    Xue Juru's tone was firm. Although the 2nd Platoon suffered setbacks, they could not just leave the enemy artillery battalion in front of them to deploy their positions to bombard the left bank of the Kharkov River. This guy didn't know that the 18th Infantry Regiment of Masago Eizaki was  How much loss did the team's artillery brigade suffer in the artillery battle with the Ukrainians just now? It is possible to say that 8 guns can defeat an opponent's 12-gun artillery battalion in a preemptive strike.

    The key is how many guns he still has. As long as there is one gun left in the artillery brigade of the 18th Infantry Regiment, Xue Juru plans to directly use the radio to guide the artillery brigade of Shohei Abe to the 3rd Battalion of the Ukrainian Artillery here.  A sudden fire attack on the position!  However, even if the Japanese artillery battalion still has 8 cannons, once the 12 cannon positions of the Ukrainian artillery battalion are arranged, it may not be possible to continue to win with less and more, so Xue Juru is still ready to concentrate on 3 cannons.  The main force of the platoon was mentally prepared to launch a ground attack to clean up the opponent's artillery positions.  ",

    Fu Erzhu nodded silently when he heard this. Xue Juru, the reconnaissance company commander of this regiment, is here. Fu Erzhu, who is also the company commander, felt his own shortcomings for the first time. Obviously, a company like the 2nd Company of the 1st Armored Battalion, under Xue Ju  The 1st platoon under your command obviously fought better than the 2nd platoon directly commanded by myself, the commander of the 2nd company. As for the current situation of the 3rd platoon, Fu Erzhu couldn't guess, because the gunfire in the forest was intermittent, and there was no  It is easy to identify the direction. I can only hope that the 2nd company and the 3rd platoon commanded by Teng Yun will at least not underestimate the enemy and suffer too many losses by rushing in. "" Look

    Rabbits bite people when they are anxious, not to mention that the 1st Infantry Division of the Ukrainian National Army is their main division. The old guerrillas armed with all German equipment really fight to the death. If the Ukrainians cross the river, the 4.  5,000 people are definitely not something that the 2nd Company of Armored Infantry alone can easily handle!  "

    Fu Erzhu took the lightly wounded and half a squad of soldiers to carry the two seriously wounded and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xue Juru again.

    "Captain Fu, we just surrendered the enemy's 6 75mm Krupp field guns and captured dozens of prisoners. I see that the enemy's artillery shells are still some. After you withdraw and join up with the people left in the 1st platoon, you might as well  Try to find a few gunners from the prisoners, and try to adjust the muzzle positions of the 6 cannons before firing. Do you have a specific target? As long as the sound of cannons is heard on the right bank of the Kharkov River, it should be the enemy.  If you aim at the artillery position, you can definitely fire it! As for how to get the prisoners to surrender and fire for us, you can figure it out yourself! If that doesn¡¯t work, just ask the mortar crew from the 2nd platoon to fire the cannon!¡±

    Artillery is artillery after all. Although Lu Huanyan's armored regiment is elite and brave, it is still not as proficient as ordinary vehicle-mounted infantry company soldiers in operating 75mm field guns. As for the mortar crews, they have not actually been trained to operate mountain field guns and howitzers.  Professional training, artillery is artillery, and the infantry obviously still have a lot to go and learn.

    However, while Xue Juru was instructing Fu Erzhu, he was also murmuring in his heart. After this battle is over, every mortarman in my reconnaissance company will have to go back to the furnace to learn and master the operation and shooting techniques of mountain guns and howitzers. I  Although they are armored infantry, who says you can't hand over a few enemy cannons to play with yourself next time?

    After Xue Juru led nearly 40 soldiers from the 1st and 2nd platoons to separate from Fu Erzhu's team, he first went east to find the 3rd platoon lurking on the north side of the 1st Battalion position of the Ukrainian Artillery. It turned out to be the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division.  Most of the troops and cavalry companies, as well as the engineering battalions and supply battalions have been concentrated near the 1st Artillery Battalion. This is also a location where the terrain is relatively open and it is easy to deploy artillery positions.

    However, in the fierce artillery battle just now, the 1st Battalion of the Ukrainian Artillery was devastated by more than 150 artillery shells fired rapidly by the Japanese artillery brigade of the coalition. The entire position was reduced to a sea of ????fire, with broken limbs and broken arms and destroyed 75mm fields everywhere.  The wreckage of the gun, Lieutenant Teng Yun of the 2nd Armored Company, who led 3 platoons to ambush in the bushes 120 meters north of the enemy position, saw Xue Juru and more than 40 soldiers came over to join them, and got up from the position with a blush on his face.  reported,

    "Captain Xue, you are here. The enemy's artillery battalion was actually defeated by the sudden fire attack of the Japanese artillery brigade 6 or 7 kilometers away during the artillery battle. I personally counted them. In the first round, 2 Ukrainian artillery pieces were knocked out.  Then two more cannons were destroyed, and all 12 cannons were destroyed in the last 5 minutes. The Japanese artillery did a really good job, and they won with less and more cannons. However, the enemy's division headquarters was to the south of this artillery position.  I don¡¯t dare to act rashly with the 3rd Platoon, what¡¯s our next move?¡±

    Teng Yun's face was obviously a bit shocked. Just now there was a loud sound of gunfire from the southwest, and then it seemed that the Mosin-Nagant's shooting sound became denser and louder, while the shooting sounds of the coalition's M1 Garand and Browning machine guns were intermittent.  , and there are signs of gradually going away, which makes Teng Yun, the armored company of the 2nd company, and the 30-odd soldiers of the 3rd platoon led by him feel uncertain about their strength. Should they launch an attack?  Still continuing to lurk, obviously, in the face of the enemy's division headquarters, cavalry company, engineer battalion, supply battalion and artillery battalion, which combined totaled more than 1,500 troops, a coalition infantry platoon could not act rashly in any case.

      "The Japanese artillery is so powerful? An 8-gun artillery battalion knocked out the opponent's 12-gun artillery battalion? Damn it, the enemy's division must have gone south to defeat the 3rd Ukrainian artillery unit of the 2nd platoon of Fu Erzhu just now  The battalion's position is gone!" Xue Juru looked through the telescope for a long time and found that there were not many people on the other side's position to put out the fire and clean up the mess. More Ukrainian soldiers seemed to be concentrating to the south, which made him alert.

    "The 2nd platoon was defeated? Are there many casualties? How is the company commander?" Teng Yun, attached to the 2nd company, was shocked when he heard this and couldn't help but scream.

    "Why panic! There is no general who is always victorious in this world. The enemy is more tenacious and tenacious than we believe. Expecting to resolve the battle with a quick charge is almost impossible when facing a superior enemy. The 2nd Platoon suffered casualties.  One squad, at this moment your company commander's wounded man is maneuvering towards the position occupied by a platoon of the 2nd Battalion of the enemy's artillery.

    "Then what should we do? Captain Xue, the enemy has 4,000 to 5,000 people crossing the river, and we are only an infantry company with more than 100 people. Otherwise, we should use a radio to call the coalition air force to come for support, right? Use air strikes and aviation  Send the opponent to the west with a bomb!" 2nd Lianfu Teng Yun suggested.

    "The coalition air force has just returned. When the third wave comes back with full fuel and bombs, the day lilies may be cold!"
