Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The 139th Reserve Infantry Regiment is the ace main regiment of the German 47th Division, so the configuration of commanders at all levels is high-quality. For example, the regiment commander Diko Meier was promoted to colonel in 1916, and the regiment chief of staff Diko Sauer was promoted to colonel in 1916.  He was promoted to lieutenant colonel at the beginning of 1918 If the division commander Sven von Neuhaus had not followed Ludendorff's path, Colonel Dickmeier would have been the most promising candidate to take over as the division commander of the 47th Reserve Infantry Division.

    "Kevin come, have two snacks the black br?l¨¦e cake that my cook just baked it is expected that the Japanese will open fire Don't be in such a hurry, just call the armored detachment to help us, Master  The Ministry has repeatedly told us that before the main reinforcements of the division come up, our task is not only to defend the Lopan River Bridge and the Nancheng District position, but also not to scare away the Muto Brigade" Colonel von Diekomyer held up the steaming steamer  He took a sip of coffee and said to his deputy with a smile.  

    "But Dennis, Japan's Nobuyoshi Muto not only started shelling the Lopan River bridgehead, but also observed the appearance of coalition armored troops on the riverbank road less than 3 kilometers north of the Uda River, at least the size of a battalion  They are obviously heading towards our bridgehead position The Chinese armored vehicles cannot be stopped by the mg08 machine gun alone, and the 7.6cm infantry mortar may not be able to stop the opponent unless it hits directly"

    The regiment's chief of staff, Kevin von Dixol, was obviously a little uneasy. The 139th Infantry Regiment first won and then lost when they counterattacked the Kikuchi Brigade in the north of the city last night. Nearly 300 people were killed and nearly 500 were lightly or seriously injured under the bombardment of the enemy's heavy artillery.  Man, this is definitely not a small loss for the 139th Infantry Regiment, which has a total strength of only about 2,500 people Although supplementary soldiers have been sent to each battalion, the impact of the loss of combat backbones on the combat effectiveness of the army cannot be ignored.  ¡­¡­

    Of course, in this afternoon's battle, the 139th Infantry Regiment repelled the Japanese cavalry unit that detoured to the southwest and tried to attack the bridge from the south bank of the Lopan River without much effort or casualties. This made the new 139th Infantry Regiment  The morale of the newly added reinforcements has been restored and improved, while the sadness of the veterans has also been relieved

    The problem is that after two consecutive days of fierce fighting, the German-Ukrainian forces in Kharkiv lost almost all their long-range artillery. Now the troops are like a tiger with its teeth pulled out, with only machine guns and mortars left to defend it.  Nancheng District and the Lopan River Bridge position At this time, the armored train detachment directly under the group army maneuvering on the opposite bank of the railway line became the only long-range firepower that the defenders could rely on.

    Of course, since the 1st Armored Train Detachment is directly affiliated with the 10th Army Headquarters in Kiev, this means that the 29th Reserve Infantry Corps and the 47th Infantry Division under the 29th Army can only be used as the Kharkov-German-Ukrainian Coalition Forces.  The armored train detachment was mobilized and used in the name of the headquarters, and Colonel von Diekermeier was just the commander of the 139th Infantry Regiment under the 47th Infantry Division. He did not have the authority to directly command and use the armored trains on the other side

    If you really want to make a call, you have to authorize and issue orders through the division commander Sven von Neuhaus of the German-Ukrainian frontline headquarters in the old city of Kharkiv

    Of course, Colonel Dikomeier believed that the focus of the coalition's offensive had shifted from the northern front to the eastern and southeastern directions, and Major General von Neuhaus, the acting former enemy commander and division commander of the German-Ukrainian Allied Forces' former enemy headquarters, would never miss it.  Taking advantage of the opportunity to counterattack on the southern front, the 140th Infantry Regiment had boarded a troop transport train from Yekaterinoslav at the camp near Krasnorad 40 minutes ago, and would reach Los Angeles in another 20 minutes.  Across the Pan River

    The 141st Infantry Regiment will follow closelyThe southern counterattack, with the two infantry regiments of the 47th German Reserve Infantry Division as the main force, is about to be launched, and the division commander, Major General von Neuhaus, will not miss personally commanding the counterattack under any circumstances.  Opportunity to fight, so the commander of the 139th Infantry Regiment, Colonel Dennis von Diekermeier, would never take the risk of alerting the enemy and rush to counterattack with artillery fire before the division commander rushed over to take command of the overall situation.  matter.

    "Kevin, my chief of staff, the armored vehicles of the coalition forcesare just trucks with steel plates welded on them. They are not tracked tanks like those of the British on the Western Front. There is basically no chance of passing through the anti-tank trenches in our forward positions, and  Let the other party come over, and we may be able to teach the other party a hard lesson after entering the mortar range Moreover, the 140th Regiment can reach the bridgehead as soon as 17:30, followed closely by the 141st Regiment, the division commander  Three 105mm howitzer battalions were also mobilized for this counterattack I am afraid that the Muto brigade will not come, not that they will come This credit cannot be given to the guys of the Iron Armor Detachment who have high ambitions and low abilities!"

    The words of the regiment leader, Colonel von Diekermeier, made the chief of staff, von Diekerthal, thoughtful. Apparently, the colonel was further ahead than he thought In fact, it was the helper who had been unable to calm down before.  The troops of the 6th Regiment of the 3rd Brigade of the 2nd Division of Ukrainian Volunteers southeast of Kharkov New Town This infantry regiment is responsible for guarding a defense line of about 3 kilometers on the left bank of the Kharkov River. In fact, the Muto Brigade will not be forced to cross unless  Kharkov River, otherwise it would not threaten the aspirations on the other side.??The position of the 6th Regiment of the 3rd Brigade, but these Ukrainians panicked when they saw a Chinese armored battalion rumbling up from the north bank of the Uda River through the telescope as soon as the gunfire rang out, and emergency phone calls came one after another.  As the Germans fired artillery to intercept

    Kharkiv is located in northeastern Ukraine and was historically the main city of the Slobozhanshchyna (slobozhanshchyna or slobidshchyna) district.  The city is located at the confluence of three rivers, Kharkiv, Lopan and Udy.

    The urban area of ??Kharkiv is divided into the Old Town Fortress of Kharkiv in the north and the New Town of Kharkiv in the south. The Lopan River rushes from the west of the city, and the North Donets winding from the northwest.  The Uda River, a tributary of the river, first gathers in the west of the city and then flows eastward along the south side of the new city, while the Kharkiv River in the northeast of Kharkiv comes from north to south, along the edge of the east city of Kharkiv, all the way to  The south of Kharkiv and the Lopan River converge to form a new Uda River that flows southeast

    The Uda River finally re-enters the Northern Donets River at Chuguyev, with a total length of 164 kilometers and a drainage area of ??3,890 square kilometers

    Kharkiv New Town is where the southern part of Kharkiv is located. The core location is the railway station and barracks in the southern suburbs of Kharkiv. The Lopan River Bridge across the confluence of the Lopan River and the Kharkiv River is the center of Kharkiv.  The gateway to the south of the city In fact, this bridge is located at the "human" position at the intersection of the two rivers. The Muto Brigade is currently located on the right bank of the Kharkov River and at the same time on the north bank of the Uda River in the south, which means  If the Muto brigade wants to attack the southern city of Kharkov, they must either forcefully cross the Kharkov River again or take down the Lopan River Bridge. The same is true if they want to cross the Uda River to the south
