    In fact, King Tanaka was eager for Koji Hashimoto's 15-centimeter heavy artillery to open fire before the enemy to conduct the so-called artillery preparations. However, the maximum range of the 24 four-year-old 15-centimeter heavy field howitzers equipped by the Hashimoto Regiment was 8,800 meters, and his own  The maximum range of the 38-type field artillery is only 8,350 meters, so it is natural for Hashimoto's heavy artillery position to be placed behind him. When he wants to fire, he will not let the 15-centimeter heavy artillery finish his turn before letting his artillery unit in front.  Keep up

    Seeing that the two artillery regiment captains who usually did not deal with each other unanimously suggested giving up artillery preparations and directly using the residual power and deterrence of the air strikes to seize the time for the ground troops to launch an attack, Lieutenant General Da Ting frowned, turned around and asked the man next to him.  Commander of the 13th Federal Infantry Division Voronezh, ",

    "Your Majesty, Major General, can your troops launch an attack now? Or do you need the Kikuchi brigade on the left and right wings to provide you with cover first and feign an attack?"

    Liukin Alexeevich Voronezh, the division commander of the 13th Federal Infantry Division, stroked his beard after hearing this, turned to discuss with Alexander Alexander Besklovny, the chief of staff of the division next to him, and nodded.  road,

    "The 13th Infantry Division can launch an attack, but when the enemy counterattacks later, the artillerymen of Hashimoto and Tanaka, commanders of the two regiments, can no longer cry and shout that they need to strike early. You must know that my two artillery battalions were attacked by the Germans yesterday.  The heavy artillery destroyed huge casualties. Without the support of artillery, it is obviously difficult for our infantry to occupy and consolidate the position! ""Look!

    Voronezh knew that Hashimoto and Tanaka, the two Japanese artillery captains in front of them, were deeply afraid of the German artillery fire in Kharkov. They knew that it would be difficult to force them to open fire first and expose the target. They also knew that although Lieutenant General Oba led  In a consultative tone, he clearly asked the 13th Federal Infantry Division to take the lead in launching a probing attack, rather than waiting for the troops of the Japanese 5th Infantry Brigade on both wings to conduct a probing attack and cover

    "Yo Xi! Let's start the attack! Your Excellency, division commander, we are looking forward to your troops in the middle showing their talents. Maybe they can rush up and occupy the enemy's position in one go! Then the 13th Federal Infantry Division has made the first contribution!"  The general was obviously very satisfied with Commander Mao Zi's attitude. The former enemy commander-in-chief of the Central Route Army felt a hint of pleasure in strategizing. Of course, the division commander and former enemy commander-in-chief did not forget to glare at Hashimoto and Tanaka and thought to himself, wait a minute.  Son, if you don't work hard enough to let the federal troops steal the limelight, don't blame me for not giving you face.  §êw§ë

    The former enemy headquarters in Da Ting is located in a 2-story building at Kharkiv North Railway Station. It is less than 5 kilometers away from the enemy's central defense line north of the city. The sight line is good. You can vaguely see the entire battlefield through a telescope.  The situation here is also the division headquarters of the 13th Voronezh Infantry Division. Since the artillery of the Kharkov defenders are basically scattered in the city, theoretically, the artillery fire of the German-Ukrainian coalition cannot threaten the former enemy command post of the coalition.

    In fact, during the three hours from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m., the 13th Federal Infantry Division was not idle at all. Yesterday afternoon, the 13th Federal Infantry Division, which was responsible for the central attack, was affiliated with Lieutenant General Stepin's Voronezh Army Group. As the Volga Federation  The 13th Infantry Division, the main force of the Voronezh Army, is still organized in the square format of 1 Division, 2 Brigades and 4 Infantry Regiments.

    However, Wang Geng temporarily adjusted the heavy machine gun battalions and artillery companies that the Soviet Red Army and the White Guards used to organize. In addition to the infantry of 2 brigades and 4 regiments, each federal infantry division was equipped with each infantry squad.  2 m1 Garand semi-automatic rifles, and the Browning m1917bra squad machine gun has been strengthened to the platoon level. As for the company level, it is equipped with a 762mm caliber m1918a1 Browning heavy machine gun. In addition, each company also has  Equipped with a platoon-affiliated mortar squad of two 60mm calibers.

    In addition, each infantry regiment has an 8-gun 81mm caliber mortar battalion. As for the field artillery, the federal infantry division's artillery regiment has two 75mm 38-type field artillery battalions, and each battalion has three 6-gun battalions.  In addition, each federal infantry division also has an m191837aa anti-aircraft gun/anti-tank company, which has six 37mm caliber anti-aircraft guns.

    The 13th Voronezh Infantry Division has a full strength of 12,600 men. In terms of firepower, it has 48 heavy machine guns, 150 squad light machine guns, 96 60mm mortars, 32 81mm mortars, and 32 75mm field guns. Its firepower is much higher than before.  A division of the Soviet Red Army or the White Guard is much stronger, and all field artillery is towed by Dodge one-and-a-half-ton military trucks. The FJ18 Humvee military off-road command/reconnaissance vehicle is also equipped at the battalion level, which can be said to be a strong force.  The main infantry division of the Bundeswehr.

    During yesterday's daytime battle, due to the surprise attack of the German 1917 Krupp 150mm heavy field howitzers in Kharkiv, two 75mm Type 38 field artillery battalions in Voronezh suffered heavy losses, and 36 75mm Type 38 field guns were severely damaged.  The opponent's 12 150mm Krupp heavy artillery struck quickly and accurately, 33 of them were overturned. Only three 75mm field guns in the division were left in time to escape the disaster. Therefore, the 13th Federal Infantry on the position today  The division's fire support was provided by the Tanaka Field Artillery.The army's 36 75mm Type 38 field guns and 12 75mm mountain guns.

    The main position of the 13th Voronezh Infantry Division is 500 meters in front of the former enemy command post, while the artillery position of the Tanaka Artillery Regiment is 200 meters in front of the former enemy command post, and 100 meters behind the former enemy command post, along the railway line  The 24 four-year-old and 15-centimeter heavy field howitzers of the Hashimoto Regiment spread out on both sides.

    The outpost position of the 13th Infantry Division is also the starting position for the attack. It is about 2,500 meters away from the defense line of the northern defenders of Kharkiv. 2,000 meters further north is the main position of the 13th Infantry Division, a spider web-like traffic trench half a man deep.  The outpost position and the main position have been basically connected, which is much faster than yesterday's progress.

    In fact, repairing fortifications has always been a basic skill of the Army field troops and an essential life-saving operation. Although among the troops of the entire Eastern Front of the Allied Powers, the Chinese participating troops have the strongest basic skills of digging communication trenches and trenches, the three divisions under the Japanese 3rd Army  The infantrymen of the regiment are all veterans, and they have accumulated a lot of experience in this fortification. However, the civil engineering capabilities of the Volga Federal Defense Forces, whose main source of troops originally came from the prisoners of the Soviet Red Army, are somewhat inferior.
