Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    This is the battlefield, this is war. Even the M81 mortar group deployed in the forest at this moment is having a lot of fun watching the Germans and Ukrainians' guns with a range of only 1 kilometer.  Bully the opponent, but once the opponent's 75mm field artillery group ambushed in the city fires, the coalition mortar group in the forest will also suffer a major blow, unless you keep adjusting your position east of the intervals between shooting.  .  §êw§ë

    In fact, the Ukrainian firepower looks very weak at the moment, but the coalition's machine guns and mortars have obviously lost their target. In this era of hot weapons, the so-called attack of setting up a ladder to climb the city is obviously not feasible. Since the coalition's vanguard force  After taking advantage of the firepower to attack the bridge at the cost of less than 200 casualties, on the premise of holding the bridgehead, clearing the opponent's flanks or attacking the city gate was a matter of choice.

    "Your Excellency, Captain, I heard that this fortress has a history of more than 200 years. The walls are 3 feet high and are made of huge rocks. Now even the front of the city gate has been built into a fortress with thick sandbags. The 75mm field guns behind us  Throwing so many shells at them has no effect, and it is obviously very difficult to break through the city gate!" The person who spoke was Major Toshio Maeda of the 7th Infantry Regiment.

    Captain Toshihi Maeda of the 7th Infantry Regiment is not a simple figure either. Toshihi Maeda is 188565194295 from Ishikawa Prefecture. This guy is the 16th generation head of the Maeda family of the Kaga Domain. His ancestors are from the Warring States Period of Japan.  Maeda Toshiie, a famous military commander and one of Toyotomi Hideyoshi¡¯s five elders.

    The 33-year-old Toshima Maeda, like Kotaro Nakamura, the captain of the 19th Infantry Battalion, are both natives of Ishikawa Prefecture. Maeda Toshima is the adopted son of Maeda Toshiaki, the fifth son of the Nankaichi Domain Lord Maeda Toshiaki.  On June 13, 1900, he inherited the title of Marquis Maeda Toshi.  On March 30, 1905, he graduated from the 17th Infantry Section of the Army Sergeant School, ranking 79th out of 363 people. On April 21 of the same year, he was awarded the rank of second lieutenant of the infantry and was appointed attached to the 4th Guards Infantry Regiment.

    Maeda Toshiwei, who had average performance during his military career, graduated from the 23rd batch of the Army University on November 29, 1911 with very good results. He was a member of the saber team and ranked third among the 52 students in the 23rd batch of the Army University.  .  After graduating from the Mainland University, Maeda Toshio served as an assistant to the General Staff Headquarters. Then he went to Germany to study at his own expense. In World War I, he joined the British army, served as a member of the General Staff Headquarters, and traveled to Europe and the United States.

    In Wang Geng¡¯s previous life, Maeda Toshiba, the heir to the Maeda family, had a keen academic spirit. He was successively an instructor at the Mainland University and a member of the General Staff Headquarters, and traveled to Europe on business trips.

    Of course, in this time and space of 1918, the 33-year-old Marquis Toshio Maeda was still serving as the Regiment Attachment of the 7th Infantry Regiment. Seven years after graduating from the 23rd batch of the Mainland University, the Marquis had been promoted to the rank of Major Regiment.  Team attachment, this regiment attachment is completely different from the regiment attachment that Lu Shi served as when he graduated. After Lu Shi graduated, he was awarded the rank of second lieutenant, and the company attachment he served was equivalent to the second lieutenant adjutant of the regiment headquarters, while Lu Shi graduated from Lu University and was awarded the rank of lieutenant or captain.  , serving as the wing's deputy, equivalent to the wing captain's deputy, or the wing's chief of staff!

    In this time and space in 1918, the 33-year-old Major Toshio Maeda, the million-stone descendant of the Kaga Domain, was still serving as the deputy to the commander of the Japanese Infantry Regiment, Mizuno Taisuke, in the 7th Infantry Regiment, and served as Wang Geng¡¯s funeral committee member in his previous life.  The elder Kotaro Nakamura, as a senior of the 20th period of the mainland who was also born in the Kaga Domain, is currently leading two infantry squadrons of the 19th Infantry Battalion in a bloody battle at the Kharkov Bridge.

    Mizuno glanced at his regiment and saw that Maeda was an excellent staff officer. As the hereditary inheritor of the Maeda family's Marquis, it was quite rare to be able to participate in the Russo-Japanese War and the March to Siberia with a strong soldier.  However, Mizuno also knew that General Utsunomiya would not place a general with a noble background like Maeda in the position of a field force commander at the level of captain. The probability of casualties of a Japanese army captain was higher than that of a commander at the level of commander.  Much bigger.

    In the future career of Lord Maeda, he will either be promoted to captain of the regiment or chief of staff of the brigade. There is no other choice. At this moment, the captain of the 7th Infantry Regiment snorted softly and said, "Maeda  Sir, what do you want us to do instead of directly attacking the city gate and pushing in along the city wall? Wouldn't that completely expose our attacking troops to the firepower of the enemy's city wall?"

    From Mizuno's point of view, using the advantage of artillery fire to blow open the city gate, and then swarming in to kill a black tiger is the best choice. At the moment, he only has the strength of an infantry brigade. If he really lets it go,  I'm afraid it won't be enough for the defenders to fill their teeth. After all, the opponent has a geographical advantage. This doesn't mean that more people can swarm the city. The key is that at this moment, your own strength is at a disadvantage. If you can't open the city gate, then  If they can't attack Kharkov City, even if Commander Muto brigade recruits the 20th and 21st Infantry Brigades, he won't be able to make an effort.

    "Maeda-kun, our troops are insufficient. The enemy's main force guarding the east city is at least a Ukrainian volunteer infantry brigade. The combined number is three times ours. We are now holding the bridgehead position west of the Kharkov Bridge, and then concentrate our fire."?As for attacking the city gate, as long as the gate is blown open, the will of the defenders will inevitably collapse. It is not a good idea to develop to the two wings or climb the city. You have to understand?  "

    Mizuno said without further delay, he waved his hand and ordered, "Inform Major General Muto that the 7th Infantry Regiment has captured the Kharkov Bridge and is concentrating artillery fire to prepare to attack the east gate of the Kharkov Fortress! Please request the brigade's logistics and supplies troops as soon as possible  Replenish the artillery brigade with ammunition and as many mortar shells as possible!¡±

    Then the captain of the 7th Infantry Regiment said to the messenger sent by Nakamura who was still breathing, "Go back and tell you, Major Nakamura, that the mission of his two infantry squadrons is to defend the positions near the bridgehead. As long as the bridgehead is there, the bridge will be  Now, we will maintain the attack and transfer channel, and I will send the baggage team up to help clear the obstacles on the bridge and remove the lightly and seriously injured people. When the artillery blasts open the east gate of the fortress, we will launch a full-scale attack!"

    After Nakamura's messenger rushed back with a "Hai", Mizuno shouted at the top of his lungs, "Major Maeda, inform the telephone soldier that the field phone call between me and Nakamura's brigade on the other side of the river has been connected within 20 minutes! It's too late!"  Shoot!"
