    "The coalition is attacking!" a Ukrainian staff officer yelled in a panic while holding a telescope. The Ukrainian Prime Minister was furious when he heard this. He went up and kicked the staff officer with the rank of captain, and he cursed,  "Why are you panicking! If you dare to shake the morale of our troops, I will kill you! Pass my order, and the 2nd Volunteer Brigade is ready to enter the position!"

    As he spoke, Simon Petliura rushed to the side of the German major general and raised his telescope to look out. He took a breath of air after just one glance. If the coalition ground forces only sent two battalions to attack in the morning,  , so now, in front of a position less than 4 kilometers wide, the coalition forces engaged in the attack are at least two infantry regiments Although there are no Chinese armored troops, a full brigade of enemy troops is less than 1,200 meters away.  A comprehensive attack was obviously launched on the front, and the 48 75mm mountain field guns of the coalition's field artillery wing behind the position were also unscrupulously bombarding our position with fierce artillery fire

    At this time, in addition to the long-range artillery of the coalition field artillery wing 5 kilometers behind the position, which was continuously bombarding the defenders' first-line position, the mortar position of the coalition M81 Battalion 1,800 meters in front of the position was  The mortars also started firing accurately. Mortar shells weighing 3.6 kilograms roared towards the Ukrainian defenders' positions and fell into the trenches quite accurately, exploding into clouds of blood mist.  Those were the unlucky volunteer infantrymen who were preparing to take up the position after receiving the order!

    In fact, the coalition forces on the opposite side deployed 6 main infantry battalions to launch a ground attack. The total strength exceeded more than 3,600 people. Even if they were arranged on a battlefield width of 4,000 meters, there would only be about 1 meter per person. Of course, the coalition's offensive formation  There are still 6 large arrows formed in units of battalions, which are relatively evenly distributed on the battlefield width of 4 kilometers. The average interval between each arrow is about 600 or 700 meters. The offensive arrows of each battalion level are about the same.  It is composed of 4 company-sized small arrows

    This time, the impact route of the coalition's offensive troops was only 1,200 meters away. This was a short distance, and it looked like mountains and plains. The density of long-range artillery fire at the rear of the coalition reached almost 12 guns per kilometer.  , even if it is only a 75mm mountain field gun, this is a quite dense and amazing density of artillery fire. ¥ì.si³ke.?˼?·&c³bs;¿Í¥ì

    The permanent machine gun fortifications on the Ukrainian position began to spit out hot flames to intercept the attacking coalition infantry. However, the 75mm Type 41 mountain cannon on the coalition's rear position was obviously not a vegetarian. One mountain cannon shell fired in less than 2,000  The distance of 3 meters accurately followed the firing port of the defenders' machine gun fortifications. Many shells penetrated directly into the fortifications and exploded the volunteers' mg08 heavy machine guns and the machine guns into a room full of flesh and blood

    The greatest threat to the defenders' heavy machine gun fortifications is not the 12 75mm mountain guns of the Japanese army, but the coalition's m191837aa anti-aircraft artillery/anti-tank guns deployed near the m81 mortar position 1,800 meters away. This is also the coalition's  The northern front position used China's latest 37mm gun on a large scale for the first time.

    Although the two infantry regiments of the Kikuchi Brigade were respectively deployed on the left and right wings of the battle line and did not participate in the attack of the 13th Federal Infantry Division, the two infantry regiments of the 6th Infantry Regiment and the 18th Infantry Regiment each had 6 guns of 37mm high altitude.  However, the artillery squadron was strengthened to the 13th Infantry Division of Voronezh. Together with the 6 guns of an M191837aa anti-aircraft artillery/anti-tank gun company under the 13th Federal Infantry Division, this time it came to support Voronezy.  In addition to the 12 75mm Type 41 mountain guns of the Tanaka Artillery Regiment, the 6 main infantry battalions of Ronye attacked, as well as the 18 latest 37mm anti-tank guns.

    Voronezh organically combined the m191837aa anti-aircraft gun/anti-tank battery with its own m81 battalion mortar position, exerting tremendous power at a distance of 1,800 meters. You must know that German engineers helped the Ukrainians build  Although the defense line in the northern suburbs of Kharkov is not as strong as the trench defense line near the border, it is also a trench position dominated by reinforced concrete fortifications. The top cover and walls of the defenders' machine gun fortifications are almost more than half a meter thick.  These solid reinforced concrete fortresses buried half in the soil cannot be defeated by a mere 6.5 kilogram 75mm field artillery shell

    In fact, there is a solid reinforced concrete bunker fortification less than 50 meters on average in the northern suburbs of Kharkiv. At least three mg08 heavy machine guns can be placed behind the gun openings in the three directions above the ground, and the defenders' defense line  It is not a simple defense line like a snake formation of chairs, but a well-proportioned defense line with bulges and depressions. The purpose of this is to form cross fire to support each other. The intricate spider web-like traffic trenches connect the trenches and fortifications.

    On this 4-kilometer defense line, the defenders have more than 100 such strong fortifications and bunkers. In the first wave of air strikes by the coalition air force in the morning, only 50 kilograms of aviation bombs dropped by the dh4 reconnaissance bombers of the coalition air force.  The bomb only posed a threat to the fortresses and fortifications on the Ukrainian position, but unless it directly hit the roof, a 50-kilogram aerial bomb would almost fail.The power of ? is still not enough to destroy such a short mushroom fortress.

    In fact, in the first wave of air raids by the coalition air force in the morning, not all the dh4 bomber groups carried 50-kilogram level aerial bombs. At least one squadron carried 8-kilogram 25-kilogram level bombs. Such bombs hit the Ukrainians three times in a row.  The fortress was still unable to destroy the fortifications. In the first wave of air strikes by the coalition forces in the morning, only a dozen such strong fortresses were destroyed in total, relying on 50 kilogram-level aerial bombs.

    The previous 36 75mm field guns of the Tanaka Field Artillery Regiment had only 6.5 kilograms of shells. Although more than 4,300 rounds of 75mm field artillery shells guarded the defenders' positions and Beicheng District in 20 minutes, causing smoke and flames to fill the area, the defenders were destroyed.  There are no more than 3 fortresses

    4,300 rounds of field artillery shells have to bombard a 4,000-meter-long and 100-meter-wide front. On average, the area where the bombs can be dropped is 93 square meters before one bullet is dropped. Since the Ukrainian fortifications are about 50 meters each, this pair relies on firepower coverage and  It is a great challenge for the Tanaka Artillery Regiment to destroy enemy positions with full range of casualties. Think about the average density of only 1.2 75mm guns within 100 meters, but it has to use 75mm shells to continuously and accurately hit enemies 5 kilometers away and 50 meters apart.  Military industry, this adjustment is obviously not small
