    "What are you afraid of? Your Excellency, Wing Commander, if we fall behind every step of the way, we will fall behind everywhere and never find a chance to turn around. If the two armored battalions named Colonel Lu take down an infantry division of the other party, we will be exhausted.  If we go south to catch up with the 2nd Infantry Division, which has not been weakened much, this deal will not be worth it! We don¡¯t know how much it will cost to catch up and shorten the distance just on this 6-kilometer road!" Captain Takeuchi Bin!  He encouraged his captain.

    "Yes! No more hesitation, Colonel-General. Let my 1st Infantry Battalion take the lead, and Aoki-kun's 2nd Infantry Battalion follow up. The armored troops in the center have no place to use, and it just so happens that our Imperial Army shows its hand! Take advantage of this  The coalition aviation force is covering the sky. We must seize the opportunity to attack. Otherwise, when the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division withdraws, or the coalition aviation force withdraws again, we will have to gnaw a hard nut. Now is a good time to strike while the iron is hot!  " Lieutenant Commander Matsushita Yutaro Matsushita of the 1st Battalion of the 18th Infantry Regiment said anxiously with a red face.  ",

    The captain of the 2nd Infantry Battalion here, Major Jiro Aoki, stood at attention, raised his neck and asked for help from his company commander, "Your Excellency, the captain, since Fujita Squadron of Aoki Battalion has lurked behind enemy lines, now there are coalition aviation  With the help of the team, of course we should attack on the spot. How can we ignore the meat in front of us and run a few kilometers south to chase the unknown 2nd Ukrainian Infantry Division? Such a decision is definitely inappropriate.  , I can¡¯t hesitate any longer, please let me, Team Aoki, take the lead!¡± ¡°Look!

    "Aoki-kun, our Panasonic Battalion is the 1st Infantry Battalion of the Alliance. Besides, my battalion is full of people and the morale is high. Your battalion also leads a Fujita Battalion who doesn't know where it is. Of course, my battalion will take the lead.  "Come on!" Lieutenant Colonel Yutaro Matsushita set out the list of six seniors!

    "Matsushita-senpai, I don't agree with this. Although the Matsushita team is the main team of the alliance, its troops have been exhausted from leading the team along the way. The Aoki team is not full of members. If I want to lead the team, of course I, Sasaki,  Saburo's 3rd Infantry Battalion!" As he spoke, Major Sasaki Jiro, the captain of the 3rd Infantry Battalion, turned around and saluted his commander, saying,

    "Your Excellency, Captain, please send my 3rd Infantry Group to attack. An armored company of the Chinese Army dares to attack the position of a Ukrainian infantry regiment. My 3rd Infantry Group will never be willing to fall behind. Please take this step in front of the enemy."  Leave the regiment's position to my brigade, and I will definitely capture the enemy's position within an hour!"

    Saburo Sasaki is a descendant of a Nagoya businessman, but he has respected the heroic deeds of the shogunate samurai in history since he was a child. Speaking of which, this guy graduated from the 6th University two years younger than Aoki, but he relied on brave fighting and command to achieve the same feat.  As a major captain, he estimated that the Ukrainian infantry regiment in front of him was the unit that suffered the most hits and casualties from Lu Huanyan's Chinese armored regiment in the entire 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division, so he rushed to say that he would take the lead for the regiment to deal with the Ukrainians.  This infantry regiment!

    "Colonel Masago Eizaki, your subordinates are very strong in fighting. As the saying goes, morale cannot be discouraged. Should the 18th Infantry Regiment choose to pursue the 2nd Ukrainian Infantry Division in the south, or attack the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division nearby?  Attack?

    Time waits for no one. Listen, the sound of air raids and explosions by our aviation force has been heard from the Kharkov River a few kilometers to the east. If we cannot make a decisive decision on the spot and delay the coordinated air-ground attack of the aviation force,  If you let go of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division, not only will it be difficult to explain in front of the commander of the Kikuchi Brigade, but it will also be difficult to pass the test in front of the commander of the Otani Division, right?  "Lu Huanyan stared at him unhurriedly.

    "Uh okay, I have decided, Lu Sang, the 2nd Ukrainian Infantry Division in the south will be left to your armored regiment to deal with, and the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division here will be left to my 18th Infantry Regiment to fight.  !" Izaki Masagano rolled his eyes a few times, and finally made a choice among the explosions of aerial bombings coming from the east after a series of air strikes.

    "Okay! I wish you and your 18th Infantry Regiment a brilliant victory. The enemy's artillery unit has crossed the river. You can rest assured that one of my companies has already crossed the river in a roundabout way. With the cooperation of the aviation team,  He will definitely be able to take out the opponent's artillery next time. You can boldly attack the enemy. The combined casualties of the three infantry regiments of the 1st Infantry Division at this time have been at least 1500 people. I estimate that they will probably all be killed.  The division retreats, I leave everything to you and your regiment!¡±

    Lu Huanyan stepped forward and grasped the hand of the Japanese commander, who was half a head shorter than him, and shook it to fix the respective tasks of the two troops. Then he turned his head and gave an order to the commander of the armored regiment,

    "Pass my order, the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division is left to the 18th Infantry Regiment of Colonel Masago Izaki to clean up. The entire armored regiment takes the wounded and prisoners and advances southward along the road. Li Shang, the regiment's reconnaissance company allocates  You are the vanguard and you lead the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Company and Regiment in reconnaissance.Tao Dayong's two companies were stationed in front of the attack. I led the rest of the 3rd Battalion to the rear. The artillery company, anti-aircraft artillery company and engineer baggage team followed closely behind. The whole regiment moved out!  "

    Lu Huanyan's series of orders were quickly implemented. In the previous battle, Tao Dayong's 1st Company of the 1st Armored Battalion and Li Shang's 1st Company of the 3rd Armored Battalion. These two companies suffered the greatest casualties and were replaced by Lu Huanyan.  The Chinese armored forces quickly set off, moving along the forest road in an orderly manner amidst the rumbling engines of armored vehicles.  Nan gave chase.

    Behind him were the captain of the 18th Japanese Infantry Regiment, Masago Ezaki, and a group of Japanese generals who looked at him with envy and hatred. For all the soldiers of the 18th Japanese Infantry Regiment who had traveled dozens of kilometers on foot and on two legs all morning,  The tall, majestic, confident and domineering image of the Chinese armored forces in the coalition forces, just like at this moment, has gradually become an elusive and unreachable figure for the Japanese army, disappearing in a hurry.

    July 30, 1918, 12:30, Kharkiv Riverside Forest Battlefield, fifteen kilometers northeast of Kharkiv

    "Reporting to the captain, Lieutenant Colonel Matsushita led the 1st Infantry Battalion to capture the defense line of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division. The enemy seems to have abandoned the first line of defense ten minutes ago. Currently, the captain is leading his troops to pursue!" A Japanese messenger ordered  Out of breath, the soldier ran back from the forest to report.
