Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Soon, the two Japanese artillery battalion captains at the back of the team, Major Okabe Naosaburo, the captain of the 7th Artillery Battalion, and Major Obata Toshishiro, the captain of the 19th Artillery Battalion, rode up on horseback. Behind them, sitting  Major Wu Keren, commander of the Duli Artillery Battalion of the Armored Regiment, is driving a Chinese FJ18 Humvee command vehicle. ¥ì.si³ke.?˼?·&c³bs;¿Í¥ì

    "Gentlemen, the Okabe brigade is surrounded in the northwest of us, and the infantry cannot rescue it. I plan to deploy 75mm field guns to form an artillery advance detachment. With the help of the engineering unit, move from the current position to the forest to the east, and strive to reach the halfway point in the forest.  If you can use that artillery fire to rescue the besieged Okabe Brigade within an hour Hmm Who is willing to command this artillery advancing unit?" Muto Nobuyoshi looked at the three artillery commanders who were wiping sweat in front of him

    Naosaburo Okabe is luckier than Captain Jun Imamura and Captain Masaharu Honma, the chiefs of the 27th period of Riku University at the same time. This guy is an artilleryman from Riku University, so he is leading the Infantry Division.  The 7th Artillery Battalion of the 7th Regiment has been officially promoted to the rank of Major, unlike Imamura and Honma who are only captains

    And Major Obata Toshishiro, the captain of the 19th Artillery Battalion, is considered to be the leader of the 23rd batch of graduates from mainland China. This guy looks down on Naosaburo Okabe, who graduated from the 27th batch, but his military rank was wasted for a few years.  He's just a major

    As for Wu Keren, the major battalion commander of the Duli Artillery Battalion of the Chinese Armored Regiment, he obviously kept a relatively low profile in front of Muto. Although his artillery battalion suffered less losses in the previous artillery battle with the Ukrainians than the two Japanese artillery brigades, he also  It can be seen that the commander of the artillery advance unit that Muto Nobuyoshi wants to temporarily form will not fall on him.  . .

    On the bright side, the three main infantry brigades of Muto Brigade and Li Shang's 3rd Armored Battalion went south to meet the Yonezawa Cavalry Regiment. The remaining eight 105mm Krupp light howitzers of their own artillery battalion are the Dinghai Shenzhen Army.  It's a heavy weapon Muto will not let himself command 11 75mm field guns to relieve the Okamoto brigade, but let Japan's two artillery majors command his two 105mm light howitzer batteries for him

    Sure enough, the two artillery battalion captains Okabe Naosaburo and Obata Toshishiro were arguing fiercely. They both clamored to lead a temporary artillery advance detachment to rescue the Okamoto battalion. Muto Nobuyoshi had a headache from the quarrel, and made the decision with a wave of his hand.  But it is beyond everyone¡¯s expectation,

    "Shut up, everyone. How can you behave like this? How can you, the Imperial samurai, be so talkative? Okabe and Obata, you two artillery brigades only have an artillery squadron of 4 75mm field guns left. I decided to hand over the artillery advance detachment to  The brigade artillery staff is commanded by Captain Jun Imamura He is the chief of the 27th batch of the mainland, a graduate with both military and political excellence Okabe, what are you dissatisfied with? As for Obata, you are a senior in the 23rd batch, why are you following the juniors?  Nonsense"

    The decision of brigade commander Nobuyoshi Muto silenced everyone present. No one, Okabe or Obata, benefited, and no one wanted to take the place of Lieutenant Jun Imamura, the artillery staff officer. As a result, the 27th Chief of the Continental Continent  Saber Captain Jun Imamura inadvertently ushered in the opportunity to lead a field artillery unit for the first time in his life. He was responsible for commanding a temporarily merged Japanese artillery squadron and two Chinese artillery companies, with a total of 11 75mm field guns

    The main force of the Muto brigade, led by Muto and Takagi, got back on the road without stopping and continued to advance towards the south of the forest

    July 31, 1918 15:30, in the eastern swamp of the Kharkiv Forest, the Okamoto Brigade of the Mutoh Brigade was besieged

    The Okamoto Battalion is the 56th Infantry Battalion of the 19th Japanese Infantry Regiment. The captain is Lieutenant Commander Okamoto Renichiro. Okamoto Renichiro is four years older than Furushuo Yoshiro, but they are classmates who graduated from the 21st batch of Mainland University at the same time.  , but the relationship has never been good. The reason is that the young and energetic Furushuo took away Okamoto's chief qualification, so that the eldest brother Okamoto only received an excellent rating.

    Okamoto is from Wakayama Prefecture.  Okamoto Ren no Susumu's eldest son, Yoshitaka.  Graduated from the Army Sergeant School (9th period) in November 1897 (Meiji 30).  In June of the following year 1898 (Meiji 31), he was awarded the title of second lieutenant of infantry and was appointed as an officer. He was assigned to the 27th Infantry Company as Tonako.  In December 1909 (Meiji 42), he graduated from Army University (21st term) with honors.

    Captain of the 61st Infantry Company, lecturer at the Military Affairs Bureau of the Army Province, deputy commander of the 65th Infantry Company, stationed at Amenara, stationed at Amara, captain of the 23rd Infantry Company, and instructor at the Army Infantry School, Nanako Tsuna. At the end of 1917, he served as the 19th Infantry Regiment.  Captain of the 55th Infantry Brigade.

    Okamoto is a bit of a big brother in front of Guzhuang. When Okamoto graduated from the 21st batch of the University of China, he was so confident that he didn't get the top spot and was only awarded an honors. On the contrary, Guzhuang, who was four years younger, came from behind and was regarded as a young man.  The military example steals the chief.

    So Okamoto has been holding back his energy in the nine years since graduation. In fact, he was promoted from major to lieutenant colonel at the end of 1917 before Furushu, but he still held the position of captain. The 39-year-old army lieutenant colonelIt seems that the progress is not too small. In Wang Geng's previous life, the age when he was promoted to major general was one year younger than Guzhuang.

    The "flanking" tactic when dividing the troops at noon was first proposed by Renichiro Okamoto. At that time, several Japanese brigade captains were shocked when they heard this. Compared with the more serious attitude of Major Furushu, it was obvious that Oka of the 57th Infantry Battalion  Lieutenant Colonel Ben is more motivated. In fact, it is not unusual for Okamoto to be promoted to Lieutenant Colonel at the age of 39. Furushuo is only 36 years old at this time, and it is very likely that he will be promoted to Lieutenant Colonel after the end of the Ukrainian campaign. After all, Furushuo has been in the position of Major for 3 years.  More than anything else, the reason why Oka could have been promoted to lieutenant colonel early was because he was 4 years older than Furuzhuo.

    "Flanking? Tell us about your specific strategy. The enemy facing your 19th Infantry Regiment is the 4th Ukrainian Infantry Division, which has the best preserved strength. How does your brigade plan to make a bypass? The width and strength of the enemy's position on the opposite side are completely clear.  "Really?" The words of Brigade Chief of Staff Takagi still echoed in Lieutenant Colonel Okamoto's ears.

    Okamoto still remembers that the brigade commander Muto's eyes glanced back and forth between Furushuo and Okamoto. Of course, the brigade commander knew that Furushuo and Okamoto, the happy enemies of the 21st period of the mainland, had a messy past that they couldn't clean up.  In fact, Furuzou is the person that Utsunomiya Taro is optimistic about, and Okamoto Lieutenant Colonel Okamoto is the person that the brigade commander Muto admires. Although the generals of the 23rd Infantry Brigade in the future are all the emperors created by Utsunomiya Taro.  The backbone of the faction, but no one knows it at the moment.
