    Qian Tianfu answered quickly. It was said that the Ukrainians had a range of only 7,600 meters, while the coalition equipment had a range of 8,350 meters. The two sides were actually out of reach. Obviously, Kikuchi's artillery brigade was arranged a bit too far back.  .  .  First,

    Sure enough, Wang Geng frowned slightly after hearing this, but the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces did not delve too deeply into this issue. He closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows while waving his hand for Qian Tianfu to continue.

    "What the Ukrainians used to defeat the Isokawa Artillery Battalion was their 105mm light field howitzer battalion that was ambushed in the central area of ??Kharkov. There were about 12 howitzers. Since the opponent was targeting the enemy first, 1 German 05mm light howitzer.  The power is much greater than our 75mm Type 38 field gun, so Isokawa's artillery brigade had no time to move within 5 minutesit was all broken into pieces, and Major Isokawa was also killed by a piece of shrapnel concentrated on his head"

    Qian Tianfu's voice was a little low. After all, this was bad news. Since the Allied Forces went into battle, this was the first Japanese major to be killed on the battlefield. But "" don't think that the Japanese major is so easy to be, and you can't be 30 years old.  Those who stand out may not necessarily be qualified. Even among the top students who graduated from universities in Japan, many are only captains. Only the most outstanding ones can be awarded the rank of major.  Moreover, from captain to major, there is generally no seniority of more than 6 years in peacetime.

    "The German artillery commanders are not simple, Director Qian. He must learn the German artillery usage and dispatching skills of pre-emptive and post-strike. In this way, the Isokawa Artillery Battalion of the Sugimoto Regiment was defeated by the opponent's 105mm light field howitzer battalion.  Dropped. Didn¡¯t it mean that the opponent also invested two other 75mm field artillery battalions? What are these two artillery battalions doing? Oh, by the way, they must be suppressing the Voronezh Infantry Division¡¯s position in the middle. The opponent is using it as a weapon to protect them.  Where is the 105th Howitzer Battalion?¡±

    Wang Geng raised his brows and opened his eyes, with a smile on his face. Apparently, this young commander-in-chief of the Allied Eastern Front still admired the German artillery tactics.

    "Indeed, the enemy's two 75mm field artillery battalions deployed in the northern city of Kharkov suddenly fired at the same time when their 105 light howitzer battalion opened fire. The target was the position of the 13th Federal Infantry Division in the middle. From  It was almost plowed between 3 kilometers and 5 kilometers. Of course, King Tanaka's field artillery regiment had not yet entered the artillery position of the 13th Federal Infantry Division for some reason, so the enemy's uppercut was considered empty, otherwise  The losses to the Central Army will be huge tonight!¡±

    Qian Tianfu is obviously congratulating himself for King Tanaka and his field artillery regiment. Although they are Japanese troops in the Allied Forces at the moment, if the troops are wiped out or suffer heavy casualties, the Japanese general may commit seppuku.  Although the commander of the Japanese 1st Army, Giichi Tanaka, has not been on the front line for a long time, the staff of the headquarters obviously already know that the captain of the field artillery wing of the Japanese 3rd Division, Colonel Tanaka, is the uncle and brother of General Tanaka.  Woolen cloth!

    "Ha, so this Tanaka is really a lucky guy. Now it's Hashimoto Koji's turn to fire the 24 four-year-old 15-centimeter heavy howitzers, right? How many enemy cannons have been destroyed?" The thoughts of the Allied Commander-in-Chief  It's going very fast. Since the two 75mm field artillery battalions of the Ukrainians are deployed in the northern city of Kharkov, if the coalition's artillery can't hit the opponent, "Beiyang 1917 Chapter 738 2 Preparations"  "Siege the City" is the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, but we have to ask Taro Utsunomiya and Jiro Oba how they led the troops!

    "The two 75mm field artillery battalions deployed by the Ukrainians in the north of the city were completely wiped out. At least according to Lieutenant General Oba's report, the Hashimoto Koji duli field heavy artillery regiment annihilated the two artillery battalions deployed by the Ukrainians in the northern part of the city.  The northern city of Erkov was in flames, and the number of enemy casualties in the city is unknown!" Qian Tianfu looked at the battle report in his hand again and answered with a smile.

    "Hashimoto has made a great contribution, but his Duli Field Heavy Artillery 3rd Regiment was deployed too far back and too cautiously, so he still couldn't reach the enemy's troops deployed in Nancheng District due to range reasons.  The first 75mm field artillery battalion to fire couldn't even hit the 105mm howitzer battalion in Zhongcheng?" The coalition commander frowned again.

    "This is very possible. The battle report did not mention the artillery battle with the opponent's 105mm howitzer battalion. Instead, it said that the artillery fire of the 3rd Regiment of Duli Field Heavy Artillery diverted and shot at the German ground troops attacking the Kikuchi position, causing heavy damage to the enemy and assisting the enemy.  The 6th Infantry Regiment of the Kikuchi Brigade held the position and repelled the invading enemy forces! "Qiantian Fuzai" Beiyang 1917" read the telegram carefully and had to agree with Wang Geng's keen observation and analysis skills.

    "It seems like there was a tie by accident. Lu Huanyan's armored troops and Muto's 23rd Infantry Brigade didn't have time to join the battle?" Wang Geng asked casually, standing up from the sofa and walking around.  pace.

    "The enemy did not participate in the battle. The enemy only left the city with an infantry regiment. They moved very quickly. From the first shot to the final withdrawal,The whole process lasted less than 45 minutes, and the Kikuchi brigade only called for artillery support from neighboring troops. The ground troops did not even have time to send out the armored battalion to catch the enemy. The German attack was sudden and the retreat was very slow.  Suddenly" Qian Tianfu looked at the telegram and scratched his head as he answered.

    "Is there any more below?" Wang Geng asked when he saw that there was a long section below Qian Tianfu's telegram.

    "The following is the latest deployment of Lieutenant General Oba. The military meeting on the front line has just ended. The 3rd Division's strategy is to deploy the 6th Infantry Regiment of the Kikuchi Brigade and the 2nd Armored Battalion led by Ren Dao on the right wing.  , with Voronezh's 13th Federal Infantry Division deployed in the middle of the "Entertainment Show", behind Tanaka's 3rd Field Artillery Regiment and Hashimoto's Duli Field Heavy Artillery 3rd Regiment, Lu Huanyan led the 1st Battalion of the Armored Regiment and the affiliated units.  On the left wing, the 18th Infantry Regiment of Masago Eizaki will also strengthen to the left wing tomorrow, forming a defense line to block and surround the north of Kharkov City, and then launch an attack during the day tomorrow!

    In addition, Stepin's four artillery battalions from the 14th Infantry Division and the 15th Infantry Division will arrive at the front line by train tomorrow morning and strengthen their left and right wing positions respectively. Lieutenant General Oba's first plan is to attract the enemy after taking Kharkov  To attack, the second option is to besiege Kharkov and wait for enemy reinforcements!  Major General Muto's 23rd Infantry Brigade will strengthen a 3rd Armored Battalion and the newly upgraded duli artillery battalion of Lu Huanyan Regiment, and will cross the river and return to the east of Kharkov early tomorrow morning, preparing to encircle the city!  "
