    "Indeed otherwise the division's ** Field Heavy Artillery Regiment and Field Artillery Regiment would not be so readily strengthened for use by our brigade. Major General Kikuchi commanded the 5th Infantry Brigade Brigade Headquarters and the 6th Infantry Brigade.  The regiment is eyeing the northwest corner of Kharkov City. I estimate that it is unlikely that the 18th Infantry Regiment of Eizaki Shogo, which will be replenished tomorrow, will stay as the reserve of our brigade. Most of them  Major General Kikuchi will be asked to return to the army, otherwise the strength of the 5th Infantry Brigade will be too weak!"

    The Chief of Staff of the 23rd Infantry Brigade, Takagi Yoshinari, is also a native of Saga Prefecture. He is a fellow student of the serious brigade commander, Major General Nobuyoshi Muto. He graduated fifth in the 17th Saber Team of the University of Mainland China. If the brigade commander, Nobuyoshi Muto, can be further promoted  If he reaches the position of division commander, then Takagi is the best candidate to take over as the commander of the 23rd Infantry Brigade, and Colonel Takagi¡¯s goal is also very simple. First, he hopes that brigade commander Nobuyoshi Muto can be promoted as soon as possible, and second, he hopes that he  You can also be promoted to Army Major General before the age of 48 and personally command an infantry brigade!  ¡¾¡¿ Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!

    Of course, Takagi also knows that four days ago on July 26, Utsunomiya Taro, Shunroku Hata and the general of the 3rd Division, Samon, all together took the place of the 3rd Division Commander in Belgorod.  Jiro had a 54-year-old birthday party together. In other words, Lieutenant General Atari, the division commander, must be considered to be in the prime of life among the empire's lieutenant general division commanders. Muto Nobuyoshi had to skip his biggest competitor, the infantry.  It is obviously not that difficult for Major General Shinnosuke Kikuchi of the 5th Brigade to take over the position of commander of the 3rd Division.  ""Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!

    If the participation of the Japanese 3rd Army in the Eastern Front Allied Forces of the Allied Powers is the best opportunity for everyone to seek promotion and secure their career through military exploits, then the officers and soldiers of the Japanese 3rd Army who performed mediocrely in the Battle of Ufa and have no place to perform are all satisfied.  Jin wants to show off his skills in the Ukrainian campaign. After all, the Ukrainian campaign is almost tailor-made for the Japanese 3rd Army. For this purpose, the Southwest Front Army was also established, and the Chinese armored forces and the Federal Army were strengthened as auxiliary. Of course, the protagonist must be  The three main divisions of the direct lineage of Taro Utsunomiya and the Japanese 3rd Army!

    Since Lieutenant General Oba's Japanese 3rd Division serves as the main force of the center route army that takes the lead in attacking, victory is the only pursuit of the soldiers of the 3rd Division. Major General Shinnosuke Kikuchi's 5th Infantry Brigade has always been the 3rd Division.  The oldest main brigade, not to mention Kikuchi Shinnosuke himself is a senior from mainland China who graduated two classes earlier than Muto Nobuyoshi. Therefore, Muto Nobuyoshi and Takagi Yoshicheng are fully aware of the task of spearheading the front line of the Central Route Army and will definitely not be able to snatch it away.  With the help of Shinno Kikuchi, Muto always felt that Kikuchi's style was not tough enough at critical moments, and he was not decisive enough in commanding operations. He often likes to take one step at a time and wait until he has a perfect strategy before making any move.

    The characteristic of Muto is that he analyzes the enemy's situation in detail before the war, but once he makes up his mind to fight, the 23rd Infantry Brigade will definitely have the courage and determination to win the battle with gritted teeth!

    "Brigade Commander, the telegram said that the division's ** Field Heavy Artillery Regiment and Field Artillery Regiment will arrive at the front line tonight, and we are required to rush there overnight What to do, the troops are already exhausted  Our brigade has traveled more than 100 miles today. From here to the southwest to reach the railway line, we still have to walk at least ten kilometers!" Chief of Staff Takagi Yoshinari asked cautiously.

    Speaking of which, it was the decision of brigade commander Nobuyoshi Muto to camp before evening. Although the previous instruction from the enemy headquarters was to rush to the gates of Kharkov and prepare to join the battle, the attack of the 13th Federal Infantry Division was thwarted, especially by Kharkov.  The presence of German heavy artillery in Kharkov City frustrated the expectations of the Central Army to take advantage of the chaos to capture Kharkov City on the first day of the war. After the former enemy headquarters gave up its plan to attack Kharkov overnight, Muto Nobuyoshi  The major general ordered the camp immediately.

    In fact, the 23rd Infantry Brigade, which had been running around for a day, was already exhausted. As the main infantry brigade of the Japanese 3rd Division, which was a packhorse system, Muto Nobuyoshi's 23rd Infantry Brigade was responsible for the 7th Infantry Regiment and the Infantry Regiment.  The 19th Regiment is a standard infantry regiment of 3,818 personnel. In addition, the brigade headquarters has 75 communications and guard service personnel, plus a cavalry reconnaissance squadron of 220 personnel.

    The total strength of the entire 23rd Infantry Brigade is close to 8,000. The leader at this moment is the 7th Infantry Regiment commanded by Colonel Mizuno Taisuke. The 7th Infantry Regiment's camp is less than 1 kilometer away from the Chinese Armored Regiment in the south.  Position, and following the brigade headquarters operations was the 19th Infantry Regiment commanded by Colonel Arai Tatsuya, on both sides of the forest road about 1 kilometer north of the 7th Infantry Regiment.

    More than ten kilometers north of Muto Nobuyoshi's 23rd Infantry Brigade is the camping ground of the 18th Infantry Regiment of the 5th Infantry Brigade, Izaki Masato. Of course, whether it is Muto Nobuyoshi's 23rd Infantry Brigade or Hatizaki's  Zhenggang's 18th Infantry Regiment conscientiously arranged their camps on both sides of the main road in the Kharkov Forest. This forest road is considered the first.There is a lifeline, and there is an endless stream of people and vehicles. More than 30 large Dodge trucks from the Chinese Armored Regiment's engineer supply camp are now towing and transporting the German artillery captured by the Chinese on the east bank of the Kharkov River.

    "Why rush over there? The former enemy headquarters has given up the plan to attack Kharkov overnight, so of course we will camp on the spot and rest. The soles of the Imperial warriors' feet must have blisters. We have another 2 hours to go.  If that is the case, then the enemy's headquarters cannot know how dangerous it is if the enemy attacks at night."

    Muto Nobuyoshi said angrily, walking to the tent door and sticking his head out. On the forest road 100 meters away, roaring southward was a Dodge truck belonging to the Chinese Armored Regiment Logistics Troops. The headlights were on.  It's dazzling to see that the one-and-a-half-ton Dodge military trucks behind them are all German-made 105mm Krupp howitzers captured by the Chinese. Japanese soldiers on the roadside are eating dinner from lunch boxes in twos and threes.  , while discussing the powerful performance of the Chinese armored forces.

    "Brigade commander, the Chinese only sent one company, but with the cooperation of the aviation team, they actually overran the position of an artillery regiment of the opponent. Not only did they capture hundreds of Ukrainian gunners, but they also surrendered so many brand-new cannons It's really awesome  ¡­lucky you!
