    "Major Maeda, have you forgotten how to sing the military song "Three Major Disciplines and Nine Points of Attention"? Disobeying the orders of your superiors will result in battlefield discipline being enforced on the battlefield" Tao Dayong, commander of the 1st Armored Battalion, frightened the man in Maeda's glasses.  While muttering to himself, I heard that many of the generals in the Muto Brigade who graduated from mainland China are men with glasses. I want to see how this gentle-looking regimental officer can deal with the pressure of his own captain.

    "I'm sorry to obeyMajor TaoThe Mizuno Regiment is cooperating with you in fighting, not directly under your jurisdiction and command. Mizuno and I's boss is the commander of the Muto Brigade. Otherwise, Lieutenant General Oba can give orders directly. Just rely on  Colonel Lu's words asked us to blow up the bridge. This is a very important matter, let alone me. Even Captain Mizuno cannot shoulder this responsibility!" Maeda Toshiba mustered up the courage to argue, but he took a few steps back unconsciously!  .  

    "TchMaeda-kunThe Art of War says: I will not accept your order, not to mention Oba Jiro and Muto Nobuyoshi, who are unable to catch up with the unknown battlefield situation. The highest commander here is our regiment commander. If you really dare to disobey orders, we can disarm you directly."  With your guns down, why don't we blow up the bridge ourselves?" Ren Dadao, the regiment chief of staff, made up his mind and prepared to completely muddy the waters!

    If Oba and Muto were to pursue the issue of the bridge bombing in the future, the instigator, Lu Huanyan, would naturally be the one to take the lead. If the two sides could not reconcile each other and shirk the blame, the higher-ups might have removed the group leader and replaced him with the position?  Let Da Dao's little abacus slip away.

    "This is absolutely not possible If General Utsunomiya really wants to investigate after the internal strife, Colonel Lu will not be able to explain it in front of the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces and General Li Mingzhong Why don't you send a report to Commander Muto Brigade or Lieutenant General Oba for instructions?  How about it? As long as they nod, we have to carry out the order and blow up the bridge even if we are willing" Maeda Toshi's small eyes behind his glasses rolled around for a while, and finally came up with another idea. In his opinion, he  This is just a ladder for China Lu to step down

    ¡°If China Lu did not act on his own initiative but got the tacit approval of Lieutenant General Da Ting, would there be any need to talk to a team like him for a long time?  To put it bluntly, let alone a major like himself and the Marquis of the Maeda family, even if the Emperor is here, the king's direct subordinates and generals here may not have any respect, right?

    "Admiral Otani will not express his position. He will only let me make a decision on the spur of the moment. Of course, he does not want me to blow up the bridge so easily. As for Major General Muto, he is unwilling He said that he can send a telegram to ask them for instructions.  Not to mention, the responsibility for bombing the bridge is of course mine, Lu Huanyan. Could it be that Lord Maeda thought that I, the commander-in-chief of the second echelon of the former enemy, was someone who dared not be the commander of the enemy?" Lu Huanyan's voice obviously turned cold, which made many official officials boundless.  latest chapter.

    "Lu Sang, since you know that neither the commander of the Grand Chamber Division nor Major General Muto want to take the initiative to blow up the bridge, this will not only show weakness to the enemy but also easily block the passage into Kharkov from the east gate in the future, why do you  Why don't we insist on blowing up the bridge?" Major Maeda shouted anxiously.

    "Yes Captain, since the Japanese don't want to, just keep the bridge. Anyway, the Germans came out of the city and looted the Muto brigade's retreat. By then, we will have already arrived to clean up the Ukrainian ones.  Three infantry divisions have gone" Liu Yifei, commander of the 2nd Armored Battalion, said lightly from the side.

    "Mr. Maeda, I am going to blow up the bridge to reduce your burden. The remaining tasks of the Mizuno Regiment Headquarters and the Nakamura Brigade are to guard and monitor the enemy along the Kharkov River. I believe that the other party will not be here.  If you force a crossing after the bridge is broken or build a pontoon bridge to attack, the terrain here is favorable. The right bank of the Kharkov River is high and the left bank is low. You will be guaranteed to hold your position. This way, the main force of the Muto brigade in the south will not have to worry about being cut off. I  I can safely command the second echelon to the east to deal with the three Ukrainian infantry divisions. I will bear this responsibility, do you understand?"

    Lu Huanyan's words were both sincere and coercive. Maeda Toshiba murmured for a long time, and finally nodded dejectedly and said, "Okay follow your order, but we must guard the river bank. We need to replenish medicine and food. American canned beef  Can you give it to us evenly? It¡¯s hot and the rice balls are sour I¡¯ll have diarrhea if I eat any more!¡±

    July 31, 1918, 18:00, in the eastern forest of Kharkiv, the former enemy headquarters of the second echelon of the coalition east route

    Major Toshio Maeda, the Marquis of Kaga Domain and the 7th Infantry Regiment of the Mizuno Taisuke Infantry Regiment of the Mutoh Brigade, accepted the order completely unexpected with a grimace.  Commander Lu Huanyan originally had the power to control the troops in the entire Kharkov forest area to launch an attack on the three Ukrainian infantry divisions, and the bridge outside the east gate of Kharkov had obviously become a breakthrough and timing after the main German reinforcements arrived.  fry¡­¡­

    This honors student who graduated third in the 23rd batch of the Saber Group of the Mainland University certainly knew that at this moment, Chinese Colonel Lu Huanyan decided to blow up the bridge to block the German-Ukrainian coalition counterattack from the east gate. It was an absolutely wise choice, but in the big courtSince ? and Commander Muto Xinyi Brigade refused to give the order to blow up the bridge, the fear of showing weakness to the enemy and losing the face of the Imperial Japanese Army's 3rd Division was probably an important reason. The reason was of course the high-sounding and previous unwillingness to give in easily.  It is the same as the air force's air attack on the city of Kharkov, that is, the coalition's central route army is bound to win the city of Kharkov. Now, if the city's bombed ruins are invaded into the city in a few days, wouldn't it be empty-handed?

    "Maeda-kun, everyone, I hope you all understand that the goal of the Ukrainian campaign is to annihilate the enemy's effective forces and show our muscles and strength in front of the German and Austrian Allies, thereby containing the main force of the German and Austrian Eastern Front and attracting the main force of the Eastern Front of the Western Front.  This is the starting point of the campaign that the Commander-in-Chief has repeatedly emphasized. Although Kharkiv is a solid and beautiful city, compared to destroying the enemy and preserving ourselves, this city is worthless in my eyes.  The men and horses under my command are much more valuable than those bridges, roads, streets and houses!¡±

    The voice of Lu Huanyan, commander of the 1st Armored Regiment of the Chinese Participating Army, was full of determination and confidence. These words also infected the chiefs of staff and battalion commanders of the armored regiments present. Major Maeda of the Regiment sent by the Mizuno Regiment to liaise stood up and raised his chest.  He said loudly, "I understand, Lu Sang, you are a real soldier. I will go back and explain it to Mizuno-kun and Nakamura-kun. I believe they will understand and accept your decision and command"

    "Chief of Staff, transfer a cart of cans and a cart of medicine from our supplies to Major Maeda to take back In addition, Major Tao, transfer an armored platoon from your battalion to assist Captain Mizuno in commanding the Nakamura Group in the operation. The mission is clear.  Yes, the bridge must be blown up, but don¡¯t do it too hastily. At least wait until the Germans are almost ready in Dongcheng before blowing it up. This will make the other side exhausted(.)
