    Simon Petliura saw from the telescope that his left-wing position had finally survived the most dangerous moment. The strength of an infantry regiment was now relying on mg08, Mosin-Nagant volleys and 7.6cm mortars.  He beat two enemy battalions 4 or 500 meters in front of the position, and he immediately became elated. Of course, the question of why the artillery behind the enemy never opened fire also came to the mind of the Ukrainian Prime Minister!

    "I said to Lord Petliura, although the enemy's offensive on the left wing is fierce, it lacks stamina. I am worried about the enemy's offensive on the right wing and the position of the artillery unit. Although the brave will win when the two armies meet, the enemy has control of the air.  The number of artillery we have left in Kharkov is far inferior to that of our opponents.

    Since we cannot find out the enemy's artillery positions for a preemptive strike at this time, we can only adopt post-emptive tactics. Unless the enemy attacks across the board or the opponent's field artillery unit opens fire, we must not easily use our own artillery. This will  Now you understand the reason why I have not agreed to provide artillery support to the left wing position before, right?  "Von Neuhaus's brows did not relax with the temporary stabilization of the left wing position. His eyes were still focused on the front of the right wing position.

    "Right wing position? Oops, this is incredible. When did the Volga Federal Infantry Division also equip itself with armored vehicles? 1, 2, 3 10 vehicles. This is the establishment of a coalition armored company. Could it be said that Chinese armored forces are also preparing to invest in the right wing?  Attack? I said, General, we can't wait any longer. We have to hit them hard with cannon before the opponent launches an attack. Otherwise, the opponent will rush over at once. That thing is not easy to deal with. It has a large caliber of 12.7mm.  Who can stop the machine gun attack?" Simon Petliula said with a hint of panic in his voice.

    "Be patient, armored vehicles are not a problem. The many ditches, anti-tank trenches and barbed wire fences in front of our position were not prepared for nothing. The key is the posture of the enemy on the right. They seem to really want to capture Kharkov.  , not just a tentative attack!¡±

    "Then what are we waiting for? Your Majesty General, we have to strike first." "Man, before the enemy on the right wing attacks, we disrupt their deployment with violent artillery fire.  Due to the defensive pressure on our right-wing position, the opponent may not be able to organize an offensive at all after the opponent's position is in chaos!" Ukrainian Prime Minister, Defense Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the National Army Simon Petliura is obviously in high spirits. The stability of the left-wing front has made  This Lord has become much more courageous.

    Sven von Neuhaus, deputy chief of staff of the former enemy headquarters of the German-Ukrainian Allied Forces and commander of the 47th German Reserve Infantry Division, frowned when he heard this. He turned to look at the leader of Ukraine and said, "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, the one who has embarrassed me is not yet here."  The enemy's artillery position was discovered. At this moment, we only have 20 cannons in Kharkiv. Good steel must be used on the blade. After the first intensive firing, our artillery must move as quickly as possible, otherwise it will become  The opponent¡¯s artillery and air force are just a snack!¡±

    Simon Petliura was stunned when he heard this, and then waved his arms even more excitedly and shouted, "Sir, General, I admit that I was anxious to invest artillery on the left wing to support our defense line. It was a bit too hasty due to lack of consideration, but  Look, the enemy's left-wing offensive force in "Beiyang 1917 Chapter 720 (2) When you meet an opponent in chess you will meet a good talent" is now suppressed by us. At this time, their mortars have burned out their shells and turned into fire.  Sorry, in such a passive situation, the coalition's rear artillery did not fire. What does this mean?

    This means that the opponent's artillery force is still far behind the group and has not arrived at the battlefield in time. Now the bomber group of the Allied Air Force has also returned. Isn't this the best moment for us to take advantage of our artillery fire?  !  Why are you hesitating? Let¡¯s fire right away?  First beat the armored troops assembled on the opponent's right wing to pieces!  "The Ukrainian Prime Minister obviously believes that he has seen the dawn of victory in this battle.

    For Sven von Neuhaus, 20 cannons were the biggest barrier for him to defend the northern suburbs of Kharkov for the Ukrainians. The enemy¡¯s air force¡¯s air strikes were certainly terrifying, but the air force¡¯s sorties and the duration of the air strikes were  The aerial bombs carried by a bomber can be consumed in half a minute, but a heavy artillery fire can fire at least 68 large-caliber grenades in one minute. A well-trained  The artillery unit can burn out a base number of artillery shells within ten minutes. The durability and comprehensive power of the artillery are much stronger than the air strikes of the "Beiyang 1917" light bomber.

    The German major general originally hoped to use his heavy artillery to annihilate the coalition's artillery positions. The reason why the reconnaissance battalion sent three fire line reconnaissance teams was to try to figure out the location of the enemy's artillery positions. If the specific coordinates of the opponent's artillery positions could be obtained in advance,  Then our own artilleryA preemptive strike will achieve the greatest results. Knocking out the opponent's artillery means that your own artillery will not be counterattacked and threatened by the opponent's artillery fire for a period of time. At that time, you will be able to deal with the opponent's infantry with ease.  No scruples, just beat him as much as you want!

    Now that Simon Petliura urged him, Major General Sven von Neuhaus thought for a while and finally decided to use artillery firepower. However, the German Major General did not suppress the two 4 or 500 meters in front of the left-wing position to the north.  A federal infantry battalion was the first target, and his focus was still on the right wing. Since the opponent was going to invest armored troops, it was obvious that the left wing attacking in advance was probably just to contain and divert attention.

    "Well, Your Excellency Petliura, in this case, it is not a problem to continue to delay. Pass my order. The left wing position will continue to use machine guns and mortars to suppress the two infantry battalions of the opponent, focusing on mortars."  Artillery fire on the opponent's machine gun fire points, and at the same time mobilize an infantry battalion from the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Volunteer Division to strengthen the left defense line!

    The 1st and 2nd companies of the Volunteer Artillery entered the battle, targeting the coalition armored forces and the three infantry battalions assembled 2,000 meters in front of the right-wing position. After firing continuously for 3 minutes at the maximum rate of fire, they then turned to attack the two left-wing troops.  A federal infantry battalion that was suppressed by us also fired rapidly for 3 minutes, and then it had to move to the reserve position as quickly as possible!  The anti-aircraft artillery battalion in the northern city of Kharkiv is preparing for air defense operations to suppress the opponent's SE5 fighter squadron's attack on our artillery unit!  ".
