    In fact, the experiences of Ume-tsumijiro and Hata Shunroku, who was one year above him, were similar. In this time and space, Hata Shunroku jumped from major to major general in one year. He was the chief of the 20th period of the mainland, and also after the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War.  , Shunroku Hata and Mijiro Ume-tsu were incorporated into the Third Army led by Nogi Nogi and went to Lushun to participate in the war against Russia.  (144 books! No., pop-up window www.dyzww.com [First_Chinese_ÎÄ_Íø] In October 1901, during the attack on Jiguan Mountain by the Japanese Third Army, bullets penetrated  Although Hata Shunroku survived after being rescued, his lungs remained thin and sickly for the rest of his life.

    And Shunroku Hata's injury also enabled him to receive the first medal in his military career, the fifth-class Golden Horse Medal.  The mainland chief who was one term younger than Hata Shunroku had similar initial experiences. However, Ume-tsumijiro did not have the favor, care, promotion and sponsorship of the King of China, so he was also a recipient of the fifth-level Golden Medal of Merit.  He was promoted to Army Major just 2 months ago, and he still serves as the operations section chief of the Japanese 3rd Division.

    "Major Umetsu, what's the problem that you can't explain in advance? What's the point of bringing it up now? This is too disrespectful! Why don't you apologize to the division commander!" said the 3rd Division Chief of Staff, Colonel Hisashikari Taka.  scolded!

    "Hai! Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, I think the Muto brigade is in a dangerous situation. If the Kharkov garrison abandons the city and goes east into the forest area to avoid the threat of our air force, it is not impossible.  If we go south, although the enemy retreats quickly along the railway, the armored trains cannot withstand the air attacks of our air force. We can use bombing to destroy the railway at any time and cut off the channel for overthrow and retreat. Of course, it is also the channel for enemy reinforcements! "

    The 36-year-old little man, Ume Tsumijiro, the commander of the operations section, stands straight with his chest puffed out, his face is thin and fair, but his eyes are firm and there is no trace of fear

    July 31, 1918 13:45 Japanese Infantry 23rd Brigade Brigade Headquarters in the forest east of Kharkiv City

    "Nani? The division commander is only willing to allocate one squad of SE5 fighters and one squad of DH4 reconnaissance bombers to me? To the east of my Muto brigade is the main force of the 1st Army of the Ukrainian National Army with more than 25,000 troops. Behind me is Kazakhstan.  The main force of the German-Ukrainian coalition defenders will emerge from the city of Erkov at any time Didn't it mean that the air force has already wiped out the enemy artillery deployed in the south city area Why can't they all turn around to support my attack? "

    Major General Nobuyoshi Muto, the brigade commander of the 23rd Infantry Brigade of the 3rd Infantry Division of Japan, smashed a military green teapot with the tea and water on the ground. A group of staff officers of the 23rd Infantry Brigade around him became very upset.  Dare to come out.

    "Commander of the brigade, Lieutenant General Da Ting seems to be preparing to continue to attack the opponent's second line of defense on the northern line. Although the northern wall of the Kharkov Old City Fortress has a gap of less than 1 kilometer in the middle, it is for the convenience of the railway.  and highways, but along the railway lines are also core positions and fortresses built with the help of German engineers. It may not be that easy for the main force on the northern line to attack Kharkov The 13th Federal Infantry Division in Voronezh is again  Those who can fight have already suffered too many casualties and cannot be of any use. The Kikuchi brigade has only just replenished the front line of fire The commander of the Otani division obviously believes that it is necessary to ensure the firepower equipment in the main attack direction!"

    On the side, persuading the decomposition and trying to appease the commander of his own brigade was Colonel Takagi Yoshinari, the chief of staff of Muto Brigade. This guy was the only guy in the entire 23rd Infantry Brigade who dared to speak out to persuade the brigade commander Muto when he was furious.  He was also the chief of staff candidate personally selected by Muto.

    "Without the air support of the aviation team, how can our Muto brigade keep up with the retreat of the opponent's three divisions on just two legs? We will stab the Ukrainian volunteer divisions rushing out of the city at any time from behind. This roundabout force of ours  How can we fight the battle? Can¡¯t we see that the enemy headquarters is facing enemies from both sides? What about concentrating the main force? There are also four 14th Federal Infantry Divisions on the northern front?  Together with the artillery battalion of the 15th Division and China's two armored battalions, can't we just send the remaining air force over Kharkov? The combat power of 8 aircraft is the same as that of 24 aircraft?  Yes?"

    Muto Nobuyoshi hurried back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back, his voice full of ferocity and cruelty. He wanted to be on his own and lead his brigade to achieve a more powerful record than the Kikuchi brigade yesterday, but why was there always an invisible one?  The hands are dragging me down invisibly!

    "Chief of Staff, call Lieutenant General Datong back and remind him that whether it is the Southwest Front Army Headquarters or the Allied Forces Headquarters in Samara, when formulating the operational plan for the first phase of the Ukrainian campaign, the focus is on annihilating the effective forces of the Uzbek-Ukrainian coalition. However,  I never said that the first goal would be to capture the city. Now in front of me are three main infantry divisions of the 1st Army of the Ukrainian National Army. The opponent's counterattack has failed and is retreating. At this time, our Muto brigade must get the full strength of the aviation team.??Guide can catch the enemy and annihilate it!  "

    Muto stopped and ordered to Chief of Staff Takagi. Takagi frowned a little embarrassed when he heard this. He thought that the decision of the former enemy headquarters was so easy to overturn. It can give us a fighter squadron and a bomber squadron.  The tactical guidance is already quite good. All 24 aircraft of the two squadrons of the Allied Air Force above Kharkov must be allocated to fight above the forest. I am afraid that the commander of the Grand Court Division will not agree

    "Chief of Staff, what are you doing standing still? Call me back quickly!" Muto Nobuyoshi was obviously quite dissatisfied with Takagi's hesitation.

    Colonel Arai Tatsuya, commander of the 19th Infantry Regiment nearby, stood up and persuaded, "Your Excellency, brigade commander, the former enemy headquarters obviously has the capture of Kharkov as its first goal. In my opinion, our brigade  We can only rely on the remaining troops to continue the fight. Fortunately, half of the base of artillery shells have been rushed up, and the air support of 8 fighters is better than nothing. At this time I am afraid that I will overturn the decision of the former enemy headquarters.  It¡¯s a bit late¡­¡±

    "Arai, the combat effectiveness of the Ukrainians to the east is not weak at all. Without the full support of the air force, the remaining troops of our brigade alone cannot defeat the opponent's three main divisions Could it be that we have worked so hard to make a roundabout way?  Come from the east and just watch this big fish slip through your fingers! Or do you think that we can catch all the Ukrainians with only half of the artillery casualties and your 19th Regiment?"  Xinyi looked at his subordinate captain with a livid face and asked.
