Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Southern Type 26 revolver on Captain Sasaki's waist requires huge wrist and finger strength to use. The double-action but hammerless design makes this gun extremely slow to fire and extremely easy to shoot.  Not allowed

    Compared with the China-licensed revolvers produced in China in two calibers, Colt 45 and . 38, which are designed with exquisite workmanship and perfect ergonomics, the difference in power, precision and reliability is as big as the sky.  An underground.

    Of course, when Japanese Army Captain Sasaki became the first squadron leader, the 26-year-old revolver in his holster was no longer the Japanese Army's standard 26-year-old revolver, but the original Nagant revolver equipped by the Soviet Red Army captured in the Battle of Ufa.  The revolver, the 26-year-old revolver in southern Japan is actually an imitation of the Nagant revolver from Tsarist Russia. Of course, it is still an unsuccessful copycat version of the Nagant

    "It's not that the Germans can keep their composure, it's that if our shelling doesn't stop, the German troops on the opposite side will hide in bomb shelters and have no artillery defense at all. What I'm wondering about is that Wu Keren's 8-gun 105mm light field combat  The howitzers have plowed the bridgehead position so many times, why do the German armored train artillerymen on the south side of the bridge refuse to fire a single shot? There must be something wrong here! "

    Although he was only a small Chinese captain and armored company commander, Dong Yingbin, who graduated from the fifth batch of Baoding Military Academy, still smelled the Germans playing tricks like his own battalion commander Li Shang and battalion subordinate Fu Zuoqi who were commanding on the high ground 500 meters away.  What a conspiracy

    July 31, 1918 17:30 The battlefield on the east side of the Lopan River Bridge in the southern suburbs of Kharkov. .

    The Lopan River Bridge is the gateway to and from Kharkov from the south, and is also the core defensive position of the German-Ukrainian coalition. The Lopan River rushing from the west first joins the Yudi River, a tributary of the North Donets River, in the southwest of the city, and then  It goes around the city from the south and merges with the Kharkiv River from the southeast in the middle of the southern part of Kharkiv. The river section to the west of the bridge is called the Lopan River, while the section to the east of the bridge is called the Lopan River.  For the Wuda River, the bridge on the 500-meter-wide river section has become a battleground for military strategists, and the terrain is a "+" shape where three rivers meet.

    Guarding the Lopan River Bridge is the 139th Infantry Regiment, the main force of the 47th German Reserve Infantry Division. The auxiliary troops on the left and right wings are one regiment each of the 1st and 2nd Ukrainian Volunteer Divisions. Since the Ukrainian volunteer troops are all in Lopan  The north bank of the Pan River and the Kharkov River is defended, and the wide river becomes a natural barrier. In fact, if the coalition wants to capture the bridge, it must launch an attack from the river flat where the two rivers meet in the middle of "" If the attacker  This must be the case if it appears from the southeast.

    Of course, the Muto brigade can also cross the Uda River downstream and launch an attack from the south of the bridge It¡¯s just that the Uda River after crossing the Lopan River converges with the three major rivers, the Yudi River, the Kharkov River and the Lopan River.  The amount of water in the river is not only wide, but also abundant and turbulent. It is much more difficult to build pontoon bridges than before and it is also much more fragile, because almost ten kilometers of the river suitable for pontoon bridges are guarded in the southern part of Kharkiv.  Within the range of military artillery fire

    Although according to the observations of the Muto brigade, the long-range artillery fire of the Kharkov defenders should have been exhausted during the two consecutive days of fierce fighting, so if you took the risk, you could have built a bridge across the Uda River and crossed the river southward, but Yonezawa  The bad news that the regiment was blocked by a German armored train on the southern railway line gave up Muto Nobuyoshi's desperate plan to cross the river The artillery on an armored train on the other side exceeded the number of cannons in the artillery attached to Muto's brigade

    Therefore, the attack launched by the Muto Brigade before the evening was destined to be a test contest between the two sides. At the beginning of this attack, the remaining eight 105mm light guns of the Wu Keren Artillery Battalion under the Muto Brigade were  The field howitzers used their n¨£i-eating force. Within 20 minutes, the 105mm grenades whizzed away and blew up the Lopan River Bridge. The smoke was astonishing, but the bridge was actually guarded by only two German infantry battalions, and the other side  A solid bomb shelter was built on the position Although the Muto brigade's continuous bombardment destroyed some machine gun bunkers and fortifications on the surface position, it did not pose a threat or casualties to the German army The other side did not attack the German army except for a few observation posts.  Troops were deployed on the front line.

    In addition to the 105mm light mortars of the Wu Keren Artillery Battalion 6 kilometers behind, the Muto Brigade went into the attack. The ground troops were all the Chinese Armored 3rd Battalion plus the 55th Infantry Division commanded by the Muto Brigade's Furuso Kenro.  The strength of a brigade

    Of course, neither Li Shang nor Guzhuang Qianlang were stupid. Although the German bridgehead position was a difficult nut to crack, and the Ukrainian volunteer positions on the other side of the Kharkov River on the right wing also fired cold shots from time to time, but they were still against their own troops.  The greatest threat was the unsurfaced German armored train detachment on the railway line south of the Lopan River Bridge. Although Li Shang was full of confidence in the combat effectiveness of his armored battalion, he used the Chinese FD17II wheeled armored warfare in the absence of heavy artillery.  Car vs. car vs. GermanyThe heavily armored trains are armed to the teeth. Both sides are not on the same level in terms of protection or firepower

    You can¡¯t expect the armor-piercing bullets of the M2 large-caliber heavy machine gun to directly penetrate the opponent¡¯s thick armored turret, right?  The high-explosive grenades of the mortars of the M81 Battalion also cannot pose a substantial threat to the German armored trains. The only thing that can play a role is the M191837aa anti-tank/anti-aircraft artillery company that Lu Huanyan strengthened to the 3rd Battalion of Li Shang

    However, the m191837aa anti-tank/anti-aircraft gun, as a direct-fire artillery, can only launch attacks on armored trains within sight. This means that even if the new 37mm anti-tank/anti-aircraft gun of the anti-aircraft gun company is used to deal with German armored trains, it must  Arrive unexpectedly and then use an ambush to catch the opponent off guard.

    This is also the reason why Li Shang ordered the 4th Company to release smoke along the north bank of the Uda River. In this tentative attack, Li Shang was the real commander-in-chief of the former enemy. Guzhuang Qianlang's 55th Infantry Brigade was just waving the flag and shouting to follow the main force.  Of course, Li Shang did not intend to devote the entire armored battalion to the attack. At most, one regiment could be placed at the Lopan River Bridge position, and the main force of the German army guarding the southern part of Kharkov was only the German 139th Infantry Regiment  After this calculation, the opponent can put at most two infantry battalions at the bridgehead.
