    It turns out that Naosaburo Okabe graduated from the Artillery Department of the 27th class of the Japanese Army University, while Toshishiro Obata graduated from the Infantry Department of the 23rd class of the Mainland University.  He studied artillery technology for one year at the Japanese Army Heavy Artillery Shooting School, but he found it too annoying to command artillery units, so he studied infantry after attending mainland university.  www.dyzww.com[一_中文_网]//Welcome to reading//

    Naosaburo Okabe was actually teasing Obata Toshishiro because he was afraid of studying artillery. He switched to the infantry department and worked in the saber group at the University of China. After graduating with honors, he found that the competition for spots in the promotion of infantry officers was too fierce, and the positions in the field troops were too fierce.  There were too few vacancies, so Obata Toshishiro took another unexpected turn to save the country. With his qualifications from the Army Heavy Artillery Shooting School, he moved himself to the position of artillery major captain of the 19th Infantry Regiment of the Mutoh Brigade.

    In fact, although Toshishiro Obata majored in infantry at the University of Japan, he was also an excellent student when he studied at the Army Heavy Artillery Shooting School. The 19th Artillery Battalion under his command went through the same bloody battles as the Okabe Artillery Battalion, and also only fought.  There were only 2 guns left, and what he said was correct. After the Ukrainian 105mm howitzer battalion ran out of shells and misfired, it was indeed the 8 guns of the 2 105mm howitzer battalions that concentrated their firepower on his position  …

    Although the artillerymen of the 4th Ukrainian Infantry Division Artillery Regiment commanded by Yarmolenko have good artillery skills, their calculation of ballistic trajectories and the location of local artillery positions is slower than that of the coalition forces. Therefore, the Japanese artillerymen Okabe and Obata  Because the brigade fired first, the Ukrainian artillery observation posts were the first to determine and calculate the positions of the artillery positions of these two artillery brigade

    Therefore, after the Okabe Battalion withdrew from the battle, the Obata Battalion, which had not yet exhausted its ammunition, became the first choice target of the Ukrainian artillery The Ukrainians were very strange They did not decide their own attack order based on the threat level of the coalition artillery, but  They are sorted by the targets that are easiest to attack Perhaps this is also the Ukrainian artillery's way of protecting themselves. You have to pick the weak ones, right?

    The reason why the Obata Artillery Battalion has so many more artillery shells than the Okabe Artillery Battalion is not because the gunners of the Obata Battalion shoot slower than the gunners trained by Okabe, a guy who graduated from the Mainland Artillery Department but because Obata is  They have been attacking the Ukrainian 75mm field artillery and 105mm howitzer positions with changing targets swinging in the middle

    Artillery can also confuse opponents by using stop-and-go guerrilla tactics without changing positions!

    July 31, 1918, 12:30, Japanese Infantry 23rd Brigade Headquarters, Eastern Forest Battlefield, Kharkiv

    "Baga Shut up, everyone The enemy is facing the enemy. The two artillery brigades, Okabe Battalion and Obata Battalion, are fighting tenaciously Is this the time for internal strife? Okabe Major, please be kind to your seniors.  Enough respect, Obata is your senior whether in the mainland or in the Army Field Artillery Shooting School. How can you be called a qualified Imperial Army soldier if you don't have this consciousness?"

    Brigade commander Nobuyoshi Muto suppressed the dispute between Naosaburo Okabe and Toshishiro Obata with a scolding. Muto was actually distressed by the casualties of the artillery brigades to which the two regiments belonged. He grinned and sucked in the air-conditioning, but  Compared to yesterday when all the artillery brigades belonging to the two regiments of the Kikuchi Brigade were completely destroyed, and Major Isokawa, the artillery battalion captain of the 6th Infantry Regiment, was even killed by the enemy's artillery fire, today the two artillery brigades of the Muto Brigade were each left with only one enemy.  The results of two guns are already quite good

    How can you coax people to laugh in front of China Li and China Wu at this time?  Of course, the duli artillery battalion of the Chinese Armored Regiment played the mainstay role in the fierce artillery battle just now. Otherwise, the two 8-gun artillery battalions of the Mutoh Brigade alone would not be able to defeat the Ukrainians no matter what.  36 75mm Krupp field guns plus 12 incredibly powerful 105mm light field howitzers.

    "Major Wu, how are the losses of your artillery battalion? Did you run out of ammunition?" After training the two artillery battalion captains Okabe and Obata, Muto Nobuyoshi turned to ask the Chinese artillery battalion commander.

    "Mr. Muto, unfortunately, the losses of my artillery battalion are not light. The Ukrainian gunners newly assigned to the artillery battalion are still relatively new after all. To be honest, our two 105mm light howitzer batteries are not as good as the Ukrainian 105mm light howitzer battalion.  , Fortunately, the two artillery brigades, Obata and Okabe, attracted the firepower of the opponent's 105mm cannon, which allowed us to beat the opponent black and blue and gain the upper hand" Wu Keren was telling the truth. His Ukrainian troops were just organized yesterday.  The gunners selected from the prisoners not only had lower morale than their counterparts in the forest, but their skills were also inferior.

    In the fierce artillery battle just now, the 1st Company of Duli Artillery Battalion commanded by Chinese Major Wu Keren lost two 75mm Type 38 field guns, and the 2nd Company lost three 75mm Krupp field guns.?The 3rd and 4th companies each lost 2 guns using captured 105mm German light howitzers. Although the Duli artillery battalion did not lose combat effectiveness, its casualties were not much lighter than those of the two Japanese artillery brigades

    "Chief of Staff, how long will it take for the next batch of ammunition for the logistics force to be transported? Can it be faster? I think the losses of Major Wu's artillery battalion are still within the tolerable range. If the ammunition is replenished in time, the battle ahead will be very difficult.  "We can continue to provide fire support to the ground troops, isn't that right, Wu Sang?" Muto pinned his hopes on Wu Keren's artillery to regain its combat effectiveness in time. As for Okabe and Obata, they only have 4 guns left in total.  The artillery brigade is obviously not suitable to be put into the battlefield again before it is rested and replenished, otherwise the 23rd Infantry Brigade's artillery fire will be lost.

    "It will take at least another hour" Chief of Staff Takagi took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead The bottleneck of logistical ammunition support lies in the pontoon bridge across the Kharkov River. Due to the limited load capacity, the coalition forces  The Dodge one-and-a-half-ton truck had to be empty before it could cross the river along the pontoon bridge at the slowest speed. The ammunition unloaded at Hexi Railway Station could only be transported to the west bank of the Kharkov River first, and then pushed and pulled along the pontoon bridge.  After crossing the river, twelve Dodge 1.5-ton military trucks of the Chinese 3rd Armored Battalion and nearly 100 horse-drawn carts from the baggage brigade of the 23rd Infantry Brigade returned from the logistics base of the Muto Brigade and were transported to the front line.
