    Tanaka Yoshi spoke out his opinions in one breath, without showing any mercy to Utsunomiya Taro and his coalition forces on the Southwest Front. On the other hand, Tanaka Yoshi was young and energetic, and he thought that this Ukrainian campaign would be a three-pronged attack.  The original plan was drawn up by the war room of the Allied Forces Headquarters under the auspices of Shunroku Hata. He also has his share of credit here. What's more, before you Tanaka and Jiang Fangzhen came to the front line, the headquarters had already approved this plan. Now it is just a matter of time before you and the Germans  After the fight, you, Tanaka Yiichi, dare to dig in the nose and face to cause trouble?

    "Sir Tanaka, the battle on the battlefield is a comprehensive consideration of the strength of both sides. The outcome is not determined simply by comparing the strength of artillery and machine guns. In that case, more than half of the battles in the world would not have to be fought. In the Ukrainian battle,  Our strategy of dividing our troops into three groups is to maximize the effectiveness of our troops. What's more, we have the support of the Allied Air Force. With air-ground coordination and infantry and artillery coordination, the combat effectiveness of Japan's 3rd Division will never be better than that of the Germans.  The reserve infantry division is inferior, and the combat experience of the federal infantry division is obviously better than that of the Ukrainian National Army and volunteers. I think this battle still needs to be fought! "

    Qian Tianfu blinked his eyes and pressed "" He couldn't help but refuted Tanaka Yiichi's opinion. Although Qian Tianfu still had some doubts about whether the combat effectiveness of the Japanese 3rd Division was enough to compete with the German Reserve Infantry Division, at least tonight  The German army was able to retreat with less and more attacks. The 6th Japanese Infantry Regiment on the defensive side had one-fourth more troops than the opponent's infantry regiment. There was also the coordinated operation of the Chinese 2nd Armored Battalion, but they were stunned.  The enemy withdrew, leaving not even a single seriously injured person. This made Qian Tianfu and a group of staff officers at the headquarters feel a little upset. Obviously, the Germans were not an enemy as rough and easy to deal with as the Soviet Red Army!

    "Director Qian, I think General Tanaka's view is not unreasonable. Commander-in-Chief, you two, although the Allied Air Force has temporarily gained air superiority over Eastern Ukraine after a hard battle, the German Air Force will make a comeback soon. We must be clear-headed about this."  know.

    Based on the current strength of the coalition air force, I am afraid it is a bit too optimistic for us to completely gain air supremacy over Ukraine. If we lose nearly an air wing in a war, as long as the Germans do not give up, I am worried that the strength of our air force will be very low.  It will be consumed, and then it will be limited to passive!

    "Uto" "Although the progress of the Central Route Army of General Gong's Southwest Front Army on the first day was smooth, it was only achieved when our air force occupied one-sided air superiority. The German ground anti-aircraft artillery and machine guns were  Anti-aircraft firepower cannot be underestimated, and our bomber groups can only repeat sorties a limited number of times a day.

    On the first day of today, by the afternoon, the DH4 fighter-bomber group was exhausted and could not continue to dispatch. It relied on the FR18 Excellent fighter-bomber group to complete the ground support mission. As for fighters, it is obvious that the SE5 biplane fighter is used for ground attack.  The effect is quite average!  Let me tell you, General Utsunomiya's troops may not be ready to fight without air support!  "

    Jiang Fangzhen, deputy chief of staff of the coalition forces, commander of the 4th Chinese Group and commander of the 7th Mechanized Army of the Central Front of the coalition forces, stood up and said, his words sounded similar to those of Tanaka Yiichi. Although Qian Tianfu was not convinced, he was temporarily  Blushing, he couldn't find the words to refute. What's more, in front of Qian Tianfu, Jiang Fangzhen's words certainly carried much more weight than the words of a Japanese general.  high

    "Chief of Staff Chiang, do you also think that the opening of the Ukraine Campaign in Beiyang 1917 Chapter 739 (Second Air Reconnaissance is Not a Vegetarian) is a bit too big?" Wang Geng put down the coffee in his hand and drank a few sips.  He took out a cigar and rubbed it while asking quietly.

    Jiang Fangzhen nodded when he heard this. Since he became the chief of staff and deputy for Wang Geng, he did not intend to hide his opinions. Although the main force of the Southwest Front Army was the Japanese 3rd Army, like the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces,  Jiang Fangzhen was not willing to let Utsunomiya do as he pleased just because the main force of the Southwest Front Army was not the Chinese participating troops.

    "Jiang Sang, it is true that heroes have the same opinion. Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, everyone, I think that Erlang Oba's 3rd Division should shrink its troops, control the main force in the north of Kharkov, and use upright tactics to suppress Kazakhstan.  It is best for the garrison of Kharkov to attack the city for reinforcements, so that our logistics supply is the shortest, and the railway road from the north of Kharkov to Belgorod has been repaired overnight, so we can easily follow the railway  and road deployment troops to replenish supplies.

    According to Lieutenant General Oba's current style of play, even if Muto's infantry brigade strengthens the firepower of the Chinese armored battalion and du1i artillery battalion, far away from the main force of the Central Route Army, it is likely to become the "Beiyang 1917" chosen by the German-Ukrainian coalition to attack.  Target!  At that time, it is very likely that we will be outnumbered, and the main force will not be able to be reinforced in time across the river. If the Muto brigade is eaten by the enemy, it will cause frustration or even failure in the battle in the middle of Ukraine!  "Tanaka Yiichi obviously didn't expect that Jiang Fangzhen also agreed with his views.His eyes were shining brightly, he grabbed Jiang Fangzhen's hand and shook it.

    Jiang Fangzhen smiled slightly, took out the painful hand pinched by Tanaka, first patted the Japanese general on the shoulder, then turned to Wang Geng and said,

    "Commander-in-Chief, east of the Kharkov River is the forest area. The effectiveness of the air support of the coalition air force is greatly reduced. Moreover, we are not familiar with the terrain. That Simon Petliura also carried out the clearing of the wilderness and the large-scale retreat. Kharkov  The husband fled north and east towards the Ukrainian people.

    If Major General Muto's 23rd Infantry Brigade ventures across the river to act alone, if I, the former enemy commander of the German-Ukrainian forces, Hermann von Francois, would concentrate my main force to eat Muto's troops first, so that both sides can attack and defend.  It's about to be exchanged. This is the most worrying prospect in Lieutenant General Da Ting's three-way encirclement of Kharkov strategy!  "There was a hint of worry in Jiang Fangzhen's words.

    "Entertainment Show" "Chief of Staff, although von Francois became famous in the Battle of Tannenberg four years ago, he has been depressed since then. He only commanded the 29th German Infantry consisting of three reserve infantry divisions.  According to the analysis of the aerial reconnaissance of our aviation team's Hawkeye early warning aircraft, the main force of the German reserve infantry division 47th located in the southern suburbs of Kharkov has withdrawn south, and the remaining two divisions are as far away as Dnipropetrov.  Sk.

    The Ukrainian 1st Division was defeated, the 2nd Division was also dispersed, and the other two main divisions of the Ukrainian 1st Group Army, the 3rd and 4th Divisions, also ran away to the forest to the east. It is said that the opponent can concentrate the main force to surround and defeat Major General Muto.  The 23rd Infantry Brigade, it seems that it is not so easy to bring the troops back, right?  Our aerial reconnaissance is not vegetarian either!  "
