Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    For 2 minutes, there was silence in the tent. Captain Muto's eyes swept over everyone's face but he could not get the response he expected. The three infantry captains, Tamon Jiro, Kashii Kohei, and Furushu Mikiro, kept their heads in silence.  Angry, the two artillery battalion captains Okabe Naosaburo and Obata Toshishiro tried their best to push their chests high But it didn't work. The two artillery battalion captains are now bare commanders, and the only two artillery battalions left  The artillery was still in the temporary artillery detachment commanded by Captain Jun Imamura to the north to relieve the Okamoto Brigade

    "Why are you all mute We have worked so hard to get to the south of Kharkov. Are we here to watch the fun?!" Major General Muto's face was quite hesitant. Although he knew the difficulties faced by the troops, he actually  None of these subordinates could come forward  

    "Your Majesty the Brigade Commander With all due respect, I am afraid that in the battle plan of the former enemy headquarters, occupying the Lopan River Bridge to cut off the opponent's retreat was just to cooperate with Colonel Lu's roundabout 2nd echelon to annihilate the smoke of three Ukrainian infantry divisions  To destroy the bridge, the heavy bombers dispatched by the Allied Air Force failed to blow up the bridge We don't need our ground attack to complete this goal and mission" Colonel Yonezawa of the 4th Cavalry Regiment scratched his head and finally spoke.  .

    It is not a wise decision to use cavalry to attack the opponent's established fortresses and bridgehead positions. Colonel Yonezawa believed that his regiment had done its best in the west and south of Kharkov, not to mention that Yamashita Tomofumi also traveled a long distance.  After occupying Borodukshiv, the Yonezawa Cavalry Regiment had an explanation for its mission of outflanking and harassing the Einsatzgruppe. The combat effectiveness of the German army, which had experienced four years of European war, should not be underestimated. If the Yonezawa Regiment had not deployed a large number of  If the Chinese-made M60 and M81 mortars are not supported by the Browning squad with machine guns, it is still doubtful whether they can achieve a battle loss ratio of 1:1 with the same force.  

    "I don't care what the former enemy headquarters thinks. Since we are required to join the southern line and cut off the enemy's retreat, then the Lopan River Bridge and the railway line are the targets of our attack We are exhausted from fighting for a day, and the Ukrainians defending the city are  There was no time to relax with the Germans The 139th German Infantry Regiment guarding Nancheng District suffered at least 700 or 800 casualties last night. Today's firefight with the Yonezawa United Force will not be so easy, and the casualties will definitely increase"

    Major General Muto showed the tough and headstrong side of this guy, and looked at the generals with even more eager eyes Several captains could not withstand the glare of their own brigade, and Major Furushu Mikiro took the lead in puffing up his chest.  He said coquettishly, "This brigade still has the strength to fightbutif the main force on the northern front gives up the attempt to directly capture the northern city of Kharkov, is it not worth the loss for us to try our best to attack and capture the Lopan River Bridge?"

    It is not accidental that Furusou Mikiro became the chief of the 21st period of the mainland, overwhelming Okamoto Renichiro. Furushu Mikiro is the eldest son of the army captain Furushu Mikiro from Kumamoto Prefecture.  On November 22, 1902, he graduated from the 14th Infantry Section of the Army Non-commissioned Officer School (second among 702 people). On June 26 of the following year, he was awarded the rank of infantry second lieutenant and was assigned to the 4th Guards Infantry Regiment. Participated in the Russo-Japanese War (suffering battle wounds)  . On December 3, 1909, he graduated from the 21st batch of the Army University School (chief among 55 people). He became a standard "excellent soldier" in the Japanese Army.

    The 36-year-old Major Furuzhuang has a good chance of being promoted to Lieutenant Colonel after the end of the first phase of the Ukrainian campaign. This will make this outstanding soldier who graduated from the 21st batch of chiefs of the mainland well deserved, although Nobuyoshi Muto has requirements for a rising star like the chief of the mainland.  Quite harsh, but if Major Furushuo really shows superior abilities, Muto Nobuyoshi, the chief of the 13th period of the mainland, will not let Zhen himself bear the bad reputation of being jealous of the wise and capable

    The structure of the 55th Infantry Brigade of Furushu Chiro is relatively complete. When facing off against the three main Ukrainian infantry divisions in the forest, the ones in front are the Domon Battalion and the Xiangzui Battalion. Kosho Chiro's brigade is used as a reserve by Muto Nobuyoshi, while  The Duomen Brigade has suffered casualties of half its squadron, and the Xiangzhui Brigade has suffered more casualties than one squadron. Only Guzhuang's brigade is basically fully staffed. This is why the other infantry battalion captains lower their heads and do not breathe, while Guzhuang Qian  The reason why Lang Shaozuo boldly answered the question.

    Of course, another reason is that the two infantry brigades of Domon and Kozui belong to Mizuno Taisuke's 7th Infantry Regiment, and Captain Mizuno was still leading Nakamura Kotaro outside the east gate of Kharkov at this time.  The Major's 19th Infantry Battalion blocked the Kharkov Bridge for the entire brigade The commander of the regiment is not here, so of course Domen and Xiangzui will not take the limelight and take the initiative to volunteer or make random statements

    Of course, the words of Major Guzhuang still made Domon and Xiangzui secretly shout out. When the brigade commander, Major General Muto, was somber that he could explode at any time, the subordinates who dared to stand up and express their opinions could be regarded as replacing those who did not dare to easily  Zhisheng's colleagues came to the rescue

    Of course, Furusou Chiroro did not agree with trying to fight another battle before dark. Just now, Chief of Staff Takagi and Colonel Yonezawa of the Cavalry Regiment had already captured the city of Kharkov.We have laid out the strength and deployment of both the enemy and ourselves. The enemy guarding the southern part of the city is the 139th German Infantry Regiment. This German infantry regiment beat up the Kikuchi Brigade and the 6th Infantry Regiment yesterday.  Those who arrived at the Uda River soon were said to be the main force of the Muto Brigade, but in fact they were only three Japanese infantry brigades that were not full. Even if Li Shang's Chinese Armored 3rd Battalion came to help, the Kikuchi Brigade was different last night.  Backed by the Chinese 2nd Armored Battalion commanded by Colonel Ren?

    There are only 8 105mm howitzers that Major Wu Keren temporarily put together. Just now, Colonel Yonezawa said that a German armored train has 8 105mm howitzers. In addition, there are 2 150mm heavy artillery. In terms of artillery firepower,  The main force of the Muto Brigade and the Yonezawa United Team on the Uda River have no advantage at all Without the support of the aviation team, there is really no way to say that this battle can be easily won. The thoughts of Major Furuzhuang are also the thoughts of most of the Chinese people here.  The general¡¯s thoughts¡­

    "Commander of the brigade, in terms of troops and firepower, we have no advantage over the German-Ukrainian forces in the south of the city, and since Colonel Lu Huanyan's second-echelon task is not to simply reinforce our unit, but to eat three Ukrainians in the east of the forest.  Infantry Division, I think the former enemy headquarters and Lieutenant General Otani do not intend to launch a general attack on Kharkov tonight. The troops are exhausted after fighting for a day and marching long distances. Even if we can capture the Lopan River Bridge The Northern Front  The main force does not have enough troops to launch a general attack on Kharkov Should we stay in place to deter the enemies in Kharkov and wait until the situation becomes clear tomorrow before taking action?
