- Von Neuhaus finally decided to use the artillery unit. Of course, he still had a hand in hand. The medium artillery battalion of the 47th German Reserve Infantry Division, equipped with 12 150mm Krupp heavy howitzers, was still on standby and not engaged in battle. This was Germany's The last trump card in the hands of the major general was as a last resort to counterattack the opponent's artillery. Although von Neuhaus gave up the attempt to preemptively attack the enemy's artillery, he used the artillery batteries of two volunteer divisions to preemptively bombard the opponent's right-wing armored forces and The infantry, if the opponent's concealed artillery counterattacks, will become a meal for the German army's 12 150mm Krupp heavy howitzers!
As the saying goes, the mantis swoops at the cicada and the oriole follows, which is actually a clever move to lure the snake into action. Otherwise, if the artillerymen on both sides were to keep their heads down and play false psychological tactics, their own artillerymen would be able to withstand it, but the Ukrainian Volunteer Division guards The soldiers in the position and the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian National Army next to them probably couldn't keep calm. §êw§ë
The medium artillery battalion of the 47th German Reserve Infantry Division is equipped with the 1913 150mm heavy field howitzer. Although Major General Sven von Neuhaus's troops are the main division of the 29th German Infantry Corps, Hermann von Franso The 29th Infantry Corps commanded by General Watt is itself an army composed of three reserve infantry divisions. The latest 1917 150mm heavy field howitzer naturally gave priority to equipping the main forces on the Western Front rather than the reserve infantry divisions on the Eastern Front.
At this moment, the performance parameters of these 12 1913 heavy field howitzers scattered and ambushed in various hidden positions in Kharkiv are of course quite good, as follows:
1913 150mm heavy field howitzer
Year of production or service: 1914
Caliber: 149p; Barrel length: 14 times the caliber
High and low shooting range: -110 degrees ~ 4245 degrees
Horizontal shooting range: 5 degrees
Projectile weight: 42kg
? Ammunition muzzle velocity: 365m/sec
Weight: 2135kg
Maximum range: 8500m
The two 4-gun field artillery batteries of the Volunteer Division ordered by von Neuhaus to enter the battle were equipped with 8 75mm Krupp field guns. The specific performance is as follows:
1906/1912p; Year of production or service: 1906/1912
Caliber: p; Barrel length: 2p; High and low firing range: 12 degrees to 185 degrees
Horizontal shooting range: p; projectile weight: 65kg
Ammunition muzzle velocity: 510m/sec
Weight: g
Maximum range: p; At this moment, the eight 75mm Krupp field guns of the two Ukrainian volunteer division artillery companies are located in the first-line artillery position behind the building complex in the north of Kharkiv. They are all made of camouflage canvas. They were camouflaged and were also dispersedly arranged. There were irregular intervals between the eight guns. The distance between the guns was at least 2 or 300 meters. Although the combat effectiveness of the Ukrainian Volunteer Division was not strong, it could compete with the main infantry of the Ukrainian National Army. Like divisions, Ukraine's artillery troops are actually advanced arms trained by Germany.
Each gun on the artillery position has a wired telephone, and when necessary, it can be commanded with semaphores, bugles and whistles. Of course, the order of the artillery bombardment cannot be as neat as in the film and television works, firing one after another, but the command If the ministry gives an order, the artillery battery can fire within 30 seconds, and all eight guns can fire a round within 60 seconds!
As for whether it is possible to fight the enemy in front of the right-wing position for three minutes as von Neuhaus said in the order, it depends on whether the opponent has artillery ready to counterattack. Of course, as soon as the Ukrainian artillery in Kharkiv opens fire , it is difficult to say whether the se5 fighter squadron hovering in the sky can stand by and watch. Fortunately, the opponent has no other tricks except dive and strafing. The coalition se5 fighter squadron has four small 25kg aerial bombs hanging under the wings. It was fighting with them early in the morning. When the fr18 fighter-bomber group attacked the northern ring defense line of Kharkiv, they threw it away. At this moment, the sky under the wings was empty.
Therefore, the SE5 fighter squadron that the coalition forces are patrolling and monitoring in the sky above Kharkov can only dive and strafe if it wants to attack the ground. However, the 24 German anti-aircraft guns of a German 20mm anti-aircraft gun battalion remaining near Kharkov city are German anti-aircraft guns. The last resort used by the Ukrainian coalition forces to protect their artillery positions and cities. This German-made 20mm small-caliber anti-aircraft gun is of course very effective against the horizontal bombing of the coalition air force at an altitude of 3,000 meters. However, it can certainly be effective against coalition fighters that dive and straf at low altitudes threaten.
At the same time that the frontline headquarters of the German-Ukrainian forces issued the order to fire from the 75mm Krupp field artillery battery, the attack on the right-wing position of the coalition finally began. Ten wheeled armored fighting vehicles of the Chinese Armored Regiment were separated by about 200 meters each. meters, leading the Volga Federal infantry of 3 infantry battalions and 12 companies, launched an attack over a width of 2,000 meters.
Almost every wheeled combat vehicle is followed by an offensive skirmisher line formed by a company of infantry. The 12h on the rotating turret of the coalition fd17ii wheeled armored combat vehicle fires a hail of blazing bullets to suppress and harvest all moving and conspicuous targets within 2000 meters. , the 13th Volga Federal Rifle Division launched on its left flank and on the right flank of the Ukrainian positionThe attack is the real attack.
For the attacking 13th Voronezh Infantry Division, its artillery regiment has just arrived at the front line. It is now seizing the time to deploy artillery positions in the rear. If the left wing attack is not frustrated, the mortar shells of the 51st Infantry Regiment will use chimes. Logistics If it can't be sent here for a while, to be honest, Voronezh, commander of the 13th Federal Infantry Division, does not intend to start an attack on the opponent's right-wing defense line before his artillery position is ready.
Just as the German Major General von Neuhaus, who commanded the defense on the opposite side, judged, the 51st Regiment of the 26th Brigade of the 13th Volga Federal Infantry Division only committed 2 infantry battalions to attack the left flank of the defense line in the northern suburbs of Kharkov. More It is to attract the attention of the Kharkov defenders. Of course, it is better to rush forward, break through and occupy the enemy's position. Even if not, at least it can bring out the opponent's defense and firepower intensity.
To Voronezh's dismay, the Ukrainian troops defending their positions, like their own troops on the offensive, lacked artillery fire support. Both sides fought with machine guns and mortars, while the mortars of the 51st Federal Infantry Regiment The gunners were obviously a little carried away. Using their own mortars to clear out the opponent's heavy machine gun firepower points at fixed points outside the opponent's mortar range was correct. However, the gunners of the 13th Volga Federal Infantry Division used Chinese-made weapons. The mortar time is still short.
