    Of course, it is impossible to compare with the coalition artillery, but the basic artillery skills of the Ukrainian artillery are not too bad. The key depends on how to dispatch and command on the spot. In addition, it depends on who has sufficient ammunition reserves. In the case of insufficient accuracy,  Under this situation, he can only rely on the frequency and persistence of gunfire to cover and suppress the target position. The gun reserve of the 75mm 38-type field artillery battery he has is 2 base 180-round guns, but the captured 75mm Krupp field gun  The gun's gun reserve is only 90 rounds, and the 105mm German light howitzer's gun has only 60 rounds.  high speed

    Of course, the coalition center army discovered an astonishing number of 75mm field guns and 105mm howitzers in the underground magazine of the core artillery position behind the first line of defense near the Ukrainian border that the Ukrainians had no time to withdraw and destroy.  Transportation and supply are being intensively carried out along routes such as the railway line, Kharkov Northern Suburban Station, the floating bridge across the Kharkov River, the Forest Avenue, and the artillery position of the 23rd Infantry Brigade.  

    "Well, you have to have the belief and courage to win like Mizuno. The regiment of Eizaki Masako under Kikuchi can defeat the opponent's main infantry division. Now I have strengthened 2 infantry brigades and so many artillery for you, and also  With the support of the Chinese armored forces, if we can't defeat you, the captain, consider committing seppuku and apologize!" Brigade Commander Muto frowned and bared his teeth to scare the captain of the 19th Infantry Regiment.

    "Major General Muto, the Ukrainians blocked the east road with felled trees, blocking the way for my armored troops to assault eastward along the road. If you plan to have a black tiger take out your heart in the middle of the day, just  I'm afraid I have to have the infantry of the well commander go into battle! Of course, my armored troops can provide fire support behind the roadblock!" Major Li Shang, the commander of the Chinese Armored 2nd Battalion, reminded Major General Japan unhurriedly.  

    "Pass my order, the frontline troops will strengthen their vigilance and reconnaissance, the troops in the ambush circle will continue to hide and wait, and let the captains rush back to the brigade headquarters for evaluation. This time, I will give the Ukrainians a lesson!"  Let Kikuchi, Hashimoto and Tanaka, who are sitting on the mountain watching the battle, see it, and let Commander Oba division see that our Muto brigade is an ace unit that can accomplish difficult tasks." Muto turned around twice and decided not to decide!  , while ordering the captains to be recalled to prepare The three cobblers took over Zhuge Liang's work and conducted the pre-military evaluation again!

    Almost 20 minutes later, the five Japanese army captains on the position handed over their troops to their deputies and rushed back to the brigade headquarters out of breath. This place is about 10 kilometers away from the three-way intersection in the Kharkov forest.  The Kharkiv River is a little more than 12 kilometers away, and the closest distance to the enemy's previous position in the east is nearly 6 kilometers. In fact, if the Ukrainians launch an artillery attack, both sides are likely to be within each other's artillery range. Fortunately, the coalition forces  There was no artillery fire to expose the position, and the artillerymen of the 4th Ukrainian Infantry Division in the southeast did not make a sound either.

    "Gentlemen, the 7th Artillery Battalion and the 19th Artillery Battalion are entering the brigade's main artillery position. The 7th Infantry Regiment commanded by Colonel Mizuno has occupied the Kharkov bridgehead and is now continuing to put pressure on the defenders. But obviously the Germans  We have learned a bit from the Ukrainians. Not only did the artillery in the city not fire, but the three main Ukrainian divisions in the east did not move to the west. Now, what lies before us is the task of taking the initiative to attack eastward. I want to hear from everyone.  There is no need to mention the idea that the main force of the brigade gave up the east, turned around and retreated to the west to attack the city with all its strength!"

    Muto Nobuyoshi got straight to the point and set the theme of the evaluation on how to deal with the three main infantry divisions in Ukraine in the east, giving up the chance of the generals turning back to support the Mizuno 7th Regiment!

    Brigade Chief of Staff Takagi Kazui didn't say anything for a while. The ball was obviously kicked to the five infantry captains below. The two captains of the 7th Infantry Regiment were not here because their own captains were not here. Their troops were considered to be cooperative.  The 19th Infantry Regiment in the well was fighting, so they all stared at the toes of their military boots, pricking up their ears to hear what the captains of the 19th Infantry Regiment had to say. In the pocket formation layout, the 7th Infantry Regiment  The two brigades were arranged on the north side of the road, facing the position of the 3rd Ukrainian Infantry Division, while the three infantry brigades of the 19th Infantry Regiment were arranged on the south side of the road, facing the Ukrainian 3rd Infantry Division.  The position of the 4th Division.

    Guarding the brigade headquarters on the middle road are two armored companies of the Chinese 2nd Armored Battalion. The artillery positions are on both sides of the road to the west of the brigade headquarters. The forward material base established by the baggage and logistics troops is on the west side of the brigade headquarters, including  The health team and field hospital are actually the positions of the Muto brigade within a five-mile radius.

    "My brigade of reconnaissance vanguards have had several exchanges of fire with the Ukrainian outpost security forces. Both sides have suffered casualties. To be fair, the other side's combat effectiveness is not weak, and the rifle fire is accurate. The key is that we are not familiar with the terrain, and we have to fight in unfamiliar terrain.  If you engage in firefights with the other party in the forest area, you still need to be cautious" The speaker was Major Furushuo Yoshiro, captain of the 55th Infantry Battalion, the main force of the 19th Infantry Regiment.

    Furusou Mikiro) Army Captain Furusou Mikiro from Kumamoto Prefecture?The eldest son.  On November 22, 1902, he graduated from the 14th Infantry Section of the Army Non-commissioned Officer School (second among 702 people). On June 26 of the following year, he was awarded the rank of second lieutenant of the infantry and served as the 4th Guards Infantry Regiment.

    Major Guzhuang also participated in the Japanese-Russian War (suffering battle injuries). He graduated with excellent results from the 21st batch of the Army University School on December 3, 1909 (chief among 55 people), and became a standard "excellent soldier" in the Japanese Army.  . Then, like most graduates from Mainland China, he started as a member of the Army General Staff Headquarters, and was stationed in Germany to study military affairs. He was an assistant military attache at the German Embassy and a member of the General Staff Headquarters (stationed in Europe).

    In this time and space of 1918, the 36-year-old Major Chiro Furuso was still serving as the major captain of the 55th Infantry Battalion of the 19th Infantry Regiment. The eldest son of Furushu, who was born in Kumamoto Prefecture, had a somewhat bumpy career.  Nine years after graduation, he will be promoted to Major Captain. Compared with Ishihara and Itagaki who jumped three levels in one year, Guzhuang, a senior from the mainland, is obviously unwilling to do so. After all, he was in the 14th issue of the Roku University.  When he graduated, he was ranked second among 702 graduates.
