    Therefore, at the moment, the 13th Federal Infantry Division is quite proud of being the main force of the Bundeswehr. If it were not for the insufficient production capacity of mortars and machine guns, sooner or later it would be equipped with the same squad machine guns and platoon M60 mortars as the Chinese army.  , the battalion is equipped with M81 mortars, instead of the current situation where companies are equipped with M60 mortars and regiments are equipped with M81 mortars.  §êw§ë

    As for the rifle, the power of the Mosin-Nagant rifle is not much worse than the Springfield type made in China, but it is a bit too heavy. Obviously, neither Vozhnev nor his soldiers like the Japanese 38-type Gai.

    July 31, 1918 9:30 German-Ukrainian Allied Forces Frontline Command in Kharkov North District

    "Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, Your Excellency General, the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Volunteer Division requested artillery support in the city. The 2nd Brigade is preparing to send 2 battalions of the 4th Regiment to counterattack while the enemy is not on a stable footing. The opponent's position 1,200 meters in front of our position  Take down the field fortifications, otherwise the 76cm light infantry mortars we are equipped with will not be able to hit the opponent's position, and the opponent's M60 mortars will hide in the fortifications and bombard our soldiers so that they will not dare to enter the trenches!"

    A Ukrainian staff officer put down the phone in his hand and reported to von Neuhaus and Simon Petliura, who were standing side by side and looking through binoculars at the battlefield situation in the north of the city.

    "Order the 2nd Brigade not to act rashly and wait for orders from the headquarters!" Major General Sven von Neuhaus, who was still holding a telescope in his hand to look at the battlefield situation on the northern front, replied without looking back. Although Major General von Neuhaus was only stationed in  Commander of the 47th Infantry Division of the 29th Infantry Corps of the 10th Ukrainian-German Army, but as a confidant of von Francois, the former enemy commander-in-chief of the German-Ukrainian Allied Forces, he now serves as the deputy chief of staff of the former enemy headquarters and is responsible for directly commanding Hal  Cobh Front.

    Before the major general finished speaking, Simon Petlyura, the head of the Ukrainian Cabinet, Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, and Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian National Army, who was also observing the battlefield situation with binoculars, could no longer hold his temper anymore and couldn't help saying,

    "Major General, I see that the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Kharkiv Volunteer Division fought well just now. The 3rd Infantry Regiment, the main force, completely blocked the enemy 1,200 meters north of the position. Of course, are our machine guns firing hard?  If we had known that the opponent was so weak, we should have put them within the range of our mortars and beat them hard! How about following the 2nd Brigade's request and covering them with artillery fire from the city? "

    Obviously, the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian National Army is quite proud at the moment. The position defended by the 1st Brigade yesterday was too wide, which prevented the concentration of troops and firepower. Moreover, it was the first time for the Volunteer Division to fight a battle of this scale. Morale in all aspects  They were all a little nervous. The enemy rushed 300 meters in front of the position in one breath, which made the entire position in danger and people panicked. The 2nd Brigade that was replaced after adjusting and shrinking the defense line today was obviously calmer than the 1st Brigade yesterday.  More The two battalions launched by the coalition forces rushed to 1,200 meters away and were intercepted by the blazing machine gun fire of the defenders

    Von Neuhaus frowned and before he could answer, there were footsteps outside the door behind him. The two looked back and saw Oleg Oneyevich Husev, commander of the 1st Division of Kharkov Volunteers.  He stepped through the door with a loud bang on the corridor, followed by two orderlies. The bearded Major General Husev stood at attention after entering the door, and said carelessly,

    "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Your Excellency Major General, the 2nd Brigade has stopped the enemy, why haven't we fired yet? We can't just watch the enemy dig fortifications and communication trenches under our noses. While morale is still strong, use artillery to cover the infantry.  The 4th Regiment can deploy three battalions to counterattack and drive the enemy out of the field fortifications 1,200 meters away!"

    "Oleg Onyevich, why are you here when you are not in your command position? The 2nd Brigade fought well today, but do you understand that you are absent from duty?!" Simon Petliura frowned  scolded.

    The 1st Brigade of the 1st Volunteer Division was in a very awkward position during the defense yesterday. As the division commander, Khushev was squatting in the division headquarters in Beicheng District to avoid artillery shells. He had a poor grasp of the situation of the troops, so he was defeated by Petliura early this morning.  I rushed this guy to the 2nd Brigade Headquarters to take direct command. Unexpectedly, this guy actually sneaked back to the former enemy headquarters without permission to ask for a fight.

    The northern defense line of Kharkiv stretches for 7 kilometers. The first trench position is about 2,000 meters to 2,200 meters away from the second position in the north city. At this time, the main force of the 2nd Brigade, the 3rd Regiment, is guarding the first position. The brigade command  The troops and the 4th Infantry Regiment were hiding in a reserve position about 1 kilometer behind the first position. Spider-web-like traffic trenches and fortifications, shelters, troop tunnels, and ammunition depots were almost all over this 2,000-meter-thick trench-style fortification.  area. At this time, Khushev, as the chief officer who went down to the 2nd Brigade to directly control the troops, should be in the shelter 1,000 meters in front of the former enemy headquarters.

    "Commander-in-Chief, aren't I anxious? When the enemy attacked, I shouted at the 2nd Brigade Headquarters for a long time to request artillery support, but the city didn't fire a single shot Fortunately, the boys fought hard and used machine guns alone to kill them.  The enemy is blocked 1,200 meters away It's fair to say that they are holding on like this.?Loose

    But the other party is building fortifications right under our noses, so we can't just sit back and watch, right?  But okay, the fortifications are dug deep now, and our machine gun firepower can no longer threaten the opponent. The range is only 1,000 meters, just out of reach. The opponent's M60 mortar is hiding in the dug fortifications, but it can be used hard.  We bombard our positions at will, and now the machine gun fire points that are not protected by fortifications have been killed by the opponent's mortars What should we do if the brothers dare not enter the trenches and take up positions just because they are being beaten!  "

    Hu Xev, the commander of the 1st Volunteer Division, spread his hands and explained in pain, the difficulties encountered in guarding the position.

    Although Simon Petliura thought it made sense after hearing this, he still glared at Khushev and said, "I know how to attack the former enemy headquarters. Your 2nd Brigade must not underestimate the enemy and rush in. Now get back to the 2nd Brigade."  Go, no one on the northern front is allowed to attack without orders from the enemy headquarters! Anyone who disobeys military orders will be shot without mercy!"

    After driving out the unhappy commander of the 1st Volunteer Division, Khushev, the Ukrainian Prime Minister turned back and muttered to von Neuhaus, who had been silent.

    "General, what do you thinkthe coalition forces are planning?
