    At this time, the field artillery in Muto's hand is a total of 4 75mm field guns from the artillery brigade, 7 75mm field guns from the China Du Li Artillery Battalion, and 8 105mm light howitzers

    "Brigade Commander, can we concentrate our existing 8 RI-type 75mm 38-type field guns and push them eastward to reinforce the Okamoto brigade The German Krupp 75mm field guns are too heavy, and the 105mm light howitzer is  It's heavier" A brigade artillery staff officer with the rank of captain suggested.

    Muto and Takagi turned around and saw that it was Captain Jun Imamura, the artillery staff officer of the brigade. This guy was squeezed next to the tall Masaharu Honma. The two were classmates in the 27th term of the mainland university. In Wang Geng's previous life, Masaharu Honma and Masaharu Honma  Kyun Imamura is the best of friends Don't underestimate Kyun Imamura. This guy is also one of the top six top students in the 27th Saber Team of the Mainland University Not only is he a top student, Kyun Imamura is even the 27th Saber Team of the Mainland University.  Group leader!  

    Jun Imamura (1886-1968), a Japanese Army general, was born in Miyagi Prefecture. He was the top graduate of the 28th class of Army University in 1915. He was a soldier with "both military and political excellence".

    Imamura Jun was born on June 28, 1886 (Meiji 19th year) in Sendai District, Miyagi Prefecture. His father was Judge Imamura Torao. Imamura was sick as a child and had poor health. He still wet the bed until he was 9 years old. Because of lack of sleep, he would wet the bed during class.  Napping every day.  Later, I transferred to Xinfatian Middle School and my health got better.  After the Russo-Japanese War, Japanese militarism prevailed. In 1905, the Japanese Emperor held a military parade at the Aoyama Army Training Ground. After visiting the military parade, Imamura, who was originally going to study economics, was admitted to the 19th Army Sergeant School with the support of his mother.  Period, graduated in December 1907.  

    After graduating from the Imperial Army, Imamura served as deputy deputy of the Fourth Infantry Regiment and was awarded the rank of second lieutenant.  Promoted to lieutenant in 1910, graduated with first place in the 28th class of Army University in 1915, and was awarded a sword by Emperor Taisho. (Masharu Honma ranked 3rd, Hideki Tojo ranked 11th in the same period). From then on, he began to rise as an army elite.  , In August 1916, he was attached to the Military Affairs Bureau of the Army Province, serving as an infantryman, and in May 1917, he was promoted to captain officer.

    Speaking of which, the 27th chief of the mainland who had a long history of bedwetting as a child had to wait until he became the aide-de-camp of Field Marshal Uehara Yusaku before he rose to prominence. At this time, due to the brigade commander of the 23rd Infantry Brigade, Muto Nobuyoshi's influence on the mainland  Because the chief among the juniors was not very popular, Captain Jun Imamura, who graduated from the infantry department, only held the idle position of artillery staff at the 23rd Infantry Brigade Headquarters.

    Imamura is willing to serve as an artillery staff officer in the Muto Brigade because his best friend, Captain Masaharu Honma, the third top student among the 27th batch of graduates of the Mainland University, serves as a confidential director under Takagi. A pair of close friends can work together.  Fighting together is a good opportunity that Imamura and Honma do not want to miss.

    In fact, speaking of it, Captain Imamura's appearance and posture are very similar to that of the brigade commander, Major General Nobuyoshi Muto. Both of them were also the top students when they graduated from the University of China, and both were once hailed as rising stars of the Japanese Army with "both military and political excellence."  , of course, at this moment, the 32-year-old Captain Imamura is still struggling with his qualifications and looking forward to the day when he will make his mark, while the 50-year-old Nobuyoshi Muto is already the commander of the Major General Brigade.

    "Soldiers must move quickly without further delay. I think Captain Imamura's suggestion is feasible The German 105mm light howitzers are too heavy, and even the 75mm Krupp field guns are too heavy, so I replaced Major Wu's four 75mm 38-type field guns.  We organized an artillery detachment with the remaining 4 field guns of the same model from our two artillery brigades. With the help of the engineering regiment, we opened a road through the forest and advanced eastward. As long as we moved 3 kilometers eastward, we could launch the artillery shells.  It hit the heads of the Ukrainians who surrounded Okamoto's brigade!" The confidential director, Captain Masaharu Honma, had no awareness of being a subordinate and directly acted as the brigade's chief of staff in order to support Imamura.

    "BagaCaptain Honma, please be careful. The 23rd Infantry Brigade has not yet had your turn to take charge of me as the Chief of Staff!" Chief of Staff Takagi finally couldn't help but get angry. Honma, a tall man,  A series of taller Hayi admitted their mistakes, but it was clear that Muto Nobuyoshi had listened to the advice of Imamura and Honma.

    "The Type 38 field gun weighs 947 kilograms. The remaining three 75mm Krupp field guns in Major Wu's artillery battalion only weigh 1,016 kilograms. I think all 11 75mm field guns can be incorporated into the advancing artillery team.  , Even if you push, you can push through these three kilometers to reinforce the Okamoto Brigade with firepower" Suzuki Teiichi, the confidential staff officer with glasses on the bridge of his nose, muttered to the side.

    "Commander of the brigade, I think this method is feasiblebutdon't you send ground troops to rescue the siege?" Chief of Staff Takagi Yoshinari turned to ask Muto Nobuyoshi.

    "There is no need for ground troops. The Ukrainian artillery in the forest has suffered heavy losses, and it is estimated that there are no more artillery shells. If only the air force goes to attack the ground, the opponent may not be willing to withdraw, but if our artillery can hit the artillery shells,  , the other party may not be able to hold on anymore, they will think that the main force of our ground troops has surrounded us" Muto Nobuyoshi replied affirmatively.

    A group of Japanese army staff officers around them all looked at each other after hearing this, obviously deeply convinced. Only Chief of Staff Takagi asked unwillingly,

      "Soshould our main force continue to go south to meet the Yonezawa United Force? Why not turn around and head east, cooperate with Lu Huanyan's second echelon to kill the three Ukrainian divisions in the forest that have lost artillery support" Takagi obviously does not want to himself  After their brigade fought with the opponent for a long time, the fruits of victory were picked up by the second echelon of Lu Huanyan who came up for reinforcements

    "No, the main force of the brigade continues to move south. It is more critical to connect with the Yonezawa Cavalry Regiment. If the south does not assume a posture to cut off the retreat of the Kharkov defenders, the main force of the German army from the south will come up with reinforcements without any scruples. When the time comes, from  If there is a counterattack at the east gate of Kharkov, a brigade of the Shuiye Alliance alone cannot seal the gate. At that time, Lu Huanyan¡¯s second echelon will ask people to cut off the logistics support line. In fact, our logistics support line and the second echelon  They are tied together"

    Muto Nobuyoshi's determination was made quickly, and he did not accept the suggestion of Chief of Staff Takagi. In fact, deep down in his heart, Muto's ambition and ambition to stand alone were also important reasons. Now, whether the second echelon of the East Route detour commanded by Lu Huanyan is  Both the military strength and firepower exceed the Muto Brigade. Lu Huanyan will not hand over the command to himself at this time. Otherwise, there will be no second echelon of east route detours. He should directly strengthen the reinforcements to the Muto Brigade.  right.
