Chapter 716 (2) Use me in the first battle
"Have the phone connected? Is it connected to the phone connected to the front enemy command?" Voronezh turned around and shouted at several staff officers in the division headquarters.
"Report to the division commander, when the Ukrainians retreated, they also blasted the telephone poles on one side of the railway. At this moment, the telephones from the two brigade positions on the left and right wings of our division were connected, but they had not yet been connected to the front command headquarters thirty kilometers away from behind. It would probably take at least half an hour!"
"Chief of Staff, look at this matter. 2 Our brigade rushed over all the way. The stuttering energy on the road was very exhausted. I was exhausted just now. How could I ask someone to attack without stopping? I think I have to call back the front enemy command and request a temporary attack, at least until evening!" Voronezh obviously did not plan to follow the order.
"Teacher, please tell me that we can't fight against the Japanese. Didn't it mean that the Chinese armored forces and the 18th Japanese infantry rebel defeated the two main infantry divisions of the Ukrainian National Army in the Kharkov Forest? Their combined strength is not as large as our division. If I want me, even if we can't attack, at least we won't ask the enemy to counterattack and fight. "Chapter" is abrupt. Isn't it okay if we just maintain the attacking situation?" Division Chief of Staff Besklovni hesitated for a moment and suggested in a low voice.
"Uh? What do you mean? My 13th Infantry Division is the main force of the group army. I will win in the first battle. You kid's belly is twisting around. Could it be that I want to ask me to work and not work hard to deal with it? Isn't this throwing the face of our 13th Infantry Division into the Kharkov River to feed fish?" Voronezh said disdainfully.
"No, division commander, how could we think so? I analyzed that the front enemy command only asked our division to launch an attack, while the 6th Japanese infantry regiment on the left and right wings and the armored troops of Chinese Colonel Lu remained unmoved. Obviously, this attack was not a general attack on the whole line, but a tentative attack, with the purpose of finding out the troops and firepower configuration on the Ukrainian civilian defense line!
Division Commander, think about it, we only have the strength of one division, no matter how lucky we are, we can fight resolutely. If two divisions defend Kharkov, we will not be able to take advantage of it. If there are four divisions, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces is here, and it is not embarrassing that we cannot attack, right? I want me to say that as long as we avoid huge casualties and maintain the offensive, we will be invincible!"
The division chief of staff Besklovni was obviously also a thoughtful guy. After this analysis, his division commander Vorenezh calmed down. The guy held his chin and walked around the map for a few times, raised his head and said, "Who said that, my troops either don't fight, and if they want to fight, they have to set off firecrackers. In this way, we ask that the attack time be postponed to 15:30, so that our artillery regiment should be able to catch up. In addition, we ask the coalition air force to suppress the opponent's artillery position during our attack!"
"Sure! I think it's okay, I said, division commander, do we want it? Borrow an armored company from the left-wing Chinese armored forces to help us attack the opponent's position? Although it is not easy for wheeled armored vehicles to pass through trenches, the M2 large-caliber heavy machine gun on the armored vehicle is powerful. With these 10 armored vehicles, the threat of our attack will be greater, and the enemy will expose more firepower in a panic way, right?" Chief of Staff Besklovni turned his eyes and started his wishful thinking of borrowing troops from the left-wing Chinese armored forces.
"Um...you're your method" Beiyang 1917 . "Good, that's good, but I heard that Lu Huanyan's armored troops were also fighting hard in the Kharkov forest. I'm afraid that the other party would give up the troops and need to rest and have insufficient ammunition and oil, so they may not be willing to lend us troops!" Voronezh felt a little troubled when he heard this, and he felt that borrowing troops was not sure. If Lu Huanyan's armored troops were willing to continue attacking, would the Chinese colonel have to work as a wedding dress for his 13th infantry division? Won't he launching an assault from the left wing himself?
"Uh..." The division chief of staff Besklovni was speechless for a moment, thinking that the division commander was right. If Lu Huanyan's armored troops had the spare energy to continue attacking, let alone giving the credit to his 13th Infantry Division, the beauty of adulthood? His own assault from the northeast direction might make the opponent's position even weaker!
The guy's eyes turned, and he actually patted his head and thought of a mistake. "Teacher Commander, what do you think this is possible? We will transfer an infantry battalion to the command of China Colonel Lu to help them defend their positions. We only need him to lend us a wheeled armored combat vehicle in the armored company. We don't want the infantry in the car in China. In this way, he will at most borrow 2 drivers and 2 heavy machine gun shooters in each of our vehicles. It will have little impact on the armored troops during rest and rest. "Beiyang 1917" is not a big deal. We have 560 people in one battalion to replace 10 chariots and 40 soldiers. Can he always agree to this deal, right?"
"Good boy, you have figured out this method? I think it's possible, but I'd just add a sentence, if you have any credit, we will make a comeback when reporting it. This is worthy of Lu Huanyan and his troops, right?!" Voronezh slapped his head and raised the price.
Soon, five minutes later, the front command of the Route Army in the middle of the Ukrainian Battle replied, agreeing to postpone the offensive time of the Federal Infantry 13th Division from 15:00 to 15:30, and promised that during the offensive period of the Federal Infantry 13th Division, the coalition air force would keep at least one squadron of fighter jets patrolling and cruising over the air for air support.
Five minutes later, Lu Huanyan's armored regiment also called and agreed to send 10 wheeled armored vehicles from a Chinese armored company to cooperate with the offensive operations of the 13th Infantry Division, and agreed to accept the exchange of federal infantry commanding a battalion. In fact, Lu Huanyan's engineering supplies battalion has returned to the position of the 1st Ukrainian infantry Division to the north. The engineering battalion has even started to build a floating bridge on the Kharkov River again. ""The Colonel Lu intends to take the troops of Xue Juru, who is stranded on the opposite bank of the river, back to the left bank of Kharkov. Of course, more importantly, the capture cannot be avoided.
The second company of Fu Erpillar Armored by Xue Juru was fighting in the forest area of the right bank of Kharkov. The cannons of the entire 105mm Krupp howitzer battalion were captured, with almost half the ammunition. With nearly 600 Ukrainian gunners, engineers and baggage units captured, our Colonel Lu obviously planned to add a huge organization of 105mm howitzer battalion to his armored regiment. In fact, after entering the battlefield, in addition to these 12 intact 105mm Krupp howitzers, in addition to the remaining 75mm Krupp field cannons on the position of the 2nd Battalion of the Ukrainian Artillery.
