    Fortunately, the two brigades of the Mutou Brigade, Domon and Kashii, are also elite soldiers. Although the first-line fortifications were hastily dug and their ability to withstand shelling was weak, these two brigades coincidentally placed only one squadron on the front line.  As for the security forces, the main force of the brigade is hidden in the second line position 300,500 meters away. Since the first line position has been completed in a hurry, the second line is not so much a position, but a core group of fortress positions based on squads or even  The horizontal traffic trenches have not been dug yet

    Of course Muto Nobuyoshi knew that the biggest weapons of the German counterattack were not just the two main infantry regiments, but the three 105mm light howitzer battalions in the hands of the German major generals. Therefore, the key point for the Japanese infantry to build fortifications was to first build the log roof shelter.  and bombholes, and then trenches and communication ditches

    As for Li Shang¡¯s armored battalion, they are basically hidden near the fighting positions created by temporary logging in the dense forest. The felled logs are used to camouflage and reinforce the roof

    But even so, the 12 105mm light howitzers of the German 140th Artillery Battalion still took advantage at the beginning. The first line of the Japanese army was also turned into a sea of ????fire in the north. Although the two Japanese infantry squadrons guarding the position desperately tried to hide,  Hiding from the shelling in the bomb-proof cave, there were still a lot of casualties, and the first and second line positions were temporarily isolated by the continuous shelling of the German army

    In the first three minutes of the German artillery bombardment, except for the Duli Field Heavy Artillery Regiment on the main northern front position, which fiercely counterattacked the northern city of Kharkov, there were few coalition artillery firebacks in the Kharkov forest area on the eastern front. This gave  German Major General von Neuhaus in the southeastern headquarters had a slight misconception. He believed that his unexpected counterattack might have caught the coalition forces off guard. The coalition's artillery either suffered serious losses during the day, lacked sufficient ammunition, or was poorly positioned.  It is too far away to reach its own artillery position Otherwise, with the style of the coalition forces, it would be impossible to just take a beating without fighting back

    Under such circumstances, von Neuhaus ordered his own artillery to extend fire to the rear of the enemy's first-line positions, trying to knock out the opponent's logistics and artillery positions. At the same time, he ordered the front-line troops to be deployed.  The three main battalions of the 140th German Infantry Regiment started a ground attack

    It was not the two infantry battalions in the southeast that took on the most arduous task in the counterattack, but the 1st Battalion personally commanded by von Blomberg, the commander of the 140th Infantry Regiment. Due to the several attacks organized by the 2nd Ukrainian Volunteer Division during the day,  The counterattacks to recapture the bridge all failed, which made tonight's counterattack at the East Gate rely on the German army to go into battleThe Prime Minister of Ukraine's ruling cabinet, the Minister of Defense and the Commander-in-Chief of the National Army Simon Petlyura did not meet with the German Major General.  Together, it is for the headquarters of the 2nd Volunteer Infantry Division on the East Gate city wall to personally supervise the East Gate counterattack!

    The commander of the 2nd Volunteer Division, Vladislav Vermilovich Kalitintsev, reluctantly merged the two infantry regiments of the 4th Brigade into one, and assembled a regiment of troops, preparing to capture the German army.  After the bridge, fight out of the city to be the second echelon to respond In other words, if the east gate counterattack goes smoothly, there is no need to defend the east city of Kharkiv. The remaining troops of the 4th Brigade will all follow the German Lieutenant Colonel von Blohm.  The infantry battalion of the fort rushed across the river. I heard that the three-way intersection on the other side of the river is the logistics base camp of the coalition There are enough canned beef tubes There are as many cannons and grenades as you need

    The Nakamura brigade guarding the bridgehead had less than 50 men left, and suffered heavy casualties under the fierce bombardment of the German armored trains. Therefore, when the sharp knife company of the infantry battalion commanded by von Blomberg rushed to the bridgehead, a fire broke out.  The bridgehead caught in the raging fire has become a purgatory of fire. The German army successfully crossed the bridge without encountering any interception This made everyone on the bridge overjoyed, while Captain Mizuno Taisuke on the other side of the bridge was stunned.  ¡­

    "Baga! What's going on?! Detonate! Detonate! Why don't you detonate!" Captain Taisuke Mizuno tightly grabbed the collar of his commander, Toshi Maeda, and roared Toshi Maeda  The Major reported with a sweaty expression, "Your Excellency, Captain, the detonating wire was interrupted by German artillery fire The team guarding the bridgehead retreated too slowly to block the northern artillery fire As soon as the enemy's artillery fire was delayed, the enemy's artillery fire was extended.  The detonating wire was blown off"

    "Asshole! Do you need me to give the order? The operator quickly went up and disconnected the line Why are you still standing there? Losing the bridge and committing seppuku are not enough to apologize!" Mizuno Mizuno was so angry that he almost fainted.

    "Five soldiers who went up to connect the lines have been killed Wing Commander Hurry up and call Lu Sang's tactical instructor It is impossible to block the enemy by blasting the bridge. The attackers are the Germans, using machine guns and mortars.  Extremely accurate Our forward machine gun firepower point has suffered huge losses" Toshiro Maeda, the commander of the regiment, grabbed the arm of his regiment leader and shook it, regardless of wiping his sweat.

    "Why didn't our mortars fight back? Why didn't we knock out the opponent's mortars first?!" Mizuno Taisuke roared angrily

    "Your Majesty Colonel, our mortar position has been suppressed by heavy German artillery in the city. It's too late to hide now The team has already suffered a lot of losses We must request long-range artillery tactical guidance from the headquarters, otherwise the bridge will fall into German hands.  We're in!" Maeda Toshiro shouted at the top of his lungs in the log-reinforced shelter!

    At this time, amid the deafening sound of artillery fire, a Japanese army regiment staff officer covered the microphone in his hand and reported, "Regiment commander, the number of Colonel Lu, the enemy commander of the second echelon!"

    When Mizuno and Maeda heard this, their expressions changed. The captain of the 6th Infantry Regiment stretched out his hand to take the phone and even trembled uncontrollably. The voice of Lu Huanyan, commander-in-chief of the second echelon of the coalition, came from the receiver, "Mizuno-kun, Harko  Why hasn¡¯t the Fu Bridge exploded yet? I need you to give me a reason!¡±

    "Lu Sang The German artillery fire in the city was so fierce that it broke the detonating wires We sent people to connect the wires, but they were blown up by the opponent's artillery fire Now the team guarding the bridgehead has been completely shattered, and the German army has at least one battalion.  We are constantly crossing the river along the bridge. Our troops are insufficient. The key is that the second-line position and the first-line position are blocked by German artillery fireII request artillery tactical guidance from the headquarters!" Mizuno Taisuke was bloodshot and red!  The old face replied into the phone.

    There was silence on the other side of the receiver(.)
