    The more Captain Catherine spoke, the brighter her eyes became. The guy pointed his finger at the area in the southeast corner of Kharkov City and said, "I think our 140th Infantry Regiment can draw up two combat plans. If we are sad to go north,  At that time, the Lopan River Bridge was still in our hands, so we moved the artillery across the river in one go and launched a battlefield in the southeast corner, while the infantry got off the bridge south of the bridge and pressed eastward along the river, just to hold the opponent's  The strength allows the former enemy headquarters to order the three main divisions of the Ukrainians in the forest to go eastward and block the three-way intersection, while the volunteer troops guarding the east city of Kharkov open the city gate and retake the Kharkov Bridge  ¡­¡±

    "Three-pronged approach? What if the main force of the Allied Powers in the north of the city crosses the river for reinforcements?" Feng Bock, the regiment chief of staff, set his sights on the north.

    "Don't worry about that Our artillery position in the southeast corner of the city will play a key role, and after the 141st and 139th Artillery Battalions come up, they can be deployed in the same position, and we will have a huge advantage in firepower.  , directly block the three-way intersectionto ensure that the enemy's reinforcements cannot come up and rush to the south!" Captain Catherine's eyes sparkled in the shade of the tree in front of the tent.

    Major Feng Bock looked at the captain who was trying to escape, then at his regimental commander, nodded and said, "The Chinese often say that a warrior will not win unless he seeks victory. If we go up with reinforcements, he will not win."  , Has the Lopan River Bridge been lost or blown up by enemy artillery fire or even the air force? "

    "It doesn't matter If this is the case, our artillery will deploy on the south bank of the Lopan River, and then cover the infantry to roll eastward along the river It's just that the division commander won't be able to personally command our regiment Otherwise, that's it.  Set up a wired telephone across the river, and if that doesn't work, we can only communicate via radio But then there will still be a question of who will command whom in the 141st Infantry Regiment" the regiment leader, Lieutenant Colonel von Blomberg, pondered.  

    "Whoever sets up the battle first will take the initiative. At that time, it will definitely be you, the regiment commander, who will command the two infantry regiments and artillery in Lopan Henan on behalf of the division Let's defeat the Muto Brigade and the Yonezawa Cavalry Regiment without saying anything else.  There is still hope These days, don't we have to rely on artillery and machine guns to fight? In this regard, we are much better than the brigades of the Japs' Class A divisions!" Captain Catherine's tone was full of confidence.

    The action plan of the 140th Infantry Regiment was initially decided. At the same time, the same scene was happening in the camp east of Krasnorad Forest. The commander of the 141st Reserve Infantry Regiment also received a message from the division headquarters.  Order, "The 141st Battalion of the 105 Light Field Howitzer is assigned to your regiment. The mission of the 141st Regiment is to board the troop transport train from Yekaterinoslav after the 140th Regiment and go north to the southeast corner of the southern city of Kharkiv.  , cooperate with von Blomberg's 140th Infantry Regiment to annihilate the main force of the Japanese Army's Muto Brigade and Yonezawa Cavalry Regiment!"

    The commander of the 141st Infantry Regiment of the 47th Reserve Infantry Division is Major Wilhelm von Lieb. Don't be surprised, this major is older than Lieutenant Colonel Werner von Blomberg, the commander of the 140th Infantry Regiment.  At the age of two, Major von Lieb was able to act as the commander of the 141st Infantry Regiment because he had an extra von in his name.

    Wilhelm von Lieb was born in Landsberg, Bavaria. He joined the Bavarian army in 1895 as an officer cadet.  After being promoted to artillery lieutenant, Richter was sent to China to suppress the Boxer Rebellion.  Later he entered the Bavarian War Academy in Munich (1907-1909) and the General Staff in Berlin (1909-1911).  After being promoted to captain, Richter served as battery commander of the 10th Bavarian Field Artillery in Erlangen (1912-1913).

    At the outbreak of World War I, Lieb served on the staff of the 1st Bavarian Army and then served in the 11th Bavarian Infantry Division.  Later promoted to major, in the summer of 1916, Lieb was sent to the Eastern Front.  The following year he was appointed to the staff of Crown Prince Ruprecht of Bavaria.

    On May 29, 1916, for his military exploits on May 2, 1915, Rieb received the Max Joseph Military Knight Medal.  This is the equivalent of the Prussian Order of the Blue Max in Bavaria. Instead of obtaining it, Rieb entered the ranks of the nobility: on June 21, 1916, he received the title of nobility. His name was changed by adding "Ritter" and the German noble particle "von".  Change.

    This medal and his entry into the ranks of the nobility brought von Lieb under the radar of Crown Prince Ruprecht of Bavaria, and he served as a staff officer to the Crown Prince. Later, he was recommended by the Crown Prince to the German Army in Ukraine under General Wilhelm Greiner.  He served at the headquarters of the 10th Army, and then was recommended by the general to the reserve infantry 29th Army headquarters of General Hermann von Francois, and then was sent to the reserve command of Major General Sven von Neuhaus.  47th Infantry Division.

    Major Wilhelm von Lieb can act as a major to command a German standard reserve infantry regiment. This temptation is far greater than that of him serving as a staff officer at the division headquarters In fact, the performance of this major's acting regiment commander is outstanding,  Has become the next batch of officer promotion list of the 10th Army.One of the selected candidates, although Major von Lieb was still depressed that von Blomberg, who was 2 years younger than himself, was promoted to Army Lieutenant Colonel earlier than him, which also made von Blomburg  The word "acting" in front of the commander of the 140th Infantry Regiment, the acting commander before the major, was legitimately removed.

    Speaking of von Lieb¡¯s nobleman, the Crown Prince of Bavaria, Rupprecht (rupprecht, May 18ri, 1869-August 2ri, 1955), whose full name was Rupprecht Maria Liutpod Fei  Dinan (rupprechtmarialuitpoldferdinand), Crown Prince of Bavaria, was the head of the Bavarian royal family after 1921, known as the Duke of Bavaria, Franconia and Swabia, and the Count of the Rhine Palace (herzog von bayern, frankenundinschwaben, pfalzgrafbeirhein).  At the same time, he was also the heir to the British throne supported by most Jacobites, and was called King Robert I of England and King Robert IV of Scotland by the Jacobites.

    Ruprecht was the eldest son of Ludwig III, the last king of Bavaria, and Maria Theresa, Princess of Modena and Jacobite heir to the British throne.  Born in Munich in 1869.  In 1900, Ruprecht married Maria Gabriella, the daughter of Duke Carl Theodor of Bavaria (niece of Princess Sissi). Maria Gabriella died in 1912.
