    In this time and space of 1918, the artillery establishment of each division of the Japanese Army was also gradually growing and improving. As far as artillery is concerned, the Japanese 3rd Army and 1st Army, which participated in the Allied Powers on the Eastern Front, each division within the establishment  The regiment has a ** field heavy artillery regiment and a field artillery regiment. The former is responsible for 24 150mm heavy howitzers, and the latter is responsible for 48 75mm mountain field guns, including 1 75mm mountain artillery brigade and 3 75mm field artillery units.  Brigade.

    The ratio of 75mm mountain artillery in the Japanese field artillery wing was originally three 75mm mountain artillery battalions and one 75mm field artillery battalion. However, according to the suggestion of the Allied Commander-in-Chief Wang Geng, especially after the Allied Forces began to equip Chinese-made 37mm anti-aircraft guns/anti-tanks  After the cannon, the number of mountain guns with low ballistic projections for flat firing was greatly reduced. Instead, the number of 75mm field artillery brigades with longer range and curved firing increased.  ¡¾¡¿ Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!

    As for the Chinese participating armies, it was even more straightforward. In the later period, the 75mm mountain artillery battalion was directly canceled in the artillery regiment under the jurisdiction of the infantry mixed brigade, and all were replaced by 75mm field guns and 37mm anti-aircraft/anti-tank guns. In fact, the use of high-explosive grenades and  The 37mm anti-aircraft cannon with armor-piercing projectiles is almost more powerful than the 75mm mountain cannon when it is used as an anti-tank cannon. The power of a single shot of the mountain cannon is naturally a little stronger, but it cannot withstand the 37mm anti-aircraft cannon, anti-tank cannon or door rapid-fire cannon.  Explosive grenades shoot like butterflies in rapid fire, and their power when fired in rapid succession is quite impressive!  ""Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!

    "I don't see a chance. Unless the division commander, Lieutenant General Tong Ting, takes personal command, the division will not easily disperse the artillery regiments. Moreover, when we took a circuitous route, due to the restrictions of the road terrain, we were afraid of delaying the entire unit's progress.  The advance was so fast that the artillery regiment was not assigned to fight. The division commander had prepared early in the morning for the field artillery regiment and the ** Field Heavy Artillery Regiment to advance southward along the railways and highways. Otherwise, it would be easy to get stuck in the riverside and forest wetlands and be delayed.  Marching speed!¡±

    July 30, 1918 18:00 Japanese Infantry 23rd Brigade Headquarters in the forest 7 kilometers northeast of Kharkiv

    "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, according to the report from the former enemy headquarters, the 13th Federal Infantry Division's attack on Kharkov City in the afternoon was thwarted. I see that the 18th Infantry Regiment of the Kikuchi Brigade has been half disabled. It seems that,  The important task of taking Kharkov finally belongs to our heroic 23rd Infantry Brigade!" Colonel Takagi Yoshinari, Chief of Staff of the 23rd Infantry Brigade, hurriedly walked into the brigade with a newly received enemy situation report!  The big tent of the regiment headquarters.

    Major General Muto Nobuyoshi, commander of the 23rd Infantry Brigade of the 3rd Infantry Division of Japan, turned around from the map spread on the pony, rubbed his head and sighed, "Takagi-kun, don't be careless. In the forest, Emirates Masakoshi  We all went to see the battlefield where the 18th Infantry Brigade fought with the Ukrainians. To put it bluntly, if a small unit of the Chinese Communist Party had not penetrated to the other side of the Kharkov River and destroyed the artillery position of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division,  , Ezaki Masagano, let alone defeat the Ukrainians, I think he has to be defeated by others, this Ukrainian idiot is still very capable of fighting even if he doesn't care about his life! "

    "Yes yes, the brigade commander said yes. The former enemy headquarters asked us in the telegram to rush to the north of Kharkov overnight, that is, behind the 13th Volga Federal Infantry Division, and prepare to take over from the Voronezh division. Early tomorrow morning  Launch an attack on Kharkov. At that time, the division's ** Field Artillery Regiment and Field Artillery Regiment will strengthen our brigade, in order to avenge the shame and deal a fatal blow to the defenders of Kharkov!  "As he spoke, brigade commander Takagi handed over the telegram in his hand.

    Muto Nobuyoshi is the chief of the saber group who graduated from the 13th batch of the mainland. This guy is always aggressive and arrogant in front of his own and his brothers' generals.  Appearing as a strategist with superhuman intelligence, he has always led troops well, but he is not a master who blindly acts recklessly.

    Muto Nobuyoshi is a native of Saga Prefecture and a "Russian expert".  The second son of Muto Nobunao, a lord of the Saga Domain.  Born on September 1, 1868, he studied at Saga Normal School and later joined the Army Teaching Corps.  On July 23, 1892, he graduated from the 3rd Infantry Section of the Army Non-commissioned Officer School and was awarded the rank of Infantry Second Lieutenant on March 13 of the following year.  He was attached to the 24th Infantry Regiment and served as the squad leader of the 24th Infantry Regiment during the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War.

    On December 21, 1899, Nobuyoshi Muto graduated from the 13th class (chief) of Army University.  Received a sword as a gift from the Emperor.  Then he served as an official in the General Staff Headquarters, and later went to Vladivostok, Odessa and other places in Tsarist Russia to study military affairs. He was a member of the General Staff Headquarters. During the Russo-Japanese War, he served as staff officer of the Guards Division and Yalu River Army.

    Later, as a Russian official, he served as the auxiliary attach¨¦ to the Tsarist Russian Legation, a member of the General Staff Headquarters, the head of the European and American Section of the General Staff Headquarters, the captain of the 4th Guards Infantry Regiment, and the chief of the Operations Section of the General Staff Headquarters. On May 2, 1916, he was promoted to Army Major General.  He has served as the commander of the 23rd Infantry Brigade until now.

    In Wang Geng¡¯s previous life, Muto Nobuyoshi later became the Japanese Army Field Marshal. He was the most powerful leader of the Japanese Army in the Taisho era. He once led the 40,000 Kwantung Army to occupy the four northeastern provinces, and defeated 20 Chinese divisions along the Great Wall, forcing ChinaThe government actually recognized the separation of Manchuria.  Hailed by the Japanese as the patron saint of Manchuria, Nobuyoshi Muto was the last general to be promoted during the Taisho era and was awarded the title of marshal in 1933. He was also the first person to aspire to the title of marshal in 12 years after Uehara was granted the title of marshal in 1921.

    Major General Muto, who will celebrate his 50th birthday in a month, is an out-and-out young man among Japan's main divisions. The chief graduate of the Mainland Army Saber has had a smooth career in the past 20 years.  Muto Nobuyoshi, who has emerged in the war, was promoted to major general and served as the brigade commander of the 23rd Infantry Brigade at the age of 48. It is not an achievement that everyone can achieve. After all, the Japanese Army lacked personnel for 12 years after the Russo-Japanese War.  There are a total of 17 Japanese divisions and 34 infantry brigades in the land of Wu. Muto can be proud of being the major general brigade commander of an ace division like the 3rd Division!

    "Huh? So, the division commander, Mr. Oba, is going to come to the front line to command in person?" Muto Nobuyoshi grabbed the telegram and read it twice. He found that the division commander, Mr. Oba Jiro, obviously couldn't sit still. The division head who will lead the 3rd Division will have an early morning tomorrow.  Arrive at the front line by train and personally direct the Central Army's offensive against Kharkov!  Taro Utsunomiya and Shunroku Hata still commanded the overall situation from the former enemy headquarters on the first line of defense on the northern occupied Ukrainian border.
