    "Reporting to the commander of the regiment, the telegram from the former enemy headquarters was transferred from the brigade headquarters. The Tanaka Artillery Regiment is conducting bombardment and fire preparations on the enemy's defense line north of Kharkov. The 13th Federal Infantry Division will launch an attack in 20 minutes.  For the second attack on the North City defense line, the brigade commander asked our regiment to set up a simultaneous attack posture in the East City to attract and distract the attention of the Ukrainians and Germans! "

    A lieutenant staff officer of the 7th Japanese Infantry Regiment rushed over to report the telegram he had just received with an excited and nervous look on his face. Mizuno and Maeda looked up and saw that it was the Infantry Co., Ltd. who was holding the telegram and looking excited.  Lieutenant Haremiya Jun, the staff adjutant of the 7th Regiment.  

    Atsushi Haremiya (general of the Imperial Army, graduated from the Army Academy and the Army University. Atsushi Haremiya is a native of Kyoto Prefecture, the fourth son of the peasant Haremori, and graduated from the 17th Infantry Course of the Army Academy on March 30, 1905.  (The 39th among 363 people. On April 21 of the same year, he was awarded the rank of infantry second lieutenant. During the Russo-Japanese War, he served as the 38th Infantry Regiment, the 53rd Infantry Regiment, and Lu Shishengtu.

    On November 27, 1917, Harem Chun graduated from the 29th batch of the Army University (30th among 57 people) and entered the 7th Regiment of the 23rd Infantry Brigade of the 3rd Division as a staff adjutant.

    As a descendant of farmers, although he was from Kyoto, the harem lieutenant's education path was not smooth. On March 30, 1905, he graduated from the 17th Infantry Course of the Army Sergeant School, ranking 39th out of 363 people.  After graduation, I had to hang out for a long time for 9 years before entering the Army University in Taisho 3. Therefore, when I graduated from the 29th class of the Army University in Taisho 6, I was already 32 years old, and now I am hanging out with the 3rd Division.  He was just an army lieutenant when he was young

    If this guy has good academic performance at mainland university, for example, if he is a member of the saber group and graduates with honors, then it is possible that he will be awarded an army captain before graduation. The 7th Regiment Attached Toshiro Maeda who is the same age as him is because he belongs to the nobility.  The head of the Maeda family was awarded the rank of captain before graduation, and now Maeda is already a major in the army, while Harem Jun, who is the same age but comes from a peasant family, has not even been promoted to captain.

    Of course, among his classmates in the 17th batch of Riku University, Hideki Tojo, who later became famous, only graduated from the 27th batch of Riku University 2 years earlier than him. Tojo graduated from the 27th batch of Riku University 10 years after graduation.  It took Harem Chun a full 12 years to graduate from the Mainland University. When he graduated, he was almost the oldest lieutenant in the 29th batch of the Mainland University

    "Calm down! Lieutenant Harem, the Wing Headquarters has submitted an application for promoting you to Army Captain, but look at what's going on in the logistics department. So far, machine guns and mortars have not been shipped! Hurry and give  I urge you to go! If you delay the attack, let alone the army captain, it is a question whether you can continue to work in my 7th Regiment!" Mizuno Taisuke, the captain of the 7th Regiment, scolded him with a serious expression.  Such a harem lieutenant.

    July 31, 1918 13:00 Kharkov North Battlefield

    The sudden opening fire of the 3rd Field Artillery Regiment of Japan's 3rd Division was completely beyond the expectations of the defenders of the northern defense line of Kharkov The 2nd Brigade of the 1st Division of Ukrainian Volunteers guarding the ring defense line in the northern suburbs of Kharkov  At that time, I was seizing the time to have lunch. As a result, I was so panicked by the fierce and accurate shelling that I knocked over almost half of the soup barrels in the tunnel and shelter. Since the whole of Ukraine was experiencing a food shortage, these former Kharkiv citizens and workers  In addition to protecting the country and the sacred Ukrainian homeland, volunteers composed of idle personnel and miscellaneous personnel join the Ukrainian army. Being able to eat is also the biggest thought of every Ukrainian volunteer

    In fact, the fierce attack launched by the coalition forces on the defense line in the north of the city yesterday afternoon can be regarded as the initial formation of the volunteers. The coalition forces can be regarded as armed to the teeth. However, due to the superior strength of the defenders and the strength of the mg08 heavy machine gun and 7.6cm light infantry mortar,  The number and power are by no means inferior to the attacking Volga Federal Infantry Division. Of course, what really helped the Chuge volunteers of the Ukrainian second-line troops to hold their positions and stabilize the situation were the 12 150mm Krupps of the German medium-sized artillery battalion in the city.  Heavy field howitzer.

    The commander of the 13th Volga Federal Infantry Division of the allied forces on the opposite side was not a coward. He used two 75mm field artillery battalions to fight with three German 150mm heavy howitzer batteries. Due to the anti-aircraft machine gun firepower organized by the Kharkov defenders,  The Allied Air Force concentrated and dispersed the Color 5 biplane fighter squadron, which was close to running out of fuel. Therefore, yesterday afternoon the German heavy artillery made a huge profit without the threat of air strikes

    At the cost of two 75mm field artillery battalions with only three guns remaining, the attackers were able to contain the German heavy artillery in the city, and annihilated the artillery batteries of two volunteer divisions and one German heavy artillery battery.  The main force of the two infantry regiments evacuated the battlefield to buy time. The price paid by the offensive and defensive sides was very different from the perspective of infantry alone. The casualties were both around 1,200 people

    This casualty is incomparable with the thousands and tens of thousands of casualties and prisoners suffered by the Soviet Red Army during the Battle of Ufa due to the human wave tactics. However, we must also see at the same time the positions of the offensive and defensive sides in the Battle of Ukraine and the Battle of Ufa.  It¡¯s almost reversed. In the first stage of the Battle of Ufa, the attacking side had a large number of people.The firepower of the Soviet Red Army was not as good as that of the Ufa White Guards on the defensive side, and the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, the King of China, was very good at commanding defensive operations The first lines of defensive positions in the northwest and southeast directions of Ufa actually became targets for the attackers.  And it ended up being a meat grinder with a back and forth.

    Compared with the Battle of Ufa, on the Kharkov battlefield of the Ukrainian campaign, the combat effectiveness of the two infantry divisions of the Ukrainian Kharkov volunteers on the defensive side was not necessarily superior to that of the earlier Soviet Red Army.  Ukrainian volunteers are repatriated Tsarist Russian prisoners of war and former Tsarist Russian army soldiers who were demobilized after the establishment of the Soviet Red Army. The difference is that the weapons and equipment of the Ukrainian Volunteer Infantry Division are stronger than those of the original Soviet Red Army

    Simon Petliura's national army and volunteer troops assumed the role of the Ukrainian puppet army during the reconstruction process. In order to transfer the main force of the German army on the eastern front to the western front as much as possible to strengthen the main battlefield, the German troops stationed in Ukraine  The 10th Army has spared no effort in arming and training the Ukrainian National Army and volunteer units.
