Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After the coalition air force took turns strafing and air raiding both sides of the Kharkov River, the division commander Milevsky, who had escaped the disaster, actually sent two phone soldiers with good water skills to swim back to the left bank of the Kharkov River.  In addition to the telephone line across the river bank connecting the two sides of the river, it also brought the confidence of the division commander Milevsky after escaping the disaster. The division commander will command on the right bank of the Kharkov River.  The artillery regiment that had been evacuated into the dense forest set up a position to provide artillery support to the main force of the 1st Infantry Division on the left bank across the Kharkov River.

    The weakness of the Japanese troops responsible for the attack and the inferior firepower of individual soldiers compared to the Chinese armored forces also gave Division Chief of Staff Kravshenko, who stayed on the left bank to command front-line operations, the desire and confidence for victory.  ",

    The development of the situation was very beneficial to Kravshenko's 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments responsible for the central defense. Although the artillery regiment commanded by Milevsky in the rear could only gather and deploy the 1st Artillery Regiment, which was the first to cross the river and land ashore.  Battalion, but the three salvoes of 12 1912 75mm Krupp field guns obviously beat the Japanese infantry brigade lying behind the temporary fortifications to a bloody pulp.

    Just when the division chief of staff of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division was about to order a battalion of troops to take advantage of the victory to counterattack, eight 75mm Type 38 field guns from the Japanese artillery near the west road roared, which made Kravshenko and the infantry  The hearts of the Ukrainian National Army officers and soldiers in the 1st and 2nd Regiments sank. Although the number of the opponent's artillery was only 8, they were firing fast and hard. As expected, the Japanese artillery brigade, which had seized the opportunity to strike later, was stunned.  It was with eight guns that the 1st Battalion of the Ukrainian National Army's artillery deployed across the river was beaten into silence.  "" look

    The latest news coming from the cross-river cable phone is that the 1st Artillery Battalion was almost wiped out in a short and fierce artillery battle with the Japanese artillery. In fact, during the 5-minute artillery battle between the two sides, the Japanese artillery battalion fired every  The extremely high rate of fire of 6 rounds per minute was followed by more than 20 rounds of artillery fire. Nearly 150 rounds of 75mm field artillery grenades with a projectile weight of 6.5 kilograms turned the position of the 1st Battalion of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division Artillery 6.5 kilometers away into a sea of ??flames.

    The 1st Battalion of the Ukrainian Artillery, which has 24 75mm Krupp field guns with comparable performance, was outnumbered in an artillery battle with one and a half times the number of the enemy's artillery. Due to being the first to bombard the opponent's infantry brigade,  This exposed the location of our own artillery positions, causing the opponent's first salvo to knock out two Ukrainian National Army cannons. And because the Ukrainian National Army artillery training time was short and their skills were not up to standard, they were calculating and adjusting their own.  During the artillery position, they encountered almost 6 rounds of artillery fire from the Japanese army. 48 grenades accurately hit the position of the 1st Battalion of the Ukrainian Artillery and overturned 4 more cannons.

    The remaining 6 field guns in Ukraine only had a rate of fire of 3 rounds per minute during the counterattack. Therefore, when the artillery positions of both sides fell silent 5 minutes later, all 12 field guns of the 1st Battalion of the Ukrainian Artillery were wiped out.  , the entire artillery position was turned into a blazing sea of ????fire. Of course, the Japanese artillery brigade did not have the mobility to move its position and blindly tried to overwhelm the opponent with a high rate of fire. This caused the Ukrainian artillery to actually knock out three Japanese artillery brigade in a desperate struggle.  cannon.

    The artillery battle between the Ukrainian National Army and the Japanese Army can be seen as a contest between two boxers who blindly attack rather than defend. Although Abe Shohei's artillery brigade has one-third less artillery than its opponent, it still accounts for  Taking advantage of the advantage of a late strike, the Japanese gunners' shooting literacy was also quite high, and the command of the two artillery squadron leaders was also very decisive, so they achieved a complete victory. Of course, the Ukrainian artillery battalion did not gain nothing, at least after the firing parameters were adjusted in the final stage.  The dying blow knocked out three Japanese artillery pieces in succession.

    If it weren't for the company led by Xue Juru of the Chinese armored regiment that swam and lurked on the right bank of Kharkov, and then the surprise attack suddenly took away the artillery of the remaining three battalions of the Ukrainian artillery regiment, it can be believed that the 18th Infantry Division of Masako Eizaki  The company will definitely not be able to get away from the Ukrainian National Army, which is fighting against the odds. In fact, Ezaki Masato is always sweating in his heart, even though he strictly ordered Abe Shohei's artillery brigade to have the courage to fight to the end.

    However, even a god would not be able to defeat the Japanese artillery brigade with 8 field guns without air support against the opponent's artillery regiment with 36 75mm field guns and 12 105mm howitzers. Miracles will not happen again and again.  With the appearance of three, when the opponent's artillery battalion fell silent and stopped fighting back, Abe Shohei and his artillery brigade used all their strength to move the five remaining 75mm Type 38 field guns. Of course, they were made by pack horses.  The transfer of the Japanese artillery troops by pushing and pulling horses was quite hard and stressful.

    Of course, at this time, the opponent's previous battalion of 12 men's 75mm Krupp field artillery bombarded the Sasaki Battalion, which suffered heavy casualties. Only two and a half squadrons were left intact. These more than 600 people were needed to capture the opponent's more than 2,000 elite garrison.  The position is simply a fantasy. Speaking of which, the shooting skills of the Japanese veterans are actually quite good. The ballistic trajectory of the 38-gun is also straight, but at a distance of 400 meters, it is more difficult to compare with a 4x optical sight.Among the coalition forces, the M1 Garand sniper rifle is obviously more powerful than the sniper.

    The variable lies in the Panasonic Battalion that detours from the right side of the Ukrainian position. Although there are deep forests, thickets, water, and swamps everywhere, the sound of gunfire and gunfire from the fierce battle between the two sides in the center position is the best compass. The 1st and 2nd Infantry Squadrons of the Panasonic Battalion.  Leng made an arduous detour through the dense forest and arrived at the Kharkov River, and rendezvoused with the Fujita Unosuke Squadron of the Aoki Battalion, which had been waiting in hiding. The three Japanese infantry squadrons who joined forces were killed by Matsushita Yukitar¨­  Under the personal command of the captain, they outflanked the position of the 3rd Ukrainian Infantry Regiment in a roundabout way, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

    At this moment, the 3rd and 4th infantry squadrons left by Panasonic on the position of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division, under the command of Captain Keiji Tamada attached to the brigade, turned south to join the remaining two and a half squadrons of the Sasaki brigade.  Then, under the unified command of Fu Zhuuchi Bin, the regiment who arrived with reinforcements from two squadrons of the Aoki Brigade, they once again launched an attack on the positions of the two regiments of the 1st Infantry Division of the Ukrainian National Army defending the center position.

    According to the wishes of the commander Masago Eizaki, the 18th Infantry Regiment should withdraw from the battle rather than continue the attack rashly before it is convinced that the Chinese company has taken over the remaining three battalions of the Ukrainian artillery force on the other side of the river.  !
