    Although Lu Huanyan came from a peasant family and went to private school, he didn't like studying. He preferred to wield swords and guns. He traveled from his own county to other counties. He was a typical militant, so he was sent to the Guangxi Army Primary School by his family.  School, hoping to use military education to reassure him. After entering the school, he studied artillery. It can be said that he and Bai Chongxi, Xia Wei, Huang Shaohong and He Weizhen were classmates in the same period, but his promotion in the war army was relatively slow.  , which is closely related to his strong and bad temper that he would rather be straight than bend.  www.dyzw8.com

    At this time, most of the students in the third phase of Baoding Military Academy who have joined the war armies have become brigade commanders and division commanders. At the moment, Lu Huanyan is just a colonel commander of the division's armored regiment. The problem lies in  Due to his bad temper, the relationship with his superiors and colleagues has never been good, but this guy from the artillery department is really good at fighting. He is especially good at organizing and dispatching the firepower of machine guns and artillery, and he can fight tough battles.  .

    Lu Huanyan has such a temper. Even if Wang Geng sits on top and presides over the meeting, Colonel Lu may not be able to shout slogans along with him. Lu Huanyan's Japanese proficiency is said to be only so-so, but he is surrounded by the staff of the armored regiment. This is often the case.  The first time I attended a military meeting at the headquarters, I listened attentively. The guest translator next to China Lu was Captain Higashi Tanosuke, the communications staff officer of the Armored Regiment.

    Higashikata Tanosuke is a Chinese-Japanese hybrid. His father is an overseas Chinese living in Japan, and his mother is a virtuous Japanese maid. After graduating from the Japanese sergeant school, Higashi Tanosuke joined the 5th Infantry Brigade as an infantry junior staff officer, and then followed  The Japanese Third Division left the country together to join the Allied Forces on the Eastern Front.

    Later, after the Allied Southwest Front was established, some Japanese officers with China expertise were transferred from the Third Division and were seconded to Lu Huanyan's Chinese Armored Regiment as liaison staff. This Oriental Tanosuke was not very popular in the Japanese army because of his mixed-race relationship with Chinese and Japanese.  After being seconded, he took the initiative to apply for Chinese citizenship and became a communications staff officer of the Chinese Armored Regiment. His military rank was directly promoted from second lieutenant of the Japanese Army to captain of the Chinese Army. Today, this guy has returned home in glory!

    Because of his mixed race, Eastern Tanosuke was ridiculed and rejected by his Japanese classmates when he was in the Japanese Military Academy. Although his grades were quite good, there were always people saying that his father was an overseas Chinese, even if Tanosuke was a child.  Being born and raised in Japan cannot erase the bloodline of the descendant of the dragon engraved on his body. Of course, until April 1917, Tanosuke was more regarded as the descendant of the sick man of East Asia.

    Tanosuke became a Chinese citizen because he gritted his teeth and tried hard to learn something useful in an environment where he could gain the dignity and respect of a soldier. Fortunately, the commander of the Chinese Armored Regiment, Lu Huanyan, was born in the artillery department of the Baoding Military Academy, and he graduated from the Japanese Army.  Higashi Tanosuke, a mixed-race soldier from the Artillery Section of the Military Academy, not only did not discriminate, but also trusted him very much. He was kept by his side as a communications staff officer and adjutant. Higashi Tanosuke was responsible for dealing with the Japanese army's messengers until the end.

    It is not surprising that the group of Japanese generals under Lieutenant General Da Ting naturally spoke full Japanese in meetings. If the chief officer of the Central Route Army was a Chinese general such as Li Mingzhong, Zhang Weixi, or Xiong Shihui, they would definitely speak Chinese.  It must be admitted that the influence of Chinese culture on Japan is long-standing and huge. Guys who graduated from the Japanese Military Academy may not be able to speak fluent Chinese, but almost everyone among the Japanese generals who graduated from the Japanese Army College can speak Chinese  Accent is not a problem, at least Northeastern dialect, Tianjin dialect, Qingdao dialect, most of the Japanese generals who have been stationed in Kanto Prefecture can listen, read and write fluently

    So when Chinese Lu opened his mouth, he didn't need the translators from Japan's 3rd Division to translate it into Japanese. Jiro Oba, Hishikari Takashi, Shinnosuke Kikuchi, Koji Hashimoto and King Tanaka Hat all present understood what Lu Huanyan was saying.  Speaking Mandarin with a Guangxi accent, Liukin Alexeevich Voronezh, the commander of the 13th Federal Infantry Division next to him, did not understand it very well. His adjutant next to him muttered and translated it into Russian.

    China Lu¡¯s suggestion here is actually a good one. If the Muto brigade takes a defensive position in the eastern forest, even if the strength is 1:3, it is probably not a big problem. What¡¯s more, in Lu Huanyan¡¯s view, the coalition air force¡¯s ground support is short-term.  The number of repeated attacks is limited, and of course they must be used in the main direction. The roundabout operation of the Muto brigade across the river from the left is just to open up the defense line of the German-Ukrainian coalition. I really hope that Muto can conquer the intact defenders of the fortress wall from the east.  The difficulty of the defensive line will not be less than the attack launched by the main force of the northern line

    After hearing this, Erlang Dating was still considering whether Lu Huanyan's suggestion was feasible. The commander of the 13th Federal Infantry Division, Voronezh, had already shouted after listening to his adjutant's translation, "Your Excellency Dating my division has been in continuous operation from yesterday to today."  Three battles were fought It would be fine if the attack this afternoon was supported by continuous artillery fire. If it was used as cannon fodder?I can't agree to the bait If my infantry launches air force and Hashimoto's two Japanese artillery regiments again, they must give full support Otherwise, if you keep acting like a family like this, I can only give way to Xian and Kikuchi.  The major general's troops go up and play hide and seek with the Ukrainians!  "

    Speaking of which, most of the generals of Japan's 3rd Division had the experience of participating in the Russo-Japanese War 13 years ago. Although many of them's Russian proficiency is not as good as Chinese, Voronezh can still roughly understand the meaning of what he said, and he didn't wait.  Liu Jin's adjutant translated his teacher's words into Japanese, and Kikuchi Shinnosuke was the first to shout,

    "Baga, it's so rude, it's just nonsense What kind of peek-a-boo are you trying to show off? The 13th Federal Infantry Division is also a member of the Central Army, and is under the control and command of the former enemy headquarters of the Central Army. You, Liukin Ali,  Kseyevich Voronezh, your division dares to disobey you and try it!¡±

    Although Shinnosuke Kikuchi was shouting like this, what worried him the most was that the division commander Oba's ears softened. Being so squeezed out by Voronezh, Oba, as the former enemy commander-in-chief, actually withdrew the 13th Federal Infantry Division and replaced it with his own 5th Infantry Division.  The brigade goes into battle

    The total casualties suffered by the Kikuchi Brigade in the afternoon and evening yesterday were quite heavy. The 18th Infantry Regiment of Masago Eizaki suffered nearly half casualties, and Sugimoto Kaita's 6th Infantry Regiment suffered nearly a quarter casualties. The entire brigade suffered casualties.  The artillery battalions of the two infantry regiments of the regiment were completely destroyed, and the artillery battalion commander of the 6th Infantry Regiment, Major Isokawa, was actually killed
