- In addition to the 4 cavalry squadrons of the Iida Cavalry Brigade, the 30-man 8-gun 81mm battalion mortar under the jurisdiction of the brigade headquarters is the sharpest artillery of the Cavalry Brigade. This was the first Chinese mortar to imitate and improve the French mortar. The prototype of the Menying Mortar is the Stokes 81mm mortar developed and put into production by France in 1915. After Wang Geng¡¯s Xuanhua Arsenal successfully copied it, this mortar was commonly known as the 81mm Battalion Mortar. , the scientific name is M1781mm mortar. If it weren't for the fear of being confused with the Germans' mg series machine guns, Wang Geng really wanted to name this gun mg17 mortar. §êw§ë

For the Japanese 4th Cavalry Regiment, which is equipped with a large number of Chinese m1781mm mortars, their regiment's captain Fengwen Yamashita weighs almost as much as two m17 mortars. Therefore, after the Battle of Kharkov, Yamashita Captain Fengwen's first official nickname was changed from the yet-to-be-implemented alternate 4th Heavenly Demon King to "Double Mortar". ""look
Of course, what makes the two Japanese generals Yamashita Tomofumi and Iida Sadugu envious is not only the M1 Garand mounted rifles equipped by the Chinese cavalry troops, but also their ubiquitous FJ18 Hummer off-road/reconnaissance/combat vehicles! This is really irritating. During the Battle of Ufa, the battalion commanders of the 3rd Chinese Mixed Cavalry Brigade had no awareness of being cavalry generals. Almost everyone was equipped with an FJ18 Humvee as a transportation vehicle. !
Of course, it is not that the Chinese cavalry generals do not have their own mounts. The mounts are held by the orderlies and guards. The Chinese equip their cavalry commanders with Humvee command vehicles. They are light and fast, and they can climb mountains and ridges as easily as they can on the ground. Once the gas is out, it can be dragged by the pack horse! Install a high and low gun mount and a Browning heavy machine gun, and you'll be a firepower hedgehog!
Yamashita Tomofumi has never forgotten to get himself a Chinese FJ18 Hummer as a transportation vehicle. Otherwise, with his weight of over 90 kilograms, he needs at least 2 Japanese horses as replacement mounts. Otherwise, he will not be able to run for half a day on a horse. Time to be crushed!
The problem is that the captains of the Japanese 3rd Division are not equipped with FJ18 Humvee command vehicles and are riding horses. There is a captain's regiment at the foot of the mountain who is originally a cavalry. If he doesn't want to ride a horse, should he use a car instead? There is no door, although Yamashita Fengwen feels aggrieved. This guy studied under Lu Shi and Lu Da was in the infantry department. Who would have thought that he would sneak into the cavalry regiment and lead the troops now?
The Chinese Hummer off-road vehicle that Yamashita Fengfumi never forgets was finalized at the end of April 1918. The Chinese Hummer off-road vehicle was officially put into production in May. It is said that 800 units were produced in May, 1,200 units in June, and 1,200 units in July. The output will reach 1,500 units. The Chinese Hummer FJ18 off-road vehicle has the following basic performance parameters:
1. Equipped with Ford 29-displacement inline 4-cylinder air-cooled engine.
2. 4x4 drive, three-speed transmission,
3. The body is low, the chassis is formed and pressed with steel in one step, and the front and rear wheel axles are fully suspended by spring steel plates.
4. The whole vehicle weighs only 860 kilograms, is 3 meters long, 187 meters high and 157 meters wide.
5. The maximum speed is 80 kilometers per hour, and the standard load is 450 kilograms.
In other words, Captain Fengwen Yamashita was so out of breath that even the Japanese horses were overwhelmed. According to his weight, the Chinese FJ18 Hummer off-road vehicle could pull five such strong men like Yamashita without even breathing, except for the Chinese Fukudao automobile manufacturer. In addition to the excellent design of the factory engineers, the surging power of Ford's 29-displacement in-line 4-cylinder air-cooled engine is the most important guarantee. This engine, on which the Ford company was founded, was named in the selection of classic car engines throughout the 20th century. Ranked in the top ten!
Yamashita Tomofumi and Iida Sadagu led nearly a thousand Japanese cavalrymen of the 10th Cavalry Brigade, silently along the right bank of the Lopan River, heading northwest towards Borodukshiv!
July 31, 1918 8:00 Kharkov
After resting for a night, the Allied Allied Forces Air Force took off from the frontline field airport in Belgorod 20 minutes ago. The air force of a dh4 reconnaissance bomber group completed the formation. Under the escort of an SE5 fighter group, it attacked Kharkov. A fierce air raid was carried out on the defense line in the north of the city. After the bomber group of the Allied Air Force returned the previous day, the SE5 fighter squadron that remained above the Kharkov battlefield was unable to continue its ground attack to kill the Germans under the threat of heavy machine gun anti-aircraft firepower on the ground. Heavy artillery position.
This made today's air raid by the coalition air force carry a hint of revenge and catharsis. Huang Jingbo, commander of the coalition's frontline air force, personally led a squadron of fr18 Excellent fighter-bombers to command the Kharkov city defense throughout the morning at an altitude of 3,000 meters. Although Utsunomiya Taro and Oba Jiro had previously intended to destroy the city as little as possible, after experiencingAfter yesterday afternoon's artillery battle and night raid counter-night raid, the ban on air raids and shelling of the city of Kharkov has been completely abandoned.
The attack on the enemy's heavily defended city paid the price of blood and fire of the coalition infantry, without any tenderness or appeasement. What the coalition air force could do in the air attack was not to bomb churches, schools and hospitals, but to violently bomb churches, schools and hospitals. Bombs under air strikes may not all have eyes. In many cases, people cannot care so much whether the shock wave of an aerial bomb landing and exploding accidentally injures civilians.
The Allied Air Force deployed the 1st and 2nd Fighter-Bomber Wings and the 3rd Heavy Bomber Wing on the Ukrainian front. In the "729 Great Air Battle" that competed for air supremacy with the German 1st Fighter Wing stationed in Ukraine, it was originally The 1st Fighter-Bomber Wing of the Frontline Air Force stationed at 4 airports in Belgorod, Voronezh and Kursk Krelisk suffered heavy casualties. In a fierce battle that lasted one night and one day, they paid the price of shooting down nearly 70 fighter planes. .
Although with the support of the 2nd Fighter-Bomber Wing of the Allied Air Force, which came for reinforcements, it completely defeated the German 1st Fighter Wing commanded by Hermann Wilhelm Goering and shot down 77 German fighter planes, the 1st Allied Fighter-Bomber Wing The team was also withdrawn for rest and recovery due to heavy losses, and the heavy burden of taking over the air support mission of the Southwest Front's Central Route Army from the 1st Fighter-Bomber Wing fell on the 2nd Fighter-Bomber Wing.
