Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The 13th Volga Federal Infantry Division was ordered to launch an offensive in the afternoon. In the end, the offensive troops retreated in overwhelming numbers to their starting positions to hide and continue to repair the fortifications. For unknown reasons, the German heavy artillery hit Voronezh with a heavy blow.  After the remaining 24 75mm field guns of the artillery regiment were defeated, they did not continue to bombard the retreating federal infantry, but unexpectedly became quiet.

    Obviously, the German Major General Sven von Neuhaus was indeed not a simple leader. It was precisely because he decisively ordered the German heavy artillery to stop firing and move positions after defeating the artillery of the Volga Federal Infantry Division in front of them that the Volga Federal Infantry  The artillery of the Chinese Armored Regiment on the left and right wings of the 13th Division and the artillery of the 6th Infantry Regiment of Shinnosuke Kikuchi gave up and joined the battle for a counterattack!

    Although the Japanese 6th Infantry Regiment on the right wing of the 13th Volga Federal Infantry Division only has one artillery brigade with eight 75mm Type 38 field guns, the artillery company under the control of the Chinese Lu Huanyan Armored Regiment on the left wing only has six 75mm Type 38 guns.  It is a field artillery, but as the saying goes, if you suddenly join the battle and open fire "the chapter is updated the fastest" as the saying goes, the German heavy artillery that is having fun will be defeated if it cannot react when the time comes.

    In fact, although the two 75mm artillery battalions of the Voronezh Artillery Regiment suffered heavy casualties, they still knocked out three German 150mm heavy guns in the artillery battle. Of course, the two artillery battalions and six artillery batteries of the 13th Infantry Division fought this battle.  Afterwards, only the three 75mm field guns on the two wings of the pitiful position were still intact after being transferred in time. The casualty ratio of the federal gunners even exceeded that of the two infantry regiments in the front-line attack.

    The 24 75mm field guns of the Federal Infantry and Artillery Regiment lost the opportunity to fight against the opponent's 8 150mm heavy howitzers. Although the result was a one-sided 3:21, the sacrifice of the artillerymen obviously contributed to the six battalions and the two infantry regiments that went into the attack.  The necessary conditions were created for the 10 wheeled armored combat vehicles to withdraw to their starting positions.

    When the afternoon battle came to an end in the smoke, the 13th Division of the Volga Federation on the attacking side lost almost 33 75mm field guns. The 51st Infantry Regiment responsible for the right-wing attack suffered more than 400 casualties, and the 49th Infantry Regiment responsible for the left-wing attack suffered casualties.  There were more than 300 people, and the artillery regiment suffered more than 600 casualties.

    ¡°¡±The German-Ukrainian forces on the defensive side lost 8 75mm field guns and 7 150mm heavy howitzers. The infantry casualties on the defensive wings were 600 and 500 respectively, and the artillery lost nearly 300 people.

    ????????? Barely speaking, the two sides ended up in a tie!

    July 30, 1918 16:45 Former enemy headquarters of the Allied Forces Southwest Front Central Route Army on the Ukrainian border

    "Reporting to your Excellency, Commander, there is a call from the 13th Infantry Division of the Volga Federation. They have deployed two infantry regiments to launch an attack on Kharkov. Although a large number of enemies were annihilated, they were unable to break through the north of Kharkov city.  The circular defense line has caused heavy casualties among the troops. Now they have turned to rest and stalemate on the spot. The 13th Infantry Division suffered more than 1,300 casualties. The two artillery battalions of the division's artillery regiment were almost completely destroyed and only three 75mm field guns were left. This battle is estimated to be  We wiped out more than 1,200 enemies and destroyed about two 75mm field artillery batteries and two 150mm howitzer batteries!¡±

    A Japanese combat staff officer with the rank of captain sent the latest battle report. The telephone line "Beiyang 1917 Chapter 724 (2) Tied" had just been opened at this time, but this battle report  But it was the 13th Federal Infantry Division that sent it in an encrypted emergency message. At the same time, it copied the message to Lieutenant General Skistepin of the Federal Voronezh Group Army who was stationed in the Voronezh base camp. Of course, it also copied the message to the Eastern Front of the Allied Powers in Samara.  Allied Forces Headquarters.

    "Reporting to Your Excellency, Commander, Lieutenant General Huang Jingbo from the Belgorod Allied Air Force Frontline Command sent a message that his 1st Fighter-Bomber Wing is still resting and replenishing at the Voronezh base, and the 1st Fighter-Bomber Wing that is guarding the Belgorod forward base  The 2nd Fighter-Bomber Wing is exhausted after two consecutive days of operations, and the ammunition reserves at the Belgorod forward base have been severely consumed. The aviation fleet will not be able to continue until the coalition aviation logistics supply train arrives tonight.  Massive dispatch and air strikes!¡±

    A Chinese liaison staff officer from the Allied Frontline Air Force with the rank of captain who was stationed at the former enemy headquarters of the Southwest Front Army's Central Route Army hurriedly came in to report. His proficient Japanese was not much worse than other Japanese staff officers in the headquarters.

    "Sogarthe 13th Federal Infantry Division's "Beiyang 1917" attack was thwartedthe air force was unable to continue dispatching tonightChief of Staff Hata, Lieutenant General Oba, it seems that the results of the Central Route Army on the first day of the war were not satisfactory! But!  It¡¯s so frustrating" Army General Taro Utsunomiya, deputy commander of the Allied Forces on the Eastern Front, commander of the Japanese 3rd Army, commander of the Allied Southwest Front, and commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian campaign, scratched his bald forehead and paced back and forth.  , said slightly bitterly.

    "Your Excellency, Commander, hasn't the 13th Federal Infantry Division already interrogated the captured German scouts? The main German army in Kharkov only has one reserve infantry regiment stationed in the southern suburbs to guard Kharkov.The defense line in Cov City and the northern suburbs only has the strength of two Ukrainian volunteer infantry divisions. I think the Voronezh guy's team of converted Soviet prisoners of war is not very effective. His four 75mm field artillery batteries are  It was defeated by two 150mm heavy howitzer batteries!

    And why didn¡¯t he put the entire 13th Infantry Division into the attack?  Of course there is no advantage in using one group to beat another's group!  Simply pull up my ** Heavy Artillery Regiment of the 3rd Division. I will personally go to the front line to supervise the battle and let Major General Muto Nobuyoshi's infantry "" 23rd Brigade attack overnight. We will definitely be able to capture Hal before dawn tomorrow.  Cove!  "Lieutenant General Erlang Tashiba, commander of the Japanese 3rd Division, yelled with his neck twitching and his face flushed.

    "Let Muto's 23rd Infantry Brigade attack overnight? Soga let me think about it" Taro Utsunomiya scratched his head. If Kharkov is really as the captured German scout said,  , if there are only two second-line volunteer divisions of the Ukrainian National Army and a German infantry regiment defending, obviously taking Kharkov in one go is not a feasible strategy, but the first-line troops approaching Kharkov  They have been fighting hard for a day, and the front of the troops is blunt. It is obviously not enough to continue the attack.

    "Your Excellency Commander, Your Excellency Da Ting, I think the idea of ??continuing the attack overnight is too radical!"
