Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Simon Petliura was enraged by the situation that occurred on the position of the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Division of Volunteers. Not only did the 1st Division Commander Khushev sneak from the north to the west of the city under the guise of inspecting the 1st Brigade's position, but also the 2nd Brigade  Brigadier Khuzamov actually followed, and now only the 2nd Brigade Chief of Staff Shapar was left in charge of commanding the entire brigade!

    "Vyacheslav Vechenovich Shapar! In the name of the Minister of Defense and the General Director of the National Army of Ukraine, I promote you to the position of Acting Commander of the 1st Volunteer Division and Commander of the 2nd Brigade, responsible for the command  For the northern defensive position, the key is to organize the anti-slope machine gun firepower and cooperate with the core position to attack the enemy from three sides and eliminate it in the open space in the middle. Don't worry about the left and right wings. The Japanese artillery's 150mm howitzer can't destroy us.  As long as the 4-meter-wide stone city wall persists until evening, the main German reinforcements will arrive! ".

    Simon Petliura was able to recruit the national army to become the Prime Minister and Minister of Defense. This guy is quite capable of leading troops and employing people. The commander of the 1st Division and the Commander of the 2nd Brigade actually pretended to inspect the 1st Brigade position.  Koji left his post without permission. In normal times, he would not only go berserk but even shoot these two weak-willed guys, but now it is more important to bring up the Chief of Staff of the 2nd Brigade to command the troops to withstand the next wave of enemy attacks.  !

    Throwing down the phone here, Simon Petliura angrily shouted at the Ukrainian staff officer behind him, "Pass my order, you personally lead the law enforcement team to the 1st Brigade position to kill Khushev and Khuzamov."  I caught them, and the enemy actually escaped. The division commanders and brigade commanders of these two bastards were all removed from their positions, and they were escorted back to the 2nd Brigade position to defend the bunker! Anyone who dared to resist would be shot to death."

    When the Ukrainian staff agreed to go, the German major general next to him clapped his hands and said, "Simon, your decisiveness in handling this time is quite good. However, the 2nd Brigade still needs supplements and reinforcements. This will help ease the  The tense atmosphere among the soldiers of the 2nd Brigade will help. I think some more machine guns and mortars will be transferred from the 1st Brigade to reinforce the 2nd Brigade's position Hmm Another squad will be transferred from my guard, German soldiers and Ukrainians  Soldiers fighting side by side will definitely boost the morale of the troops!¡±

    "That's all we can do, but Sven, can you bring up your 139th Infantry Regiment from the south, even if it's just one battalion? I think the 1st Volunteer Division is running out of energy!" said the Ukrainian Prime Minister.  Under the praise of the German major general, he was happy at first, and then said worriedly. ¥ì.si³ke.?˼?·&c³bs;¿Í¥ì

    "The defense line in the southern part of the city is the key to defending Kharkov. If the retreat route is cut off by the coalition forces, the city will be impossible to defend. We only need to hold on for another three hours, no, even for two more hours, to maintain the southern line.  Once the railway is open, I will prepare to bring back the main force of the German 47th Infantry Division. At that time, as long as the Nancheng defense line and the railway bridge are still in our hands, I can overthrow the main force of the invading coalition forces in one go! "

    The words of the German Major General made the Ukrainian Prime Minister very happy when he heard the words. The guy couldn't help but jump up. His head, wearing a German-made pointed steel helmet, accidentally hit the handle of the bell rope, causing the rope to rise up on the bell tower.  The big bell rang loudly, scaring the German major general and hurriedly dragging the guy down. The movement on the bell tower obviously attracted the attention of the coalition SE5 biplane fighter jets hovering in the air. Two SE5s were in front of each other.  Then it roared and swooped down from an altitude of 500 meters, and the lead plane had already sprayed out a stream of hot large-caliber machine gun bullets, sending sparks and rubble flying from the eaves of the bell tower.

    Seeing that the loft of the bell tower was no longer safe, the German major general and the Ukrainian Prime Minister had no choice but to withdraw quickly

    Speaking of which, what can threaten the machine gun fire ports on the anti-sloping wall of the defending side is the SE5 fighter jet of the coalition forces that dives and sweeps, but the shooting angle is also quite limited. After all, it will hit the city wall accidentally

    July 31, 1918 14:00 In a dense forest on the west side of the railway line five kilometers southwest of Kharkiv, the headquarters of the 4th Japanese Cavalry Regiment.

    "Baga the artillery brigade lost 70% With the cooperation of 8 fighter planes of the Allied Air Force, you actually lost to the two German armored trains?! This is simply unreasonable! Totally incompetent!" A makeshift structure was built in the woods.  In front of the raised tent of the regiment headquarters, Colonel Yonezawa Kogoro, the captain of Japan's 4th Cavalry Regiment, was furiously training several captains of the cavalry regiment.

    In the establishment of the Eastern Front Allied Forces of the Allied Powers, the originally weak Japanese cavalry units were particularly strengthened. It is now a Japanese cavalry regiment with three cavalry brigades and a field artillery brigade. This is more than Japan's domestic standing divisions  The cavalry regiment under its jurisdiction only has two cavalry squadrons, so the establishment is much larger.

    Among the cavalry regiments belonging to the three divisions of the Japanese 3rd Army, one cavalry regiment has three cavalry brigades and one cavalry artillery brigade. Each cavalry brigade has four cavalry squadrons, and one cavalry squadron has three cavalry squadrons.  A cavalry squad, a squad is 70 people!  It turns out that a Japanese cavalry squadron only manages two cavalry squads.The difference is one-third, so the Japanese cavalry establishment in the coalition is much stronger and more substantial than that in Japan.

    The cavalry brigade of the 4th Japanese Cavalry Regiment, plus the brigade directly under the brigade headquarters, each brigade has about 850 troops. The total of the three cavalry brigade has 2550 people. In addition, the cavalry artillery brigade of the brigade has 3 artillery squadrons.  4 75mm Type 41 mountain guns and 8 75mm Type 38 field guns. As a member of the 4-unit packhorse division group, the artillery brigade of the 4th Yonezawa Cavalry Regiment has a headcount of 999 people and 720 horses plus logistics.  horse.

    Coupled with the reconnaissance cavalry squadron directly under the wing, the total strength of Yonezawa Kogoro's 4th Cavalry Regiment is around 4,000. The nearly 300 cavalrymen of the 4th Regiment who were attrited in the Battle of Ufa are already in the Allied Southwest Front.  After establishment, all reserves will be used to make up for it.

    Each cavalry squad of the 4th Japanese Cavalry Regiment is equipped with two coalition platoon-affiliated 60mm mortars and three Browning squad machine guns, and each cavalry squadron is equipped with an air-cooled Browning heavy machine gun.  , each brigade also has an 8-gun 81mm caliber mortar squad.

    The 4th Yonezawa Cavalry Regiment only has a 300-man engineer squadron, which makes his troops unable to build bridges as quickly as the 3rd Engineer Regiment and the 23rd Muto Infantry Brigade that built bridges across the Kharkov River.  In comparison, and because the Yudi and Lopan rivers are located in plains and hilly areas, unlike the Kharkov River that flows along the edge of the forest, the engineers of the Yoneza Regiment cannot cut trees nearby, so they were originally placed in the 4th Cavalry.  The difficulties facing the alliance are obviously quite considerable.
