    The full text is available in Century Chinese (.) Returning to the army means losing the coordinated operations of the Chinese armored forces. Masago Eizaki, who has already tasted the benefits, obviously regards Lu Huanyan and his armored forces as the backbone, and then returns to the commander of the Kikuchi brigade.  Being a second-rate and unpopular master, Ezaki Masako himself was not willing to do so.

    Although Takagi Yoshinari is so crowded with Ogawa and Kikuchi, he actually wishes that the 5th Infantry Brigade would choose to return the Infantry Regiment of Izaki Masago and give up the Chinese Armored Battalion. In this case, the 5th Infantry Brigade would  The combat effectiveness of the brigade will inevitably be weakened, so the next stage will be to see the 23rd Infantry Brigade, which has been strengthened with Chinese armor and artillery, show its talents.

    Secondly, as long as the strength of the Lu Huanyan Armored Regiment Headquarters is restored and the left wing position is ensured, then the Armored 3rd Battalion and Du1i Artillery Battalion, which were reinforced to the 23rd Infantry Brigade, will have no worries and will not be recalled to the Armored Regiment Headquarters in a matter of minutes.

    As for Lu Huanyan, this guy is obviously not only to maintain a balance between the two Japanese infantry brigades in the Central Army, but also to send a favor to Muto Nobuyoshi. What's more, the armored troops are used to attack the city. Obviously  It is better to use it for field combat and maneuverability. The victory or defeat of the battle in Kharkov lies outside the city rather than inside the city. The key lies in the main force of the German-Ukrainian coalition rather than the volunteer infantry division inside the city!

    July 3ori22, 1918: 3o Entente Allied Forces Command in Samara

    "Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, I have just received a telegram from the former enemy headquarters of the Central Route Army. An hour and a half ago, the German-Ukrainian forces defending Kharkov dispatched the German army to strengthen the infantry regiment to counterattack, and attacked the position of the 5th Japanese Infantry Brigade at night.  The German-Ukrainian forces in the city were reinforced by artillery. During the night attack, the opponent used artillery from three 75mm Krupp field artillery battalions and one 1o5mm light field howitzer battalion for fire support.

    The entire battle lasted for 45 minutes and ended with the Germans voluntarily withdrawing from the city. The Isokawa Artillery Battalion of the 6th Infantry Regiment of the 5th Japanese Infantry Brigade, which was heavily attacked by the enemy, was completely destroyed and lost 8 75mm field guns.  Major Kawa was hit in the head by a piece of debris and died. In addition, Colonel Tanaka and Colonel Wang's field artillery regiment in the middle lost an artillery squadron and four 75mm field guns. The losses of our infantry were that of Colonel Sugimoto on the right.  The 6th Infantry Regiment suffered more than 800 casualties, and the 13th Federal Infantry Division of Major General Voronieri in the center suffered more than 200 casualties"".  "

    Qian Tianfu, the chief staff officer of the war room of the coalition headquarters, who hurriedly opened the door, meticulously reported the latest battle report of the Central Route Army in the Ukraine campaign. Wang Geng, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, put down a long telegram from China and stood up.  He left his large desk, strolled to the sofa, took out a cigar and lit it, while motioning for Qian Tianfu to continue.

    "The focus of the enemy's counterattack is the Japanese Kikuchi Brigade on the right wing of the Center Army near the tributary of the North Donets River. The German army's designation is the 139th Reserve Infantry Regiment, which belongs to Major General Sven von Neuhaus's 47th Reserve Infantry Division.  , according to the battle report, although the German army was only a reserve infantry regiment with 4 battalions and less than 3,000 men, the combat actions were swift and decisive, and the firepower of the squad and platoon was quite fierce. If it were not for the outpost security position of the 5th Infantry Brigade, the enemy was held back.  , I¡¯m afraid that the main position of the 5th Infantry Brigade will be breached!¡±

    Qian Tianfu smacked his lips and reported that in the view of this young Chinese colonel who succeeded Shunroku Hata as the chief staff officer of the operations room of the Eastern Front Allied Forces Headquarters of the Allied Powers, it was rare to see the enemy's combat effectiveness being so highly praised in the Japanese army's battle reports. Perhaps  This has something to do with the fact that Shunroku Hata served as the Chief of Staff of the Allied Western "Beiyang 1917 Chapter 738 (A Time Outside the City" Southern Front. After all, he has been immersed in Yin for almost a year under Wang Geng. This man  Major General Shunroku Hata obviously knows that the Commander-in-Chief has a fiery eye and cannot touch the sand. He should be realistic about anything and not deceive the superiors or subordinates. This is Wang Geng's basic requirement for the coalition generals. On this point, Shunroku Hata, who came from the Japanese Army Staff Headquarters, is obviously sure.  Not bad.

    "That's not bad. The 38-guns in the hands of the Japanese troops are still far behind the Mauser 98s in the hands of the Germans. They were counterattacked at night. There was only one first line of the 6th Infantry Regiment beside Kikuchi.  Right? Didn¡¯t Ren Dao¡¯s 2nd Armored Battalion go into battle? The Japanese infantry brigade and regiment-level artillery are indeed a bit weak. We need to find a way to solve this problem. How many casualties will the Germans have? "

    Although Wang Geng was a little surprised that the German army dared to go out of the city to counterattack on the first night, the Germans only dispatched one infantry regiment. Obviously, the opponent was not forced to jump over the wall to make a desperate move. Most of them were probing attacks, with the purpose of  It is to understand the combat effectiveness of the front-line troops of the coalition forces and the strength of the defense line.

    "Only the forward troops of the 13th Federal Infantry Division, the 6th Infantry Regiment of the 5th Japanese Infantry "Beiyang 1917" Brigade, and the du1i field heavy artillery of the Japanese 3rd Division commanded by Colonel Hashimoto Koji are entering the battle tonight.  Regiment, the German infantry who left the city to counterattack left nearly 300 corpses. However, the enemy took away their own lightly and seriously wounded soldiers when they retreated. The report of the 6th Infantry Regiment believed that the enemy's lightly and seriously wounded soldiers were at leastThere were 4 or 500 people. Since today is June 23rd, the last quarter moon will not appear until early in the morning. It was too dark to see clearly, and the battlefield didn't even have time to clean up!  "

    Qian Tianfu answered with a slight frown. At this moment, he also realized that although the casualties of the infantry on both sides were similar in this battle, the Germans came and went like the wind and did not fall into passivity. Obviously from a tactical point of view, he really didn't dare to say  The Germans lost.

    "The 3rd Regiment of Hashimoto Koji's Du1i Field Heavy Artillery opened fire? Then why didn't the German heavy artillery fight back? Didn't the battle report in the evening say that the two artillery battalions of the 13th Federal Infantry Division in Voronei were attacked by the German 15omm heavy field artillery?  Were the howitzers almost wiped out? Is there any data on the losses of artillery on both sides? Only the 6th Infantry Regiment of the Kikuchi Brigade lost an artillery brigade?

    Wang Geng gently blew out a smoke ring and asked. Recently, the "Entertainment Show" Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Front Allied Forces of the Allied Powers and Commander-in-Chief of the Volga Federal Armed Forces has piled up documents to sign and review every day, so he never has enough time.  Every night, I almost have to be busy in the office until midnight before I can rest. Therefore, I spend most of my time listening to staff officers and secretaries reading telegrams and talking about documents as a means of rest and adjustment.

    "It's a matter of range. Ukrainian artillery is very cunning. Their first 75mm field artillery battalion to fire is located in the southern part of Kharkov. It will be able to hit 3oo behind the outpost position of the 6th Infantry Regiment of our right wing Kikuchi Brigade.  meters position, in fact, the opponent's goal tonight is probably to test our strength and capture the outpost position by the way. Since our artillery is arranged behind the main position, it creates a situation where each one fights his own.  Not."
