Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Kharkiv Volunteer Division was originally composed of local citizens of Kharkiv and farmers from the suburbs. They are familiar with the terrain. I think that if they are attacked at night, they will be stronger and the victory will be greater!  "

    As soon as von Fran?ois said this, Simon Petliura's expression suddenly changed, and he said in a confused voice, "What, Your Excellency, the General Commander, our Kharkov city defense is empty, the second volunteer  Although the division did not participate in the ground battle during the day, they were too exhausted to attack lightly. If these bastards really let them out of the city, you know that many of the soldiers turned out to be farmers from the suburbs of Kharkov. They might just run home first.  It¡¯s possible to see what¡¯s going on at home!¡± [ ] Please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster updates!

    "Are you afraid that they will become deserters? Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you can rest assured. Tie them with a rope before setting off. If the soldiers run away and shoot the squad leader, the squad leader runs away and shoots the platoon leader, the platoon leader runs away and shoots the company commander, and so on. Who do I see?  You dare to leave the team without authorization and become a deserter!" German Major General von Neuhaus said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

    "Hey, look at what you said, Your Excellency Major General, the Volunteer Division has been established for a short time, and many people still lack the concept of troops and discipline. We, the local people in this hometown, cannot be ruthless. Let me tell you, the equipment and equipment of our Volunteer Division  The combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of your German army. This night attack requires a bold and skilled main force to attack. Unfortunately, my 1st Infantry Division collapsed, the 2nd Division was also disorganized and could not take the battle for a while, and the 3rd and 4th Divisions  They are all too far away, otherwise, it would be no problem for me to personally lead a main regiment of the Ukrainian National Army to cooperate with your 139th Infantry Regiment in a night attack!" "Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!

    Simon Petliura was obviously worried about letting his troops follow the German night attack in the dark. Not to mention that these suburban farmers accounted for a large proportion of the volunteer division's troops. If a regiment was sent out of the city in the dark,  , maybe I can really run home and it¡¯s still unclear.

    July 30, 1918 17:30 Headquarters of the 1st Armored Regiment of the Allied Forces, 5 kilometers northeast of Kharkiv

    "Reporting to the regimental commander, the 13th Federal Infantry Division failed in its attack on Kharkov. Our company is short of fuel and ammunition. After discussion, the 13th Infantry Division asked us to withdraw and replenish our supplies! However, the Voronezh Division Commander said that the infantry battalion of the 13th Infantry Division  You can continue to stay in our regiment to assist us in fighting!" The person who broke in and reported was Wang Tingxue, commander of the 4th Company of the 1st Armored Battalion. In the afternoon, the young armored captain brought his armored company to cooperate with the 3rd Federal Infantry Division in the middle.  Erkov's left-wing position was attacked, and now it was finally fully restored!

    The commander of the armored regiment, Lu Huanyan, had a smile on his face. He went up and punched the captain, whose name sounded a bit refined and delicate, and said, "Good boy, I was really sweating this afternoon. I didn't expect Germany."  The human heavy artillery is so concealed and powerful, and it suddenly opened fire when our air force returned. I was worried that your company's tanks would not be able to withdraw. How many vehicles were lost? "

    "Four were injured, all minor injuries. They were injured by the near-missile grenade fired by the opponent's 75mm field artillery, which exploded and concussed in the car. It's not a big problem. All ten cars were driven back, but one was towed back.  , the chassis is damaged and it is estimated that it needs major repairs. The most important thing is that the fuel and machine gun bullets are consumed too much. The logistics of the 13th Federal Infantry Division do not have the 12.7mm large-caliber M2 machine gun bullets. Please ask the commander to instruct my company on the next move.  !¡±

    Wang Tingxue, the commander of the 4th Armored Company, stood at attention and looked as if he had escaped the heavy artillery bombardment of the Germans this afternoon. This Chinese captain with a gentle and feminine name and his company did not take it too seriously.

    "Company Commander 4, why are you so anxious? You haven't reported to the commander the specific situation of your attack in the afternoon. Is the combat effectiveness of the 13th Federal Infantry Division reliable? I heard that the defenders on the opposite side are only Ukrainian volunteer troops. Compared with  The main force of their Ukrainian National Army is far inferior to that of the German army. Why didn't you rush up and occupy the position? "

    The speaker was Major Tao Dayong, the commander of the 1st Armored Battalion who had just entered the door, Wang Tingxue's immediate boss. In today's battle, Tao Dayong's 1st Battalion was evenly matched with Li Shang's 3rd Battalion. Tao Dayong led the Armored 3rd Battalion.  The 1st Battalion and 1st Company ate up the main force of the divisional cavalry reconnaissance battalion of the 1st Infantry Division of the Ukrainian National Army, and Fu Erzhu's 2nd Company, under the command of Xue Juru, commander of the regiment's armored reconnaissance company, swam deep behind enemy lines and crossed the Kharkov River  , in conjunction with two air strikes by the aviation team, the artillery position of the 1st Milevsky Infantry Division was destroyed in one fell swoop, laying the foundation for the hard-fought victory of the 18th Infantry Regiment of Japan.

    Of course, the record of Li Shang's 3rd Armored Battalion was not ambiguous at all. The 3 main infantry regiments of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division were beaten by 3 armored companies. They held their heads and clung to their positions and were passively beaten. They successively annihilated the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division.  Not counting the approximately 4 companies of the division, they finally wiped out the two main infantry battalions of the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Ukrainian Infantry Division that came for reinforcements. Therefore, the record and contribution of Li Shang's 3rd Armored BattalionThe 1st Battalion is not much worse.

    If the 3rd Armored Battalion had not been too tired from continuous operations, the original task of supporting the offensive of the 13th Volga Federal Infantry Division would not have fallen into the hands of Tao Dayong's 1st Battalion. Fortunately, the steel knife of the 4th Company of the 1st Battalion would not have been able to do so.  It's vague. After fighting back and forth on the battlefield filled with artillery fire for most of the day, the 49th Infantry Regiment, which had safely covered the left attack of the 13th Infantry Division, withdrew to its starting position. If it weren't for the excessive consumption of fuel and ammunition, Voronezh might not have been willing to do so.  It is easy to release the 10 fd17ii wheeled armored fighting vehicles of Wang Tingxue's 4th Armored Company.

    But if Lu Huanyan really wants to please people, Liukin Alexeevich Voronezh can't stop him. When he asked this guy to borrow troops, he agreed to lend them an afternoon to attack.  ?

    "The next task is not urgent. The first step is of course rest and replenishment. Ask the machine repair platoon to quickly take a look at your precious tank. It is best if it can be repaired on the front line! Captain Wang, tell me about the characteristics of Kharkov's city defense.  ? We also looked through the telescope in the afternoon, and the opponent's troops on the front line don't seem to be very strong. Why can't you rush forward?" Regiment leader Lu Huanyan motioned to Wang Tingxue to sit down at the table and asked the orderly soldiers.  He brought a teapot and handed it over.

    Here Wang Tingxue first saluted Tao Dayong, the battalion commander who came in later, and then honestly took the teapot handed over by the regiment leader, took a gulp of it, wiped his mouth, and continued:
