Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When General Utsunomiya said this, the hearts of Oba Jiro and his deputy Hisashikari Takashi sank. They all knew that Shunroku Hata even abandoned such a prestigious and important job as director of the war room of the Allied Forces Headquarters during the Battle of Ufa and took risks.  He took a dh4 fighter-bomber to the front line and parachuted to the front line to personally command the operations of the 4th Cavalry Regiment. This commander rolled up his sleeves and liked to personally command the troops in battle. The general asked Shunroku Hata for his opinion. Isn't it a sure thing that the former enemy commander of the Central Route Army would be commanded?  Is the Ministry going to give overhead command authority?

    Unexpectedly, Shunroku Hata frowned when he heard this, shook his head slightly and said, "Commander, Lieutenant General Oba, Colonel Hisashi, the proposal of the West Route Army is of course out of the good intentions of unified command, but I have been just  Thinking about how to make better use of the victory in the Kharkov battlefield to expand the results To be honest, if the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the Western Route Army is transferred to Kharkov, it will be a bit exhausted, laboring and losing money. Sumy Prefecture in Ukraine  Located in the mountainous area of ??central and northern Ukraine, the terrain poses many obstacles to the advancement of armored units, but the cavalry units are more adaptable to fighting there"

    "Hmm what you said is not unreasonable, but since it is a mountainous and hilly area, letting the 8th Federal Infantry Division take on the combat mission in the Suja direction can also achieve the goal. The source of troops of the 8th Federal Infantry Division is from the Kursk Oblast.  Mainly in nearby towns, they are familiar with the local customs and geographical environment If only the 2nd Armored Regiment is transferred to Kharkov, it always feels that the strength is still a bit insufficient. Kikuchi and Muto brigade here will not go through rest and replenishment  Obviously it is unable to continue to undertake major combat missions!¡±

    Utsunomiya Taro lit his cigar on the match that Hisashikari Takashi reached out to strike. After taking a few strong puffs, he asked a little hesitantly.

    On the side, Jiro Oba and Takashi Hisashikari glanced at each other. At this moment, they were looking at Shunroku Hata, the Chief of Staff of the Southwest Front Army. They didn't know what he was planning to do when he came to the chassis. Didn't he plan to transfer the South Detachment of the West Route Army?  In other words, you don't intend to instigate General Utsunomiya to personally command the coalition forces in the direction of Kharkov?  But one thing everyone knows is that the Japanese 3rd Division of the Central Route Army only has artillery units that can be used. With two infantry brigades suffering such casualties without ten and a half days of rest and replenishment, it will be difficult to continue the attack!

    "General I have an immature idea. In view of the first phase of the battle in Kharkov, the main German army did not come up with reinforcements, and the Germans retreated very quickly. After the plan to siege Kharkov and bring reinforcements failed,  Should we be more bold, use Kharkov as the base camp and advance base for the next stage of operations, quickly advance to the southwest with the main force, and prepare to surround Ekaterinoslav as the next Kharkov? I believe  The Germans will never give up Yekaterinoslav easily"

    Shunroku Hata walked to the wall of the small conference room, picked up a red and blue pencil from Kharkov along the southwest railway line, and drew a big arrow pointing southwest to Yekaterin, an important town on the Dnieper River.  Noslav, then drew a circle and circled this important port town!

    "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff I don't understand what you mean Do you want to transfer the Southern Detachment of the Western Route Army to the direction of Kharkov? If you have such a big appetite, just send it to Yekaterino, 190 kilometers away.  Slavic is the next target I am afraid that the deployment of only the 2nd Armored Regiment and the 7th Japanese Cavalry Regiment is far from enough. The two main divisions of Hermann von Francois's 29th Reserve Infantry Corps can  Staying in Yekaterinoslav!"

    Oba Jiro is a little confused. If the enemy force in the Battle of Kharkov left the deepest impression on the Central Army and the Japanese Third Division, it must be the 47th German Reserve Infantry Division. An infantry regiment of the other side.  The combat effectiveness far exceeds that of an infantry regiment of the Japanese army. Even when the coalition forces have air superiority, the German army still dares to invest troops in local and night counterattacks, and can attack, defend, and withdraw. After this battle,  The German Army, the former big brother, left an indelible impression and pain on the Japanese Army!

    As the former enemy commander of the Central Route Army and the commander of the Third Division, no matter how confident Da Ting is, he does not think that with the remaining strength of the Central Route Army, he can march straight into Yekaterinoslav to challenge two fully equipped Germans.  Infantry divisions are certainly powerful units used by Chinese armored forces in field operations, but armored vehicles cannot be compared with tanks after all. If they really want to attack the German trench fortress positions, their role is still limited. The German divisional artillery equipment  However, the 105mm light field howitzer and the 150mm heavy field howitzer, no matter which type of artillery fire, cannot be directly competed by the Chinese fd17 armor of the coalition forces!

    "Shunroku Hata There are no outsiders here. If you have anything to say, just say it I am responsible for everything. Why are you hesitating?" Utsunomiya Taro, commander of the front army, was obviously a little anxious. During the Battle of Ufa, he was almost the deputy chief of staff of the coalition forces.  For a man who only cares about the scenery, Shunroku Hata, the former Director of the Operations Room of the Allied Forces Headquarters, does all the work that the Chief of Staff should do.??, and the commander-in-chief Wang Geng is also a man who does everything by himself and shakes the goose feather fan

    Taro Utsunomiya bet his own honor, the honor of the Japanese Third Army, and the Japanese Army on the Ukrainian campaign. Of course, the formulation of the combat plan must rely on outstanding staff talents like Shunroku Hata, but the General will never  He would stand by and watch. He hoped that every victory in the Ukrainian campaign would be won under the command of his headquarters. But why didn't Shunroku Hata discuss it with him? He just patted his head and talked about immature things.  Thoughts This made Utsunomiya Taro a little frustrated and suffocated.

    The Chief of Staff of the Third Division, Colonel Hisashikari Taka, is much older than Shunroku Hata. Although Takashi Hisashikari, who graduated from the 16th class of the University of Japan, is currently only the Chief of Staff of the Colonel Division, his promotion to Major General after the Ukrainian War is basically certain.  , in Wang Geng¡¯s previous life, Hishikari Taka and Muto Nobuyoshi Yiy¨¤ng were both outstanding men who served as commanders of the Kwantung Army twice. Even now, in the Japanese Army, the Chief of Staff of the Third Division Hishikari Taka is known as the so-called  Known for his "seriousness and courage"

    But at this moment, when Lieutenant General Oba and General Utsunomiya were urging Chief of Staff Hata Shunroku, Hisashikari Takashi did not join in the booing, but was thinking quickly, what kind of medicine was sold in Hata Shunroku's gourd?
