    "Reporting to the division commander, the 25th Infantry Brigade has set up a position on the left wing and is now working hard to repair the fortifications. The 26th Infantry Brigade has also set up a position on the right wing. Half of the fortifications have been repaired. It is expected that the repairs of the position fortifications will be completed within an hour!" A machine  The staff officer was asked to put down the phone in his hand and report that Voronezh's troops had just arrived at this line half an hour ago. They were less than 5 kilometers away from the Ukrainian position in the north of the city. However, although the main force of the 13th Infantry Division had arrived on the battlefield, the rear divisions  The artillery regiment and logistics and supply troops were still rushing here 7 kilometers away.

    As for the division's engineering battalion, it is currently working hard with the engineering regiment of the Japanese 3rd Division to repair railways and highways. This is why the artillery regiment towed by Dodge cars of the 13th Federal Infantry Division will  The reason for being behind the brigade was that the railway and the kilometers along the railway had been damaged by blasting during the retreat of Ukrainian engineers. The march of the mechanized troops was quite difficult. They spent the whole day filling holes and pushing and pulling the broken down cannons and trucks.  .

    As the main infantry division of the Voronezh Group Army of the Volga Federation, the current organization method is still the square organization of 1 division, 2 brigades, and 4 "chapter" infantry regiments. However, Wang Geng replaced the heavy machine gun battalions and artillery that were used by the Soviet Red Army and White Guards.  The company's organization was temporarily adjusted. In addition to the infantry of 2 brigades and 4 regiments, each federal infantry division was equipped with 2 m1 Garand semi-automatic rifles, and the Browning m1917bra squad used machine guns.  It has been strengthened to the platoon level. As for the company level, it is equipped with a 7.62mm caliber M1918a1 Browning heavy machine gun. In addition, each company is also equipped with two 60mm caliber platoon mortar squads.

    In addition, each infantry regiment has an 8-gun 81mm caliber battalion with a mortar platoon. As for the field artillery, the division artillery regiment of the Federal Infantry Division has two 75mm 38-type field artillery battalions, and each battalion has three 6-gun battalions.  In addition, each federal infantry division also has an m191837aa anti-aircraft gun/anti-tank company, which has six 37mm caliber anti-aircraft guns.

    The 13th Voronezh Infantry Division has a full strength of 12,600 men. In terms of firepower, it has 48 heavy machine guns, 150 squad light machine guns, 96 60mm mortars, 32 81mm mortars, and 32 75mm field guns. Its firepower is much higher than before.  A division of the Soviet Red Army or the White Guard is much stronger, and all the field artillery is Dodge one-and-a-half-ton military trucks, Humvees towed by military off-road command/reconnaissance vehicles, and equipped to the battalion level. It can be said that it is a federation with strong troops.  The main infantry division of the Wehrmacht.

    The defense line built by the Ukrainians in the north of Kharkiv takes the railway station in the north of Kharkiv as the core position, forming a strong shield arch. The left and right wings each extend about 9 kilometers, reaching North Donets on the left.  The right bank of the river and the left bank of the Kharkov river on the right.

    At this time, the position of Voronezh's 13th Infantry Division was about 4.5 kilometers north of the core position of the opponent's train station. The two brigades on the left and right wings each deployed a regiment of troops, each with a width of about 5 kilometers. Almost one federal infantryman was responsible for this.  Digging a two-meter-wide trench. Of course, since the rainy season has just passed, the land north of Kharkiv is fertile and soft. It only took only a few seconds to dig a single soldier bunker to form a shallow line of skirmisher field trenches.  A little over 30 minutes.

    Of course, there is still a long way to go to dig a bomb-proof trench that can avoid shelling. Due to the soft soil, the sides of the trench need to be supported and reinforced by wooden planks. However, since it is the starting point for the attack, the division commander Voronezh does not intend to dig a solid trench.  Defending the trenches of "Beiyang 1917 Chapter 716 (1) Lack of Mental Preparation", just lie down and dodge bullets. I don't believe that the Ukrainians can fight back and get so far!

    As far as Liukin Alexeevich Voronezh is concerned, the 13th Infantry Division he leads are basically the old subordinates of the Voronezh Division of the Fifth Army of the Soviet Red Army. They can be regarded as the children of Voronezh.  After Russia switched its arms to the Volga Federation, although the weapons and equipment had not had time to be replaced with the federation's Chinese standard rifles, the machine guns, mortars and artillery were all Chinese standard, and the treatment of the Volga Federation Defense Forces was better than that of the Soviet Union.  It's definitely not the same as when the Red Army was hungry and full all day long and had to deal with Cheka's scrutiny at any time.

    The transformation from prisoners into the respected Bundeswehr made Voronezh and the soldiers of his 13th Infantry Division hold back their strength and wanted to show off their skills in the Ukrainian campaign. On the one hand, they would perform meritorious service for the Federation and show off their capabilities.  Settle down and make a career for yourself in the Volga Bundeswehr. Let's turn the page on the past as soon as possible.

    Although the 13th Federal Infantry Division advanced southward from the center along the destroyed railways and roads in the north, its speed was not as slow as that of "Beiyang 1917". Although it did not have troops for thousands of days, it was completely different in all aspects after entering the Volga Federation.  The treatment made these boys from the Voronezh region, who had lost weight due to hunger during the Soviet Red Army period, now feel a bit brave and brave to fight for themselves.

    The former White Guard soldiers who were on the victor¡¯s side in the Battle of Ufa are now the owners of fields and land that everyone has divided.?After the reorganization of the 13th Voronezh Infantry Division, about one-third of its troops came from Pepelyayev's former White Guard Infantry Division, so the medals on the chests of these boys and the military documents at home that they show off from time to time,  But the children of the former Soviet Red Army who experienced a period of defeat and imprisonment after the Battle of Ufa are jealous of them. Soldiers, fighting is the best opportunity to make contributions. We can't always be inferior to others, right?

    "Division Commander, the flank positions of the two brigades have already established contact with the 6th Infantry Regiment led by Commander Kikuchi and the armored positions of Colonel Lu of China. Let me tell you, there is no reason for us to launch an attack alone, right? Ukrainians  There are at least 4 divisions of defenders, and our artillery regiment is still lagging behind. It will take at least an hour to arrive. We do not have an advantage in terms of strength. If we just ""ask our division to launch an attack in a hurry, the former enemy headquarters  Are you underestimating the enemy or something? You want to use us as cannon fodder?"

    Division Chief of Staff Besklovny also frowned in agreement with his division commander. Apparently, the troops had traveled 40 kilometers and dug trenches for more than half an hour. At this time, their physical strength and energy dropped sharply. They originally thought they would attack on the ground.  At least it will start at dawn tomorrow, and the main attack will be with Chinese armored units or Japanese infantry regiments. Who would have thought that the former enemy headquarters actually asked the 13th Federal Infantry Division to launch the attack in 45 minutes. Besklovny and Voronezh obviously  All the same, they all lack sufficient mental preparation
