    Just now, he had made great achievements in commanding the 3rd Artillery Battalion to repel the small reconnaissance force of the Allied Powers that had penetrated into the right bank of the Kharkov River, and used preemptive strikes to defeat the Japanese artillery battalion on the other side of the river in an artillery battle.  Major Vladislav Vladinovich Kalitintsev, the commander, was also in panic at this moment. The shell suddenly fired from 1.5 kilometers away from the north not only overturned one of his 4-door systems.  Two shells from the 75mm Krupp field artillery battery even fell into the back of the division headquarters tent and exploded, almost killing division commander Milevsky.

    ",

    "Division Commander, Division Commander, this must be the Allied forces using the captured 2nd Battalion's cannon to shoot at us. I will immediately organize the troops to counterattack, immediately organize the troops to counterattack!" Karitintsev, commander of the 3rd Artillery Battalion, struggled and gasped.  He explained breathlessly.

    "Assholes! The 2nd Battalion are all bastards! They actually asked someone to disarm the cannon. Didn't they know to blow up the cannon before retreating? They all need to be shot! The commander of the 2nd Battalion must be shot!" Milevsky was almost hit by a piece of shrapnel just now  After cutting off his head, the military cap was gone, and his whole face was covered in oil smoke and sweat. Now he started roaring hysterically.

    Karitintsev, the commander of the 3rd Artillery Battalion, finally struggled away from his division commander. He rubbed his neck and muttered, "Commander, the commander of the 2nd Battalion has been shot by you! I will go and command the 3rd Battalion to counterattack."  "Commander, it's not safe here. The enemy's shelling is too fierce. You'd better take the division to retreat south!" As he spoke, Kalitintsev did not dare to stay, and rolled and crawled towards the artillery in the north with a few guards.  The position was touched back.  "" look

    After defeating the Japanese artillery brigade on the other side of the Kharkov River, the 3rd Battalion of the Ukrainian Artillery was shifting its muzzle to bombard the Japanese Sasaki Battalion's offensive position.  The artillery shells hit the head and blood. Although Karitintsev's 3rd artillery battalion was well-trained, it was caught off guard and encountered intensive enemy artillery fire. His artillery battalion inevitably suffered heavy casualties and  The gunners of the 3rd Battalion, who had been reduced in number and already exhausted, began to adjust their gun positions and prepare for counterattack, regardless of the fact that their comrades were blown up by flying shrapnel.

    But it will take time to turn the remaining cannons 90 degrees and re-aim, and the gunners' fear of shelling and constant lying down to avoid the shells will inevitably delay the time of re-adjustment of the artillery positions.  After the 3rd Battalion adjusted its artillery to fire from facing the west across the Kharkov River to facing north and west, the 3rd Battalion of the Artillery Battalion, which originally had 12 cannons, only had 6 cannons left to use, and the gunners suffered heavy casualties.  It is even larger, and there is barely enough gunners to operate six 75mm Krupp field guns.

    As a key area targeted by the opponent's shelling, the position of the 3rd Battalion of the Ukrainian Artillery has become a Shura killing ground, with broken limbs and leopards everywhere flowing into rivers. The 3rd Battalion of the Artillery of Karitintsev was resisting the one led by Fu Erzhu of the Chinese Allied Forces.  When the platoon attacked, they had already suffered hundreds of casualties. In the artillery battle with the Japanese artillery force across the river just now, although they completely knocked out five of the opponent's cannons, they suffered fifty or sixty casualties on their own side.

    At this moment, the artillery shells that were hit by the diagonal stabs exploded 4 times in a minute, and 6 more guns were lost. The casualties once again exceeded 100 people. It can be said that Karitintsev's team  The proud 3rd Artillery Battalion had suffered more than half of its vitality and was seriously injured. Sure enough, in the ensuing artillery battle between the two sides, with a score of 6:6, all 6 cannons and gunners of the 3rd Artillery Battalion were killed or injured.  , failed to completely suppress the attack of the six cannons on the position of the 2nd Artillery Battalion. Battalion Commander Karitintsev was also commanding the last cannon to make a desperate fight and was exploded by a roaring shell in front of him.  And died a violent death.

    Of course, Belanov, who was 1.5 kilometers away, had a hard time. From the 6 cannons with nearly 50 gunners when they opened fire, after the artillery battle stopped, they were left with only 1 cannon and 12 gunners. If it weren¡¯t for the Chinese captain of the coalition forces,  Fu Erzhu and a squad of soldiers led by him, half a squad of wounded soldiers, were staring at the artillery position with guns in hand. Maybe Belanov and his soldiers would run away before they could hold on to the final victory!

    What drove Milevsky, the commander of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division, crazy was not just the experience of the 3rd Artillery Battalion, a heroic artillery battalion that was wiped out just after it made great achievements, but the 105mm Krupp Howitzer Battalion that he relied on as the Great Wall.  The entire army was wiped out. Not long after the 3rd Battalion of the Ukrainian Artillery encountered a sudden attack from the opponent's artillery fire, Yaroslav Jarolovich Rakitsky, commander of the Artillery Regiment of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division, led nearly a hundred people from the southern forest in a sparse manner.  Withdrew.

    "Division Commander, Division Commander, the 105mm howitzer battalion was attacked by a large force of the Allied Powers. The team collapsed. The opponent was at least a battalion of troops. Isshiki's M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles, 7 or 8 light machine guns, and mortars were fired.  The attack was fast and accurate. The medium-sized artillery battalion was completely destroyed, and all the artillery fell into the hands of the enemy. Division Commander, I only have less than 200 people with guns in my hands. You can't blame me. The regiment headquarters almost called for help.  I can't bear it??He broke out and ran away!  "

    Colonel Rakitsky, commander of the artillery regiment of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division, had a face covered in oil smoke and sweat. His military uniform was torn into strips by bushes. His hat was gone and the pistol in his holster was missing. He followed  Almost all of the nearly a hundred Ukrainian gunners behind him had empty hands and no weapons, and they sat on the ground in panic and embarrassment, panting.

    "A large coalition force? How is that possible? You're talking nonsense! The coalition wants a large force that can let me go to the division headquarters to find trouble with your 105mm howitzer battalion? You're talking nonsense!" Division Commander Milevsky kicked him down angrily.  He hit the artillery regiment commander in front of him, took out the Luger pistol from his waist, pointed it at Rakitsky's head and shook it. Rakitsky rolled left and right and tried to avoid the muzzle of his division commander's gun, while waving the two sides and shouting.  Qu Qu said,

    "Division Commander, the enemy is really a large force. They were rescued from the position of the 1st Artillery Battalion to the east of us. The leading ones were still wearing our uniforms. The guard posts disarmed them without firing a single shot. The ones in gray-blue uniforms  The strength of the Chinese armored forces is definitely not less than one company, and I estimate it must be one battalion.

    The snipers and mortar operators were extremely accurate. The battalion commanders and company commanders were all shot in the head within 5 minutes. A total of 2 mg08 heavy machine guns were shot by the opponent's mortars before even firing a third of the bullet chain.  It was destroyed, division commander, I really dare not tell a lie. Not even a single infantry regiment can withstand the attack of a company of the other party. How can I, an artillery battalion with two-thirds of its people unarmed, withstand the attack of the other party?  "
