The position of the Ukrainian Artillery 2nd Battalion is located in the northwest direction, just like the tip of a person's open five fingers. It is almost 1.5 kilometers away from the position of the Ukrainian Artillery 3rd Battalion located at the second knuckle of the index finger. If the captured artillery of the Ukrainian Artillery 2nd Battalion can be used to attack the opponent's 3rd Battalion, then unexpectedly, it should achieve greater results, and at least it can restrain the intensity of the artillery fire pouring into the Japanese troops' positions on the left bank of the Kharkov River.

As for taking the remaining main force of the entire company, about 60 people, to the direction of the ring finger to block the opponent's most terrifying 105mm Krupp howitzer battalion, Teng Yun, he believed that as long as Teng Yun was bold and careful and did not enter or attack him unpreparedly, the possibility of defeating the opponent's medium-sized artillery battalion was quite high. The combat effectiveness of using one platoon to hit the opponent's one platoon, and using two platoons' forces to exert the combat effectiveness, is not 1+1=2, but at least = 3=4.

At least the moment when Xue Juru led the company radio station and a squad of soldiers back to the location of Fu Erzhu's troops, the medium-sized artillery battalion of the Ukrainian 105mm howitzer 23 kilometers away had not started yet. This gave Xue Juru time to rush back and find a way to use the seized 6 75mm field cannons to attack the opponent's 3rd artillery battalion to win time.

Fu Erzhu took five soldiers and five minor wounded men to take turns carrying two seriously injured people back to the occupied position of the Ukrainian Artillery 2 Battalion, and the five soldiers from half of the squad that Xue Juru left behind were scattered and guarded the position. More than 50 Ukrainian prisoners were strung into a long string of tied up in the woods behind the position, including more than a dozen minor and serious wounded men. The bodies of more than 140 Ukrainian soldiers killed on the position were still falling on the position, nearly 100 of whom were killed in the coalition air raid, while on one side were the German 75mm Krupp field artillery destroyed in the six air raids. "" Look

After the commander of the 2nd Armored Company, Fu Erzhu and the five soldiers of the 1st Platoon who were left here, he felt a little surprised. The soldiers were soldiers in his company. The company commander led the 2nd Platoon to attack the opponent's 3rd Battalion, but he suffered more than one squad. The commander of the regiment reconnaissance company Xue Juru led his 1st Platoon to defeat the 2nd Battalion of the opponent's artillery without any damage. Not only did he capture nearly 50 prisoners of the Ukrainian artillery battalion, he also seized 6 intact cannons. This comparison of the battle record also made Fu Erzhu a little ashamed.

What made Fu Erzhu even more ashamed was that he could not help the Ukrainian gunners who were captured. Perhaps the Allied Alliance's reputation for preferential treatment of prisoners was too far-reaching. These Ukrainian gunners who put down their weapons and surrendered, not only did not agree to fire at their own people with artillery for the Chinese winners in front of him, but also asked Fu Erzhu and his soldiers to explain what the three disciplines and nine points of attention meant. Can you forget the principle of not abuse of prisoners in the nine points of attention?

Fu Erzhu is a company-level commander of the Chinese warfighting army who is strong and has insufficient flexibility. This is also the reason why he lacks flexibility when leading his second platoon to attack the opponent's artillery battalion and turns skillful battles into tough battles like positional wars. At this moment, the Ukrainian captured gunner refused to turn the guns and fire at his own people. The girl was completely out of control and shot the prisoners and shouted that it was OK. This guy really dared not shoot, unless he killed all the nearly 50 Ukrainian prisoners, otherwise how could he explain to his superiors after the war?

The iron discipline of the Chinese military soldiers participating in the war was the military song "Three Disciplines and Nine Points of Attention" which was sung over and over again and again, and those who dared to violate military discipline were severely punished. The strictness of the military law enforcement team of the military police became even worse after going abroad. It was honorable to die at the gun of the enemy. He was punished for shooting prisoners. This was a result that no one of the soldiers participating in the war was willing to bear.

Fu Erzhu also thought of shooting the Ukrainian gunners indifferently and using the method of shooting them if they did not agree, but they were held back by the soldiers in his hands. The reason was very simple. From the beginning of its establishment, the Chinese military troops had instilled such a concept in the minds of every soldier. It was the duty of soldiers to obey orders and obey orders in all actions. However, on the issue of violation of discipline, every soldier has the right to make high-level thinking and judgment. This limited military democratic system has its own advantages and disadvantages, but Wang Geng never wanted to just cast his troops into murderous machines. Soldiers are soldiers and people. They should gradually cultivate them into flesh-and-blood soldiers who can think about flesh and blood. Even if they pay some price for this, they will be willing to do so.

When Xue Juru led the company and a squad to return to the location of Fu Erzhu's troops in sweat, the company commander of the 2nd armored company was commanding a squad of soldiers to adjust the positions of several cannons, and the five minor wounded men carried M1 Galand as the responsibility of guarding and guarding the prisoners.

"Company Commander Fu, why haven't these six cannons been fired? Why don't Ukrainian gunners be asked to operate the cannons? You can move the cannons yourself? Why do you provide prisoners with them? With such delay, the artillery brigade of the 18th Japanese Infantry Regiment is probably completely finished!" Xue Juru and the squad he led were exhausted and panting. They rushed over but watched more than 50 Ukrainian prisoners squatting on the wall not far away to watch, while Fu Erzhu was sweating profusely commanding the 10 soldiers moving several cannons trapped in the mud. The reconnaissance company commander couldn't help but shouting angrily and anxiously.

July 30, 1918 at 13:15 15 kilometers northeast of Kharkiv

"Company Commander Xue, Ukrainian prisoners refused to help us fire. So we had to drive the ducks and put them on the racks to operate the cannons. Although the two mortars had never served the 75mm Krupp field cannons, I think it would be a problem to fire the cannons as they were. I guess they would not be able to hit the target 1.5 kilometers away. Unfortunately, the mortar shells were exhausted. Otherwise, we would be better at using the mortar to beat the other party than to move the more than one ton of 75mm field cannons!"

Fu Erzhu, the commander of the 2nd Armored Company, pushed the cannon and was covered in mud and sweat. He stood up with a sudden expression to greet the regiment's reconnaissance company commander Xue Juru, who was also panting and sweating thoroughly in military uniforms, and explained embarrassedly.

"What plane is used for? If the prisoners don't work as coolies, they are called prisoners? The soldiers of the 2nd Company, stop for me with your company commander, and see if I teach you how to use prisoners!"
