Although Lieutenant Niujima, who was on the Japanese side, did not take the threat of the opponent's Borgman light machine gun to heart, the German gunshots quickly became dense, and the roar of mg08 heavy machine guns and 76cm infantry mortars sounded on the position...

It is not an exaggeration to describe Lieutenant Niujima Man's turn. At this 1 kilometer combat distance between the two sides, the power of the German 76cm light infantry mortars should not be underestimated. The power of the 45 kilogram mortar grenade explosion can almost catch up with the 75mm field cannon...

Lieutenant Man Niujima lost three subordinates in a row under the bombardment of the opponent's mortars and had to order a retreat. Although he was in the telescope, he looked at the smoke and dust at the end of the dirt road, Lieutenant Man Niujima judged that the enemy who caught up in front was at least one company, and it was not ruled out that there were 2 to 3 companies of troops...

The firepower of the German mortars and heavy machine guns was quite fierce and accurate, which made Lieutenant Niujima Man not even have time to ask Captain Yamashita to provide tactical guidance, but divided his team into two directions and retreated to the rear.

Of course, Yamashita Tomoto had already seen Lieutenant Man Nishima's troops in the telescope in an unfavorable situation. The captain of the wing immediately led the troops off the dirt road. After looking left and right, he chose the right wing as the direction of forward insertion and encirclement, and at the same time ordered the mortar team to seize the high ground...

Yamashita Fengfu only sent one team of troops to detour to the left, and used the two teams of troops to the right wing. The Japanese m60 mortar team quickly entered the position. Yamashita Fengfu used 6 m60 mortars to start bombarding the German mortars and machine gun positions on the landbags 1,200 meters away from the opposite side. At the same time, the 1st cavalry team joined the vanguards who had retreated by Lieutenant Niujima Manta and detoured to the right wing with a quick action...

Both sides of the war were quite trembling, but Captain Fengwen of the Yamashita was more confident. The German armored train carried limited infantry, at most 46 infantry companies, and his cavalry squadron was worth two infantry companies. The guy at the Yamashita was worried about the German heavy artillery on the iron armored train... Looking at the location where the two sides fought around was no more than 5 kilometers away from the railway line, which means that no matter how many German infantry was in front of him, once hesitated or entered a stalemate...

What the 45th Japanese Cavalry Squadron had to face was not just the bombardment and threat of the opponent's 76cm light infantry mortar, but the 105,150mm heavy artillery on the opponent's armored train. Position war was definitely not the choice of his own troops to lure the enemy, so Yamashita Tomoto quickly flicked his own cavalry squadron and retreated to the south to the right wing...

It was not only the Japanese commander Captain Tomomoto Yamashita who was trembling, but Captain Rommel, the German commander opposite, was also unstable. There was no fire support from the armored train 5 kilometers behind him, and the number of Japanese cavalry was obviously not small. Rommel judged that the opponent's cavalry squadron was just a vanguard and a outpost... The dust was flying behind him and could not guarantee the entire Japanese cavalry corps so he came over...

When the Japanese m60 mortar shells fell into the German machine gun positions and mortar positions like rain, Captain Rommel's order was to move south and retreat... Retreat the railway line east along the dirt road, which was not called seducing the enemy, it was called investing in the enemy... Rommel didn't even think that he could deal with a 4,000 cavalry corps against the Japanese army with only 4 infantry companies... The Japanese had more than 38 large caps in their hands... The shooting sound of the m1 Galand cavalry rifle just now was crisp and sharp, which made Captain Rommel dare not continue to fight...

The battlefields of both sides happened to be hills and woods with not too much slope, so the two troops that each undertake the task of luring the enemy began to move south side by side at a distance of 1 kilometer. It is said that the speed of the Japanese cavalry should be faster than that of the German motorized infantry, but Rommel's troops were closer to the railway line, so motorcycles and trucks could still be used in the hilly areas.

Both sides thought that the other party wanted to encircle their flanks, and both sides actually thought that they were leading the other party's nose. The distance between 800 meters and 1 kilometer made the two teams loom in each other's sight, and the sound of machine guns and the roar of mortars were intermittent. Fortunately, the Germans chased after him and refused to let go, and the heavy artillery of the armored train on the other party's railway line never opened fire in time. This is obviously due to the rapid, decisive and timely transfer of his troops...

Rommel also bit the bullet and bit the Japanese cavalry tightly. Although the opponent was in front of him from time to time, Captain Rommel could only think that the coalition forces were trying to intercept and encircle him. The advantage was that the opponent did not have a head-on assault. Otherwise, his temporarily pieced together motorized infantry company would not be able to stop the impact of a Japanese cavalry brigade. Rommel didn't even dare to let his troops move slightly closer to the railway line, for fear that the opponent's commander would make the mistake and give up parallel and intercept it in half... Rommel didn't know how he should continue the show.

The coalition reconnaissance plane also saw such a wonder when looking down from the air. Of course, the information about the German armored train moving towards Kharkov was sent back to the coalition command by the coalition reconnaissance plane. Unfortunately, the Yonezawa Cavalry Regiment had already started to move, so it was not able to receive this enemy information as soon as possible. Fortunately, the goal of the 4th Cavalry Regiment was still to transfer the German main force from the railway line and cross the railway. Therefore, whether the German armored train feinted northward or not, it would not affect the advance of the main force of the Yonezawa Army to the east...

In order to make the show more realistic, Yonezawa Kogoro even ordered the remaining cavalry brigade of Nishio Shou to follow the butt of Yamashita Fengfu's army to move south for a while, so as to hide the movements of the main force of the cavalry brigade as much as possible. The main forces of the brigade of the Iida brigade and Xiaoji brigade slowly advanced eastward, preparing to suddenly cross the railway to advance eastward while the German army was mobilized to the south to join the Muto Brigade...

Because Major Kimizu Kimizuki's cavalry artillery brigade was too heavy, the 4th Cavalry Regiment actually left the logistics supplies and the rest of the artillery brigade on the west side of the railway. At this time, the Yonezawa Regiment was actually divided into three states. The Cavalry Squadron of Yamashita and the 11th Cavalry brigade of Nishio Shou's Cavalry brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade brigade bri
