    But don¡¯t forget that the Soviet Bolshevik leader Ulyanov has repeatedly emphasized that the Workers¡¯ and Soldiers¡¯ Soviet Union is actually an alliance of the working class and soldiers (peasants in military uniforms). This is absolutely true. Perhaps in Ulyan  In the eyes of Comrade Nov, for a long time the countryside and peasants were on the opposite side of the Bolsheviks, who had wartime communism and a system of collecting surplus grain. However, farmers in military uniforms, that is, soldiers, especially supported the Bolsheviks.  and the soldiers of the Soviet regime are the most important allies and supporters that the working class can rely on.  .  First,

    The 13th Federal Infantry Division commanded by Liukin Alexeevich Voronezh is such a force composed mainly of peasants from former Tsarist Russia or Soviet Russia, so digging communication trenches and fortifications is not a problem for these Federal Defense Forces. As a member of the Volga Federal Defense Forces  As a member of the military, in addition to being instilled with the iron-blooded military discipline of "Three Major Disciplines and Nine Points of Attention", the slogans and propaganda of sweating more in peacetime and bleeding less in wartime are of no use to these veterans of the former Tsarist Russia and the former Soviet Russia.  Something feels wrong.  ",

    Why is there strength in numbers?  While the enemy artillery fire in Kharkov was to avoid exposing the target to coalition air strikes, the attacking Allied forces hardly encountered the defenders' artillery fire.  The trenches at the forward position were fully repaired yesterday. In the three hours from 6 to 9 o'clock this morning, the more than 2,000-meter-long and half-man-deep communication trench connecting the main position to the forward position was also repaired.  ""look

    The difficulty of digging and constructing a 2,000-meter traffic trench in the soft soil of hills and plains after the rainy season is much less than expected. In fact, the two regiments of the 25th Infantry Brigade have nearly 6,000 people, and each person can only dig 1  It is just a traffic trench that is 80 centimeters long, 80 centimeters deep, and 50 centimeters wide. The excavated soil was piled directly on both sides and the depth of the traffic trench was more than one meter.

    In the fierce battle on July 30, the first to launch an attack on the central front was the 26th Infantry Brigade of the 13th Federal Infantry Division. The brigade headquarters of the 26th Infantry Brigade was 500 meters away from the temporary field position constructed on the front line. At that time, the enemy  At this time, the defense line was 2,500 meters away in the south. As early as the first air raid on the opponent's position by the coalition air force, the brigade commander Cirkes had quietly moved two battalions of the 51st Infantry Regiment of the 26th Infantry Brigade to the opponent's position.  In a depression 2,500 meters away from the front.

    The 26th Infantry Brigade is responsible for the entire 9-kilometer-long front on the right wing, so the brigade commander Circassian only plans to use the main 51st Infantry Regiment to attack in the center, while the 51st Infantry Regiment invests two main infantry battalions as the forward.  The 3rd Battalion serves as the reserve of the regiment, and the 52nd Regiment of the 26th Infantry Brigade serves as the reserve of the entire brigade.

    Through the wired telephone set up in the field position, the brigade commander Circassian's order was quickly issued to the 51st Infantry Regiment in front. At least two infantry battalions of federal infantry were densely packed, carrying guns and hunched over the mountains and fields from the depressions.  Emerged in a skirmish formation, they rushed toward the Ukrainian position in the sun at around three o'clock in the afternoon, and the roar of the Browning M1918a1 heavy machine gun also rang, attacking the Ukrainian defender's position more than 2,000 meters away.  To put it bluntly, the threat posed by the coalition's heavy machine guns is more of an intimidation and deterrent than a threat.

    The two main infantry battalions of the 51st Infantry Regiment, with nearly 1,200 federal infantrymen, surged forward in a well-organized skirmish formation. Behind them were the sweaty mortar crews and heavy machine gun crews, attacking the federal infantry.  For the regimental 81mm caliber mortars of the infantry division, they have to hit within 2,000 meters of the enemy position before they can reach the mortar range. The Browning 762mm heavy machine gun that alternately covers must be within 1,500 meters at least.  The most effective way to provide fire support to the front.

    The commander of the 51st Federal Infantry Regiment, Colonel Maxim Bavlov, commanded an infantry regiment with a full strength of 2,500 people. This man personally led the 1st and 2nd Infantry Battalions and the regiment's forced troops.  As the first wave of attacking troops, the artillery platoon left the 3rd Infantry Battalion, the regiment's reconnaissance company, the engineer supply company and the communications service platoon on the starting position as a reserve team, and handed them over to the regiment chief of staff Gurbanguur.  Bayov conducts.

    Don't underestimate the offensive momentum of two infantry battalions with nearly 1,200 people. Calculated by 4 or 5 meters between each infantry, even if it is a three-line formation, the width of the skirmisher line of the entire offensive team will be nearly 2 kilometers wide. Of course, the offensive  From the rear, it can be vaguely distinguished that these are two large battalion-sized offensive arrows, followed by 8 smaller company-sized arrows, and the 8 company-sized arrows can be subdivided into 24 platoon-level arrows.  Scale arrow.

    Perhaps the momentum of the coalition's offensive was a bit overwhelming. The Ukrainian defensive positions, which had been silent for a long time, gradually began to emerge with figures of the 1st Volunteer Infantry Division. Although the distance between the attacking and defending sides was still more than 1,200 meters, it was obvious that the Ukrainians  Already a little out of control, the roar of mg08 heavy machine guns rang out from the opposite position. The infantrymen of the Volga Federation attacking here fell down one after another as the opponent's heavy machine guns suppressed them, looking for cover or simply taking action.  He took out the engineer shovel on his back and started digging a single prone bunker.

      No one is stupid enough to use the Mosin-Nagant rifle in their hand to shoot against the German mg08 heavy machine gun 1,200 meters away. Shooting outside the effective range of the rifle is the job of the machine gunners and gunners on both sides. In fact,  , the impact ran for a distance of nearly 1,200 meters, and many federal infantrymen were exhausted and panting. At this moment, when the opponent's machine gun rang out, they just happened to lie down on the spot to avoid the enemy's machine gun fire. At the same time, they also seized the time.  Take a breath, of course, the machine gun bullets on both sides have no eyes. The Ukrainians on the opposite side and the unlucky ones among the federal infantry here were hit and fell by the flying machine gun bullets one after another. The battle was over.  There will be bloodshed, there will be death and sacrifice!

    In fact, guarding this several-kilometer defense line is the 1st Regiment of the 1st Division of the Kharkiv Volunteers of the Ukrainian National Army. This regiment has a strength of 3,000 people, but it is evenly spread over a position width of nearly 9 kilometers.  Almost an infantry company has to guard a position of 1,201,500 meters. This is almost the limit of the position width that an infantry company can effectively organize to defend in this era. The equipment level of the Volunteer Division is far inferior to that of the Ukrainian National Army's infantry division.  The rifle is a Mosin Nagant rather than a German Mauser 98.
