    Muto frowned when he heard this, and leaned over to look at the battle map spread out on the table carefully. He was thinking that if he showed weakness and retreated now, he would make his joke known to the former enemy headquarters and the Kikuchi brigade. Of course, if  As Arai said, if showing weakness and retreating can hold the three Ukrainian divisions together instead of scaring them away, once their own ammunition is supplied, the remaining artillery of the 23rd Infantry Brigade should be enough to give the opponent a drink.  .  wwwdyzww No. 1,

    At this point in the battle, the casualties of the three infantry brigades of the Muto brigade on the front line of the attack were only a hundred or so. The artillery unit suffered the greatest losses, but the Ukrainian artillery was also disabled. If the opponent's artillery could not  to ammunition support, and when their own artillery shells are replenished, the remaining three Ukrainian divisions will just be beaten and can't stop it!

    "Major Wu, Okabe Battalion and Obata Battalion each have 2 75mm field guns left, plus the 7 75mm field guns and 8 105mm light howitzers in your artillery battalion. As long as the ammunition is replenished, our artillery strength can still be used again.  Yes, how about it? If the baggage troops rush up the artillery shells in an hour, can your artillery battalion return to the battle?" Muto Nobuyoshi asked, staring into China Wu's eyes.

    "No problem, Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, my artillery battalion has the courage to fight to the last gun This is a forest area. It is very difficult for both sides to move their positions during the artillery battle. As the saying goes, the brave will win when we meet on a narrow road. I am confident that in the next battle  In this stage of the battle, the artillery battalion can exert greater power. Even if the Ukrainian artillery has been supplemented with ammunition, we can still defeat the opponent again!" The answer of the Chinese artillery battalion commander was obviously quite confident.

    "Okay! This is easy to handle! Chief of Staff, pass on my order. Xiangzhui Brigade and Duomen Brigade alternately cover and prepare to withdraw to the original starting position. Jianchuan Brigade takes the radio and makes a large detour to the north. Without orders, it is not allowed to be easily exposed.  Target and opened fire at the 3rd Ukrainian Infantry Division. The Okamoto Brigade broke away from the battle and circled south. It was also not allowed to easily alert the 4th Ukrainian Infantry Division If it was in the middle, the Guzhuang Brigade was ordered to guard the middle and protect the brigade and regiment headquarters and logistics equipment.  Artillery position!"

    Muto was also a resolute commander who was determined to make his orders unambiguous. Chief of Staff Takagi agreed with a wordless "Hai", and then Muto turned around and smiled at Li Shang, the commander of the Chinese Armored 3rd Battalion, "Li Shang"  Sang, just follow your feint attack method. You lead two armored companies along the road to the east and attack again. Don't hit too hard. If you really scare the Ukrainians away, you won't be able to sing I'll see if  This can be done like this. The 2nd and 4th Armored Companies feigned an attack to the east and then withdrew. The 4th Armored Company strengthened to the west of Kharkov City. We assumed that we could not move to the east, so we had to turn around and move to the west.  Prepare to attack the city!"

    "Yes! Your Excellency, brigade commander, please rest assured. My armored company has to inflict pain on the enemy and also scare the opponent away. I don't think it is necessary to dispatch two companies. The second armored company can take on the task of feint attack.  The 4th Armored Company can now return to Kharkov City to support Colonel Mizuno Taisuke’s troops!”

    The tone of Li Shang, commander of the Chinese 3rd Armored Battalion, was full of confidence. Of course, without the support of heavy artillery, the M2 large-caliber machine gun on the armored vehicle could not break the east city of Kharkov, but he put on a menacing posture to suppress the opponent.  The machine gun firepower is still fully capable for armored troops.

    "Yoshi, I'll wait and see. Chief of Staff, send a report to Mr. Mizuno. The brigade headquarters will reinforce the 4th Armored Company to him and ask him to find a way to make the battle in the east city of Kharkov more lively and put enough pressure on the Ukrainians.  , this double act is interesting. In addition, send a report to Lieutenant General Oba, suggesting that the main force on the northern front launch a powerful attack. If the two field artillery regiments of Hashimoto and Tanaka still dare not go into battle in the north, they can directly cross the river to strengthen.  My 23rd Infantry Brigade is coming!"

    Muto Nobuyoshi's confidence was once again overflowing at this moment. Of course, this guy still didn't call out for help and needed tactical guidance from the Allied Air Force. Yesterday, the Kisaki Brigade's Shogo Kaizaki Wing was in the second wave of powerful Allied Forces.  In the face of the air attack, he defeated two of the opponent's divisions. At this moment, as a last resort, Muto Nobuyoshi did not want his brigade to be unable to win the battle without air support.

    The Imperial Japanese Army Air Force only has more than 100 old models of French, British and Italian aircraft. It is not at the same level as the powerful Chinese participating army air force. This means that the Japanese Army needs to obtain air support from its own air force.  There is still a long way to go to fight a battle with beautiful air-ground coordination. Muto believes that the Imperial Army cannot rely entirely on the air support of the Chinese Air Force It cannot be like this in any case

    While the Muto brigade was busy mobilizing troops, other directions on the Kharkov battlefield were not idle either

    July 31, 1918, 12:35, the former enemy headquarters of the Allied Allied Forces' Middle Route Army in the north of Kharkiv

    "Your Excellency, Division Commander, Major General Muto is calling, his 23rd Infantry Brigade fought fiercely with the three main divisions of the 1st Group Army of the Ukrainian National Army in the Kharkiv Forest, causing heavy damage to the enemy and causing the opponent's artillery to lose its combat effectiveness. Now the front-line artillery ammunition uses chimes, Major General Muto  The division's engineering regiment is required to erect a second pontoon bridge on the Kharkov River, and the division's baggage regiment is required to give priority to ensuring the ammunition supply of the 23rd Infantry Brigade The 23rd Infantry Brigade is now showing weakness to the enemy.  Wait until the ammunition is replenished before delivering a fatal blow to the Ukrainians!  "
