    Although the Ukrainian position did not collapse due to the huge disparity in strength, Koval was unable to muster up the energy to eat up the Japanese infantry brigade in front of him. This is why this guy sent a telegram asking the 2nd Infantry Division to move north.  Reinforcement of the 3rd Division was in line with the reason why he would eat up the opponent's infantry brigade, but Michalik of the 2nd Division paid no attention to it at all. He only said that his division was moving closer to the 4th Division according to the orders of the former enemy headquarters and was ready to cooperate with the Germans on the southern front.  The main force counterattacked and then broke camp and left.  Visit to download txt novel

    As a result of Michalik's 2nd Division turning around and heading south, Koval's 3rd Division left a large gap, which meant that the 3rd Division was hanging alone to the north of the forest road. Although the road was now blocked, the ghost  Knowing whether the coalition armored forces were coming back to clear the roadblocks and outflank the 3rd Division's retreat, Koval ordered the 3rd Division to move southward one by one and began to move southward. The problem was that the Japanese brigade in front of them was clinging to them like maggots attached to their bones.  Don¡¯t let go¡­¡­

    This made Koval's 3rd Division exhausted, and the troops at the rear also continued to suffer casualties There were only a thousand people left in the Japanese brigade. Although the medicine was not sufficient, the 38-meter cold guns were still quite accurate.  Koval's main force, the 6th Regiment, which was more than two and a half times more powerful than others, failed to repel the attack by himself in the past. Instead, he paid hundreds of lives, all of which were shot in the head and vital points by the opponent's sharpshooters!  There are more wounded!

    During this whole day of fighting, the 3rd Ukrainian Infantry Division suffered close to 2,500 casualties, of which nearly a thousand were killed and more than 1,500 were injured. Although the casualties of the Japanese troops were not small, at most they were only themselves.  Less than half of the total, this was the result of the coalition air force not coming out to disrupt the situation, and the opponent's artillery was attracted by the artillery of the Ukrainian 4th Division

    "Chief of Staff, you are right. I think this old fox, Mihalik, retreated like this because he smelled something dangerous. He said that he was going south to join the main force and prepare to counterattack the Muto brigade. I think they are worried about reinforcements from the main force of the coalition's northern front.  It¡¯s better to make our dumplings. Otherwise, why are there so many artillery fires from the southwest? The artillery of our division and the 2nd Division has long been gone, and nearly half of Yarmolenko¡¯s artillery has been killed. This can only be caused by the coalition forces.  The artillery of the reinforcements is firing at us We can't wait any longer, send my order, the whole division retreats south"

    Koval frowned. Just now, he had planned to turn around and use three regiments to eat up the entangled infantry brigade of the opponent. However, he heard a thunderous rumble of artillery coming from the southwest. It sounded like  It came from the direction of Yarmolenko's 4th Division, so now that the Chief of Staff said this, this guy also felt a white sweat on his back. It would be dangerous if this battle continued like this. The 2nd and 4th  The divisions have all withdrawn, and I can no longer afford to be a fool on the northern front and be taken advantage of!

    "Division Commander I think we can't withdraw directly to the south. That would be equivalent to being a human shield and rear guard for the 2nd and 4th Divisions. Let's return to the main road and go east along the forest road This way we can be surprised.  " Division Chief of Staff Shesi Shevayevich Nazarenko rolled his eyes and came up with an idea.

    "To the east? Petliura asked our main force to concentrate and move closer to the south, preparing to cooperate with the main force of the German army to divert the main force of the Mutoh Brigade going south. We don't want to go south to chase the 2nd and 4th Divisions? Chief of Staff Is this okay?  ?" Koval asked, squinting at his chief of staff suspiciously.

    "Division commander tell the truth, if it weren't for the cover of this big forest if the coalition air force appeared above us, would we be able to withstand the attack of the main force of the coalition? That German major general can only talk on paper, what about the southern front?  If the Muto Brigade is counterattacked, won't the coalition command bring reinforcements from the northern front? Once the opponent's main force from the northern front comes to reinforce, our division will become the human shield and shield of the entire army. It is not a good thing to bear the brunt"

    The chief of staff of the division has obviously thought carefully about it for a long time. In the opinion of Shesi Shevayevich Nazarenko, the chief of staff of the 3rd Division, the combat effectiveness of a regiment of the Ukrainian National Army may not be better than that of an infantryman of Japan.  The brigade is strong, but it will definitely not be able to withstand two Japanese infantry brigade. If the opponent comes up with a regiment, the entire 3rd Division may not be able to withstand it. If the opponent is cooperating with Chinese armored forces, this battle will not be profitable.  , not to mention that the air supremacy in the sky still belongs to the coalition forces. The 3rd Division is still fighting without suffering intensive air attacks from the opponent. Once the coalition aircraft are called in, the battle may collapse before it is fought

    "Division Commander Preserving strength is more important than anything else. Let's go east, so that we can at least get rid of the entanglement of the Japanese infantry brigade behind us. Of course, before withdrawing, we will concentrate all our machine guns and mortars to knock the enemy hard, and then go south.  A feint shot followed by heading east Haven't the remnants of the 1st Infantry Division already withdrawn to the east? Let's go and join them We will decide the next step after the coalition forces and the Germans fight to determine the outcome.  , the radio can keep the line silent, saving the enemy headquarters in Kharkov from gesticulating all day long!¡±

    Nazarenko¡¯s words moved the division commander Koval.The servant stretched out his hand and patted his chief of staff on the shoulder and said, "Chief of Staff, what you said makes sense. We cannot be led around by the former enemy headquarters in Kharkov I have decided to go east.  But first we have to turn around and scare the Japanese infantry brigade that is chasing us Then we will feint a shot, and when the situation in the west becomes clear, we will fight back with the 1st Infantry Division Let me tell you Milev  Ski¡¯s 1st Division designation should be cancelled. What if we eat the rest? Hahahaha."

    The matter was settled like this. The Ukrainian 3rd Infantry Division concentrated its firepower and mortar counterattack, which really frightened the Jianchuan Battalion following behind. By the time the 57th Infantry Battalion commanded by Major Mitsuji Jianchuan came to their senses,  After stabilizing our position and returning, we found no signs of the 3rd Infantry Division turning east to retreat. Instead, we followed the retreat traces left by the 2nd Infantry Division all the way south

    July 31, 1918, 16:45, Kharkiv Forest, Jianchuan Brigade, 19th Infantry Regiment, Mutoh Brigade

    "Jianchuan-kun should you stop and rest for a while If you keep chasing like this, the strength of the imperial warriors will be exhausted The casualties of the troops are not small, and the wounded can't keep up" The panting 57th Infantry Battalion  The brigade attached to catch up with his brigade captain, Major Jianchuan, suggested.

    "Well pass my order, the troops will rest for ten minutes, pay attention to vigilance and concealment! Count the medicine and number of people"
