could there be two divisions of Ukrainian troops on the opposite side?  There's only one infantry regiment, right?  If I had known earlier, I should have let my 18th Infantry Regiment fight this battle!
