    Division Commander, in my opinion, the enemy's defensive position will not be less than one division, or even two divisions. I just don't know how the opponent can hide it!  In addition, the air force has not yet discovered the enemy artillery positions in Kharkov from aerial reconnaissance!  "

    Division Chief of Staff Besklovny was obviously a little uneasy. He should have forced the enemy's artillery to fire through a tentative attack, and then launched a large-scale air strike to be more targeted. However, there was obviously not enough time, so the Allied Air Force  The bomber brigade relied purely on Hawkeye early warning aircraft and reconnaissance aircraft to conduct aerial reconnaissance of Kharkov, and then bombed the opponent's circular defense line and areas suspected of artillery positions. The effect can be imagined.

    "On a front line of nearly 20 kilometers, the coalition forces only used a fighter-bomber group of 40 fighters to conduct air strikes. The firepower intensity of the air strike against the Ukrainians was still not enough!" Division Commander Voronezh blinked while looking at the situation on the front line.  He said to Besklovny, the chief of staff beside him.

    What just launched an air strike on the ground was a Chinese FR18 Excellent fighter-bomber team of the 2nd Fighter-Bomber Wing of the Allied Frontline Air Force. This single-wing, two-seater, metal-skinned Chinese new fighter-bomber is carrying  The bomb capacity is 300 kilograms. When used as a bomber to perform ground attack missions, it can carry 4 heavy aerial bombs weighing 150 pounds. However, 40 fighter planes only dropped a total of 160 such aerial bombs, evenly divided to 20  On the opponent's position that was about 2 kilometers deep, only 4 bombs were dropped per square kilometer. This firepower density was only unsatisfactory.

    "Liukin Alexeevich, my division commander, it's too late to say this now. If we had known earlier, we should have asked the air force to focus on bombing the opponent's train station, and spared the corners of the other two wings.  After the train station is razed to the ground, we should be able to rush into Kharkov city in one go!" The division chief of staff complained with meaning in his tone. In fact, he had proposed such a central breakthrough before the air strike, but  The division commander Voronezh actually vetoed it.

    "Alexander Alexanderevich, my Chief of Staff, the enemy is hiding to deal with our air strikes. It is easy to blow up this train station, but it is just as difficult to repair it? Do you think I don't want to blow up all the enemy positions and smash them to pieces?"  ? But at the moment, the engineers are rushing to repair the 40 kilometers of railways and highways. The city is full of mud. If we blow up the Kharkiv North Railway Station indiscriminately, it will be delayed when we go back to repair it.  A waste of time and energy!¡±

    "The division commander Voronezh lowered his voice and said, "This air strike by the coalition air force seems to have no focus on eyebrows and beards, but doesn't this also confuse the Ukrainians and make them unable to distinguish which direction we choose to break through?"

    "Division Commander, having said that, do you think our division is going to go all out to attack the city of Kharkov? In the plan of the enemy headquarters before the war, siege and reinforcements were the first choice!" said the division chief of staff.  Scrovny scratched his head and said hesitantly.

    "The situation is constantly changing. Whether to besiege the city or to fight for reinforcements. This kind of nonsense bothers the Japanese. Either our division will not fight. If we want to fight, we must use the momentum and majesty of the Voronezh soldiers to eliminate the bad luck in the Battle of Ufa.  He will be wiped out completely, but I will keep the words in my head. After the attack is launched, I will fix whoever breaks the chain. The brigade commander will be directly removed from his post, and the battalion and company commander will be shot directly!"

    The way Voronezh gnashed his teeth, "Beiyang 1917 Chapter 719 (2) Where are the artillery?" The several staff officers around him were sweating from behind, but the division chief of staff Besklovny nodded after hearing this.  Nodding and saying,

    "When two armies meet, the brave prevails. We are now a serious Bundeswehr. Although the light and heavy machine guns, mortars and grenades are not as good as those of the Chinese armored forces, they are definitely not the same as those of the Soviet Red Army before. The key is  Since joining the Volga Federation, the soldiers have become enlightened, knowing that they are fighting for themselves, the land and the future. In addition, the bastards have been well fed and clothed in the past half month, but they have to go into battle to show their skills. They must not be called carrying three men.  The Japanese troops with eight guns are in disgrace!"

    A group of staff officers were also furious after hearing this. They were obviously inspired by the heroic spirit and determination of the division commander and chief of staff. However, Besklovny, the division chief of staff, changed the topic and whispered next to the division commander Voronezh,

    "I said the division commander, the 26th Brigade on the right wing reported that the 6th Japanese Infantry Regiment on the right side of their position was also frequently mobilizing troops. The cavalry squadron that had been chased back by Ukrainian machine guns seemed to be preparing to attack again. In addition,  There is at least one infantry group among the troops being mobilized and prepared. Could it be that Major General Kikuchi plans to also put his "Beiyang 1917" unit into the attack? "

    "Huh? The Japanese can't calm down and want to steal my lead?! This is absolutely not possible! Chief of Staff, I don't think we should wait until 15:30. The troops must go into attack in advance, otherwise the Japanese will steal it.Taking the lead, but there is no good thing like our division. Pass my order, the 51st Regiment of the 26th Infantry Brigade on the right wing moves forward to prepare for the attack. The target is the center of the opponent's right wing defense line!  The 48th Regiment of the 25th Infantry Brigade on the left wing moved forward covertly, using 10 wheeled armored fighting vehicles from a Chinese armored company borrowed from Luna, China, as the leader. The target was the center of the opponent's left defense line!  "

    As he spoke, Voronezh raised his wrist and looked at his watch, frowned and said, "It doesn't matter that the railway behind has not been repaired, the road is also delayed, what are the Japanese 3rd Division's engineering troops doing for food, our division artillery  When will the regiment arrive on the battlefield?"

    Chief of Staff Besklovny blushed when he heard this, and explained in a low voice, "It will take at least 35 minutes for the division artillery regiment to arrive. The road conditions are so bad, there are craters and puddles everywhere, and our artillery is  It was being towed by a Dodge truck, and it was really dangerous to walk off the road. As for the field artillery wing of the Japanese Third Division, it was still far away at the moment and was waiting for them to arrive more than 20 kilometers away!  The day lilies are probably cold!¡±

    Although the main infantry force of the 13th Volga Federal Infantry Division is still the traditional square organization of 1 division, 2 brigades and 4 regiments, the artillery battery organization common in Soviet Russian troops was strengthened by Wang Geng into a divisional artillery regiment, a federal infantry division.  The division's artillery regiment has two 75mm Type 38 field artillery battalions, and each battalion has three six-gun artillery batteries. In this way, the division's artillery has 36 75mm field guns.

    In addition, the artillery regiment also has an m191837aa anti-aircraft gun/anti-tank company, which has six 37mm caliber anti-aircraft guns. In Wang Geng's plan, the federal infantry division artillery regiment will have two field artillery battalions and one anti-aircraft gun and anti-tank battalion in the future.  There are currently insufficient numbers of 37mm anti-aircraft/anti-tank guns, so only one anti-aircraft gun anti-tank company has been established for the time being.
