    Of course, using an infantry brigade to attack an opponent's infantry division head-on may not necessarily lead to the expected progress, but Okamoto has also made some calculations. He plans to rely on radio command to dispatch the artillery of the brigade to attack the opponent's position, and his own infantry will only be used when necessary.  The attack at the breakthrough point, and Yesterday, the 18th Infantry Regiment of Masago Eizaki received two air supports from the Allied Air Force. In today's battle, as long as the Allied Air Force can appear over the forest once, the 19th Infantry Regiment will  The team has a great chance of winning this battle.

    "Send the 57th Infantry Group to continue its detour south? Isn't it too far? The situation on the southern front is unclear. What if the Germans come with reinforcements from the south?" Takagi, the brigade chief of staff, said to himself  looked at the map and said.  

    "Lieutenant Colonel Okamoto, this Ukrainian forest is not that simple. Looking at the map to the south and southeast, there are wetlands and lakes crisscrossed by rivers. There are also countless paths and traps in the forest. If we go back to the south in a roundabout way, you will be alone.  How is it possible for the infantry brigade to hold back three of the opponent's divisions? On the contrary, it weakens our frontal assault and offensive forces!

    I know you want to use the radio to guide and direct the brigade artillery to provide fire coverage and support. Maybe you also hope that the next wave of air strikes from the coalition air force will give priority to your attack direction, but this is the Kharkiv Forest, where shelling and  The power of air strikes has been greatly reduced. Are you too optimistic?  "

    How could Chiroro Furushuo allow Okamoto to be better than his predecessors? At the end of last year, Okamoto overpowered him and came from behind to be promoted to lieutenant colonel. Major Furushuo was so depressed that he was going crazy. Now Okamoto is uniquely instigating the use of the southern route.  Of course it would be a good thing if the tactics can be implemented. The problem is that this big forest is full of swamps, rivers and bushes. An infantry brigade can be thrown in without making a sound. Overly radical and risky tactics are not feasible in Guzhuang's view.  Pick.  

    "Mr. Guzhuang's words make sense. I think that following the brigade commander's idea, we can concentrate our troops along the two wings of the road to dig out the black tiger's heart. The Ukrainian defense line is like an egg shell. The first layer of hard points, once cut,  There is just egg yolk inside, so we can pinch it as we please. The opponent's artillery is not inferior to ours in number. I would suggest calling in the air support of the Allied Air Force. In this way, once the battle starts, as long as the opponent's artillery exposes its position, we can use our air force's air strikes to destroy it.  Defeat them, then it’s time for our artillery battle. It’s not easy for the 75mm field artillery to blast through the stone walls of Kharkov, but beating the opponent’s infantry in the forest is a sure win!”

    The one who stood up to respond to Furushu's style of play was Major Takekawa Mitsu, the captain of the 56th Infantry Battalion. Takekawa Mitsu (たてかわよしつぐ, Meiji 13th year (October 3ri, 1880 - Showa 20th year (September 9ri, 1945)  A soldier of the Imperial Japanese Army. In Wang Geng's previous life, Jianchuan's final rank in the army was also an army lieutenant general.

    Takekawa Mitsuji was the third son of Nozaki Yoshitaka, a local official in Hongta Prefecture, and later became the adopted son of his father's friend Shuhei Takekawa.  Graduated from Takada Junior High School and Old System Shiga Junior High School.  In November 1901 (Meiji 34), the 13th class of the Army Officer School graduated.

    Among the graduates in the same period of the 13th batch of Lushi, Nogi Katsunori’s eldest son Nogi Katsunori died in the Russo-Japanese War).  In August 1904 (Meiji 37), Jianchuan set out for the US-Japanese-Russian War.  As a general under the Akiyama Yoshiko Cavalry Brigade, Captain Takekawa was very active. In February 1905 (Meiji 38), he received a meritorious service certificate from the commander of the 2nd Army, General Okuyasu Kon, and became a close friend of Minetaro Yamanaka.  A prototype that spans three hundred miles.  (One day is equal to four kilometers.

    As a classmate of Furusou Chiro and Okamoto Renichiro at the same time, Takekawa Miji graduated from the 21st Saber Class of Army University in December 1909 (Meiji 42).  Of course, among the graduates at the same time was Juichi Terauchi, the eldest son of Army General Masaki Terauchi.

    As a Japanese soldier with a short stature, Jianchuan had no choice but to choose the cavalry department. After all, Jianchuan on a horse looks much more majestic and powerful than Jianchuan standing on the ground. As a graduate of the cavalry department, he can be promoted to the 21st Saber Team of the Mainland University.  (The top six are due to his bravery and faith.

    Takekawa Mitsuji was born in 1880, two years older than Furusou Takaro and two years younger than Okamoto Renichiro. Takekawa, who was 147 centimeters tall, graduated from the Army Officers School in November 1901 (Meiji 34) and graduated from the 13th class of the Army Officers School in 1902 (Meiji 35).  In June 1905, he was promoted to cavalry second lieutenant of the 9th Cavalry Regiment. In November 1904, he was promoted to cavalry lieutenant. In December 1905, he was promoted to instructor of the Army Cavalry School.  In 1909, Takekawa was promoted to a cavalry captain in June 1909. In December, he graduated from the 21st class of the Army University with honors and served as a member of the staff headquarters.

    After that, the British stationed Mitsuji Takekawa in August 1911, the Indian military attache in July 1913, and the European War War Observer in January 1916, the General Staff Headquarters.  In May, he became a cavalry major, and in August, he became a British soldier.  , at the end of 1917, with the rank of cavalry major, he served as the captain of the 56th Infantry Brigade of the 23rd Infantry Brigade, 19th Infantry Regiment, Mutoh Infantry Regiment.

    For Major Takekawa Mitsu, who has become the captain of the field force, he can do anything whether he is commanding infantry or cavalry.??He is riding on a tall horse to command troops in combat. Jianchuan is also the only general among the Eastern Front Allied Forces of the Allied Powers who does not care about the Chinese-made FJ18 Hummer reconnaissance and command off-road vehicle. He believes that sitting in the Hummer command vehicle is far inferior to riding on a tall horse.  Of course, if he could be given a tall and powerful Chinese fd17ii wheeled armored fighting vehicle as a ride, he would be happy to accept it.

    In the current time and space of 1918, Takekawa-san is still just a subordinate of Muto who commands the 56th Infantry Battalion with the rank of cavalry major. This guy stands up to support Furushu instead of Okamoto. Firstly, he, a guy with a cavalry background, has no intention of walking along the road.  There is a lot of experience and reliance on offense. The second thing is that Okamoto, a guy who graduated in the same period of 21 years, actually rushed to be promoted to lieutenant colonel before Furuzhuang and Jianchuan. This made Jianchuan and Furuzhuang feel a bit like the same enemy.

    Jianchuan's other little calculation is that the Allied Air Force is actually composed of the Chinese combat air force. When it comes to air-ground coordination, the Chinese armored forces that must advance along the main road are the first priority target of the Allied Air Force's support. Okamoto  It was completely wishful thinking to think that his group could get priority air support by entering the forest and detouring.
