    "Butit's not easy to handlethis telegram was not sent by the Central Army. It was in the name of the Front Army Headquarters and the General Campaign Headquarters, and it was signed by General Utsunomiya and Major General Hata Shunroku. We will send it back directly  I'm afraid I'll make things worse" Fujii Yukitsuchi paced back and forth in the conference room, feeling a little embarrassed.

    "But the telegram didn't say that this is just the suggestion of the Central Route Army. The Front Army Headquarters also wants to listen to the opinions of our West Route Army Then why should we be polite to Da Ting and the others? Just answer directly and say no, I will pull it down!" Major General Guosi will always be  So radical and straightforward.

    "This is not that simple. If General Utsunomiya and Chief of Staff Shunroku Hata did not agree with the plan proposed by the Central Route Army, then this telegram would not have appeared at all I think we still need to be cautious and stand on the side of General  Consider the problem from the perspective of the Western Route Army, not just from the perspective of the Western Route Army. The German Air Force may make a comeback at any time, and the main German forces in Kiev, Yekaterinoslav, and Donetsk have not reinforced Kharkov. This  Under such circumstanceshow to conduct the Ukrainian campaign really needs to be re-examined!"

    After all, Uchino Tatsujiro served as the commander of the Major General Brigade two years earlier than Kunshi Gochichi. What he said now was very level. This also made Ishihara Wanji, who was a little excited just now, slowly calm down and began to frown and think.  The true intention of the front army headquarters

    August 1, 1918, 10:00, Kharkov, the headquarters of the Central Route Army of the Southwest Front of the Allied Eastern Front Allied Forces

    "Your Excellency, Commanderthe reply from the West Route Army is here" Major General Shunroku Hata, the Chief of Staff of the Front Army and the former Chief of Staff of the Central Route Army, held a newly received telegram in his hand and opened the door and entered the room, perhaps because of Hata  Because Kharkov fell too quickly, the German Air Force, which was expected to make a comeback as soon as today, did not appear. The sky above Kharkov is still dominated by the Allied Air Force, but the mountains and wild fields east of the Uda River can be seen as far as the eye can see.  They are all refugees from Ukraine

    This made it impossible for the SE5 fighter squadron and dh4 fighter bomber squadron of the coalition's 2nd Fighter-Bomber Air Force to air raid and strafe the Ukrainian troops mixed in the refugee crowd. As for the German army, they had already withdrawn to Klas in one fell swoop along the railway line that had been repaired overnight.  Nora reached the southern area and quickly disappeared into the nearby forest. The coalition air force had reached as far as the outskirts of Yekaterinoslav, and returned after being intercepted by German ground anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine gun positions

    "What did Fujii and Ishihara say?!" The impatient Lieutenant General Oba Jiro, the former enemy commander of the Central Route Army and the commander of the Japanese Third Division, stepped forward and took the hand of Shunroku Hata before the front army commander Utsunomiya Taro did.  According to the telegram, only four people, Utsunomiya Taro, Hata Shunroku, Third Division Chief of Staff Hishikarataka and Oba Jiro, were present in the small conference room at the moment.

    The two brigade commanders, Kikuchi Shinnosuke and Muto Nobuyoshi, both returned to their respective brigade headquarters. The Kikuchi Brigade and the Muto Brigade actually became the occupying forces of Kharkov, carving up the old city fortress and the new city, and added  After several days of fierce fighting and huge casualties, after occupying the city, the work of receiving spoils, deploying defenses, providing relief, and replenishing ammunition, food and supplies was complicated. Of course, we also had to catch up on sleep

    "Sogar Cunning Fujii Very cunning Your Excellency, Commander The West Route Army said that the 2nd Chinese Armored Regiment and the 7th Japanese Cavalry Regiment of the Southern Detachment can be transferred to the direction of Kharkov  To fight, the premise is to merge the command systems of the West Route Army and the Central Route ArmyPlease ask Your Majesty the General to personally command the battle in the direction of Kharkov" Jiro Oba quickly read the telegram, scratched his head and handed it to him with an embarrassed expression.  The front commander who came to the top

    "Yoshi Fujii and Ishihara are very generous this time It seems that they have taken the overall situation into consideration" Utsunomiya Taro nodded frequently after reading the telegram. To say that he was unhappy would be a lie. At least Fujii and Ishihara were in the telegram.  Li did not complain or directly oppose the move of the South Detachment of the West Route Army to move south. He just emphasized that doing so would lose the suddenness and surprise of the advance in the direction of Sujia

    Although the 8th Federal Infantry Division can continue to undertake the operational intention of the Western Route Army's Southern Detachment to occupy Sumei, it will take more time. After the Southern Detachment is transferred eastward, unified command is obviously a problem that must be solved. For this reason, it is recommended that the Front Army  The headquarters directly commands all coalition forces operating in the direction of Kharkov!

    What does it mean to draw fire from under the cauldron?  This telegram jointly sent by Fujii Yukitsuki and Ishihara Kanji of the Allied West Route Army was the bottom line. When Oba Jiro and Muto Nobuyoshi of the Central Route Army were planning the mobile force of the West Route Army, Fujii and Ishihara's suggestions  Then we directly plan to cancel the establishment of the Central Route Army

    "Of course your Excellency the Commander and the Front Army Headquarters must coordinate the overall command of the entire Ukrainian campaign. As part of the Western Route Army's troops are transferred eastward to Kharkov, there will be difficulties in command and coordination. For this reason, it is recommended that the general directly command  The coalition forces in the direction of Kharkov, this is purelyIt's a mess!  "The one who jumped up to cry out for his division commander was the Chief of Staff of the Japanese 3rd Division, Colonel Hisashikari Taka

    Oba Jiro sat back in his chair with a livid face, breathing heavily, almost scolding Fujii and Ishihara in his heart. He just called the Chinese Armored Corps 2nd Regiment and the Japanese Cavalry 3rd attached to the West Route Army.  The total strength of the 7th Regiment is less than one-fifth of the front-line strength of the West Route Army. Fujii, on the other hand, directly intends to evacuate the command of our Middle Route Army and the Third Division by providing this one-fifth of the strength.  Can't do it?  How abominable!

    "Chief of Staff Hata, what do you think? Do we need to move the Southwest Front headquarters from Belgorod to Kharkov? I think after waiting all morning, the German air force has not made a comeback. In this case,  If the front army headquarters and the campaign headquarters are moved forward to Kharkov, can it also boost the morale of the frontline officers and soldiers?" Utsunomiya Taro took out a Havana cigar from the Chinese king and rubbed it while smiling.  Ask your deputy

    As for the reactions of Lieutenant General Oba and Colonel Hisashigaru Taka, they were completely within his expectations. Speaking of which, the structures of his own Front Army Headquarters and Oba's Middle Army Command Headquarters had some overlap. Before the war started, the two headquarters were in other places.  He was stationed in a place in Ergorod, and it was only after the war that Otani got the opportunity to take charge of his own affairs Otherwise, he, the commander of the front army and the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian campaign, would sit in the middle route army, and Chief of Staff Shunroku Hata would be on the side.  While making plans, the nominal commanders of the Central Route Army, Da Ting and Hisashi Karutaka, could only obey orders obediently.
