    This is also the basis for Mizuno Taisuke to be promoted to the position of Captain of the Field Forces 10 years after graduating from Riku University. Of course, General Tanaka¡¯s cousin, King Tanaka, is even more perverted than Mizuno. He graduated from Riku University in the 22nd class.  It took Tanaka and Wang Lu less than nine years to become captain of the artillery regiment of the Colonel after graduating from university.  §êw§ë

    Although Mizuno has a bad temper, his 7th Infantry Regiment is a well-trained unit. The reason why brigade commander Muto Nobuyoshi only agreed to give Mizuno a brigade to attack the east city of Kharkov is for a simple reason. Muto  The focus is not on Kharkov in the west, but is preparing to carry out siege and reinforcements in the east. The target is the 3rd and 4th Ukrainian Infantry Division in the east, so the 23rd Infantry Brigade needs to concentrate 5 infantrymen.  The main force of the brigade set up pocket formations in the east, while in the west, only Mizuno's main force, the 19th Infantry Battalion, was left.

    Of course, the two artillery brigades of the 7th Infantry Regiment and the 19th Infantry Regiment were assigned to the command of Mizuno Taisuke. At the same time, the M81 mortar squadrons of the 20th and 21st Infantry Regiment were left to Mizuno Taisuke.  Eight M81 mortars from the mortar platoon of the Chinese 2nd Armored Battalion were also reinforced to the 19th Infantry Group together with the 1st Company of the 2nd Armored Battalion.

    In this way, the forces that the 41-year-old Mizuno Taisuke can directly command are as follows:

    The entire 19th Infantry Brigade of the 7th Wing. This standard 1,100-man infantry brigade includes: a 30-man brigade headquarters, a 110-man transport squadron of carts and mules, 4 infantry squadrons; and a 174-man machine gun squadron.  14-man squadron headquarters and 3 machine gun squads, 1 ammunition squad, each platoon has 4 Browning 762 air-cooled heavy machine guns, a total of 12 guns; a 55-man artillery squad, a 10-man squad headquarters, and 1  The 15-man ammunition squad and the two 15-man artillery squads are each equipped with four Chinese-made 81mm battalion mortars.

    The 55-man artillery squad of the 20th and 21st Infantry Brigades are each equipped with 8 M81 mortars.

    The 7th Artillery Battalion of the 7th Infantry Regiment has an establishment of 364 people. It has two artillery squadrons of 170 people, each equipped with 4 guns; the 19th Artillery Battalion of the 19th Infantry Regiment also has an organization of 364 people.  There are two 170-man artillery squadrons, each equipped with 4 guns; in addition, as the air defense force of the wing, the infantry h¨¨ artillery/anti-tank gun squadron, a 14-man squadron of 3, and 3 squadrons each have 2  Each of the 12-man artillery squads is equipped with a Chinese-made m19183h¨¨ gun/anti-tank gun. The entire squadron has 6 anti-aircraft guns.

    With the popularity and equipment of the Chinese-made m19183h¨¨ gun/anti-tank gun in the coalition forces, the Japanese artillery brigade at the wing level has also replaced the original 75mm mountain cannon with the more powerful h¨¨ task of targeting the opponent's fortifications.  The latest 3h¨¨/anti-tank gun made in China was used to undertake the task.

    There are 10 fd17ii wheeled armored fighting vehicles of the 1st Company of the 2nd Armored Battalion of China, and the M81 mortar platoon of the 2nd Armored Battalion. The commander of the Chinese armored forces is Captain Shi Qingshang, the company commander of the 1st Company of the 2nd Armored Battalion.

    Colonel Mizuno Taisuke felt that he had a strong army and an astonishing firepower. In addition to the 16 38-type field guns from the 2 field artillery brigades, the trump card in his hand was the 32 Chinese-made M81 battalion mortars. Of course, the M81 could not  Against the opponent's 75mm Krupp field cannon, the mg08 machine gun and h¨¨ range used to clean up the Ukrainians on the position are still just as powerful.

    As for the 10 fd17ii wheeled armored combat vehicles of Shi Qingshang's 1st Armored Company, they are the last trump card in Mizuno Taisuke's hands, and they have no intention of going into battle until the critical moment.

    This offensive and defensive battle is destined to be a back-and-forth tug-of-war. The task given to Mizuno by brigade commander Nobuyoshi Muto is to continuously consume and destroy the opponent's machine gun fortifications and mortar positions, and to defeat the opponent until he can't lift him.  First of all, once the opponent's machine gun and mortar firepower is suppressed, unless the Ukrainians are ruthless and blow up the bridge, the opponent will definitely not be able to hold it.

    This is not a battle over whose human sea tactics are more effective, but a battle over whose firepower and stamina are greater. The 2nd and 4th companies of the 2nd Armored Battalion commanded by Li Shang are advancing along the Hal  The path on the north side of the three-way intersection in the Kov Forest continues to advance south along the river, making a big splash for the tactical operation to detour south of Kharkov. Although the road to the south is rugged and narrow, the fd17ii tied with anti-skid chains  Wheeled armored fighting vehicles can still propel

    Mizuno moved part of the flags of the 20th and 21st Infantry Brigades to the 19th Infantry Brigade. He planned to change the flags every time he attacked. The purpose was to cause at least one Japanese infantry regiment to storm the east city of Kharkov.  However, in fact, the main force of the 23rd Infantry Brigade, under the direct command of the brigade commander Nobuyoshi Muto, advanced eastward along the road to 8 kilometers away, where the pocket formation for siege and reinforcements was located.

    In addition to the main force of the five infantry brigades, Muto also has the support of the Duli Armored Battalion commanded by Chinese Major Wu Keren. The 3rd Armored Company still guards the brigade headquarters, while the 2nd and 4th Armored Companies are already in Lishang.  Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, they advanced southwards and along the river.

    At the same time, 3 kilometers north of the three-way intersection from the pontoon ferry upstream from Kharkiv, which is near Muto's artillery core positionAt the base camp and logistics base of ??, a logistics transportation line composed of a mixture of Dodge 1 and a half ton military trucks from the Chinese armored battalion and large trucks from the Japanese logistics force was also established. A steady stream of supplies came from the north of Kharkiv.  The train was unloaded and transported to the front line by the baggage troops of the 23rd Infantry Brigade. The focus was on hoarding artillery shells and fuel. The distance of this logistics support line was roughly less than 30 kilometers, and warnings were placed along the way.

    "Your Excellency, Captain, I request the use of Chinese armored forces to attack. The Ukrainians have at least nearly 20 mg08 heavy machine guns in the bridgehead fortifications on the other side to intercept my offensive troops. Now the 73rd Infantry Squadron of the 19th Infantry Group has suffered one-third casualties.  With only one force, it would be too much to lose if this battle continues like this!" The one holding his neck and panting was the captain of the 19th Infantry Brigade, Kotaro Nakamura, who had just failed to lead the troops to attack the bridge.
