    July 21, 1918: 7 kilometers north of Kharkiv on March 30, the 3rd Regiment Headquarters of the Du1i Field Heavy Artillery Regiment of the Japanese 3rd Division

    "Report to the regimental commander! The 5th Infantry Brigade Headquarters has repeatedly urged us to use heavy artillery to suppress and destroy the Ukrainian artillery positions in Kharkiv!" Captain Kanazaki Yumeo of the 3rd Regiment of du1i Field Heavy Artillery covered his hands.  The microphone inside reported quietly.  high

    "Asshole, do you think I won't suppress the Ukrainians without firing?! It wasn't Shinnosuke Kikuchi who reminded us to be careful of German heavy artillery attacks in Kharkov, and then suggested that we arrange artillery positions at a distance.  Is it at least 7 kilometers north of Erkov City? Call me for support now. I can't reach it! Tell him, we can't reach it! The artillery of the 3rd Regiment of Du1i Field Heavy Artillery can only fire at this moment.  When we reach the northern part of Kharkov, we cannot hit the Ukrainian artillery positions that are currently firing in the southern part of the city!¡±

    With his belly pinched and his waist pinched, the company commander Hashimoto Koji, who was holding a telescope at the entrance of the shelter and looking at the battlefield in the southwest with one hand, answered angrily: "Attachment to the company!"

    "Compared with the Japanese 75mm caliber Type 38 field gun, which has first-class performance and performance, the 24 Taisho 4-year-old 15omm heavy howitzers equipped by the 3rd Regiment of the Japanese 3rd Division Du1i Field Heavy Artillery are better  It's a bit unsatisfactory,

    In Wang Geng's previous life, only 28o of the four-year-old 15-centimeter heavy howitzer developed by the Osaka Artillery Factory were produced. It was also intended to be used in the 11i Field Heavy Artillery Regiment as a replacement for the 38-type 15-centimeter howitzer.  product, but Japan's four-year-old 15-centimeter heavy howitzer made its debut in Japan's capture of Qingdao shortly after the start of the European War. This heavy artillery performed well and beat the Germans in Qingdao to a pulp.

    The divisional heavy artillery regiment of the Chinese participating army was equipped and used the same Japanese four-year-old 15-centimeter heavy howitzer. However, in the later period, due to insufficient production capacity of the Japanese Osaka artillery factory, the Japanese 6th Military Headquarters had to agree with Wang  Geng's participating armies introduced and imitated this cannon. Most of all Chinese participating armies used Chinese-made 15omm heavy howitzers.

    As the standard equipment of the heavy artillery of the infantry division, the power and lethality of the four-year-old Type 10" five-centimeter heavy howitzer is by no means weaker than the French and German howitzers of the same caliber. This Japanese-made  The shortcomings of the gun are: 1. It is too heavy. The whole gun weighs 2797 kilograms, which is 662 kilograms more than the 2135 kilograms of the German 1913 15omm heavy field howitzer.

    2. The firing range is not far enough. The firing range of this 15omm heavy howitzer designed by Japan is 88oo meters. Although it is 3oo meters farther than the 85oo meters of the German 1913 15omm heavy field howitzer, it is less than 9 kilometers.  The range of fire makes the feet of this heavy cannon a bit short.

    3. The horizontal adjustment angle of my gun is only 3 degrees, which is much worse than the 5 degrees of the German 15omm heavy field howitzer in 1913, and cannot be compared with the 7 degrees of the German 15omm heavy field howitzer in 1917.  This makes the Japanese army's cannon often have to move the entire cannon instead of just the barrel when adjusting its left and right horizontal orientation.

    The maximum firing range of 8800 meters allows the artillery fire of the 3rd Regiment of the Japanese Du1i Field Heavy Artillery, which is located 6 kilometers north of Kharkov City, to only cover about 3 kilometers of the northern city of Kharkov. However, the Ukrainians  I will shoot the 75mm that Zhenghuan is using now. "Beiyang 1917 Chapter 733 (The Fourth Artillery Brigade was completely destroyed." The position of the Krupp Field Artillery Battalion happens to be in the southern part of Kharkov. You must know that Kharkov  The width of Fu Old City from east to west is nearly eight kilometers, while the depth from north to south is more than ten kilometers.

    In fact, the weight of the four-year-old 15omm heavy howitzer imitated and produced by China has been reduced to 2200 kilograms, and the horizontal angle has been expanded to 6 degrees. However, as the 3rd Division of Japan's Class A Division, the equipment is original.  The original four-year-old 15omm heavy howitzer produced by Japan's Osaka Artillery Factory is still a behemoth with a horizontal angle of 3 degrees and a weight of 2797 kilograms.

    "Why don't you ask the division's field artillery wing to open fire? Their position is behind the 13th Volga Federal Infantry Division, which is more than 1 kilometer closer than us. The mountain artillery can't fire. The shooting of the 75mm Type 38 field artillery  The distance is 8500 meters, so we should be able to reach the Ukrainian artillery positions in the city, right?" Du1i Field Heavy Artillery Regiment Captain Hashimoto Koji shouted at his regiment.

    "Captain, the cannons of the Field Artillery Regiment were transported by train, but the train wagons they used to transport the ammunition were still stranded behind. It was you who said that our 15mm heavy howitzer guns should be transported over first "Beiyang 1917", so  , the medicine of the Field Artillery Regiment was originally planned to be in place at 10 o'clock tonight At this moment At this moment, Colonel Tanaka and Wang, the captain of the 3rd Field Artillery Regiment, are still jumping with both feet. Who knows that the Germans are jumping!  Is this a counterattack?" Captain Kanazaki Mengsheng explained.

    Colonel Hashimoto Koji, the commander of the regiment, was suffocated when he heard this. In the end, he took a few steps to Captain Kanazaki, grabbed the phone, and shouted to Colonel Ogawa Kasumi, chief of staff of the 5th Infantry Brigade, who was waiting for a reply,

    "Ogawa-kun, please tell your Excellency, Commander Kikuchi Brigade, whether my d1i Field Heavy Artillery Regiment is sufficient due to its firing schedule.?The Ukrainian artillery battalion is located in the southern city of Kharkiv. The enemy's artillery cannot reach the artillery brigade position of the 6th Infantry Regiment anyway. It is recommended that he stick to the current style of play. The Germans do not have many troops. They will hold on for a while.  The opponent might have withdrawn, and suggested that he deploy the Chinese armored battalions to wrap up the German dumplings from both sides. At this time, the German heavy artillery did not fire. The artillery of the du1i Field Heavy Artillery Regiment could not fire before the enemy if they wanted to follow up!  "

    While Colonel Hashimoto was taking care of his responsibilities, he was making suggestions for the Infantry "Entertainment Show" 5th Brigade, trying to appease Colonel Ogawa Kasumi, who was already quite ugly on the phone.

    July 3ori21, 1918: 3o Kharkov North Battlefield

    If German Major General von Neuhaus originally just wanted to lure the snake out of its hole and kill the coalition artillery again, then his plan failed this time. When the artillery on both sides held back their strength but did not take action, they eventually became  The only trophies of the Kharkiv artillery unit were the artillery brigade of the 6th Infantry Regiment of the 5th Japanese Infantry Brigade.

    As the 1o5mm light howitzer battalion of the 3rd Ukrainian Infantry Division Artillery Regiment in Kharkiv opened fire, 8 75mm Type 38 field guns from 2 artillery squadrons commanded by Major Ryota Isokawa, captain of the 6th Artillery Battalion, were lost.  With the opportunity first, they were beaten to pieces by the Ukrainians' dense and accurate 1o5mm light howitzers.
