"Commander-in-Chief, do you need to prepare a mobile force in advance and prepare to join the Ukrainian battlefield? According to previous chess deductions, if the German main force attacks Kharkov, our troops and firepower are not superior. Is it enough to be a stalemate?" Jiang Fangzhen, deputy chief of staff of the coalition forces, pondered and put forward his own ideas.

When Tanaka Yoshiichi heard this, his eyes lit up again, and he patted his chest and said, "Commander-in-Chief, Chief of Staff Jiang's suggestion is very good. I think what will happen if I transfer the 8th Army of the Mechanized Army?"

Wang Geng was surprised when he heard this. Jiang Hongyu and Jiang Fangzhen laughed. Jiang Hongyu teased, "It's almost the same to transfer five Chinese mixed voyages to cross the river and move westward. General Tanaka, your mechanized Eighth Army has not been transported on the Siberian Railway at this time. How could it be put on the battlefield?!"

August 1, 1918, Kursk Oblast, Volga Federation, Relisk, the command of the West Route Army of the Southwest Front

"Secretary Commander... What's going on! Why is Samara going to break up the first-level organization of our division??!" The atmosphere in the conference room of the railway station building was quite serious. Everyone present was the generals of the Japanese 7th Division, the commander-in-chief of the Western Route Army, and Yukichi Fujii, the 7th Division Division, sat on the side with a pale face. Standing in the middle was Yukichi Watanabe Watanabe, the chief of staff of the 7th Division, who graduated from the 17th Division of the 7th Division. He was originally a military officer from the Embassy in the Netherlands. When the Siberian marched by Yukichi Fujii, he came to serve as the chief of staff of the division. He was only 44 years old this year.

The position of Chief of Staff Watanabe is awkward and the Chief of Staff of the Third Division, Colonel Ryukari Ryukari's Chief of Staff. Although the two were chiefs of staff of the Seventh and Third Divisions, the former chiefs of staff of the Western Route Army and the Central Route Army were Colonel Kanir Ishihara and Major General Shinji Hata who were airborne from the coalition headquarters, especially Shinji Hata, and even served as chiefs of staff of the Southwest Front of the coalition... The importance Samara and the Japanese Third Army attached to the entire Ukrainian battle can be seen!

Of course, it can also be considered that this is the need for the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces or General Utsunomiya to directly control the following two divisions, and it can also be considered that it is the need for the Southwest Front to coordinate the relationship between the Japanese division, the Federal Army and the Chinese armored forces.

The telegram was sent directly to the Southwest Front Army's army's army and copied to the Southwest Front Command. Strictly speaking, starting from the Samara Joint Army's headquarters issued the order, the organization and command structure of the Western Route Army no longer exists. Of course, the coalition headquarters did not interfere with Utsumiya Taro's personnel appointment power. The head of the mixed brigade group and the establishment of the Southwest Front Command were still reported to the record after the decision was made by the Southwest Front Command...

The two infantry brigade commanders here are much more complicated. In peacetime, the Japanese brigade-level generals were actually quite leisurely, because the basic combat unit of the Japanese army was division, and the corps was the backbone of the combat. In contrast, the brigade commander did not have many opportunities to stand alone, and spent most of his time doing errands. Now, the first phase of the Ukrainian campaign has just started a few days ago. As soon as Kharkov was occupied, the coalition headquarters would reorganize the troops on the front line... This caught everyone off guard...

"Chief of Staff Watanabe... do you think... could it be Dating and the others who are making trouble here? Because we are unwilling to hand over the command of the Western Route Army, this guy simply cut off the fire from the bottom of the cauldron, suggesting that the coalition headquarters dismantle the first-level division organization and form a mixed brigade to undermine you and me?!" The commander of the Fujii Division said with a gloomy face.

"Uh... this... is hard to say...but both brigades of the Third Division in Dating were disabled. No matter how they were reorganized into a mixed brigade, his 3rd Division replenished their troops from other places. This had no effect on the 3rd Division, but our 7th Division was fully equipped and had not yet taken the battle, so we disarmed the command of the division level? I think we must object to the Front and the Alliance Headquarters! What do you think?!"

While answering the inquiry from his division commander, Colonel Watanabe turned his gaze to the brigade commanders of the two main brigades. Unexpectedly, the commander of the brigade of the 13th Japanese Infantry Brigade, Kiyoshiki and the commander of the 14th Brigade of the brigade of the 14th Brigade, both looked at each other, and an awkward smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, but neither of them made a statement at the first time!

Fujii Yukichi hummed in dissatisfaction when he saw this, knowingly, how could these two brigade commanders oppose increasing the brigade artillery firepower and expanding it into a mixed brigade? Japanese generals generally look forward to the opportunity to stand alone. Since the division has a complete long-range artillery firepower structure, the Japanese infantry brigade has very few opportunities to fight alone. Now the coalition headquarters has sent timely rain and spring breeze. As the brigade commander, the pair of treasures, Guoshi and the Indori, are not too happy, so how could they object?

The brigade commander who does not want to be a division commander is definitely not a qualified brigade commander. However, the brigade commander who has not become a division commander is obviously not enough to be a qualified division commander!

"I'm all mute? Kanto and Naito, did you feel so stunned when you heard that you want to expand into a mixed brigade? I can tell you that the mixed brigade is a member of the Southwest Front Army, not an Imperial Army, and the candidate for the head of the mixed brigade was proposed by the division!" Fujii Yukichi said with gritted teeth.

"Hey! Where is this? The division commander, chief of staff, and the 13th Infantry Brigade of course accepts the command of the division... But it is always a good thing to say that the artillery battalion of the Federal Infantry Division is strengthened to us... Is this always a good thing? Besides, we can't twist our arms. The Front Command has already coordinated with the Samara headquarters. I want me to tell that the telegram draft in the Chief of Staff is not a draft for soliciting opinions, but it is just an order from the coalition command?"

Major General Wu Qi of the National Police grinned, Naoji's temper was fully exposed. Whether it was the infantry brigade or the newly formed mixed brigade, the main force was the Japanese brigade. He, the major general, transformed himself into a commander of the mixed brigade, and there was no suspense in this matter... You can't let the Fujii Division commander personally serve as the commander of the mixed brigade? This is unscientific! Therefore, this master was not scared by his immediate superior.

The commander of the 14th Infantry Brigade, Tatsujiro Ono, said a little dissatisfied at this time, "Second Commander, I think what Guosijun said is right. Now the 7th Division and the 3rd Division have a total of 4 infantry brigades, so they have to form 4 mixed brigades, which must be unified under the command of this new "Kharkov Cluster" command. If you ask me, you and the Chief of Staff must serve important positions in the Cluster Command, such as the Cluster Commander or Deputy Commander. The mixed brigade below must have several brigade commanders taken up..."

"You are talking simple... Kharkov is now the lead role of the Third Division in the Court. If our 7th Division is rushing over, what good position can we get in the cluster command center? Wouldn't the 7th Division Division headquarters be wiped out?" Colonel Watanabe, chief of staff of the division, said angrily.
Chapter completed!
