Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, Your Excellency the General, the 2nd Volunteer Division reported that the 4th Brigade launched a counterattack against the bridgehead in Dongcheng and was repelled by the Japanese The enemy on this side of the river received fire support from 2 Chinese armored companies on the other side.  The counterattack force of the 4th Brigade suffered more than one battalion casualties, and the two half-collapsed Hexi bridgeheads were still in the hands of the Japanese infantry squadron. Kalitintsev, the commander of the 2nd Volunteer Division, said that his counterattack had now withdrawn to the starting position, and he requested that the city  The long-range artillery suppressed and eliminated the firepower points of the Chinese armored forces on the other side of the river, otherwise his men would not be able to break through the blockade of more than ten M2 large-caliber heavy machine guns on the other side's wheeled armored tanks!"

    A Ukrainian staff officer covered the microphone behind him and reported loudly, with a trace of panic in his voice Obviously, the failure of the Dongcheng counterattack, which had high hopes, poured cold water on the Ukrainian staff officers in the headquarters, not to mention the large-scale Japanese artillery in the north.  The earth shaking and mountain shaking caused by the shelling was quite majestic The roof of the two-story stone building on the fortress wall took no less than four or five rounds of artillery shells. Although the 75mm field gun shells were not powerful enough to deal with this,  It is a stone building, but the continuous explosions and vibrations, and the dust falling from the roof make people uneasy.  §êw§ë//High-speed update//

    "The counterattack failed? The Japanese Mutoh brigade in Dongcheng fired all the artillery shells in reserve. What's more, the artillery troops were far away in the forest to the east facing our three main divisions. How come the 4th brigade failed to counterattack against less than a group of Japanese infantry?  What are they using their machine guns and mortars for?" Simon Petlyura angrily grabbed the microphone from the Ukrainian staff and shouted into it,

    "I'm Petliura, tell your division commander to answer the phone! Vladislav Vermilovich! You bastard! This is nonsense How are the firepower and troops of the 4th Brigade prepared? It's just a joke  The positions of the two Japanese infantry squadrons couldn't be regained? Didn't you say that the mortars of the 3rd Brigade were transferred to the east gate! How did this battle happen? "

    The Ukrainian Prime Minister obviously did not expect that even the bridgehead could not be captured He did not think of letting the 4th Volunteer Brigade in Dongcheng fight across the river to disperse the Japanese infantry brigade, but the bridgehead hung alone in the west of the river and could only be blocked with machine guns.  The bridgehead, and then the two wings charged together. The more than 200 Japanese infantry squadrons guarding the bridgehead were trying to catch a turtle in a jar but it still failed?  !

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief We need artillery support The other party's armored vehicles are hiding at the edge of the forest and using the cover of the forest to block our counterattack route. My people can't rush up from the two wings, and the mortars deployed at the base of the city wall can't even do that.  We can't reach the opponent's armored vehicles. If we pull up the city wall, our mortars will become a meal for the opponent's m81 mortars I need long-range artillery support, otherwise I can't continue to fight back Just now  The number of kung fu casualties increased by more than 300"

    The screams of Kalitintsev, commander of the 2nd Volunteer Division, came from the receiver. The counterattack of the 4th Volunteer Brigade did catch the Japanese by surprise at the beginning. At least the enemy deployed 6 gates in the trenches on both sides of the early bridgehead.  The m60 mortar was killed by 20 German-made 76cm light infantry mortars hidden behind the fortress wall Kalitintsev preemptively attacked 6 m60 mortars from the ancient country with 20 76cm mortars.  The troops can be killed in a head-on collision

    The expected coalition mortar counterattack did not occur. It was indeed because of the range. The firepower of the coalition's four M81 battalion mortar groups deployed in the forest could not cover the back of the city wall unless the position was moved forward.  At the east end of the bridge, this was obviously unrealistic. Therefore, the Japanese army suffered a loss and failed to use mortars to counterattack the Ukrainian mortar group in the blind spot. 20 three carriages pulled the Ukrainian mortars in  Movement and maneuvering behind city walls became a one-man show of wishful thinking

    Of course, the dilemma of the coalition forces being beaten and unable to fight back inspired the 4th Brigade of the 2nd Division of Volunteers who guarded the East City. However, the coalition m81 mortars could not reach the Ukrainian mortar position behind the base of the fortress wall.  It does not mean that the Ukrainian infantry counterattacking from the north and south along the river bank position is out of reach. Although Mizuno Taisuke's four M81 mortar groups have very few shells left at this time and cannot continue to fire, three consecutive waves of mortar shells rained down.  Or it blew up the two Ukrainian battalions that were thrown into the counterattack, causing the people to roll over on their backs and scream

    Just after the Ukrainians gritted their teeth and withstood the counterattack of the opponent's M81 mortar, they finally discovered that the opponent's mortar had misfired again because the shells had been exhausted. The ground troops of the 4th Ukrainian Brigade, who took this opportunity to launch a fierce attack,  The stormy M2 large-caliber heavy machine gun firepower of more than a dozen Chinese wheeled armored vehicles that had been waiting for a long time in the woods on the edge of the forest on the other side of the river swept down a large area The counterattack was completely misfired, and the remaining Ukrainian troops continued to roll away.  The climbers withdrew, but the number of casualties exceeded 300!

    "Your Excellency Petliura, without the support of long-range artillery, I can't recapture the bridgehead under the fire blockade of the enemy's superior armored vehicles and heavy machine guns. It's up to you to decide what to do! Who will defend the people who asked me to die like this?  youCove?  I won't accompany you!  "Kalitintsev on the other side dropped the phone angrily

    "Asshole! I'm dismissing you from your post!" Simon Petliura yelled into the dead phone and then threw the phone down At this time, it's just a matter of talking happily. I really want to cancel the card.  Litintsev's position as division commander has shaken the morale of the army. What's more, Petliura also knows in his heart that without the support of long-range artillery fire, he cannot suppress the heavy machine gun fire blockade of the opponent's armored forces. This counterattack is to ask himself to command the result.  Just better than Kalitintsev

    Surrounded by the rumbling sound of artillery and the successive explosions of artillery shells, the surrounding Ukrainian staff officers were shivering and did not dare to speak out. The situation was obviously chaotic at this time, and many people were always looking at our artillery as a saw.  The gourd didn't say a word and felt puzzled Of course, if you think about it carefully, you can understand The artillery fire coverage range deployed in Nancheng District is at most 115 kilometers in front of the northern ring defense line of the city.  In the area, look at the situation. The artillery regiment position where the Japanese are currently wreaking havoc is at least 5 kilometers away from our first position. Our artillery has no way to counterattack
