    In fact, the Sakai family themselves were descendants of farmers earlier, but the Sakai family had the title of village chief two generations ago, so they just looked down on the Matsui family. What's more, Lieutenant Matsui was always arrogant and rushed to replace Major Takekawa before his own brigade was attached.  Think of a way

    After Matsui and Hayi nodded and led a logistics team back to the north to collect the wounded, Captain Sakai asked tentatively, "Kenchuan-kun, should we pursue eastward or southward?"

    But Captain Jianchuan shook his head and said, "Captain Sakai, as the saying goes, don't chase the enemy when you are in trouble. You heard the rumbling artillery in the southwest just now. I guess it is the artillery reinforcements from the brigade coming up to relieve the Okamoto Brigade We are not going to pursue it.  There are Ukrainians. We sent a small team to relieve Lieutenant Colonel Okamoto In addition, the main force stayed to guard this road. I guess the second echelon of reinforcements has also arrived Anyway, the order given to us by Captain Muto is  Move closer to the south and control the road in the forest, right?"

    "High! It's really high! It's true that we should not chase the enemy. We can't go deep alone. Who knows whether the two Ukrainian divisions in the south and the 3rd Ukrainian Division that escaped just now will join forces and counterattack. We should hold on to this road and prepare to respond.  The arrival of the second echelon is the best strategy!" Sakai sent a series of high hats up, feeling relieved in his heart, as long as he didn't chase, if he chased with such a bluff, he would be the second enemy.  The fate of this team

    "Send a messenger to ride west along the road and try to get in touch with the main force of the second echelon. Our radio station is damaged. Otherwise, we can report good news to the brigade headquarters and the commander of the Dating Division now. Our brigade has defeated Ukraine.  The 3rd Infantry Division has occupied the key point of the forest road and is in urgent need of reinforcements and advance by the second echelon!" Major Major Takekawa Miji smacked his mouth with a look of regret on his face. When this commander was running at full speed to pursue the Ukrainian 3rd Division,  It's very similar to the attitude of the captain who stood up during the Russo-Japanese War.  Welcome to reading

    Miji Takekawa's choice was obviously wise. There were less than 900 combatable troops left in his brigade, including nearly 200 lightly wounded. Whether he was chasing the 3rd Ukrainian Division to the east or heading south to meet the 2nd Ukrainian Division,  The 4th Division and the 4th Division were both overestimating their capabilities. Fortunately, although Major Jianchuan was so tired that he could hardly stand up, his mind was still clear. After resting for ten minutes, the 57th Infantry Battalion began to set up temporary positions and at the same time sent the brigade  Captain Fu Sakai led a small team of troops to search southwest

    It would be great if there was a radio. An infantry brigade repelled a Ukrainian main division and reached the designated position of the brigade. This honor coupled with the opportunity to rescue the remaining members of the Okamoto brigade before the main force of the second echelon, Takekawa Major was promoted to  Will the day of Lieutenant Colonel come?

    July 31, 1918 16:45 About seven kilometers southeast of Kharkov, the headquarters of the Japanese 3rd Division Muto Brigade

    The main force of Japan's 3rd Division's detoured east route, the Muto Brigade, finally joined forces with the 4th Yonezawa Cavalry Regiment, which broke through the encirclement and crossed to the south of the railway line. The Yonezawa Cavalry Regiment only had two and a half brigades left, and  The men and horses were exhausted and almost lost the ability to fight further. The most terrible thing was that the Yonezawa Cavalry Regiment was unable to break through the German railway bridge position on the Lopan River. Therefore, the two sides said they were joining forces, but there was a wide and surging Lopan River in the middle.  Panhe

    The Lopan River originates from the Belgorod Oblast in Russia, flows through the border between the Volga Federation and Ukraine, enters the Kharkov Oblast in Ukraine, and finally joins the Uda River (Yudi River, Kharkov River) in Kharkov.  The total length of the river is 93 kilometers, with a drainage area of ??2,000 square kilometers. Its tributaries include the Kharkiv River and the Yudi River, a tributary of the North Donets River. The majestic fortress city of Kharkiv stands on the north bank of the junction of the three rivers.  In fact, the Yudi River first joins the Lopan River in the west of Kharkov, and the Kharkov River joins the Lopan River in the southeast of Kharkov

    In fact, the real name of the Lopan River after passing through Kharkiv from northwest to southeast is the Uda River. It flows mightily to the southeast, and finally merges into the North Donets River. The Uda River originates from Ber, Russia.  Gorod Oblast, flows through Kharkiv Oblast in Ukraine, and finally flows into the Northern Donets River at Chuguyev. The river has a total length of 164 kilometers and a drainage area of ??3,890 square kilometers. It is in Kharkiv, the second largest city in Ukraine.  It joins the Lopan River.

    The Yonezawa Cavalry Regiment broke through to the other side of the Uda River. Across the river from the main force of the Muto Brigade were the 4th Cavalry Regiment, three squadrons of the 10th Cavalry Brigade commanded by Major Sadagu Iida, and Major Hisao Nishio.  The 2 squadrons of the 11th Cavalry Battalion and the 3 squadrons of the 12th Cavalry Battalion of Major Kuniaki Oiso, there are only 8 cavalry squadrons left after all calculations. The remaining cavalry artillery brigade is under the command of Major Shimizu Yishige, and  The previous engineer baggage squadron and the lightly and seriously wounded evacuated to the northwest.

    The reconnaissance cavalry squadron directly under the wing suffered almost all casualties in the process of breaking through the railway line, and the Nishio Brigade also lost half of its squadron again. Major Kuniaki Oiso's 12th Cavalry Battalion was taken away by Yamashita Tomomi.  Shiman's cavalry45 Squadron, and the cavalry squadron of Iida Sada was left to guard the occupied town of Porodukshiv, 45 kilometers northwest of Kharkov.

    Colonel Yonezawa Kogoro was able to bring the main force of the regiment to the east, which can be said to have gone to great lengths. He knew the casualties and the price he had paid. What everyone in the 4th Cavalry Regiment regretted most was not the second time they rushed across the railway line.  The loss was caused by the fact that Captain Yamashita of the regiment led Ushijima full of elite cavalry squadrons as bait, which was obviously more dangerousCaptain Yamashita was a talent favored by General Utsunomiya Taro, and he was placed in the 4th Cavalry Regiment to survive.  Those with first-line qualifications, otherwise they will be sent to the division headquarters or even the 3rd Army Headquarters. In the future, they will become the second model of Major General Hata Shunroku

    After the Yonezawa United Team worked hard and sweated hard to reach the south bank of the Uda River and established contact with the Muto Brigade, the two sides found that they were in a situation where they were facing each other across the river and could not communicate. Of course, they could build a pontoon bridge on the Uda River.  , but this cannot be erected with just a little effort before evening. The important thing is that the engineer squadron of the Yonezawa Cavalry Regiment followed the baggage team and did not cross the railway line here at all, while the baggage and engineer brigade of the Muto Brigade  It is still in the third echelon behind the forest to the north.

    The lower reaches of the Uda River after the confluence of three rivers south of Kharkiv are more than 300 meters wide, and the river banks are high and the water flows quickly. It is more difficult to build a bridge here than the Lopan River in the west of Kharkiv or the Lopan River in the east.  The Kharkov River is much larger, and the river becomes wider as you go downstream In fact, there is a ferry ten kilometers downstream of the Uda River, but there is only one ferry boat, and it has long been cleared by the German-Ukrainian forces.  I don¡¯t know where it was dragged
