    "Commander Although the order from the division headquarters is simple, the Muto Brigade and the Yonezawa Cavalry Regiment are not idiots. The other party is interspersed to the southeast of Kharkov. They must be well prepared The former enemy command in Kharkov  "Ministry, how do you judge the combat intentions of this coalition?" Major Bock, chief of staff of the regiment, raised his chin and stared at the map while frowning.

    "Division headquartersoh, no, the enemy situation report from the former enemy headquarters in Kharkov is that the two divisions of Kharkov volunteers are struggling to maintain the Kharkov defense line, and the trench-type ring defense line outside the north city has been  It was lost, but the concave anti-slope city wall firepower point combined with the core position of the Kharkiv Railway Station played a defensive role in the Wengcheng. The attacking Japanese army was repulsed three times, and the losses before and after were estimated to be close to the strength of a brigade Now the Japanese army of the coalition  The current heavy artillery regiment is still bombarding the core position of Kharkiv Railway Station and the North and Middle City areas with heavy artillery, but it is already at the end of its efforts"

    Captain Albert Catherine, the lieutenant colonel's personal adjutant, was pointing at the map while marking on the map the enemy information reports that the regiment chief of staff had missed one by one. Although this guy was the personal adjutant of Lieutenant Colonel von Blomberg,  But he also serves as the chief of the regiment's operations section. In other words, Captain Kathleen's other immediate boss is the regiment's chief of staff, Major von Bock.

    "I didn't expect that the Kharkov Volunteer Division was so tough. Simon Petliura's trash can actually survive two days and one night Our division commander estimates that there will be a lot more white hair on the head in the past two days.  Uh" Major von Bock curled his lips and said.

    "The 139th Infantry Regiment also fought quite well. Although there were heavy casualties in the counterattack last night, today the 139th Infantry Regiment continuously repelled 3 Japanese Yonezawa Cavalry Regiment on the defense line in the southern part of Kharkov.  This attack The 1st Armored Train Detachment also showed great prestige, and even shot down and damaged one coalition fighter plane. Unfortunately, the array set up by Lieutenant Colonel von Rundstedt failed to trap Japan.  Only then did the Ze United Team take advantage of the opportunity to break through the railway line and rush to the southeast of Kharkov. I heard that they had already joined up with the leading troops of the Muto Brigade! "

    Captain Catherine played the role of the regimental operations section chief very well. If Major von Bock is the regiment chief of staff, then the regimental commander's personal adjutant and operations section chief is the No. 1 staff officer and adjutant.  1.

    "The three main divisions of the Ukrainian National Army in the forest are still standing still? If they have half the combat effectiveness of our German army, the Muto brigade will not be able to penetrate into the southeast of Kharkov. This group of Ukrainian generals who are guerrillas  Still lack the courage to win" Major von Bock said with a slight frown.

    "Fedor, the Ukrainian troops in the forest are facing the three infantry brigades left by the Muto brigade Of course, due to the lack of artillery support, and the fear of being beaten by the Japanese in the forest yesterday this time  It is obviously not possible to expect the three divisions of the Ukrainian National Army to be of much help. The former enemy headquarters of the German-Ukrainian Allied Forces has ordered the 3rd, 4th and 2nd Ukrainian Infantry Divisions to move closer to the southern front" Regiment Commander Von Blough  Mburg pondered.

    "Commander, are there any new trends in the main force of the Northern Front Allied Forces? Are they going to finish the heavy artillery bombardment and continue to fight for the core position in Beicheng District?" Chief of Staff Major Feng Bock asked.

    "If there are no reinforcements, I think the main force of the Northern Front Allied Forces is no longer able to continue the attack The casualties of the Kikuchi Brigade and the Federal Infantry Division are not light. The Japanese heavy artillery troops have been fighting all afternoon. At this time, it is estimated that the ammunition carriers have no ammunition.  They can't move Maybe they will stop and wait for reinforcements from the follow-up troops from Belgorod in the north before launching the attack again. They may fight at night, but it may not be very effective. People are not steel. They continued to attack for 2 days. 1  It¡¯s night, even if I¡¯m tired, I¡¯m so tired!¡±

    The commander of the 140th Infantry Regiment's judgment was optimistic but cautious. The Japanese 3rd Division on the opposite side might be a bunch of lunatics. The possibility of launching a meat bomb attack in the middle of the night was not non-existent. Of course, since the German-Ukrainian forces had lost air superiority  , there is not even a German reconnaissance plane over Eastern Ukraine at the moment. It is really difficult to find out the follow-up deployment of the Allied forces.

    "Your Excellency, Commander, I don't think we should be too optimistic. The main force of the Allied Powers attacking Ukraine is said to be the newly formed Southwest Front Army dominated by the Japanese 3rd Army. However, the enemy number currently appearing on the Kharkov defense line is only one Japanese division,  A federal infantry division and a Chinese armored regiment are by no means all of the opponent's forces. On the southeastern defense lines of Lugansk and Donetsk, there are already signs of large-scale gathering and mobilization of coalition forces across the border The opponent is  There are still at least two divisions of the main force of the Japanese army that have not entered the Ukrainian battlefield"

    Captain Catherine¡¯s task is to fill in the gaps. When his superior is optimistic, he must remain cautious. When his superior is pessimistic, he must actively look for optimistic factors.

    "Werner, according to the previous analysis and judgment of the former enemy headquarters of the German-Ukrainian coalition forces, the enemy's attackUkraine has at least two directions. The northern front has Kharkov as the main offensive target, and the southern front has Luhansk and Donetsk as the main targets. These are also the two divisions of the 31st Reserve Infantry Army and the Ukrainian National Army.  The main reason why the 2nd Army of the Army is deployed on the southern front for defense is that if this judgment and intelligence are accurate, then the reserve team in the hands of the Japanese general still has at least one Japanese A-type division!  "

    Major von Bock's brows tightened a bit. Now the Ukrainian battlefield has only started in Kharkov. The opponent has only invested 1 Japanese 3rd Division and 1 Federal Infantry Division 13th main force, plus a Chinese  As for the armored regiment, although the Chinese armored forces did not appear on the battlefield of the siege, the opportunities for the opponent to perform through detours and mobile defense were obviously indispensable.

    "Fedor, the situation is actually not optimistic. I agree with you. The back-up force of the Allied Powers may be much stronger than we expected. After the Volga Federation was announced, the other side reorganized eight armies in one go, and each army group  It is the establishment of three main infantry divisions. The 13th Federal Infantry Division that appeared in the north of Kharkiv belongs to the Voronei Army Group. The commander of the Army Group is Stepin, the former Soviet Red Army. This general was a former Tsarist Russian general and fought in the war.  Very slick If the Voronezh Army Group is assigned to Japan's 3rd Division to fight, then the other side will have at least two federal main infantry divisions that can be used"
