    Von Neuhaus sighed after hearing this, shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, do you think I don't want to transfer my infantry division and artillery regiment back as soon as possible? But our air force will not be able to return to East Asia until tomorrow at the earliest.  In the skies over Ukraine, so far, the air force of the Allied Eastern Front is swinging its wings unscrupulously above our heads. We must not expose our main force and artillery movements to the eyes of the coalition reconnaissance aircraft in broad daylight, especially when the other side is flying today.  The second wave of air strikes has not yet been launched!¡±

    "But if the bombers of the Allied Air Force do not return to the battlefield, will we keep waiting? Shouldn't we take advantage of the God-given opportunity that the main force of the opponent's air force has not yet returned to the battlefield, and take advantage of this gap to bring back the counterattack force as soon as possible?  ? If the opponent's air force comes back, we will run a huge risk of being attacked by the opponent's air raids even if we want to mobilize!" The Ukrainian Prime Minister couldn't help shouting.  §êw§ë

    "No Your Excellency Petliura, more than three hours have passed since the first wave of air strikes by the coalition air force in the morning. I believe that the opponent's second wave of air strikes will appear soon. At this time, we must remain calm, haha  The strength of Erkov's city defense can be expected, and the combat effectiveness of the Volunteer Division has gradually increased. I don't think the enemy can capture the city with just bombs and artillery. Only after the opponent's second wave of air strikes is over will we have a chance.  It is relatively safe to mobilize the troops Of course, it will be safer to wait until nightfall By then maybe we can find a way to teach the Muto troops who have come around from Dongcheng a lesson! "

    The German major general frowned patiently as he explained to the Ukrainian Prime Minister in front of him. In fact, for the German-Ukrainian coalition defenders whose firepower was weak, delaying time was the highest principle. As long as the other party did not launch a decisive attack, then Von Noy  House would never play out the limited cards in his hand easily!

    "Reporting telegram to the Commander-in-Chief, Major General, Major General Koval on the Kharkov Forest Front, the 3rd Infantry Division and the 2nd Infantry Division united and repelled the fierce attack of the Chinese armored forces. Now Muto Nobuyoshi's troops have retreated westward and returned.  At the starting position of the previous attack, a Japanese infantry group facing the 4th Infantry Division was repulsed and retreated The 3rd Infantry Division and the 2nd Infantry Division have all restored their previous positions Major General Koval judged that the opposite side  The Muto brigade suffered heavy casualties and lost the ability to further attack He requested the artillery in Kharkov to block the opponent's retreat and logistics transportation routes so that the three divisions in the forest could concentrate their forces and defeat the opponent! "

    The Ukrainian combat staff officer who was reading the telegram was beaming with joy. Apparently, the news that the Japanese Mutoh Brigade was repulsed in the forest was the second good news received by the German-Ukrainian Allied Forces Command today. Previously, Koval commanded three divisions to block the Mutoh Brigade.  The regiment's attack was the first good news. Of course, the loss of the Kharkov Bridge and bridgehead positions by the 4th Brigade of the 2nd Volunteer Division was out-and-out bad news. Fortunately, relying on the solidity of the fortress walls  The opponent lacked heavy artillery, and Dongcheng's defense did not collapse after the fall of the Kharkov Bridge.

    "Haha I didn't expect I really didn't expect that, General, the Japanese are also a strong-willed person The Muto brigade's aggressive momentum created huge pressure on our three main divisions in the forest.  Unexpectedly, they lacked stamina. Even the Chinese armored forces used their trump card and were still repulsed by us Should we let Koval and the others drive the Japanese out of the forest in one go, while we send troops to counterattack Kharkov?  Will the bridge be taken back too?¡±

    Simon Petliura was also overjoyed, although he was also muttering to himself about why Koval's moods in the two telegrams were so different. The previous telegram even cried out for reinforcements and called for troops to attack Kharkov.  They wanted to cut off the opponent's pontoon bridge and logistics transportation, but in a short time they actually repelled the Japanese with their own existing strength The Ukrainian Prime Minister couldn't believe his ears and snatched the telegram manuscript from the staff.  After reading it carefully, it turned out that it was indeed the case, and the Muto Brigade was really repelled!

    "Don't be careless Muto Nobuyoshi is the chief of Japan's 13th Continental Continent. I met him in Moscow when he was the military attache stationed in Russia. Although he only has one infantry 23rd brigade and the strength is not sufficient.  But in the previous artillery battle between the two sides, they were only evenly matched. His ground troops did not suffer heavy losses. Now that they are suddenly retreating to the west, there may be a conspiracy

    Lord Petliura, I suggest that the three divisions temporarily commanded by Major General Koval should not be careless and avoid underestimating the enemy's advance. They can tentatively launch small-scale attacks on the enemy's two flanks, maintain contact with the enemy, and at the same time strengthen reconnaissance.  Find out the enemy's intentions The time is not ripe to launch a large-scale counterattack from both sides. Beware of the threat of the coalition air force appearing over the forest soon!  "

    The warning of the German Major General made Simon Petliura horrified. The thought of the dark bomber group of the Allied Air Force appearedThe sight of the sky blocking out the sun is frightening. Neuhaus is right. The retreat of the Muto brigade may not have been really repelled by Koval, the main force of the Ukrainian national army with guerrilla origins.  Maybe they were luring the snake out of its hole and waiting to use the air force to attack him. Thinking of this, Petliura turned his head and shouted at the Ukrainian staff officer who was in a daze,

    "Did you hear it? General von Neuhaus's order is my order. Send a message to the 3rd, 4th and 2nd Infantry Divisions, asking them not to act rashly and to strengthen reconnaissance, especially reconnaissance on both wings to figure out the Muto Brigade.  The true intention is to maintain contact and continue to attack with small groups The main division of the national army must advance every battle. In this way, it will become a first-class strong army. By the way, pass on my order and attack the infantry.  The 3rd, 4th and 2nd divisions were all commended, and the three division commanders were each awarded a third-class merit medal. Major General Koval, commander of the 3rd division, was promoted to Army Lieutenant General and Deputy Commander of the 3rd Army!"

    Simon Petliura was not a stingy boss. He was promoted and awarded medals as soon as he opened his mouth. The German Major General frowned when he heard this, stopped the staff officer who was about to leave, and reminded Petliura in a low voice.  , "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, one of the keys to repelling the Muto Brigade is that your 4th Infantry Division Artillery Regiment has played the mainstay role. At this time, you only promote the 3rd Infantry Division but do not reward the 4th Infantry Division and artillery."  As for the army, I'm afraid that your decision will affect internal unity. That Yarmolenko is an intellectual with a background as a middle school history teacher. If he can't change his mind for a while, the battle in the forest will be difficult to fight"
