    Rather than using his armored troops to attack the enemy's solid defense line under the city of Kharkov, Lu Huanyan prefers his troops to cross the river to the Kharkov forest to fight in the field. After all, the fd17 wheeled armored battlefield is not a tracked tank.  The thickness is actually limited. It is a huge engineering challenge to clear the ground roadblocks in front of the core position in the ruins of Kharkov City.  (None., pop-up window

    "The two artillery battalions of the 14th Federal Infantry Division can fight across the river, but the logistics of the center army must ensure the supply of ammunition, otherwise the artillery shells will be nothing more than fire sticks" The temporary commander of the 14th Federal Infantry Division, the 15th is 4  Voronezh from the artillery battalion said angrily.

    "Kikuchi, what do you think?" The division commander finally turned around and stared at Shinnosuke Kikuchi, the commander of the 5th Infantry Brigade, with a very unkind look. The murderous look in the eyes of the division commander made Kikuchi feel shocked.  He shuddered. If he dared to say no at this time, he would obviously become the scapegoat for the failure of the Central Army's attack today

    "Your Excellency, Division Commander The east-route roundabout force was originally dominated by the Muto brigade, and the person responsible for commanding the roundabout troops was Major General Muto If I led the 18th Infantry Regiment to fight across the river Who would I listen to in terms of command? There are no military orders.  The battle for unification cannot be fought" Shinnosuke Kikuchi thought about it for a long time before finally speaking.

    Oba Jiro snorted, glanced at Kikuchi Shinnosuke, and then at the division chief of staff Hishikari Takashi beside him. As the division's chief of staff, how could Hisashikari Takashi not know what his division commander meant?  The two brigade commanders, Kikuchi and Muto, have disliked each other for more than a day or two. Both sides regard the other as the biggest obstacle to their career advancement. Kikuchi Shinnosuke's 5th Infantry Brigade took the lead yesterday.  The 3rd Division has made a great contribution. After crossing the river today, the Muto Brigade has only occupied one Kharkov Bridge

    At this time, if Kikuchi is sent across the river to give tactical guidance to Major General Muto, not only may the three main divisions of the Ukrainians not be able to be eliminated in time, but the two brigade commanders will also start fighting among themselves. Kikuchi cannot command Muto.  The troops of the brigade, and conversely, how could Muto Nobuyoshi be able to command the troops of the Kikuchi brigade?

    "Division Commander, the Northern Front is still the main battlefield of the Central Route Army. I think Commander Kikuchi still has to stay on the Northern Front to assist you in commanding the operations. Can the Voronezh Division Commander be asked to transfer an infantry regiment from the 13th Federal Infantry Division?  In addition, the 4,000 troops of the Eizaki Masagano Regiment were placed under the command of Colonel Lu Huanyan, commander of the 1st Armored Regiment. Together with the 1st and 2nd Armored Battalions, they formed the second echelon of the east route roundabout to participate in the battle in the eastern forest  Try to capture the opponent's three Ukrainian divisions in the forest before the main German reinforcements arrive!"

    The chief of staff of the division, Colonel Hisashikari Taka, came up with a new idea as soon as his eyes rolled. Of course, this guy actually planned to command the second echelon of the East Route detour. However, Muto and Kikuchi were not good at it. Hishikari Taka asked himself  In Japan's 3rd Division, only Oba Jiro was able to restrain the two brigade commanders, Muto and Kikuchi. Hishikari Takashi himself was only the chief of staff, but Kikuchi was fine. He had no intention of asking Hishikari Taka to command Muto Nobuyoshi.  This self-confidence.

    Therefore Hisashikari Taka planned to suggest Oba Jiro to hand over the responsibility of commanding the second echelon of the East Route detour to Lu Huanyan, the commander of the Chinese Armored Regiment. Although this leader is only a 28-year-old Chinese Army Colonel, he is quite experienced in combat command, and the Chinese Armored Forces under his command  There is no doubt about the strength of the battle force. At least half of the credit for the victory of the Ezaki Shoggang Wing yesterday must be attributed to the two armored battalions commanded by Lu Huanyan, followed by the air strikes of the two bomber groups of the Allied Air Force

    In fact, judging from the promotion speed of generals in the Chinese participating army, Lu Huanyan, a top student who graduated from the Artillery Department of Baoding Third Period, is now only a colonel commander, which is quite slow. Bai Chongxi and Zhang Weizhen, his classmates in the same period in Baoding Third Period, are already members of the participating army.  The commander of the reorganized division, and Hu Zongduo, who was one year below him in the 4th period of Baoding, was already the commander of the armored brigade

    In this time and space of 1918, Lu Huanyan was only the commander of the armored regiment with the qualifications of the third phase of Baoding, so he was promoted slowly. Of course, this also has something to do with his willingness to command the armored troops rather than being the chief of staff of the mixed brigade.  The so-called "preferring to be the head of a chicken rather than the queen of an ox" refers to guys like Lu Huanyan. This point may not be deeply felt by Oba Jiro, but the chief of staff of the Japanese 3rd Division, Hisashi Kari Taka, is already watching from the sidelines and is inseparable.

    After the 3rd Armored Battalion under Lu Huanyan was assigned to the Muto Brigade, the results achieved were obviously not as good as yesterday's results in the upper reaches of the Kharkov Forest under the direct command of Lu Huanyan. This aspect was due to Muto Nobuyoshi's use of armored troops and  The command has not yet learned the ropes. On the other hand, it is an indisputable fact that the combat passion and will of the 3rd Armored Battalion commanded by Chinese Major Li Shang are not as strong as when the armored troops were acting alone yesterday.

    ??Building your own meritorious service and making wedding dresses for others areIn many cases, it may not have such an obvious impact, but under the command of a headstrong Japanese general like Muto Nobuyoshi, it is difficult to ensure that the middle and lower-level generals of the Chinese armored forces can still be so comfortable and unreservedly dedicated.

    As the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, Oba Jiro certainly could not personally direct the roundabout operations of the crossing troops. At the same time, he did not think that his chief of staff Hishikari Taka could restrain Kikuchi Shinnosuke and Muto Nobuyoshi, the treasure-level brigade commanders in Voronezh.  It was made clear that he would not volunteer to cross the river to accept Muto's command. To say that Masago Keizaki of the 18th Infantry Regiment was barely a suitable candidate for the commander of the second echelon. Regardless of his ability to command operations, the advantage was that he was obedient.  It can produce deadly force, but its disadvantage is that it lacks the ability to make arbitrary decisions when the situation arises, and it is impossible to command Nobuyoshi Muto

    From this point of view, we can only push the 28-year-old commander of the armored regiment, China Lu, to the position of commander of the second echelon of the East Route detour. In this way, the Central Route Army can be regarded as an elite unit that is determined to win. If the Chinese Armored Regiment, which is the mainstay,  If the regiment cannot win on the forest battlefield In the future, General Utsunomiya or the Chinese King of Samara will be blamed. At least there is Lu Huanyan who can bear the blame, right?

    "Lu Sang, what do you think of the chief of staff's suggestion?" Oba Jiro turned around and asked China Lu personally. Although Muto Nobuyoshi may not be able to buy Lu Huanyan's account, it is better than asking Shinnosuke Kikuchi or Ogawa, the chief of staff of the 5th Infantry Brigade.  Jiachun went to Hedong to add to the chaos, and Muto no longer knew the importance. Lu Huanyan had a Chinese armored regiment, a federal infantry regiment, an 18th Infantry Regiment, and two artillery battalions from the 14th Federal Infantry Division to help out. These two echelons were both in terms of military strength and strength.  The firepower has exceeded the strength of Muto's brigade. At this time, Muto is a pig and will not fight against Lu Huanyan for the issue of command.
