- The Okamoto Brigade's roundabout operations in the south were completely delayed by the swamps, and without the fire support of the brigade's long-range artillery, they had to use a 1,200-man Japanese infantry brigade to repel the Ukrainian 4th Infantry Division's over 10,000 troops. Obviouslyit can't be done. §êw§ë
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander It's such a pity We underestimated the tenacity of the Ukrainian artillery, and the base number of artillery shells in the stockpile was too small They were all consumed in less than half an hour Fortunately, the opponent's artillery was also finished. Artillery shells, otherwise we will really suffer today" Two Chinese major battalion commanders burst into the Mutoh brigade headquarters with a face full of gunpowder smoke. Walking in front was Major Wu Keren, commander of the artillery battalion of the 1st Armored Regiment.
"No, no! Major Wu, I am quite satisfied with the performance of your artillery battalion. You only have one 75mm field artillery company that is a skilled gunner of the armored regiment. The remaining three artillery companies are mainly organized with Ukrainian prisoners. , To be honest, when the artillery battle was at its fiercest, I was really afraid that your Ukrainian gunners, who had surrendered less than 24 hours ago, would not be able to withstand the opponent's artillery fire and run away" Major General Muto Nobuyoshi forced a smile and stepped forward. Shaking hands with China Wu, Li Shang, the commander of the 3rd Armored Battalion who followed him, secretly laughed in his heart. Three-quarters of his own two artillery brigades were disabled, so he knew how to win over and comfort Wu Keren first
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander Why did you stop the attack My 2nd and 4th armored companies have not yet been fully deployed. Major Domon's troops can maintain the existing front lines on both sides of the road. My armored forces Continue the assault eastward along the road, the Ukrainian artillery has now withdrawn from the battle, and there is nothing that can stop us except the roadblocks that can be cleared"
Major Li Shang stepped forward and saluted Muto and Takagi, then showed a dissatisfied look and began to criticize the order given by Muto just now.
"Uh there's no rush Major Li, your armored forces have provided sufficient fire support to the Duomen Brigade. Now you have to seize the time to rest and replenish ammunition, otherwise Duomen will be counterattacked by the opponent's three divisions at the same time. But it may not be tenable in the current position"
The brigade chief of staff, Takagi, smiled and stepped forward, holding Li Shang's hand and comforting the Chinese major for Muto He sighed in his heart that it was a pity that the battlefield was not on a plain, otherwise Li Shang, a brave Chinese major, would have led two armored companies. It could really defeat the 2nd Ukrainian Infantry Division. Didn't Lishan's 3rd Battalion wipe out Mihalik's main regiment in the forest upstream of the Kharkov River yesterday?
"Your Excellency Muto, Chief of Staff, the 7th Artillery Battalion has failed to live up to your expectations We have lost 6 of our 8 75mm field guns I am here to apologize!" The one who entered next was the 7th Infantry Regiment. Captain Naosaburo Okabe of the Artillery Battalion.
Naosaburo Okabe, 1887-930-1946, was a native of Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. In Wang Geng¡¯s previous life, he served as the commander of the Sixth Front Army of the Japanese invaders and an army general. He died of cerebral hemorrhage in the Japanese War Criminals Hospital in Shanghai in 1946. He was the top Japanese general who died of illness in China after the war.
Naosaburo Okabe graduated from the Japanese Army Military Academy and the Japanese Army University, and studied abroad as a military graduate student. Naosaburo Okabe graduated from the artillery section of the 18th phase of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School. On June 26 of the following year, he was awarded the rank of artillery corporal sergeant and began serving in the artillery force.
He graduated from the 27th batch of the Japanese Army University in 1915 and was promoted to artillery lieutenant. After graduation, he studied abroad as a military graduate student.
In this time and space of 1918, Major Okabe, who graduated from the 27th batch of the University of China, was just a young general of the 23rd Infantry Brigade. At 31 years old, he looked really full of life. He had just been promoted to artillery major at the end of 1917. He served as the captain of the 7th Artillery Battalion of the 7th Regiment of Taisuke Mizuno, commanding 2 artillery squadrons and 8 75mm Type 38 field guns to provide fire support to the regiment.
As a native of Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan, Okabe is the youngest major of the 23rd Mutoh Infantry Brigade. He will not turn 31 in another two months. As the third son of Army Civilian Eijiro Okabe. Okabe attended Hiroshima Sotoku Junior High School. In September 1900, he was admitted to the Hiroshima Army Local Infant School, and in September 1903, he entered the Army Central Infant School. On November 25, 1905, he graduated from the 18th Artillery Section of the Army Sergeant School, ranked fifth among 920 people, and was awarded the rank of second lieutenant in artillery on June 26 of the following year.
Okabe Naosaburo successively served as the 14th Field Artillery Regiment Attachment and the Field Artillery 10th Regiment Attachment. On November 25, 1910, he graduated from the 16th session of the Higher Education Department of the Army Artillery School and served as an instructor at the Army Field Artillery School. Graduated from Army University on December 11, 1915, ranked 9th among 56 students in the 27th class. Compared with the other infantry battalion captains Furuzhuang, Okamoto, Kenchuan, Xiangzui and Domon who graduated from the 21st batch of mainland universities, the 31-year-old Okabe is a junior in any case.
After graduating from Riku University Okabe, he successively served as an attached service member of the General Staff Headquarters and a member of the General Staff Headquarters. He studied in the Russian Language Department at Tokyo Foreign Languages ??School, went to Tsarist Russia to study in Khabarovsk, was attached to the General Staff Headquarters, and was attached to the Khabarovsk Secret Service of the Urushio Expeditionary Force Headquarters.
When Okabe commanded his 7th Artillery Battalion to open fire ahead of the enemy, he played a huge role in the two brigades of Kozui and Domon successfully breaking through the Ukrainian front-line positions. This guy was just a graduate of the mainland university. The artillery captain was promoted to artillery major in less than three years because the number and competition among Japanese artillery commanders was much smaller than that of infantry commanders. Okabe's artillery brigade was able to adjust gun positions in terms of artillery speed and shooting accuracy. The efficiency is quite excellent
It is precisely because of the superior performance of the Okabe 7th Artillery Battalion and the huge threat to the shelling of Ukrainian positions that its artillery position became the first choice for the 105mm light howitzer battalion of the 4th Ukrainian Infantry Division Artillery Regiment to counterattack. The first Japanese artillery position to actively fire, the position of the 7th Artillery Battalion Okabe was also the first target for the Ukrainian artillery observation post to determine the location and distance
Having said that, no matter how good and capable Artillery Major Okabe Naosaburo is, the eight 75mm Type 38 field guns in his hand will not be able to fight against the artillery of the 4th Ukrainian Infantry Division nearly 8 kilometers away after losing the opportunity. The giant and the killer 12 cannons of the 105mm light field howitzer battalion
