    "Okay! Pass my order, the 3rd Artillery Battalion suppresses the opponent's artillery brigade across the board. The Japanese artillery team will only have 4 or 5 75mm field guns left at most. Don't think about moving positions and resorting to sluggish tactics.  Give me the strength to throw out the most cannonballs in the shortest time, which is victory!" Milevsky finally made a decision. At this time, only cannons were the best way to deal with the opponent's cannons.

    The headquarters of the 1st Infantry Division was 300 meters south of the 3rd Artillery Battalion's position. After Milevsky gave the order to the 3rd Artillery Battalion to fire across the board, he added, "Keep firing and don't stop.  Until the opponent¡¯s artillery is completely silenced!¡±

    Here Karitintsev heard this and shouted, "Don't worry, division commander, please hold on for a few more minutes with the chief of staff and the infantry regiments. When we finish cleaning up the Japanese artillery, we will immediately reinforce his position with firepower!"

    Milevsky nodded upon hearing this, then turned around and shouted, "Why hasn't the 105mm medium artillery battalion found a suitable position yet? Send the messenger over and give them ten minutes to find the position, and 20 minutes to prepare for the bombardment.  Ask the telephone soldiers to fix the wireline phone as soon as possible!"

    Several staff officers and messengers hurriedly agreed. The commander of the division's reconnaissance battalion here, Levchenko, came over with his arms wrapped around his head and whispered, "Division Commander, let's take over the position of the 2nd Artillery Battalion of the Chinese troops."  Just ignore it? Maybe the enemies repulsed by the 3rd Battalion didn't retreat far? "" Look?

    "What are you afraid of? How do you want us to chase in this big forest? The opponent's snipers are so sharp. We wait for them to come. Now I have a combat force of 1,000 people. The artillery force is just a bait at the moment. China  If the scouts dare to come again, I won¡¯t believe that I won¡¯t be able to defeat them when the whole army comes. If I can catch a few alive, I will send them to Kharkov for an exhibition!¡± Division Commander Milevsky waved his hand!  Disapprovingly.

    Before he finished speaking, the 12 75mm Krupp field guns of the 3rd Battalion of the Ukrainian Artillery, which had adjusted the firing parameters and orientation, roared. A string of shells quickly passed through the forest and rushed to the other side of the Kharkov River 6 kilometers away.  At the Japanese artillery position, the shooting skills of Karitintsev's 3rd Artillery Battalion may not be better than those of the 1st Artillery Battalion, which has been silenced, but this guy's luck is obviously better than that of his colleagues in the 1st Artillery Battalion.  Too much came out.

    The remaining five guns of the artillery battalion of the 18th Japanese Infantry Regiment were desperately bombarding the Ukrainian position attacked by Saburo Sasaki's infantry battalion. As a result, they were hit by the sudden shot from an oblique angle. The Ukrainians  At least half of the first wave of 12 shells fired by the 12 75mm Krupp field guns of the 3rd Artillery Battalion hit the firing position of the artillery brigade commanded by Shohei Abe. Two of the five field guns were silenced at once.

    When Artillery Major Abe Shohei saw that his battalion only had 3 guns left, it was impossible to fight with the opponent's artillery battalion of 12 field guns. So he immediately ordered the cannons to be put away and moved, but the result was not the same.  The Ukrainian artillery battalion opposite was much more cunning than the previous artillery battalion. It fired three consecutive rounds of salvos quickly and urgently, and actively moved one secret position to the left and right. This removed the three Japanese artillery battalions that were being transferred.  The field artillery once again enveloped his shooting range.

    Just like that, 3 minutes later, the 3rd Battalion of the Ukrainian Artillery completely destroyed Shohei Abe's artillery brigade with 12 salvos. One of Shohei Abe's two artillery squadron leaders was killed and the other was seriously injured in the shelling. The Japanese artillery brigade was completely destroyed.  , which put the 18th Infantry Regiment of Masago Eizaki into trouble again in the battle against the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division.

    First, the six infantry squadrons commanded by Bin Takeuchi, who commanded the frontal attack, could not hold their heads up under the shelling of the Ukrainians and were unable to further expand their progress. The two sides fell into a tug-of-war and stalemate on the front line, and the Japanese troops on the attacking side suffered obvious casualties.  There are more Ukrainian troops than on the defensive side.

    The three infantry squadrons commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Setaro Matsushita, who were flanking, had to give up the attack and retreat into the woods after encountering the shelling from the Ukrainians from behind, and suffered one-third casualties.

    Just when Ezaki was gritting his teeth and preparing to retreat temporarily to avoid the Ukrainian artillery fire and wait for the Allied Air Force to reinforce again to suppress the opponent's artillery, the artillery fire on the Ukrainian artillery position on the right bank of the Kharkov River unexpectedly eased down.

    Xue Juru¡¯s special forces that penetrated into the right bank of the Kharkov River overcame huge difficulties. Finally, at this critical moment, they reached out to give Masago Ezaki and his 18th Japanese Infantry Regiment a hand!

    Xue Juru took the headquarters radio of the 2nd Armored Company and a squad of soldiers to lurk back to the position of the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division Artillery, but when the guy used the radio to call the headquarters radio of Masako Izaki,  The 3rd Battalion of the Ukrainian Artillery, which struck late, had used rapid fire to beat up the Japanese Artillery Battalion 6 kilometers away on the other side. As soon as the cannons on both sides rang out, Xue Juru tried to use the radio to guide the Japanese Artillery Battalion to preemptively attack the 3rd Battalion of the Ukrainian Artillery.  Failed.

      No matter how powerful Xue Juru is, he can still be a hero and use a squad to attack the opponent's artillery positions and Ukrainian division headquarters guarded by at least nearly a thousand soldiers. Even if he uses snipers to snipe, the opponent only needs to release 2  If a company came to search and pursue, the squad he led would have no other way out but to flee.

    Fortunately, after Xue Juru commanded the radio station to send the telegram, he simply stopped doing nothing and led the squad to the northwest direction back to the position of the 2nd Battalion of the Ukrainian Artillery that had been previously breached and occupied by himself. As for why the Ukrainian commander  There was no attempt to send troops to search and recapture the position of the 2nd Battalion of the artillery. Xue Juru didn't know. Maybe the Ukrainians were still unclear about the strength of their own unit. Maybe the brave attack and firepower of the company he led, especially  The precise shooting of the snipers made the Ukrainians more likely to use less weapons than others.

    Xue Juru asked Fu Erzhu, commander of the 2nd Armored Company, who had been frustrated in attacking the 3rd Battalion of the Ukrainian Artillery, to lead half a squad of soldiers and 5 lightly wounded soldiers, and carry 2 seriously wounded soldiers back to the Ukrainian Artillery where he left half a squad to guard them.  When he was in the 2nd Battalion's position, he asked Fu Erzhu to see if he could find a few gunners from the dozens of prisoners of the 2nd Battalion of the Ukrainian Artillery to fire the six intact 75mm Krupp field guns that he had captured.  to bombard the position of the 3rd Battalion of the Ukrainian Artillery.
