Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Captain Fu Zuoqi, attached to the 3rd Armored Battalion, is the eldest brother of Fu Zuoyi, a Shanxi native who ranked first in the infantry exam of the 5th phase of Baoding Military Academy. At this time, Fu Zuoyi was interning at the training group of the Beijing Nanyuan War Army and became a company commander.  It is said that as soon as he graduates this year, he can be deployed to join the war and work as a major and battalion commander. Fu Zuoqi, who has only attended battalion school, is only a captain in the battalion at the moment.

    Fu Zuoyi's eldest brother, Fu Zuoqi, was born in 1893. He also graduated from Shanxi Army Primary School and Beijing Army Middle School. However, his grades in the 4th period of Baoding Military Academy were far less outstanding than those of Fu Zuoyi in the 6th period. Fortunately, he studied artillery.  Therefore, he was recruited into the armored regiment and trained carefully by regimental commander Lu Huanyan, who also had an artillery background, and was placed in the 3rd Armored Battalion as Li Shang's deputy.  

    "Battal Commander the Germans are much calmer than the Ukrainians. The remaining eight 105mm light howitzers in our artillery battalion have unleashed their firepower. They can fire almost four to five hundred rounds in this half hour, right?  There was not a single person in sight on the German position, and I didn¡¯t know what the effect of the artillery fire was It would be a bit risky for this 105mm cannon to destroy this indifferent Sancha Bridge on the Lopan River" Camp Annex  Fu Zuoqi was still nagging in Li Shang's ear.

    "Order the 3rd Company to speed up the attack and insert it from the left wing along the Wuda River. The 4th Company will follow up, notify the artillery positions behind, and concentrate fire on the bridgehead in the middle. I don't believe that the Germans can always be like this.  No gnawing!" Li Shangfang, commander of the 3rd Battalion, ordered with the telescope in his hand.

    Due to the casualties and losses suffered by the 1st and 2nd Armored Companies in the battle for the Kharkov Bridge at the east gate of Kharkov, as well as in the confrontation with the three divisions of the Ukrainian National Army on the east side of the forest, Lebanese  Shang transferred the 3rd Armored Company, which had previously served as a guard for Muto's brigade headquarters, and the 4th Armored Company, which had served as a guard for the baggage logistics, to lead the charge

    Li Shang's command position is on a slightly higher hillside, which is only 2,000 meters away from the German position at the Lopan River Bridge in the west, and the Kharkiv River in the north and the 2nd Ukrainian Volunteer Infantry Division on the opposite bank.  The position of the 6th Regiment of the 3rd Brigade is less than 2,000 meters.

    There is a slightly lower hill 100 meters to the right of Li Shang's command position, which is a temporarily deployed mortar position of the 3rd Armored Battalion.

    After the Battle of Ufa, the Chinese troops in the Allied Forces on the Eastern Front, an infantry company (145 people) were basically organized as follows:

    Company headquarters (7 people, 1 captain, 1 company commander, 1 lieutenant company attached, 5 people in a service communications squad.

    Each platoon (46 has a platoon headquarters (4 people, 1 lieutenant, 1 second lieutenant platoon leader, 1 second lieutenant platoon auxiliary, 2 service signal corpsmen, and 3 infantry squads;

    The 1st squad has 14 people, including 1 squad leader and 1 squad leader, 1 Browning machine gunner, 1 shooter and sniper, 2 snipers, 1 m1918a3 Browning 7.62 heavy machine gun, 1 shooter and 6 infantrymen.

    The 2nd squad has 14 people. The platoon's 60mm caliber mortar shooter and one 60mm caliber mortar shooter each replaced the platoon's heavy machine gun shooter. The rest are the same as the 1st squad.

    The 3rd squad has 14 people, including 1 squad leader and 1 squad leader, 1 Browning squad machine gunner, 1 gunner, and 2 marksmen, 2 snipers, and 8 infantrymen

    According to the regular establishment of the Chinese Armored Regiment, the armored company has one armored fighting vehicle and company headquarters squad, leaving three platoons, each with three wheeled armored fighting vehicles, each carrying an infantry squad of 10 people.  In addition, the fd17ii wheeled armored fighting vehicle crew consists of four members, one driver and one driver, and one driver and one shooter each for the M2 Browning large-caliber heavy machine gun mounted on the vehicle.  When dismounting for combat, the 10-man infantry squad carried is used as infantry.

    The vehicle-mounted infantry squad of the Chinese armored forces is smaller than the 14-person general infantry squad of the coalition Chinese infantry mixed brigade. It is only an infantry squad of 10 people, because most of the four-person vehicle crews accompany the armored fighting vehicles.

    Such a vehicle-mounted infantry squad has one squad leader each, two snipers, and six soldiers. The whole squad is equipped with 7 short-barreled M1 Garand semi-automatic mounted rifles, 2 M1 Garand semi-automatic sniper rifles, and Browning M1911  10 automatic pistols and one m1917bra squad machine gun. The second squad of each platoon is additionally equipped with 2 Chinese-made 60mm platoon mortars. Each mortar has one shooter and one shooter. These four mortars  The primary and secondary shooters of the artillery fire are also equipped with m1 Garand semi-automatic mounted rifles. As for the m1911 Browning automatic pistol, as a self-defense weapon, it has already been equipped on every soldier of all field troops of the Chinese participating armies.

    In addition, each soldier is also equipped with 4 Chinese-made imitation British melon grenades as close-range firepower supplement. Wang Geng has the advantage of being a time traveler. As early as 1917, this guy personally referred to the design of the German M42 helmet in World War II and let China  The arsenal affiliated to the Ministry of the Army has put into production the Chinese M17-style steel helmet. As a reference to the design of the best helmets in World War II, this helmet provides good protection for the occipital bone on the back of the soldier's head and both sides of the head, and can have obvious ear protection of the helmet.  part.

    For the vehicle-mounted infantry squad of China¡¯s armored forces, since dismounting and fighting alone is not the main method of combat for the vehicle-mounted infantry, in many cases the vehicle-mounted infantry is accompanied by uniforms after disembarking.Armored tanks are used for combat, so the vehicle-mounted infantry of the armored company are not equipped with the m1918a3 Browning 7.62 caliber heavy machine gun at the platoon level, and the number is 4 fewer than that of the ordinary infantry squad.

    In addition to the battalion headquarters, Li Shang's 3rd Armored Battalion also directly manages an 8-door vehicle-mounted M81 battalion mortar platoon. In addition, there is a baggage maintenance team equipped with two Dodge one-and-a-half-ton military trucks. Of course, the entire battalion  There are as many as 6 Chinese FJ18 Hummer reconnaissance and command communication off-road vehicles.

    Obviously, before the coalition's 105mm howitzers stopped bombarding the Lopan River Bridge position, the defending German army was quite calm. There was no sound on the position, whether it was the mg08 heavy machine gun or the 7.6cm light infantry mortar, and there was no sign of firing back.  On the contrary, on the other side of the Kharkov River in the north, the mg08 heavy machine gun on the 6th Regiment of the 3rd Brigade of Ukrainian Volunteers guarding the river bank position in the southeastern part of the south city sprayed out flames from time to time, and the whooshing stream passed through the air trying to attack from the flank.  Create trouble for the attacking Chinese armored forces

    This is one of the reasons why Li Shang ordered the 3rd and 4th companies to attack southward against the north bank of the Uda River. Due to the limited transport capacity of the logistics and heavy transport lines in the forestthe coalition forces Wu Keren's artillery position was hoarded 5 kilometers behind him.  The number of 105mm caliber guns is limited, and the coalition does not intend to waste the guns on the Ukrainian positions on the north bank of Kharkov
