    In fact, as soon as the battle started, Tao Dayong, who was 1 km away on the west side of the road, led the battalion and the 3rd and 4th companies to leave the baggage troops and catch up. However, because Fei Hongju relied only on the firepower of the 1st company, he quickly annihilated the opponent.  A cavalry sharp knife company, Tao Dayong's main force came up, but it was already an afterthought. Tao Dayong, who was in a hurry, jumped out of the battalion's head car and found that the six wheeled chariots of the first company were scattered 300 meters south of the road.  Four tanks from the Ministry and the 2nd Platoon were still parked on the road to guard. Fan Yijun, attached to the 1st Armored Company, stepped forward and reported,

    "Report to the battalion commander that traces of the 3rd Ukrainian Infantry Division have been found. Just now, a cavalry reconnaissance battalion from the other side came over and was defeated by our company The company commander led the 3rd and 1st platoons to pursue them on foot The armored vehicles were restricted in the bushes and could not advance.  The company commander asked me to take the 2nd platoon here to wait for the main battalion to come up, please give instructions from the battalion commander!"

    "Nonsense! The infantry in vehicles chased the Ukrainian cavalry on foot? Does Fei Hongju really think that the Ukrainians are all idiots? Bring the prisoners over and I will interrogate them personally!" Tao Dayong said with a calm face. In his opinion, this continued  The battle was fought in a hurry Of course, the main reason was misjudgment that the opponent's strength was only one company. Secondly, it was a waste of time. Maybe it was because the night always brought more uncertainty, not to mention that the 1st Armored Company might  Thinking that he was facing a Ukrainian division his movements were a bit deliberate, not only for fear of scaring the enemy, but also for fear of scaring himself. As a result, after knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, Fei Hongju must have felt uneasy, so he brought  Platoon 3 and Platoon 1 moved south

    "It's the headquarters of the 3rd Ukrainian Infantry Division and two main regiments, with at least 5,000 troops It's all in the dark, about 4 kilometers away from us. Grandma shot the rabbit, and I was afraid that the bear would be scared away.  ¡­¡±

    After interrogating the Ukrainian prisoners, Tao Dayong walked around in front of the armored vehicle with his hands behind his back Just now, the ten tanks of the first company were firing with large-caliber machine guns. Only a few of the opponent's more than 100 cavalry were able to escape, and nearly 80 people died in the battle. Only  More than a dozen lucky guys were injured, and almost all the horses were beaten to pulp

    If it is a position attack in the plains during the day, don't think that Tao Dayong would not dare to lead three armored companies to defeat the two main Ukrainian infantry regiments. The key is that it is night, the terrain is unfamiliar, and the use of armored vehicles is limited. If  Vehicles carry infantry to fight, relying on less than 400 infantry to attack the opponent's 5,000 people This battle is impossible Unless the opponent flees without a fight, then you can still make money by chasing ducks behind your back

    At 22:00 on July 31, 1918, in the eastern forest of Kharkov, the East Detachment of the Second Echelon of the East Route Roundabout of the Central Route Army of the Allied Southwest Front

    "Battal Commander hurry up and send people to chase Fei Hongju and the others back. To the south is the main force of the 3rd Ukrainian Infantry Division. Even if they defeat a cavalry battalion of the other side, they still have the division headquarters and two main infantry regiments behind them. According to  According to the prisoners' confessions, the enemy's total remaining strength must be just over 5,000. Our entire battalion still owes a second company of Fu Erzhu. This small number of troops can't be used as infantry in the forest" Major Mo Liyuan attached to the battalion  Said anxiously from the side.

    "Moying, tell me, if the main force of the 3rd Ukrainian Infantry Division is in the forest to our south at this moment, does it mean that Katina Town and the Northern Donets River Bridge in the east are wide open and undefended? I guess.  After a while, Xue Juru and Fu Erzhu will be able to seize Katina Town and the bridge At this time, we must put pressure on the 3rd Ukrainian Infantry Division in the south. Even if we cannot eat the opponent, we must still frighten the opponent so that they can  Completely give up the idea of ????retreating to the east, so as to reduce the pressure on the east"

    At this moment, Tao Dayong hated the endless black swamps and shrub-filled forests in front of him. If he were on the Ufa Plain, he would definitely have a chance to lead an armored battalion to defeat the Ukrainian 3rd Infantry Division, but now  Although the firepower of our own armored vehicles is strong, it cannot be separated from the forest road, and the opponent's troops occupy it. Walk five kilometers south in the dark and use three vehicle-mounted infantry companies to attack the opponent's main force of 5,000 people. What will this battle look like?  It¡¯s really hard to say¡­

    But asking Tao Dayong to just sit back and wait on both sides of the forest road is not in line with the style and temper of the first brave general of the ** Armored Regiment. No matter how difficult it is, he must put pressure on the Ukrainians and put the 3rd Ukrainian Infantry Division in front of him.  Push them toward the southwest instead of letting the opponent retreat toward the southeast

    "Pass my order, all the infantry of the 3rd and 4th companies will get off the car, and I will lead them to the southeast. You will command 30 wheeled armored combat vehicles from Moying to control this road and spread it to both wings. Each armor  The platoon controls a one-kilometer road section and strengthens the security. Fei Lien, you lead the 2nd platoon to catch up with your company commander and tell him to take it easy. The main force of the 3rd and 4th companies and I will support him in the southeast. We will use night harassment tactics.  A bite is a bite. If the enemy retreats, don't chase them too fast. Just stay behind and chase the sheep, either to the south or southwest!" Tao Dayong, commander of the 1st Armored Battalion, finally made a decision.

    ¡­¡­¡­Temporary location of the 3rd Ukrainian Infantry Division¡­

      "Division Commander! Division Commander! Something bad happened. The cavalry reconnaissance battalion was attacked by the main force of the coalition armored forces on the forest road to the north. At least one of the enemy's reinforced battalions was strengthened. The entire sharp knife company of the reconnaissance battalion was wiped out. The battalion commander led the remaining cavalry towards  They withdrew to the southeast and asked me to come back to report. They said that they were afraid of exposing the location where the main force of the division was gathering, so the reconnaissance battalion did not dare to withdraw directly to the south" The battalion commander of the cavalry reconnaissance battalion fell down out of breath.  Reported on the ground.

    "Asshole! Where did the coalition armored battalion come from? Did you really see clearly that it was a Chinese armored force?! Where did they come from!" Division Commander Koval was so frightened that he sweated on his forehead, grabbed the messenger and roared  road.

    "Commander, you can't be wrong. Not a single sharp knife came out. There are countless armored vehicles looming on the forest road. The large-caliber machine gun bullets can cut down trees as thick as a bowl from 1,000 meters away. If the entire battalion hadn't dismounted quickly,  , everything is explained now, division commander, make up your mind quickly, the battalion commander said that the enemy has bad intentions, it is likely that follow-up reinforcements have arrived You have to make up your mind quickly!" the ordering soldier shouted aggrievedly.

    "Chief of Staff! Where did the Chief of Staff die! What should I do now?!" Koval turned around and shouted to find his Chief of Staff. He turned around and found the Chief of Staff of the 3rd Infantry Division running out of the tent with a telescope.  Major General Shesi Shevajevich Nazarenko appeared in front of him with a panicked look on his face, panting.
