    "Is the phone line connected? Is the phone line with the former enemy headquarters connected?" Voronezh turned around and shouted at the division headquarters staff at the top of his lungs.

    "Reporting to the division commander, when the Ukrainians retreated, they also blew up the telegraph poles on one side of the railway. At this time, the telephone lines of the two brigade positions on the left and right wings of our division have been established, and we can communicate with the former enemy command thirty kilometers behind.  The department hasn¡¯t been connected yet, it will probably take at least half an hour!¡±

    "Chief of Staff, look at this, our brigade has come all the way. The stumbling on the road has consumed a lot of energy. We have been exhausted from repairing the fortifications just now. How can we just call people to attack without taking a breath? I don't think it's okay.  We have to call back to the former enemy headquarters and ask for a postponement of the attack, at least until evening!" This guy in Voronezh obviously didn't intend to obey the order.

    "Division commander, let me tell you, we don't have to challenge the Japanese. Didn't we say that the Chinese armored forces and the 18th Japanese Infantry Regiment defeated the two main infantry divisions of the Ukrainian National Army in the Kharkov Forest? Their combined strength is still  There are not as many divisions as ours. If you ask me, even if we can't attack, at least we won't let the enemy counterattack and defeat the battle. Isn't it okay if we just maintain the offensive posture? "Division Chief of Staff Farewell?  Scrovny hesitated and suggested in a low voice.

    "Huh? What do you mean? My 13th Infantry Division is the main force of the group army. If you use me in the first battle, you will win if you use me. You have a knot in your belly. Do you want me to go out of work and not work hard to deal with it? This is not the case.  Are you throwing the face of our 13th Infantry Division into the Kharkov River to feed the fish?" Voronezh said disdainfully.

    "No no, division commander, how can you think that way? My analysis is that the former enemy command headquarters only asked our division to attack, while the Japanese 6th Infantry Regiment on the left and right flanks and the Chinese Armored Forces of Colonel Lu stood still. Obviously, this time  The attack is not a full-line attack, but a tentative attack. The purpose is to find out the strength and firepower of the Ukrainian defense line!

    Commander, think about it, we only have one division, no matter how lucky we are and no matter how resolute we fight, if the opponent has two divisions to defend Kharkov, we won't be able to take advantage. If there are four divisions, His Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces is here.  , it¡¯s not a shame if we can¡¯t attack, right?  Let me tell you, as long as we hold on to the current front while avoiding huge casualties and maintaining the offensive, we will be invincible!  "

    Division Chief of Staff Besklovny was obviously a thoughtful guy. Such an analysis made his division commander Volenezh calm down. The guy walked around in front of the map a few times with his chin in his hand, raised his head and said, "  Having said that, my troops will either not fight, or if they want to fight, they will set off a loud firecracker. In this case, we request that the attack time be postponed to 15:30, so that our artillery regiment should be able to catch up. In addition, we request the coalition air force  During our attack, we can suppress the opponent's artillery positions!"

    "Sure! I think it will work. I said to the division commander, do we want to borrow an armored company from the Chinese armored forces on the left to help us attack the opponent's position? Although it is not easy for a wheeled armored combat vehicle to cross the trench, the armored vehicle's  The firepower of the M2 large-caliber heavy machine gun is very powerful. With these 10 armored combat vehicles, the threat of us launching an attack will be greater, and the enemy will panic and expose more firepower, right?" Chief of Staff Besklovny said with eyes.  In a sudden change, he made a wishful thinking of borrowing troops from the Chinese armored forces on the left.

    "Wellyour method" Beiyang 1917 Chapter 716 (2) Use me in the first battle" is good, but I heard that Lu Huanyan's armored troops also fought hard in the Kharkov forest. I'm afraid  The opponent's excuse is that the troops need to rest and lack of ammunition and fuel, so they may not be willing to lend troops to us!" Voronezh was moved when he heard this, but he was a little bit embarrassed. He felt that there was little certainty in lending troops. If Lu Huanyan's armored troops were willing to continue to attack.  If so, does the Chinese colonel need to contribute to the wedding dress for his 13th Infantry Division?  Wouldn't he launch an attack from the left wing himself?

    "Uh" Besklovny, the division chief of staff, was speechless for a moment, thinking that the division commander was right. If Lu Huanyan's armored forces have the remaining strength to continue the attack, how much more to give the credit to his own 13th Infantry Division?  If he attacks from the northeast, the defense of the opponent's position may be even weaker!

    The guy's eyes rolled, and he patted his head again and came up with an idea, "Commander, Commander, do you think this will work? We will transfer an infantry battalion to the Chinese Colonel Lu to help them defend their position. We only need him to borrow it."  Give us an armored company of wheeled armored fighting vehicles, but we don¡¯t want the vehicle-mounted infantry of the Central Army. The most they can do is lend us 2 drivers and 2 heavy machine gun shooters per vehicle, which will have an impact on the strength of the resting armored forces.  "Beiyang 1917" is not big. We have 560 men in one battalion in exchange for 10 tanks and 40 soldiers of the other side. He can always agree to this deal, right? "

    "Good boy, have you come up with this method? I think it's possible, but let me just add, as long as there is credit, when the report is made, we will also mention the Chinese armored forces to cooperate with the operations."Well, is this worthy of Lu Huanyan and his troops?  !  "Voronezh slapped his head and raised the price.

    Soon, 5 minutes later, the former enemy headquarters of the Central Route Army in the Ukraine Campaign called back, agreeing to postpone the attack time of the 13th Federal Infantry Division from 15:00 to 15:30, and promised that during the attack of the 13th Federal Infantry Division, the Allied Air Force would at least  Keep a squadron of fighter aircraft patrolling and cruising in the sky for air support.

    Five minutes later, Lu Huanyan's armored regiment also called, agreeing to send a Chinese armored company of 10 wheeled armored combat vehicles to cooperate with the 13th Infantry Division's offensive operations, and also agreed to accept the command of a battalion of federal infantry.  In exchange, in fact, Lu Huanyan's engineer battalion has now returned to the original position of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division in the north. The engineer battalion has even restarted building a pontoon bridge on the Kharkov River. Our Colonel Lu plans to  The troops of Xue Juru's company who were stranded on the other side of the river were brought back to the left bank of Kharkov. Of course, and more importantly, they had to be captured.

    The second company of Fu Erzhu Armor led by Xue Juru fought in the forest area on the right bank of Kharkov and captured an entire battalion of 105mm Krupp howitzer cannons. The ammunition was almost half the base, plus nearly 600 captives.  Ukrainian gunners, engineers and baggage troops, our Colonel Lu obviously intends to add a huge 105mm howitzer battalion to his armored regiment. In fact, after cleaning the battlefield, except for these 12 intact 105mm Krupp howitzers  , except for the remaining 75mm Krupp field gun on the position of the 2nd Battalion of the Ukrainian Artillery
