    The total mileage from the North Railway Station in the north of Kharkiv to the Kharkiv River Floating Bridge to the Forest Avenue to the front-line logistics base of the 23rd Infantry Brigade is less than 30 kilometers. However, the road was severely damaged by the retreat of the 3rd Ukrainian Infantry Division.  , after being barely repaired, it took 50 minutes for a Dodge one-and-a-half-ton truck to cover the 25-kilometer round trip. The large vehicle used by the baggage brigade of the 23rd Japanese Infantry Brigade was a three-horse carriage.  §êw§ë//fastest update//

    The so-called three-horse carriage is a three-horse carriage that is hitched to one car or sled at the same time, so it is called a three-horse carriage. These three-horse carriages first appeared in Russia. The three-horse carriages are collectively called large carriages.  "Jilin New Chronicles" records that this kind of car travels between Tieling, Kaiyuan and the Fatha side gate area of ??the Songhua River, so it is also called "sidecar".

    Large carriages can be divided into three types according to different loads and roads: heavy-duty harnesses with 8 to 12 horses, which can be divided into three-section harnesses, one shaft horse, and two "shafts" with 5 horses each, and the remaining ones are tied to gang harnesses, which can be  The load capacity is about 4,000 kilograms.  For a lighter load, 5 to 8 animals need to be harnessed. It is also a three-section harness, with 3 horses in the front, 3 horses in the middle, and a draft horse. Adding a coat is called "waibai" or "waibiao", and the load can be about 3,000 kilograms.  .  The above are all called three-horse carriages. If there are only three horses per carriage, the load capacity is about 0.8 to 1 ton.

    The formation of the three-horse carriage is quite special. It is shaped like a fan, with the main horse driving the shaft in the middle and the other two horses on both sides, one on each side.  The horse in the middle trots, and the horses on both sides gallop.  In addition to the special tricks of the three-horse carriage, another feature is its high speed.

    The three-horse carriage was the main means of transportation in Russia in the past, not only in cities, but also on the roads connecting various places. This fast-running three-horse carriage came and went, transporting goods and people. It was once popular for a long time.  long time.  On the long-distance road from Moscow to remote cities in Siberia alone, there used to be 300 post stations in the past, and 160,000 coachmen drove three carriages to the east and west, rushing back and forth.  Since the construction of the railroads, freight trains have been replaced by railroad wagons, and horse-drawn carriages have given way to passenger trains.

    However, during the festival, taking an ancient Russian three-horse carriage for sightseeing and driving is still a traditional program to experience the Russian style. Since the construction of the railway, the freight fleet has been replaced by railway wagons, and the three-horse carriage has also given way.  on passenger trains.  However, on some festivals, taking an ancient Russian three-horse carriage for a ride is still a traditional program that attracts tourists.  When tall horses draped in colorful ribbons pull gorgeously decorated carts and race on the streets with bells ringing, people will feel a special sense of fun.  This has become a way of entertainment and recreation for people.

    The Muto brigade's baggage brigade has two baggage squadrons. Each baggage squadron has 562 personnel and 376 horses. The three carriages add up to nearly 200 vehicles, nearly half of which are used to load and transport tents, food and other military supplies.  The other half is used to transport weapons and ammunition.

    "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, if the ammunition can be transported up in time, I believe that our artillery will have a one-sided advantage in the next battle. The Ukrainian artillery suffered similar losses to ours in the battle just now. It must be because they have stopped and withdrawn from the battlefield now.  The ammunition is exhausted. The problem is that we have cut off the communication between the opponent and the city of Kharkiv. It is impossible for the Ukrainians to obtain ammunition replenishment. Even without the support of the aviation team, we can still defeat the opponent! "

    Chinese Major Wu Keren has obviously not had enough of his artillery, but the ammunition consumption in more than half an hour just now was too great. Unexpectedly, the Ukrainian artillery refused to retreat. As the saying goes, the brave will win when the two armies meet.  The artillerymen on the side can only grit their teeth and fight to the end. If they can have half a base more ammunition, the Ukrainian artillery that has misfired will be completely annihilated on the position. At this moment, it is estimated that both sides have a tacit understanding of each other.  The first action of the remaining artillerymen after they run out of ammunition is to move their positions

    "Yo Xi! I'll wait and see, Chief of Staff, please push harder on the logistics side. Our artillery will roar again in an hour!" Muto narrowed his eyes and punched the Chinese artillery major in front of him, then turned his head.  He told his chief of staff, Takagi.

    "The 23rd Squadron of the Heavy Troops has unloaded all other supplies and is preparing to send all three sets of carriages back to the north to transport ammunition. Your Excellency, the brigade commander, I suggest that in the name of the brigade headquarters, I propose to the former enemy headquarters in the north.  Request, ask the division's baggage regiment to fully guarantee our ammunition transportation. The engineer regiment is bestit is best to find a way to set up a second pontoon bridge to divert the supply, otherwise the supply of ammunition will not keep up with consumption.  , because we don¡¯t have enough time to wait for the ammunition to be hoarded!¡±

    Takagi, the chief of staff of the brigade, obviously assumed the task of commanding logistics support. During the most intense artillery battle just now, the logistics and ammunition transportation of Muto brigade did not stop for a minute. However, the forest road is so wide, and in many places, two vehicles can barely stand side by side.  It's just a big truck. The ability to store three bases of ammunition before has put considerable pressure on the baggage troops. Now, it is said that one and a half bases can be stocked in an hour.It is still unclear whether this goal can actually be achieved. The three brigades on the front line all require additional ammunition and personnel. The consumption of mortar shells and machine gun bullets by the infantry brigade is also quite huge

    "HmmMajor Li, can your armored troops attack again along the road and tear apart the positions of the opponent's three divisions? Without the support of artillery and aviationI can send the engineer brigade to you.  Troops to help you clear obstacles and clear mines I believe that the Ukrainians are also hurrying up to adjust and recover. If we hurry up and don't give the other side a chance to breathe, there may be unexpected surprises! "Muto Nobuyoshi is commanding!  The team took a few steps back and forth, and finally cast their hopeful eyes on Li Shang, the commander of the Chinese Armored 3rd Battalion.

    "Your Excellency Muto, based on the progress of the first phase of the battle, it can be determined that the fighting will and combat effectiveness of the three main divisions facing the Ukrainians are much stronger than yesterday. I estimate that the first is that the opponent's artillery suppressed our artillery fire, and the second is that the coalition forces  The aviation force has not yet been involved in combat over the forest. That is to say, except for the remnants of the 2nd Ukrainian Infantry Division in the center, the 3rd Ukrainian Infantry Division on the left and the 4th Ukrainian Infantry Division on the right have not yet experienced the tremendous power of our air-ground coordination I  There will be no problem for the armored troops to advance along the road"

    Then Li Shang changed the topic and said rudely, "But because the road is lined with dense forests, thorns, wetlands, and swamps, my armored vehicle cannot leave the road to capture the prisoners. Even if it rushes all the way to tear the enemy in half,  , what are your plans next? The 23rd Infantry Brigade has less than 5 troops left. Can it still surround and annihilate the opponent's main force of nearly 30,000 Ukrainians at the same time? According to my judgment, it can surround a division and annihilate it?  Just eating your opponent is quite impressive!"
