Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At this moment in the time and space of 1918, although the 33-year-old Lord Maeda is only a minor commander, he is a young general favored by General Utsunomiya and ready to train and promote. To put it bluntly, if Maeda Toshio stays  If you serve as a staff officer in His Excellency Taro Utsunomiya's 3rd Army Headquarters, your promotion speed will definitely not be much worse than that of Ishihara and Itagaki. However, this marquis with glasses on the bridge of his nose likes to climb out of the field army with a pinched neck.  Lead the troops to work, so now it is only attached to the 7th Infantry Regiment of Mizuno Taisuke.

    "Major Maeda, you have fought hard all day, how is the situation of the troops?" Although Lu Huanyan cannot be approachable, he has some admiration for a nobleman like Maeda who still takes the lead and rushes to the front line of the battlefield. What's more, I heard that this person is in front of him.  This slovenly beard and bespectacled major is not only a marquis, but also the third graduate of the 23rd class of the mainland. There is no reason to despise him, and the combat effectiveness of Mizuno Taisuke's 7th Regiment is not weak. The strength of a mere brigade is staggering.  It is to seal the Ukrainians in the east city of Kharkov.  

    "Lu Sang, you are the coalition commander we respect. The combat effectiveness and fighting spirit of the Chinese armored forces are obvious to all. I will not hide it from you. Captain Mizuno only has the strength of the Nakamura Brigade under his command. If it weren't for your subordinates this morning,  With the assistance of the 3rd Armored Battalion, it is impossible for us to capture the Kharkov Bridge. Now Mr. Nakamura has been injured, and the 19th Infantry Battalion only has 2 and a half squadrons left. The logistics and agency personnel of the wing headquarters have been exhausted.  After reaching the front line, our unit is in urgent need of replenishment and rest, but the brigade and regiment headquarters issued a death order. The Kharkov Bridge was lost. Only the commander of the regiment, Mizuno Colonel, asked"

    It was dinner time, and Major Toshio Maeda was devouring the can of American beef handed over by Lu Huanyan while speaking inarticulately. Obviously, the captain and his captain had been exhausted from fighting all day today.  I haven't had much teeth, I'm really hungry now

    "Eat slowly and don't choke" Lu Huanyan showed a rare smile. Although this guy is several years younger than Major Maeda, as the commander of the armored regiment of the Chinese participating army and an army colonel, what kind of person  Have you never met the brigade commander and division commander of our regiment?  In Lu Huanyan's eyes, Major Maeda was just a junior major.

    Maeda Toshiro's face turned red as he devoured the food, but his eyes became moist. This Chinese master Lu, who was always smiling in front of the leader of the Grand Chamber Division, now looked like an elder in front of him. In fact, Lu Huanyan also had a rude look on his face.  Although he looks older than Maeda Toshio, Colonel Lu, who was actually born in 1890, is only 28 years old this year, which is five years younger than the 33-year-old Marquis Maeda.

    At this time, Lu Huanyan's staff officers and deputies in the former enemy headquarters were busy dealing with the cans in their hands. Although the two main battalions of the 1st Armored Regiment had crossed the river and arrived at the key point near the three-way intersection, the 14th Federal Infantry Division  The two artillery battalions are still on the road, and the 18th Infantry Regiment of Masago Eizaki has not even completed crossing the river, and the 51st Infantry Regiment of the 13th Federal Infantry Division is still on the road in the northern Manchu forest.  The entire ten-kilometer stretch north of Sancha Road was full of people neighing and shouting, and it was so crowded.

    If the German-Ukrainian forces could launch an air strike at this time, Lu Huanyan's detoured second-echelon troops would definitely not be left behind. Fortunately, the German Air Force has not yet returned to the skies over Eastern Ukraine, and the Kharkiv Forest is protecting the Ukrainian nation.  At the same time, they also treated the external coalition forces equally. The dense tree canopy blocked the sky and blocked the view from the sky. Since it was already midsummer at the end of July, although the sun had gradually set near the horizon, there was still at least an hour before dark.  time.

    "Guangkui, what's our next move? The Mizuno Regiment only has seven or eight hundred troops left at the bridgehead and they are exhausted and short of food. It's already quite difficult to say that the east gate of Kharkov has been sealed for a day.  The strength of the Ukrainians is at least ten times theirs. It would be difficult to rush out at night not to mention both the former enemy headquarters and the Muto brigade reported that the main force of German reinforcements appeared in the south of the city" Armored Regiment Staff Officer  Colonel Chang Rendao said calmly from the side.

    Ren Dadao is a descendant of a noble family in Jinmen. The head of his family used to be named Aijueluo. This boy did not go to Baoding Military Academy, but to the artillery department of Lu Shinian in Japan. He is considered to be a descendant of Jiang Fangzhen. He also joined the training corps of the participating army.  The disciples recruited by Senior Jiang are 2 years older than the 28-year-old regiment leader Lu Huanyan However, this guy has also been promoted to an army colonel In the armored regiment, he is a figure like Zhuge Liang who can charge into battle.

    "Chief of Staff, the German troops on the southern front have received reinforcements. In my opinion, this battle is not easy to fight. The Muto Brigade is supporting the south, and there are two large rivers, the Kharkov River and the Uda River, blocking it. If the Germans follow the plan  If pushed from the south to the north, I don't think the opponent is doing anything great. What I'm worried about is that this guy von Neuhaus may not be willing to let go of the opportunity to attack the Kharkov Bridge from the east. He really wants to rush out of the city.  german infantryIt will be difficult for us to deal with the corps"

    Lu Huanyan swallowed the black bread in his hand in two mouthfuls, walked to the combat map hanging on the wall of the tent, pointed at it, and started talking. Chief of Staff Ren Dao and Maeda, the liaison officer sent by Japan's Mizuno Taisuke Wing, came up to them.  The two battalion commanders Tao Dayong and Liu Yifei who entered the tent also came over with heated cans of beef handed to them by the orderlies in their hands.

    Liu Yifei, the commander of the 2nd Armored Battalion, is a top student in the infantry section of the 5th phase of Baoding Military Academy. Major Liu, who was supposed to graduate in 2 months, joined the combat training corps half a year early and is now a member of the 2nd Infantry Division of the 1st Armored Regiment.  The battalion commander can also be regarded as one of Lu Huanyan's generals.

    Liu Yifei was born on August 25, 1893 (July 4, 19th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty) in a wealthy farmer's family in the Liujia Wayao along the Chaihe River in Tieling County, Liaoning Province.  His ancestors lived in Liujiazhuang on the bank of the Yellow River in Xiajin County, Dongchang Prefecture, Shandong Province for a long time, and farmed for generations.  At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Yellow River changed its course and Xiajin County suffered from drought and floods.  The Liu family fled to the Northeast with their children and settled down in Tieling.  His grandfather Liu Yongcheng and his grandmother Li Shi had six children. The eldest son died in infancy, and the second son Liu Qi was Liu Yifei's father.  Liu Qi married Yang and had four children, Liu Yifei ranked second.

    After the establishment of the combat army created by Wang Geng, it was open to all rivers. Whether they were southerners or former alliance members, as long as they were willing to unite under the banner of the Beiyang government, they all had a chance to succeed. Those who studied in the fifth phase of Baoding Military Academy  Liu Yifei couldn't hold himself back anymore and joined the combat army and entered the training group half a year in advance. He worked his way from second lieutenant platoon leader and lieutenant company commander to commander of the 2nd battalion of the armored regiment. Even Li Shang and Tao Dayong did not dare to underestimate him, and Xue Ju  You, Dong Yingbin and other company commanders are filled with envy.
