    The armor of the German armored trains is quite strong, much thicker than the armored trains of the Soviet Red Army. At this time, the shelling of the coalition's 75mm field artillery does not pose a fatal threat to the armored trains, but the railway tracks and the streets in the city are easily destroyed.  In Lu Huanyan's original plan, the two armored battalions of Liu Yifei and Li Shang were used on the southern front to withstand the attack of the two German infantry regiments on behalf of Nobuyoshi Muto

    On the eastern front, the enemy showed weakness and put the two German battalions and the Ukrainian infantry regiment that were counterattacking at the east gate to the battlefield at the three-way intersection to eat them up in one go Unexpectedly, Chief of Staff Ren Dao commanded the counterattack of the 4th Armored Company just now.  It was a little fiercer, and the counterattack of my own M81 mortar group destroyed the enthusiasm of the German offensive. In addition, the armored train in Kharkov was driven out by the 75mm field artillery group of the Northern Line Allied Forces.  The Old City Fortress of Kharkiv caused the German troops on the Eastern Front to lose the support of long-range artillery fire As a result

    ??When Lu Huanyan did not invest the main force in the counterattack, the German troops on the eastern front actually withdrew?  This unscientific¡­¡­

    "Report to the regimental commander, the security post south of the three-way intersection reported that a German brigade appeared on the river beach. It looks like it is going to go south and penetrate behind the Muto brigade!" A regimental staff officer put down the microphone nervously and reported!

    "Where exactly have you arrived?" Ren Dadao, chief of staff of the regiment, rushed over and grabbed the microphone. After asking a few questions, he put down the microphone and said to the regiment leader Lu Huanyan,

    "It was a mobile sentry report left by the 2nd Armored Battalion three kilometers away. About 1,000 German troops, probably the main force of the two German infantry battalions that came out from the east gate, withdrew from the west side of the three-way intersection.  After going down to the river beach, we used the cover of the river bank to move towards the south. We are now about 5 kilometers away from the rear of the Muto Brigade Do you want to inform the Muto Brigade that only about half of the strength of the Domon and Kashii Brigades is left?  , Li Shang's armored battalion still has less than 3 companies of troops. It would be terrible if someone takes the retreat! "

    Lu Huanyan, the former enemy commander of the second echelon, frowned. The situation before him became a bit complicated. The German army actually gave up attacking at the three-way intersection and instead prepared to encircle the Muto brigade on the southern line along the Kharkov Bridge.  The Ukrainian volunteer infantry regiment attacking eastward on the approach bridge on this road is just a smoke It looks like the gunfire is fierce, and there are a lot of troops, but since the two main German infantry battalions are supported by armored train artillery, there are no  How could the Ukrainian volunteers, who had obviously lost the support of long-range artillery fire, be able to attack?

    "Captain, if the Muto Brigade is eaten by the Germansour battle on the Eastern Front will be lost no matter whatnot to mention the two armored battalions of Li Shang and Yi Fei are our fists and main force.  , can¡¯t we let the Germans swallow it up? Now it seems that the German army has invested 5 main infantry battalions on the southern front and 2 more main infantry battalions on the eastern front. The total strength of the German army in counterattack has exceeded 2 infantry battalions.  Corps, and in addition to the armored trains, the opponent also retains the firepower of at least 5 105mm light field howitzer batteries This does not include the Ukrainian auxiliary forces of more than 4 infantry regiments in three directions We must be cautious  That¡¯s good!¡±

    The tone of the regiment chief of staff, Ren Dao, was a little anxious. The situation was not developing in the direction expected by his regiment leader. After a false shot on the eastern front, the Germans actually prepared to encircle the Muto brigade on the southern front from four directions Discussion  In terms of long-range artillery fire and ground troops, the German army has the advantage If Lu Huanyan never uses the two federal 75mm field artillery battalions and the Ezaki Shogo Infantry Regiment and the 51st Biafra Infantry Regiment,  As for the reserve team

    "Chief of Staff, depending on you, how should we fight?" The strong Lu Huanyan turned to ask his Chief of Staff, obviously wanting to see what clever tricks his deputy could come up with The Chief of Staff is capable and ambitious in both civil and military skills.  Guys, having said that, which of the generals at all levels in China's participating armies is incompetent and ambitious?

    "Rely on me? Let's first eat the two main German battalions on the riverbank on the eastern front, transfer Li Shang's 3rd Armored Battalion and two armored companies back, and join the 2nd Battalion's 4th Armored Company along the road to  The Kharkov Bridge assault defeated the Ukrainian Volunteer Infantry Regiment, reoccupied the Kharkov Bridge, cut off the retreat of the two German infantry battalions, and then swept down from north to south, using armored forces to control the two  The main roads and small roads in the direction allowed the 18th Infantry Regiment of Masago Ezaki to enter the forest from the ground to attack and eat the two German infantry battalions cleanly! "

    The regiment chief of staff, Ren Dadao, finished gesturing in front of the combat map. He turned around and looked at his regiment leader with shining eyes. He felt that his method of play was the most direct and effective method at present. The armored force method was to fight deep into the forest. Three  The width of the forest on the right side of the path south of the fork is 23 kilometers, which is just enough for the 18th Japanese Infantry Regiment to use its superior strength to attack the two German infantry battalions. The ratio of forces between the two sides is 3:1.  The follow-up and fire support of the coalition's M81 mortar group, plus the long-range fire coverage of two 75mm Federal 38-type field artillery battalions, destroyed the opponent's tenGet nine for sure!

    "That's rightbut if the two German infantry battalions on the eastern front are attacked or surrounded, what will the main German army on the southern front do? Will they continue to attack the Muto brigade? If they give up the counterattack and retreat, they will have been defeated.  Can the exhausted Muto brigade with heavy casualties still be able to catch up?" Lu Huanyan looked at the map and asked his chief of staff!

    "Uh Commander, you can't have your cake and eat it too. Do you plan to eat up the two main infantry regiments of the German army in one go? Our troops are far from enough. Don't forget that the German army's equipment, firepower and combat effectiveness are better than those of the Ukrainians."  It is much stronger than the Soviet Red Army. With the same strength, a Japanese infantry brigade may not be able to defeat a German infantry battalion, and the opponent's infantry and artillery coordination and friendly neighbor coordination are very good. The combat effectiveness of the two German infantry battalions is only  There are more than two Japanese infantry brigades The Sugimoto regiment of the Kikuchi brigade has already been taught a lesson by the opponent"

    Ren Dadao felt that his regiment leader was a little too hasty. This was a forest area that was unfamiliar to people. Ukrainians were always waiting around, and the total force invested by the German-Ukrainian coalition forces on the Kharkov Forest battlefield tonight was  There are two main German regiments and four Ukrainian infantry regiments, three 105mm light howitzer battalions and an armored train artillery. The coalition's combat strength is only one 51st Federal Infantry Regiment, plus one 18th Infantry Division Masago Emiratesaki.  Regiment, 2 federal 75mm field artillery battalions, 2 armored battalions, a disabled Muto infantry brigade, and a Wu Keren duli artillery battalion.  most
