Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    But what do you say if you win?  Does removing you from office mean killing your head?  "The one who slapped the table and roared was Major General Shokhov, commander of the 14th Federal Infantry Division. This commander was formerly the division political commissar of the Voronezh Infantry Division. Following his division commander, he was captured together with the chief of staff of the group army in the Battle of Ufa. Later,  He decisively chose to be loyal to the Volga Federation and served as the division commander of the 14th Infantry Division of the Voronezh Army.

    Although Gurban Gurbanyevich Shokhov was once a division political commissar of the Soviet Red Army, this guy was a son of a rich farmer. When he and Liukin Alexeyevich Voronezh partnered to command the troops, they worked well together.  Well, now I am the commander of the 14th Federal Division. In terms of troop construction, I am also on par with the 13th Infantry Division, the big brother with the main lineup. Seeing that a mere Japanese brigade chief of staff dares to jump out and question the Infantry Division.  The combat effectiveness of the 14th Division, isn't this a slap in the face?  As the commander of the 14th Infantry Division, how could he not jump up and become angry?

    As a result, the federal generals and the Japanese generals were at war with each other again. Major General Shinnosuke Kikuchi looked very ugly. If the 8,000-strong 5th Infantry Brigade was fully equipped, he would never put the almost ragtag Federal Infantry Brigade into the 5th Infantry Brigade.  The 14th Division took it seriously, but at this time, the Sugimoto Regiment only had one brigade left, and the three infantry brigades of the Izaki Masago Regiment were once again understaffed, requiring less than 5,000 troops to challenge.  The approximately 12,600 troops under the command of Major General Mao Zi of the Federation in front of him are outnumbered!

    "Okay! Stop arguing! The front army headquarters does not doubt the fighting spirit of the federal troops, but the combat effectiveness depends on equipment, training, morale and experience, plus the commander's battlefield command capabilities and whether the headquarters' combat plan is correct and reasonable. The federal forces  The 13th Infantry Division is a backbone of veterans, and it has been fully equipped with Browning light and heavy machine guns and mortars of the coalition standard. It is obvious that its combat effectiveness is stronger than the other two federal infantry divisions Some of the 14th Infantry Division are closely related to the German-Ukrainian coalition forces.  This is a chance for a duel, Major General Shokhov. Don¡¯t let me hear any words of internal strife in the future, otherwise the discipline of the coalition is not just for you to talk about it!¡±

    Utsunomiya Taro once again controlled the situation that was a bit out of control. Major General Shokhov sat back in his seat, and did not forget to glare at the two living treasures Ogawa and Takagi opposite him The federal general  The bodies are generally thick and tall. At this time, most of them have beards, and they look much more powerful and majestic than the thin Japanese generals opposite At least one of the Japanese generals wears glasses, while the federal generals do not have any at all.  The guy with glasses, even though Shokhov graduated from Moscow State University and served as a political commissar of the Soviet Red Army, he is not weak but energetic.

    "Whether it's a mule or a horse will be pulled out later, but I'm afraid that the new recruits of the 14th and 15th Federal Infantry Division are not able to go into battle or see the big scene at the moment. Out of the standpoint of preserving the vitality and strength of the Central Army,  Colonel Lu's Chinese armored forces are also in urgent need of rest and replenishment of equipment and personnel. However, due to the high speed of troops they rashly requested the mobile troops of the Western Route Army to be transferred eastward Will it have a great impact on the entire Ukrainian campaign's combat plan?  ?" Shinnosuke Kikuchi, the commander of the 5th Infantry Brigade who had been silent, finally spoke slowly and logically.

    Lieutenant General Stepin stretched out his hand to stop the commotion in Voronezh and Shokhov. He understood that going too far is not enough. Fighting for the voice and battlefield status of the federal troops is one thing, but putting his own troops on the fire is another matter.  The Chief of Staff of the Kikuchi Brigade was right. The 13th Federal Infantry Division was an elite main division, but only half of Shokhov's 14th Infantry Division were veterans with combat experience, and Lav Geravnovich Ranko  The 15th Infantry Division commanded by the major general even accounted for 60% of the recruits

    These two divisions can be used to hold up the situation, but if they really want to fight a tough battle with their bayonets red, the machine guns are all old-fashioned Russian-made Maxim wheel-type heavy machine guns, the M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle and the Browning squad machine gun are all  There is no equipment, let alone the M60 and M81, two very useful infantry mortars It is okay to follow the main force and get a bargain, but it is barely enough to occupy Kharkov and serve as a city defense force. You have to bear the burden of one  That's not possible!

    Shinnosuke Kikuchi was right in his words. From the perspective of a Japanese general, he supported Ogawa, Takagi and others' judgment that they were not complimentary of the combat effectiveness of the 14th and 15th Federal Infantry Divisions, and proposed Chinese armor against Stepin.  The 1st Regiment can undertake the task of continuing the pursuit. He said that the Chinese armored forces also need to rest and replenish. However, this guy does not support the idea of ??transferring troops from the West Route Army, especially the 2nd Chinese Armored Regiment and the 7th Cavalry Regiment.  The team¡¯s ideaMajor General Kikuchi did not agree

    This is not opposition for the sake of opposition. Kikuchi instinctively has a kind of vigilance, that is, Lu Huanyan's Chinese armored regiment has made great achievements in the Central Route Army and grabbed enough limelight, attracting the attention of the entire Allied Eastern Front Allied Forces. If  Move another 2nd Armored Regiment to reinforce Kharkov.If the battle continues, then the Chinese armored forces are likely to become the dominant force of the Central Route Army. This will have an uncertain negative impact on the original intention of the Ukrainian campaign to be executed by the Southwest Front Army, which is dominated by the Japanese Third Army

    This battle cannot be fought indefinitely. The last group of division commanders and brigade commanders of the Japanese Third Division finally handed over their command and performance to the Chinese armored forces, right?  The Chinese armored forces are the direct descendants of the Chinese king and the participating armies. Is it possible that in the end the Japanese troops gave up the hard-earned performance opportunities again?  How can this be called Japan¡¯s third military situation?  Why is it so embarrassing to call the Japanese Third Division?

    "Kikuchi-kun The town of Suja, where the Southern Detachment of the Western Route Army is assembled, is only 250 kilometers away from Belgorod. It takes less than a day to take the train from Sudya Kursk to Belgorod Kharkov.  Of course, railway transportation capacity is a huge test. There is currently a serious shortage of locomotives and wagons in the two states of Kursk and Voronezh But there are always ways. The key is to have troops and speed. I suggest that the front army headquarters make a decision as soon as possible.  !¡±

    The speaker was still Major General Muto Nobuyoshi, the initiator of the proposal to transfer the South Detachment of the West Route Army eastward, but his words obviously made the two chief officers of the Third Division, Oba Jiro and Hisashikari Takashi, nod their heads in approval frequently, attracting everyone's attention.  Along with Muto, they all turned to the commander of the Southwest Front, Utsunomiya Taro.
