    No matter how brave Liu Yifei and the 2nd Armored Battalion were, no matter how hard-working they were, they had been fighting back and forth for a whole night. Although they saved a lot of energy by using the armored tanks, people are not steel after all. The German army retreated undefeated.  Using six companies of exhausted infantry to chase five German main infantry battalions you might suffer a big loss!

    "The German troops on the southern front have indeed withdrawnMajor General Muto said that he could not wait for the Eizaki Shogo unit to come up, and had ordered the Furushu, Domon and Kashii brigades to assemble on the spot to engage in counterattack and pursuit, and asked us to use artillery groups to the maximum extent  Bombard the German lines, intercept and disrupt the opponent's retreat" The relationship between Muto Nobuyoshi and Lu Huanyan was lukewarm. At this time, neither of them expected that the German army would retreat across the board, and they were both caught off guard for a moment.

    "Reporting to the head of the regiment, Colonel Bivlov's three infantry battalions have been blocked by the Germans. They are now outflanking and attacking with all their strength. Please request the M81 mortar group to follow up to the west and provide fire support to the west side of the forest path. Halko  The bank of the Kharkov River is too high, and Colonel Zabirchenko's artillery shells have just passed over the river bank and gone to the river beach and the Kharkov River to fry fish!" another staff officer reported.

    "Inform the mortar group to move forward to the west side of the forest path to provide fire support for the 51st Biafra Infantry Regiment. Inform Colonel Biafra not to attack head-on, but to weave around from both wings. The mortar firepower  Support will arrive soon! The mission of the 51st Federal Infantry Regiment is to hold on to the two German battalions. If they do not detach, they will win. The opponent will not turn around and die at the Kharkov Bridge. It will be a sure thing.  Run south along the riverbankand drive them south!" Lu Huanyan's tone was firm.

    "Reporting to the head of the regiment Lieutenant General Da Ting called asking us to seize the favorable opportunity and try to defeat the entire German infantry before the German artillery counterattack!" Apparently the former enemy commander-in-chief of the Central Army on the northern line was also a little restless.  Directly using the fragile wired telephones that were recently connected instead of relying solely on wireless telegraph communications.

    "The regiment of Masago Eizaki is moving forward too slowly! Let all the logistics and baggage make way for the 18th Infantry Regiment, and the engineering detachment will do their best to repair the road! Get me to the Muto brigade headquarters!" Lu Huanyan said at his headquarters  I turned around a few times and felt that if the Germans were slippery and could run so fast, it would really depend on whether their artillery could use artillery fire to block and intercept the opponent. But the Kharkiv forest was so vast I was counting on 34 75mm three-guns.  It is impossible for a group of eight-type field artillery to hit everything

    "Muto-sanI am Lu Huanyan. I'm sorrythe effect of our killer artillery cluster suddenly firing was a bit beyond the expectations of both parties. The main German forces on the southern front may not retreat across the board. They only need to retreat 2 kilometers away from us."  The firepower of the artillery group covers the area, so I have to remind you to be cautious when pursuing to prevent the German army from turning back The opponent is actively retreating now, not being defeated by us! "

    Lu Huanyan was obviously worried that the Muto brigade would underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, but would suffer a loss After all, the three infantry brigades under his command were all at the end of the war, and their strength was at a disadvantage. The power of Liu Yifei's 2nd Armored Battalion of vehicle-mounted infantry when dismounted and fighting may not be greater than the main force of the German army.  too much¡­¡­

    "Lu Sang Our Muto brigade will never let go of the Germans easily. They took advantage of me this night with their superiority in artillery fire and troops. Now it's time to come back. Don't worry, Major Liu  I will give due consideration to the 2nd Armored Battalion and never let them suffer I have organized the Domon and Kashii Battalions into a western front pursuit unit, and the Furushu Battalion will pursue the eastern front on the forest path.  Please supervise the reinforcements of the team We will definitely win this battle. The key depends on whether we can annihilate the main force of the German army! My brigade headquarters will go south now! Please wait for the good news from my Muto brigade!"

    Muto Nobuyoshi's voice on the phone was quite confident. Lu Huanyan put down the phone helplessly, turned around and asked the staff officer beside him, "Where is Masago Eizaki now? How long will it take for the 18th Infantry Regiment to reach the southern battlefield?"

    A staff officer of the armored regiment grabbed the microphone and shouted for a long time, then turned around and reported, "The 67-kilometer road from the Sancha intersection to the southern line is extremely blocked. The Ezaki Shogo Regiment is still three kilometers away from Muto's troops Now  They have all dismounted and are marching on foot to the south However, unless the Germans stop, it will be very difficult to catch up with the enemy. The road ahead has been basically destroyed by the Germans. They are advancing along the forests on both sides of the road.  Can¡¯t pick up the speed!¡±

    "Order the engineers and logistics to do everything they can to open up the forest path, and tell Masago Ezaki that the advancing speed of the 18th Infantry Regiment will determine whether tonight's battle will defeat the German army or just repel the German army. No let him transfer an infantry brigade.  Cross to the west and cooperate with Bavlov's 51st Infantry Regiment to surround and eat the two German battalions on the river beach! The remaining two infantry brigades continue to pursue south!"

    Lu Huanyan temporarily changed his deployment. Due to the road obstruction, he used the logistics and artillery battalion's Dodge trucks to mechanize the delivery of Izaki's troops.The plan of the ?? regiment was abandoned halfway. At this time, the road was extremely congested. Instead of letting the entire 18th Infantry Regiment follow the Muto Brigade southward, it was better to transfer a group to the Kharkov River in the west to eat up the German river beach.  Let¡¯s talk about the two main battalions on the ground. The three infantry battalions in Biflov¡¯s hands obviously have a hard time. They have to help this guy!

    Southeast of Kharkiv New Town, the former enemy headquarters of the German-Ukrainian Allied Forces

    "I don't understand! Your Excellency General, no matter how fierce the artillery fire of the coalition forces is, it is just a 75mm field gun. It is not much more powerful than our 7.6cm mortar. How can we retreat across the board? Now at the east gate of Kharkov  In a tight situation, at least two artillery battalions on the main coalition position on the northern front are taking turns bombarding the east city defense line of the Old City Fortress. The Kharkov Bridge has been occupied by the coalition armored forces. Sergio Setyev, commander of the 4th Brigade,  The 8th Infantry Regiment that crossed the river led by Q. Pshenyheny only withdrew more than 200 people across the river. The 8th Regiment was completely collapsed, and its leader Valenti Valenjevich Slyusa disappeared At this time  The southern front is withdrawn againhow can Kharkov be defended?"

    The hoarse and panicked voice of Simon Petliura, Prime Minister of Ukraine's ruling cabinet, Minister of Defense and Commander-in-Chief of the National Army, came from the phone receiver. The defense line of the east city of the fortress under his command was completely empty. Although the east gate was blocked again, the entire  The remaining garrison troops of the 4th Brigade of the 2nd Volunteer Division were less than 2 battalions. The troops of the 8th Regiment on the other side were almost eaten by the coalition armored forces under the eyes of the commander-in-chief of the National Army
