    Because Yamashita Tomofumi came from the family of Commander Utsunomiya Taro of the Japanese 3rd Army and was transferred to the 4th Cavalry Regiment, the commander of the regiment, Colonel Yonezawa Kogoro, did not dare to have the slightest contempt or neglect. Who knew this guy  Will it just be a transition and when you return to the headquarters in the future, just like Shunroku Hata, Kanji Ishihara, and Seishiro Sakagaki, who jumped up to level 2 in a year and a half?

    At this time, the 39-year-old Shunroku Hata is no longer a colonel but a serious Japanese Army Major General and Chief of Staff of the Southwest Front. Even Lieutenant General Hata Tashi, the division chief, did not dare to neglect him at all, even because Hata Shunroku was the earliest Japanese  The liaison officer dispatched by the Army Staff Headquarters to the Chinese participating armies, and when he served as the chief staff officer of the operations room of the Allied Allied Forces Headquarters, he won the favor and support of the King of China. He is the commander of the Japanese 3rd Army, General Utsunomiya Taro, and now he does not dare to follow him.  Shunroku Hata, the chief of staff, puffed his beard and stared at his work, slapping the table.

    Captain Tomofumi Yamashita, who came as a member of the regiment, made it a lot easier for Captain Yonezawa Kogoro of the 4th Cavalry Regiment to lead the troops. Shunroku Hata parachuted down during the Battle of Ufa and commanded the 4th Cavalry Regiment to eat Su  The Russian Red Army had an entire infantry division, and the regiment attached to it, Yamashita Fengwen, commanded a cavalry brigade. The remaining infantry division of the other side was stunned and fled into the sky with nowhere to go. Yamashita Fengwen showed off his long-distance continuous attack.  Combat command and troop leadership abilities!

    Of course, in this time and space of 1918, not to mention the regiment commander Yonezawa Kogoro, even the infantry captain Yamashita Fengfumi himself would have thought that the command would command two divisions with 30,000 Japanese troops riding bicycles for 55 days and occupying the city in one fell swoop.  In the Malay Peninsula, 110,000 British Empire troops were captured. This was also the largest defeat of the British Army in history.

    In this time and space, in the early morning of July 31, 1918, the task faced by the 4th Cavalry Regiment was far from a matter of "choking or making trouble". No one could have expected in advance that the water network at the confluence of the Lopan River and the Yudi River would be dense.  area, the marching operations of the 4th Cavalry Regiment will bring such huge difficulties.

    July 31, 1918, 7:35, five kilometers west of Kharkiv, near the confluence of the Lopan and Yudi rivers, the headquarters of the 4th Regiment of the Japanese 3rd Division Cavalry

    "Captain Yamashita, the division commander personally came to Kharkov City to supervise the battle. This time it seems that Kharkov City is determined to be won!" Colonel Yonezawa Kogoro, captain of the 4th Regiment of the Japanese 3rd Division Cavalry, muttered.  Then he took over the urgent telegram just sent from the headquarters from the hands of Captain Fengwen, who was attached to the mountain of the regiment. He looked at it carefully and looked at it again. When he raised his head, he had a solemn expression on his face.

    Here, Yamashita Fengwen has already complained uncontrollably.

    "Your Excellency, Captain, I believe that the 4th Cavalry Regiment, as a mobile detour unit, our key target should be the Ukrainian logistics and transportation lines. How can we be asked to detour to the south of the city to attack the city? Last night in Kharkov  The Germans in the city only dispatched a reserve infantry regiment, and they beat up Major General Kikuchi's 5th Infantry Brigade. We have a cavalry regiment of less than 4,000 people. How can we use cavalry to attack the city?  Law?"

    "Yamashita-kun, an order is an order. Lieutenant General Oba, as the division commander and former enemy commander, personally went to the battlefield to command all the troops. Can it be said that our mere regiment can reject the order of the headquarters?

    The two big rivers that are causing people a headache right now are just after the rainy season in July. The overflowing waters of the Lopan River and the Yudi River, a tributary of the North Donets River, have not completely receded. The swampy areas along the left bank of the Yudi River have  We are exhausted from going all the way around the edge of the city, and now we have to use the fastest speed to go back to the south of the city to cooperate with Major General Muto's 23rd Infantry Brigade to cut off the enemy's retreat This task is not easy to handle!  "

    Yonezawa Kogoro held the telegram in his hand and turned around in the wing headquarters tent. Yonezawa's 4th Cavalry Regiment can be regarded as a ground force of the Japanese 3rd Army that participated in the Battle of Ufa and performed very well.  One, as a member of the southern detachment's outflanking force, he followed Li Mingzhong to lead the mixed cavalry brigade and the 2nd Siberian Cavalry Division to outflank Ufa to the south. He went south to attack numerous cities and fortresses, and successively occupied and regained the local armed control of the Soviet Red Army.  Lower Sterlitamark, Saravat, Meleuz and Kumeltau.

    Although the South Detachment was the first to open the way and break up the rear, it was the two cavalry brigades of the 2nd Siberian Cavalry Division, and the most powerful firepower was the 3rd Mixed Cavalry Brigade under the Chinese 1st Armored Division, but the Japanese 3rd Cavalry Brigade commanded by Colonel Yonezawa Kogoro  The 4th Cavalry Regiment of the 3rd Division was familiar with the local climate and customs during the entire battle south, while fighting bravely to take the lead in every battle. It also gained a lot of face for the Japanese Army. At least the Japanese cavalry unit gave the commander of the southern detachment  The impression left by Li Mingzhong is quite good. He is willing to endure hardship and can fight with all his strength. His shortcoming is that he sometimes does not know how to judge the situation and act according to his ability.

    What made Kogoro Yonezawa's 4th Cavalry Regiment really show up in the Battle of Ufa was that during the pursuit of Tukhachevsky's 1st Army in the late stages of the Battle of Ufa, Shunroku Hata, director of the operations room of the Allied Forces Command, suppressed  Don't live there, when the weather is badUnder thick clouds, I sat in the back seat of a dh4 reconnaissance bomber and flew over Meleuz to risk a parachute jump. I airborne and commanded Colonel Yonezawa's 4th Cavalry Regiment to go north to block the retreating Soviet Red Army.  1 Army Group.

    After a forced march to the vicinity of Salavat, they defeated the 31st Infantry Division of the 1st Group Army of the Soviet Red Army in a battle. Then they turned around and headed south. With the cooperation of the Chinese 3rd Mixed Cavalry Brigade intercepting troops from Kumeltau north, they were finally annihilated.  Tukhachevsky only brought less than 200 troops with him under the escape tactics of Furmanov and Xiaboyang's attack on the Western Lizard.  The cavalry broke out.

    Therefore, Yonezawa's 4th Cavalry Regiment can be regarded as one of the most outstanding units of the entire Japanese 3rd Army in the Battle of Ufa. It suffered few casualties and traveled thousands of miles. The results were quite brilliant. Of course, this battle was in  Under the personal command of Major General Shunroku Hata, the Chief of Staff of the Southwest Front at this time, the commander of the regiment, Colonel Yonezawa, was just a loyal executor.

    In the establishment of the Allied Allied Forces on the Eastern Front, the originally weak Japanese cavalry units were particularly strengthened. Currently, a Japanese cavalry regiment has three cavalry brigades and a field artillery brigade. This is larger than Japan's domestic standing divisions.  A cavalry regiment with only two cavalry squadrons under its control is a much larger organization.
