    I believe that if Milevsky and Mihalik are not idiots, then they mainly lost because they were not tenacious enough to fight and panicked in the face of the enemy air force's air attack. The main force of the 2nd Infantry Division  There are still people left, but instead of taking a pontoon bridge to cross the river, they engage in armed swimming, which results in heavy losses

    As for the 1st Infantry Division, it would be no problem for them to defeat a Japanese infantry regiment with less than 4,000 people. But something went wrong with Milevsky¡¯s artillery position, and it finally collapsed completely!  As a result, even you, the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian National Army, have lost track of the 1st Infantry Division!

    But even so, in my opinion, after a day of fighting, the Allied forces are at the end of their strength when the weather is so hot. As long as your volunteer 1st and 2nd divisions obey the command and calm down, I believe that in  Before dawn tomorrow, we will definitely be able to defend the city of Kharkiv!  "

    Sven von Neuhaus, the commander of the 47th German Reserve Infantry Division, was obviously as confident as before, and his words were eloquent. Although the coalition forces had air superiority, the "fastest chapter updated" marching operation in broad daylight, although it advanced to Hal  In the view of the German major general, the Allied commander was obviously dazzled by the victory in the North, and he wanted to scare away the defenders of Kharkov with loud noises, so as to occupy the border in the morning.  Just like the nearby first trench and fortification defense line, we entered the city of Kharkov without any bloodshed!

    Although the German Major General encouraged Simon Petliura, he actually murmured in his heart that the 1st and 2nd Ukrainian Infantry Divisions, fully equipped with German equipment, did not even have a single daylight in the forest beside the Kharkov River.  Hold on, this made von Neuhaus a little surprised. You must know that Milevsky and his chief of staff Kravshenko are not mediocre and ordinary people, including the commander of the 2nd Infantry Division.  Halik, in just half a day, it took only a Japanese infantry regiment and an armored regiment to deal with it?

    Even if you put 25,000 pigs to guard the position in the Kharkov forest, you won't be defeated so quickly, right?  When did the Japanese army with the 38-meter cover become so powerful?  Actually defeated two Ukrainian main infantry divisions with eight times their own strength and firepower?  But all of this actually happened, and it seems that the root cause still lies with the Chinese armored forces and the coalition air force's unscrupulous air strikes in the sky!  The German Major General was muttering in his heart, but his expression remained as usual. He smiled and comforted Simon Petliura and said,

    "Are you going to command this battle or should I command it for you? I have issued a military order to General von Francois. He must hold on until dawn tomorrow, otherwise my Army Commander will not agree to it! At this time, General  They still insist on commanding the overall situation from the basement of the train station in the southern suburbs of the city, waiting for us to severely defeat the Allied forces in the north of the city!" Sven von Neuhaus looked at the Ukrainian Prime Minister who was a little confused in front of him with a half-smile.

    "Your Excellency Major General, I know that the German Army is the ace army in the world today, but the Chinese armored forces in the Allied Forces are not easy to mess with. The large-caliber heavy machine guns on their wheeled armored tanks are simply a nightmare for all ground troops. What's more,  The fighter planes of the Allied Air Force are still hovering in the sky. Are you sure that we can hold the position with only the volunteer division?" Simon Petliura looked at the German division commander with lingering fear.

    "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, let me tell you clearly. The Allied forces rushed towards Kharkov in three directions. This shows that the other side is very worried about encountering flanks." Beiyang 1917 Chapter 718 (2) The casualties will never be light.  "Detour and counterattack. According to the current clear intelligence from the reconnaissance, the forces deployed by the Allied Allied Forces on the Kharkov battlefield should only be the Japanese Third Division, a division of the Volga Federal Infantry and an allied Chinese armored regiment. If the other party does not temporarily control  With the air superiority over Kharkov, we can stop the opponent with just the strength of the 1st and 2nd Ukrainian Infantry Divisions and the first trench defense line!¡±

    Von Neuhaus obviously hopes to appease the Ukrainian Prime Minister, Minister of Defense and Commander-in-Chief of the National Army around him. If this man panics and loses control, then the Ukrainian volunteer division below can only rely on von Neuhaus himself.  But the command cannot be moved. Speaking of which, Simon Petliura is still the undisputed anchor and number one figure in the Ukrainian National Army. As long as Petliura remains in Kharkov, the Ukrainian National Army will not be able to establish a tree.  The hozen collapsed.

    "Major General, what's the use of what you're talking about? Don't you think it's not enough for the other side to defeat my two main infantry divisions with only one infantry regiment and a Chinese armored regiment that was not full? Now the enemy in front of you has already  The three-pronged armies gathered together, adding up to at least one Japanese infantry brigade, one Chinese armored regiment, and one Volga Federation "Beiyang 1917" infantry division. If they want to defeat my two divisions based on the force analogy, don't talk about it now.  If Kharkov is captured, even a German infantry division may not be able to stop the opponent!"

      Simon Petliura is obviously not easy to fool. If the coalition does not control the air, then his 3rd and 4th infantry divisions will not retreat to the forest fifteen kilometers east of the city to hide. If the infantry  The cannons of the two artillery regiments of the 3rd and 4th Divisions can be used to defend Kharkov, so now they will not be in the dilemma of using 20 cannons to defend Kharkov. The leader of Ukraine is obviously now  It's really a bit confusing.

    "Well Your Excellency Petliura, in front of General von Francois, you patted your chest and said that you would defend Kharkov and that soldiers should have the heroism of soldiers. No matter what, you are still Ukrainian.  Minister of Defense and Commander-in-Chief of the National Army, surrendering Kharkov without a fight means nothing to me and General Francois, but it is a huge failure for your Ukrainian government and the National Army.

    ????????????????????????????????????????It was you who vowed to defend Ukraine and Kharkov, but now we are helping you to defend the city, and you are so flustered that you don't want to fight?  Now, in broad daylight, I would like to remind you that the troops cannot smoothly mobilize and retreat on a large scale under the nose of the Allied Air Force!  "Von Neuhaus squinted his eyes and stared at the Ukrainian leader in front of him. He was blaming his immediate boss, General Von Francois, if he had known that Simon Petliura was so messed up that he couldn't hold up the wall.  , I shouldn¡¯t have taken a trip into this muddy water at all!

    Von Neuhaus woke up the man in his dream. Simon Petliura was horrified when he heard this. He patted his head and murmured, "Yes, right now, the sky is filled with Allied fighter planes showing off their power.  Patrol, even if we withdraw, it will be too late" The Ukrainian Prime Minister looked frustrated.
