Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    An hour later, the sweaty and exhausted Captain Yamashita Fengfumi and the 45th Ushijima Manchu Cavalry Squadron commanded by him were finally driven into the encirclement Not far to the south is the railway bridge over the Krasnorad River, 2 kilometers to the east.  Not far behind was Rommel's similarly panting German Motorized 1st Company, which was deployed along the railway line. The three companies commanded by Captain von Manstein crossed the railway line and blocked Yamashita Fengbun from east to west.  The passage for the cavalry to break out to the north

    The most terrible thing is that in order to protect the counterattack of the main force of the 47th German Reserve Infantry Division, the armored train of the 1st Detachment of the 1st Armored Detachment was already waiting on the north of the railway bridge while the 2nd Armored Train commanded by Lieutenant Colonel von Rundstedt fell.  Unable to rush back, the main force of the Yonezawa Cavalry Regiment broke through the weakly defended crossroads in the north and rolled eastward. Lieutenant Colonel von Rundstedt's armored train turned back from the Lopan River in Kharkov a step too late.  Only one squadron of Japanese cavalrymen was captured at the rear of the Japanese cavalry. However, nearly 10 cavalry squadrons of the remaining main force of the Yonezawa regiment had already crossed the railway line and rushed eastwards over the mountains and plains

    Of course, Lieutenant Colonel von Rundstedt knew that he had made a miscalculation. The main force of the Japanese cavalry regiment was not led south by Rommel's infantry. Instead, he repeated his old trick and took advantage of the German troops at the crossroads to be mobilized and killed them in one go.  , broke through the German blockade of the railway line, crossed the railway and entered the hilly area to the east. The purpose was obviously to join the main force of the Muto Infantry Brigade that had detoured from the east road.  //fastest update//

    Under such circumstances, as the commander of the 2nd detachment of the 1st Armored Detachment, Lieutenant Colonel von Rundstedt would certainly not send the armored train as a heavy firepower fortress to the south to participate in Rommel's troops encircling and annihilating the opponent's cavalry brigade.  With the strength to lure the enemy, the imminent task of the 2nd detachment of the 1st detachment of the armored train is to cooperate with the 139th infantry regiment guarding the southern part of Kharkov to hold the defense line and defend the Lopan River bridge!

    Of course, the lieutenant colonel did not forget to send orders to Captain von Manstein and Captain Erwin Rommel on the banks of the Krasnorad River in the south to completely eliminate the Japanese cavalry unit that lured the enemy and ensure that Krasnora  Blockade and defense of the railway line between the bridges on the Delupan River!

    The mission of the two detachments of the 1st Armored Train Detachment has shifted from trying to kill the Japanese Yonezawa Cavalry Regiment to returning to their roots, protecting the railway lines and bridges, and ensuring that the main force of the German 47th Division's northward counterattack is unimpeded  ¡­

    Of course, Captain Erwin Rommel refused to let his prey escape. Through interrogation of the captured Japanese cavalry stragglers, the situation became very clear. The one trapped in the triangle was only a cavalryman attached to the Yonezawa Cavalry Regiment Yamashita Fengbun Regiment.  The squadron has lost dozens of people along the way, and it only has about 200 Japanese cavalry at full capacity. Of course, there are more than 500 war horses

    If Yamashita Fengfumi's cavalry had not been exhausted, the 45th Cavalry Squadron, which was originally sent south as a task to lure the enemy, would obviously not have stayed in this triangle area for too long. In fact, the German armored train that appeared at the other end of the railway bridge had been wiped out.  Yamashita Fengwen led a cavalry squadron to blast and destroy the bridge

    The cavalry brigade of Nishio Hisao almost killed the German armored train detachment at the north crossroads. No matter how brave and brave Captain Yamashita was, he would not lead Ushijima Mitsuru's squadron to attack the bridge with pebbles and rocks in order to  Use your gun to blow up the bridge

    The Japanese cavalrymen, who had run more than ten kilometers in a roundabout way, were dripping with sweat. They dismounted and rested on the banks of the Krasnorad River. Many of them ate dry food When a person is tired, it usually means he needs too much physical exertion.  Replenishing calories and food, Lieutenant Ushijima Mitsuru and Yamashita Tomofumi's temporary headquarters were in a forest by the river. The reconnaissance results from three directions have been summarized Several reconnaissance leaders were lost for this purposeGerman machine guns  Not a vegetarian

    "The situation is not good at the unit The German armored train has occupied the bridge on the other side of the Krasnorad River. Our reconnaissance cavalry has been discovered by the opponent. If the woods had not blocked the opponent's view, this would have been impossible.  We will be bombarded by the other side's heavy artillery soon" Before Lieutenant Ushijima Mitsuru of the 45th Cavalry Squadron finished speaking, rumbles of artillery came from the southeast, and several artillery shells whizzed past the woods and exploded on the river beach.  Water and wet mud splashed everywhere, but fortunately they did not directly hit the Japanese cavalry.

    The Krasnorad River, a tributary of the Lopan River, meanders from the northwest and makes two consecutive turns less than three kilometers from the bridge. While the water is deep and fast, it also makes the woods on the south bank of the undulating river  Blocking the view to the southeast The German armored train obviously couldn't really see what was going on here, and the blind bombardment was just a bluff in the hope of blasting out the hidden Japanese cavalry

    "Ushijima-kun, the current situation is indeed serious. I wanted to lead you to remove this railway bridge, but I didn't expect that the German armored train had already left and returned here from the south EastWhat's the situation near the route? Has the German motorized infantry company caught up?  "Yamashita Fengwen is not only sweating profusely, but also has a slovenly beard and a smoky face. He rode a horse for almost 100 kilometers today and changed horses four times. Even his iron-clad body is now a little sluggish.  Both sides of the inner thighs were frayed and bandaged.

    The image of Lieutenant Ushijima Mitsuru in front of him was no better than that of the Regiment Attach¨¦. He even had his helmet on his back instead of on his head. He was sweating profusely, too hot and tired.

    Ushijima Mitsuru was the third son of Lieutenant Ushijima Sanimitsu of the old Satsuma domain. He was born in Tokyo.  Graduated from the 20th Infantry Section of the Army Non-commissioned Officer School in 1908; ranked third.  He graduated from the 28th class of the Army University in 1916. He and Yamashita Tomofumi, attached to the 4th Cavalry Regiment in front of him, were classmates in the 28th class of the mainland university. However, Yamashita Fengfumi graduated with the second place in the saber group of the 28th class of the mainland university.  Mitsuru Ushijima, however, failed to make it into the top six and missed out on the Saber team.

    At this moment, the 33-year-old Yamashita Tomofumi is already a captain attached to the regiment, while the 31-year-old Ushijima is only a cavalry lieutenant. Lieutenant Mitsuru Ushijima is not a descendant of the old Ushijima family, but a son of the Ushijima family, and Ushijima  Lieutenant Sanimitsu's third son, this means that Lieutenant Ushijima is not the eldest son in the family who has the right to inherit the Ushijima family.
