    Don't forget that the enemy's 105mm howitzer battalion evacuated to the southeast is completely out of our sight at the moment. If we can't catch them, let the Ukrainians' 12 105mm howitzers open fire. The 18th Japanese Infantry Regiment's  Casualties will increase dramatically!  "Xue Juru shook his head, obviously not intending to be a coward.

    "I listen to you, Captain Xue, how do you think we should fight? Even if we kill all our 2nd company, it is worthwhile to destroy the opponent's artillery!" Teng Yun, attached to the 2nd company, expressed his attitude a little excitedly.

    "Bah, who told you to kill all the 2nd company? Of course you have to act within your capabilities. You made the right judgment and action by not rashly launching an attack before leading the 3rd platoon. Now we have more than 70 people left to deal with the opponent's one artilleryman.  There is still a chance for the battalion, Teng Company, please lead the 1, 2, and 3 platoons of more than 60 people back from the east and find a way to find the position of the opponent's 105mm howitzer battalion. When the time comes, use sparrow harassment tactics. The key point is  Play the role of a sniper and kill the opponent's gunner! Just hold the opponent back from firing. Be careful not to fight forcefully!"

    "I led a squad and the 2nd company headquarters radio station, so that the team had fewer people and smaller targets. We approached the position of the enemy's 3rd artillery battalion just now, and used the radio to call the Japanese artillery brigade on the other side to fire on the position of the 2nd Ukrainian artillery battalion.  Try to give the Japanese artillery battalion a chance to strike first without alerting the enemy. The Japanese artillery fire is fast and accurate. As long as we can get the chance to fire first, it will be better to kill the opponent's 3rd artillery battalion again.  It's very possible! "" Look.

    Xue Juru's arrangement was obviously easy to advance and retreat. Teng Yun, attached to the 2nd Company, nodded and agreed without saying a word. Here, Xue Juru made a temporary decision in front of the soldiers of the 2nd Armored Company who were physically exhausted and a bit low on energy.  a mobilization,

    "We are the glorious Chinese participating army. The large forces are encircling and annihilating the main force of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division on the left bank of the Kharkov River. Whether we can remove the Ukrainian artillery positions will directly affect the success or failure of this battle.  !

    Your 1st Battalion and 1st Company, under the command of Battalion Commander Tao Dayong, defeated a Ukrainian cavalry battalion. According to the previous report from the regiment headquarters, the 3rd Armored Battalion only used 3 companies to surround the positions of the opponent's 3 infantry regiments.  We were beaten randomly, and the 1st and 4th companies of the 3rd Armored Battalion used 4 platoons to annihilate the reinforcements of 2 enemy infantry battalions. At this time, we had to deal with nothing more than the enemy's artillery and engineer battalions.  Do you have confidence in logistics units like the supply camp?  !  "

    The morale of more than 70 soldiers of the 2nd Armored Company has obviously been re-motivated. Xue Juru's mobilization has achieved good results. Of course, the troops rested for 5 minutes, ate some dry food and drank some water. This also reflects the strength and stamina of the soldiers.  One of the reasons for partial recovery.

    In fact, the troops of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division that crossed the Kharkov River were almost like a big hand with five fingers spread out, imprinted in the forest up to 2 kilometers deep on the right bank of the Kharkov River. The most unlucky part was located in the big  The 2nd Battalion of the Ukrainian Artillery at the thumb position was destroyed by an air strike by the coalition air force. Half of its troops and artillery were destroyed, and the remaining half collapsed and retreated southward under the attack of the 1st Platoon of the 2nd Armored Company led by Xue Juru.

    It was the 3rd Battalion of the Ukrainian Artillery located at the index finger position that showed its face and boosted the morale of the Ukrainian National Army. Although they paid the price of hundreds of casualties, they repelled the attack of a platoon-level unit of the Allied Powers and became the division commander Milie.  Fitzgerald's first choice to transfer the division headquarters.

    The Ukrainian 105mm medium-sized artillery battalion evacuated to the southeast was located in the direction of the ring finger. Due to the swampy terrain along the way, the 105mm howitzer battalion pushed by people and pulled by horses not only could not find a suitable space to deploy the artillery array, but it was very difficult to move forward.  Difficult, of course, because it is in the south, and there are no enemy reconnaissance detachments around. At least the pace of this medium-sized artillery battalion has not stopped yet.

    The troops in the direction of the ring finger basically belong to the troops of the Ukrainian 1st Division who fled southward and separated from the division headquarters and retreated like stragglers during the coalition air attack on the pontoon bridge and both sides of the river in Kharkov. The organization along the way was broken up.  The number of stragglers, mainly the 1st Division's logistics troops, was also close to a thousand. Most of these people who were frightened by the coalition air raids ran away and lost their weapons. Their only thought at the moment was to stay as far away from the battlefield as possible.

    Those located at the tip of the middle finger were the first to land, the furthest to the east, and the first to deploy artillery positions. They opened fire across the bank and severely damaged the Sasaki Battalion, which was attacking the 18th Japanese Infantry Regiment 6 kilometers to the west.  The 1st Battalion of the Ukrainian Artillery. Of course, in the tragic and tragic artillery battle with the Japanese artillery brigade, all 12 cannons were destroyed. The entire artillery battalion has lost its combat effectiveness, and the division headquarters originally located south of the 1st Artillery Battalion also  Move to the position of the 3rd Battalion of the Ukrainian Artillery located in the direction of the index finger.

    July 30, 1918 13:00 Kharkiv River Forest Battlefield fifteen kilometers northeast of Kharkiv

    "Reporting to the division commander, the position of the 3rd Artillery Battalion has been deployed. Please give instructions on the attack target!" Commander of the 3rd Artillery BattalionVladislav Vladinovich Kalitintsev's voice was very loud. 20 minutes ago, his 3rd artillery battalion repelled a platoon of Chinese scouts from the allied forces who were frantically attacking. Although hundreds of men had been sacrificed,  There were casualties, but compared to the beaten 2nd Artillery Battalion that collapsed, the commander of the 3rd Artillery Battalion Karitintsev was proud enough.

    Of course, the commander of the 2nd Artillery Battalion, who abandoned his team and ran back and was shot to death on the order of division commander Milevsky, could only go to God to complain about his grievances. If the commander of the 2nd Artillery Battalion knew that the attacking enemy only had one platoon,  Maybe he would gather his troops and persist in resisting, but the phobia caused by the fierce air raids by the coalition air force caused a panic. When bullets and mortar shells from the coalition ground troops were fired at him from all directions, the collapse of the 2nd Artillery Battalion seemed to be the same at this moment.  Naturally.

    Milevsky did not have enough troops at hand. He really did not dare to send ground troops to recover the enemy-occupied position of the 2nd Artillery Battalion to recapture the several cannons that had fallen into enemy hands. The 3rd Artillery Battalion could  It was quite lucky to repel the invading enemy with the help of the barracks and baggage battalion. After Milevsky led the division back from the position of the 1st Artillery Battalion in the north, he ordered the engineer battalion, baggage battalion, and artillery battalion to be removed from the enemy.  All except the gunners were reorganized, weapons and ammunition were redistributed, and commanders at all levels were designated.
