Chapter 789 (4) Yonezawa Cavalry Regiment

Simon Petliula was furious by the situation on the position of the 2nd Brigade of the Volunteer 1st Division. Not only did the commander of the 1st Division, Husev, slipped from the north of the city to the west of the city under the guise of inspecting the position of the 1st Brigade, but even the commander of the 2nd Brigade Huzamov, even the commander of the 2nd Brigade, went there. At this moment, the only one in charge of commanding the entire brigade was the Chief of Staff of the 2nd Brigade, Shapal!

"Viacheslav Vicenovic Shapal! In the name of the National Defense Minister and the General Office of the Ukrainian National Army, I will promote you to the acting commander of the 1st Division and the brigade commander of the 2nd Brigade, and be responsible for commanding the defensive positions on the northern line. The key is to organize the machine gun firepower on the reverse slope and cooperate with the core position to attack the attacked enemies on three sides on the open ground in the middle. Don't worry about the left and right wings. The 150mm howitzer of this artillery will not blow down our 4-meter-wide stone city wall. As long as you persist until the evening, the main force of the German army will reinforce!".

Simon Petliula was able to win over the National Army as Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense. This guy is still quite capable of leading troops. The commander of the 1st Division and the 2nd Brigade commander actually left the post while inspecting the 1st Brigade position. This is because he not only wanted to go wild and even shoot these two weak-willed and shaken guys, but now it is more important to lift the Chief of Staff of the 2nd Brigade to command the troops to withstand the next wave of the enemy's attack!

Sending the phone down here, Simon Petliula yelled at the Ukrainian staff behind him, "Transfer my order, you personally lead the law enforcement team to the 1st Brigade position to arrest Husev and Huzamov. The enemy has actually escaped at the moment. The two bastards' division commanders and brigade commanders all removed their positions and take them back to the 2nd Brigade position to defend the bunker! Do not matter if you dare to resist and kill."

When the Ukrainian staff agreed to go, the German major general next to him applauded, "Simon, your handling of this is quite decisive, but the 2nd Brigade still needs supplements and reinforcements. This will help relieve the tension of the soldiers of the 2nd Brigade. I think a few more machine guns and mortars are transferred from the 1st Brigade to reinforce the positions of the 2nd Brigade... Um... I will transfer another squad from my guard. German soldiers and Ukrainian soldiers will surely boost the morale of the troops!"

"It's all that's the case, but Swen, can you transfer your 139th Infantry Regiment from the south, even if you only transfer one battalion, I see that the volunteer 1st Division is almost bouncing!" The Ukrainian Prime Minister was first happy under the praise of the German Major General, and then said worriedly. レ.siluke.♥句&c有bs;Kele

"The defense line in the Nancheng District is the key to defending Kharkov. If the retreat route is cut off by the coalition forces, it will be impossible to defend it. We only need to persist for another 3 hours, no, even if it is 2 hours to keep the South Line Railway unobstructed, I will be ready to transfer the main force of the 47th Division of the German Infantry Division back. At that time, as long as the Nancheng defense line and the railway bridge are still in our hands, I can push down the main force of the coalition that was attacked in one go!"

The words of the German major general made the Ukrainian Prime Minister happy when he heard this. The guy couldn't help but jump up. The head with the German-style steel helmet accidentally hit the rope handle that rings the bell. The big bell on the bell tower rang, which scared the German major general to squat down. The movement on the bell tower obviously attracted the attention of the coalition SE5 biplane hovering in the air. Two SE5s roared forward and backward dived from the 500-meter hollow. The long aircraft had already sprayed out a hot large-caliber machine gun bullet, which made the eaves of the bell tower splash and gravel flying around.

Seeing that the bell tower was no longer safe, the German major general and the Ukrainian Prime Minister had no choice but to retreat...

Speaking of which, the machine gun port that can threaten and defend the backscene wall of one side is the SE5 fighter that the coalition forces dive and sweep, but the angle of the shovel is quite limited. After all, you will accidentally hit the city wall...

July 31, 1918, 14:00, a dense forest on the west side of the five-kilometer railway line southwest of Kharkov, was in the 4th Cavalry Regiment.

"Baga... The artillery brigade lost 70%... With the cooperation of eight fighter jets of the coalition air force, you actually lost to the Germans two armored trains?! It's simply unreasonable! It's incompetent!" In front of the tent of the corps of the 4th Cavalry Regiment, the corps leader of the 4th Cavalry Regiment, was training several corps captains of the cavalry regiment on the face.

In the organization of the Allied Eastern Front Alliance, the cavalry units, which were originally weak, were particularly strengthened. The serious cavalry unit was under the leadership of three cavalry brigades and one field artillery brigades. This is much larger than the organization of one cavalry brigade under the permanent division of the country, which only had two cavalry squadrons under the jurisdiction of one cavalry brigades under the jurisdiction of the permanent division of the country.

Among the cavalry corpses belonging to the three divisions of the 3rd Army of Riben, there are one cavalry corpses with three cavalry brigades and one cavalry artillery brigades. Each cavalry brigade has four cavalry squadrons, one cavalry squadron has three cavalry squadrons, and one squadron has 70 people! It turns out that one cavalry squadron of Riben only has two cavalry squadrons, and the force inside and outside is one third less than that inside, so the cavalry brigades in the coalition are much more powerful than in the country.

The cavalry brigade of the 4th Cavalry Regiment, plus the brigade's direct brigade, each brigade has about 850 troops, and the total of three cavalry brigades has 2,550 people. In addition, the cavalry artillery brigade of the gang is under the jurisdiction of 3 artillery squadrons, 4 75mm 41 mountain cannons and 8 75mm Type 38 field cannons. As a member of the 4-unit pack horse division, the artillery brigade of the 4th Cavalry Regiment of the Yonezawa Cavalry has a maximum of 999 people and 720 horses.

In addition to the reconnaissance cavalry squadron directly under the wing headquarters, Yonezawa Kogoro's total strength was around 4,000. The nearly 300 cavalrymen that the 4th Regiment reduced its personnel in the Ufa battle have been supplemented with all reserve troops after the establishment of the Southwest Front of the Alliance.

Each cavalry squad of the 4th Cavalry Regiment is equipped with 2 60mm mortars and 3 Browning squad machine guns. Each cavalry squadron is equipped with an air-cooled Browning heavy machine gun, and each brigade has an 8-door 81mm caliber mortar squad.

The 4th Cavalry Regiment of Yoshizawa only had a 300-man engineer squadron, which made the speed of his troops building bridges far from being compared with the 3rd Engineer Regiment of the Muto Infantry Brigade that built bridges on the Kharkov River and the 23rd Muto Infantry Brigade. Moreover, because the Yudi River and the Lopan River are in plain hilly areas, unlike the Kharkov River flowing along the edge of the forest, the engineers of the Yoshizawa Regiment could not even be found nearby, so the difficulties in facing the 4th Cavalry Regiment were obviously quite serious.
