    Leading the front is the Domon Brigade, and the one behind is the Xiangzhu Brigade. Brigade Commander Muto Nobuyoshi and Chief of Staff Takagi Yoshinari lead the Guzhuang Brigade in the middle, followed by the guards of the Chinese Armored 3rd Company. Of course, Takagi  He Muto did not ride a horse, but sat in a Chinese FJ18 Hummer command vehicle.

    A burst of rapid horse hoofbeats sounded from behind, and what caught up was Lieutenant Suzuki Teiichi, the confidential staff officer of the brigade headquarters who was riding a war horse. Previously, this guy and the radio station were left behind to wait for a reply from the former enemy headquarters. After Muto Nobuyoshi refused, he turned around.  After attacking the east gate of Kharkov to relieve the pressure on the main force on the northern front.

    Suzuki Teiichi was born at the age of 13 as the eldest son of Suzuki Yajuyoshi, a landowner in Chiba Prefecture. He passed through Seiki Gakusha in Tokyo, Kyoto Kita Junior High School, graduated from the 22nd class of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School in 1910, and graduated from the 29th class of the Army University in 1917.  My ambition is to develop forests in Manchuria, and I will continue to focus on research on China issues after graduation.

    Lieutenant Suzuki, who was born in Chiba Prefecture, is an army lieutenant who graduated from the University of China for less than a year. Being able to serve as the confidential staff officer of the Mutoh Brigade is a pretty good start. He came galloping on horseback and rolled his saddle. After dismounting from the horse, Suzuki Teiichi gasped.  Undecided to report out loud:

    "Reporting to the brigade commander and chief of staff, there is an urgent call from the former enemy headquarters. The second echelon of the eastern route has been established. The Jianchuan and Okamoto brigade have been placed under the command of the second echelon. The combat mission is to annihilate or at least defeat the three main Ukrainian divisions in the forest. We  The mission of the brigade is to continue to occupy the Kharkiv Bridge with one force, while the main force of the brigade goes south to meet the Yonezawa Regiment, and then cuts off the railway traffic and seizes or at least blocks the bridge over the Lopan River! "

    "Bagawhy are you panicking?" Chief of Staff Takagi Yoshinari was obviously a little dissatisfied with the young lieutenant who was a little hurriedly adjusting his glasses while reporting. He said that he was young, but Suzuki, a confidential staff officer who always likes to purse his lips and look troubled, was also a little dissatisfied.  He is already 30 years old. Almost all Japanese graduates from mainland universities are 28 or 9 years old. It is not surprising that Suzuki is thirty years old this year after graduating.

    "Hai!" Suzuki didn't dare to neglect, and stood upright, holding his breath as much as possible to make his breathing less cramped

    "Brigade Commander, it seems that the Commander of the Oba Division is determined to move the main battlefield eastward. This is due to your decision just now But why is it that the second echelon that was put together is neither Kikuchi nor Hisikari?  Colonel Long, let China Lu take this responsibility? Do we follow the order? That means handing over the command of the Jianchuan and Okamoto brigade!" Chief of Staff Takagi said suspiciously.

    Muto Nobuyoshi was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "Send a report to the Jianchuan and Okamoto brigade. The Jianchuan brigade moved south to occupy the forest road and waited for the second echelon of the East Road to move in. The Okamoto brigade went south to return to Jianchuan. The main force of the brigade continued  Go ahead and get to the scheduled location within one hour!¡±

    "Hai!" Takagi Yoshinari and Suzuki Sadashi agreed in unison. Although they both felt that it was a bit unreasonable for the brigade commander to only hand over the command of the Jianchuan Brigade, they saw the sneer and disdain on Muto Nobuyoshi's face and did not hesitate.  Dare to raise objections again.

    Of course, the 56th Infantry Battalion commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Renichiro Okamoto, the top graduate of the 21st batch of the Saber Group of the Mainland University, will obviously become the most difficult unit in the two-day long-distance return movement. The enemy of the Okamoto Battalion is not even Ukraine.  people, but dense forests, wetlands and swamps.

    Here, before Suzuki Teiichi had time to climb on horseback and return to the location of the confidential radio station, another Japanese captain and staff officer came panting from behind on horseback

    "ReportThe Okamoto Brigade is surrounded in the forest, and the 56th Infantry Brigade is requesting tactical guidance from the brigade!" The Japanese staff officer jumped off the horse in sweat and delivered a piece of bad news that no one expected!

    "Baga! Why are you panicking! What's going on?" Chief of Staff Takagi Yoshinari suppressed the panic in his heart and scolded the captain's staff officer in front of him with a tigerish face. Masaharu Honma, the confidential director who graduated from the 27th batch of the mainland university.

    Masaharu Honma was born in Niigata Prefecture, Japan. He graduated from the 19th class of the Japanese Army Sergeant School in May 1907 and the 27th class of the Japanese Army University in 1910. He was good friends with Imamura at the same time.  Known as the best English speaker in the military, he joined the General Staff Headquarters in 1917 and worked in the China Section. In 1918, he studied at Oxford University in the United Kingdom and served as a military attach¨¦ on the Western Front. From then on, he formed an indissoluble bond with the United Kingdom. He loved watching Western movies. During the war  He painted and wrote poems and was nicknamed "Poet General".

    In this time and space of 1918, Masaharu Honma, who graduated from the 27th class of the mainland university with honors, was transferred from his position as a military attach¨¦ to Nobuyoshi Muto's 23rd Infantry Brigade, and served as a confidential director responsible for everything at the brigade headquarters radio station.  During the exchange of telecommunications, Captain Honma, who is 18 meters tall and is known as a handsome man, is so confused. How can he satisfy Takagi Yoshinari?

    Of course, the face of Major General Nobuyoshi Muto, commander of the brigade next to him, was even more ugly

    July 31, 1918, 15:15, on the forest path southeast of Kharkov, troops of the Mutoh Brigade marched

    "Reporting to the brigade commander and chief of staff, we have just received an urgent message from the Okamoto brigade.?'s brigade was surrounded by the opponent's heavy troops while detouring the Ukrainian right wing. The enemy in front of them was at least the three main regiments of the 4th Ukrainian Infantry Division. Because the Okamoto brigade lost its way it actually walked into the rear of the swamp where the opponent was deployed.  The ambush circle Okamoto's brigade has fallen into a bitter battle. Lieutenant Colonel Okamoto requested the brigade headquarters to provide tactical guidance"

    After catching his breath, Lieutenant Masaharu Honma, the confidential director of the brigade headquarters, finally made his words clear

    A group of adjutants and staff around Muto looked at each other in shock when they heard this. Obviously, the news that the Okamoto brigade was surrounded was beyond everyone's expectations. Although the Ukrainians' defense in the forest was admirable, it would be easy for the opponent to act coldly at any time.  Counterattack and set up a pocket formation to surround the Okamoto brigade?  !

    "What are the casualties of the Okamoto Brigade" Chief of Staff Takagi Yoshinari jumped out of the Chinese Humvee command vehicle, rushed over and snatched the crumpled telegram from the 18-meter-tall Captain Masaharu Honma.  However, before he could see what was going on, Honma Masaharu continued to report,

    ¡°The Okabe brigade suffered more than 30% losses Two breakouts failed to open the encirclement Ammunition consumption was very large The strength of the 4th Ukrainian Infantry Division was ten times theirs Moreover, the terrain was unfavorable, with swamps on both sides, and the retreat was blocked.  The strength of a regiment on the other side was cut off, and in front were two Ukrainian infantry regiments encircling one on the left and one on the right" The confidential director completely regained his composure and gave a precise report. Although it was all bad news, the situation was answered in detail.  Difference.

    Although the brigade chief of staff, Takagi Yoshinari, has a tall character in his name, he is more than a head shorter than the 1.8-meter-tall Honma Masaharu. The guy turned around and said to Muto Nobuyoshi with a slightly trembling voice,

    "The brigade commander I didn't expect that the Ukrainians feinted a shot and apparently retreated to the east, but actually turned around and rushed to the south We can't sit back and watch the Okamoto brigade be wiped out!"
