    Although each infantry regiment of the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Volunteer Infantry Division has nearly 3,000 troops, the entire circular defense line in the north of the city only needs to defend 7 kilometers of positions at this moment. The 2nd Brigade of the 1st Volunteer Infantry Division  All the heavy machine guns and 76cm infantry mortars of the two infantry regiments were placed on the front line, but only a reinforced regiment of nearly 3,000 infantrymen from the 3rd Infantry Regiment was deployed to guard the 7-kilometer-wide front line.  §êw§ëFirst, 138 reading books

    The 4th Infantry Regiment of the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Volunteer Division serves as a reserve team and is located on the second line of defense organized by stone buildings in Beicheng District. The well-connected communication trenches enable the reserve team to quickly support the infantry on the circular defense line.

    This is von Neuhaus's complacent defensive strategy of arranging troops with heavy forces at the front and heavy at the rear, and allocating firepower with heavy forces at the front and light at the back. On a 7-kilometer circular defense line, the 3rd Volunteer Infantry Regiment guarding one side invested 16 infantry companies.  , strengthened with 74 mg08 heavy machine guns and 3 infantry mortars.

    Behind the criss-crossing trench-style positions are also communication trenches and troop shelters. Although the coalition air strikes caused casualties and attrition to ground targets, the losses were still within the acceptable range of the German-Ukrainian coalition forces. In the coalition air strikes on the morning of July 31,  , the casualties of the defenders in the entire Kharkov city were controlled to less than 1,000 people. This basically did not constitute a fatal blow to the nearly 25,000 volunteers of the two divisions. The city of Kharkov was destroyed 200 years ago.  It became a stone building fortress, and as the new capital selected by the Ukrainian government, the solidity of the fortifications built by German-Ukrainian engineers within 2 months cannot be underestimated.  ""look

    With artillery on both sides unwilling to open fire first and expose the target, trench warfare with machine guns and mortars is theoretically beneficial to the defending side. Compared with the 74 German-made MG08 heavy machine guns of the Ukrainians guarding the position,  and 3 infantry mortars.

    In the first wave of the offensive, the 25th Brigade of the 13th Volga Federal Infantry Division only invested one regiment of the 50th Infantry Regiment. Each infantry squad of the 50th Federal Infantry Regiment was equipped with 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 air-cooled Browning heavy machine gun. In addition, each company is also equipped with two 60mm  caliber platoon belongs to the mortar squad, and the regiment also has an 8-gun 81mm caliber battalion mortar platoon.

    Dushkevich, the commander of the 25th Infantry Brigade, strengthened the trump card given to his brigade by the division commander Voronezh. The six 37mm caliber anti-aircraft guns under the division's M191837aa anti-aircraft gun/anti-tank company were all strengthened to the 50th Infantry Division responsible for the attack.  The leader of the regiment was Levandovsky.

    After losing the support of the Chinese armored forces, these 6 m191837aa anti-aircraft/anti-tank guns became the trump card of the 25th Brigade of the 13th Federal Infantry Division. Of course, at this moment, these anti-aircraft/anti-tank guns still belong to a Dodge 1 and a half ton military truck trailer  The tracked 37mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun developed based on the fd18 light tank chassis has just completed its design and finalization. It has not yet been officially installed in the Chinese troops in the Allied Eastern Front, let alone the Volga Federal Infantry Division.

    Semyon Semyonovich Levandovsky, commander of the 50th Federal Infantry Regiment, knew that the burden on his shoulders was quite heavy. The brigade headquarters was 500 meters behind him, and his regimental headquarters was not far from the enemy's position.  To 2,300 meters, and 2 kilometers behind, is the division headquarters, which is also the former enemy headquarters of the Central Army of the Allied Forces on the Eastern Front and the Southwest Front. Speaking of which, tens of thousands of people in the Central Army of the Allied Forces are looking at their regiment at this moment.  On the upcoming attack.

    For the Volga Federal Defense Forces, they have to go into battle with or without the fire support of divisional artillery. This depends on the bravery of the soldiers and the decisiveness of the commanders, and of course, the rifles, machine guns, mortars and grenades in hand. Facts  Above, Levandowski believed that if his troops could use grenades in this battle, it would mean that they had reached a distance of less than fifty meters from the enemy's position, which would mean that they would have a chance to win.  .

    The Ukrainian Volunteer Division on the defensive side relies on solid trench positions and mg08 heavy machine gun infantry mortars. Of course, there are also a large number of German long-handled grenades waiting to serve the Allied forces rushing up.

    Semyon Semyonovich Levandovsky yesterday witnessed the attack process of the 49th Infantry Regiment, under the cover of a company of ten wheeled armored fighting vehicles of the Chinese Armored Forces, easily rushing into the rifle range, and the opponent's machine gun fire  Neither the density nor the firepower of the mortars was alarming. Of course, at the battle review held overnight at the division headquarters afterwards, he also learned how the 51st Infantry Regiment attacking on the right wing had lost its mortars at the critical moment due to insufficient ammunition.  The dilemma of being unable to suppress the opponent's firepower.

    Although Levandovsky's 50th Infantry Regiment only has one 8-gun M81 mortar platoon, fortunately the brigade commander Dushkevich is also a man who knows soldiers. Since he can use the divisional anti-aircraft gun company given by the division commander  They were all strengthened to the 50th Infantry Regiment, which was responsible for the main attack. Then the m81 mortar platoon of the 49th Infantry Regiment was also strengthened by the brigade commander to Levandovsky's regiment. Of course, there was also the 49th Infantry Regiment.  group'sThere are heavy machine guns and company M60 mortars.

    In this way, although Levandovsky's 50th Infantry Regiment is an infantry regiment, it has the entire brigade's heavy machine guns and mortars in terms of firepower. In total, it has 2 Browning air-cooled heavy machine guns, 16  M81 mortars, 48 ??M60 mortars, in addition, there are 36 Browning squad machine guns and 72 M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles to help out. Of course, the trump card and variables depend on 6 of China¡¯s latest models.  How powerful is the 37mm anti-aircraft gun/anti-tank gun.

    At first glance, Levandovsky¡¯s style of play is no different from the style of play yesterday afternoon commanded by the commanders of the 51st Infantry Regiment, Maxim and Markoevich Bavlov, of the Federal Infantry Regiment.  It was an infantry regiment with a full strength of 2,500 men. The first wave of attacks was the 1st and 2nd infantry battalions and 2 regiment-affiliated mortar platoons commanded by the regiment chief of staff Sarskov.

    Regiment commander Levandovsky commanded the 3rd Infantry Battalion, the regiment's reconnaissance company, engineer baggage company and communication service platoon to stay on the forward position as a reserve team. Of course, the six 37mm anti-aircraft guns of the division's anti-aircraft gun company had also been  Hidden in the artillery positions at the forward position, they were ready.
