It was precisely because the 2nd Chinese Armored Infantry Company led by Xue Juru made the artillery position of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division on the other side of the Kharkiv River that the 18th Japanese Infantry Regiment on the left bank of Kharkiv gritted his teeth and resisted the Ukrainian counterattack while almost all of his artillery brigade was broken.

On the front position, the 6 and a half-infantry squadrons under the attack and suppression of the opponent's cross-strait artillery fire, and still fought to the death. Of course, if Xue Juru had not accidentally defeated the opponent's 3rd Battalion with the 6 captured artillery pieces, Takeuchi Bin and Sasaki Saburo had no more courage and standing, they would not be able to continue to persevere. ",

The three infantry squadrons commanded by Yukitaro Matsushita, who was responsible for the left detour, had to give up the attack and retreat to the west after being attacked by the opponent's cross-strait artillery fire. In fact, this was also the order issued by the regiment commander Masato Eizaki. Although this guy regretted it afterwards, at that time, Masato Eizaki was even more worried that not only would an artillery battalion be opened, but once the 105mm howitzer battalion also opened fire, his team would not be able to retreat.

While cursing his mother, Krafshenko, chief of staff of the 3rd Ukrainian Infantry Division, launched a counterattack to regain a section of trenches and positions occupied by Sasaki Battalion. Taking advantage of the Japanese troops opposite, the guy quietly withdrew the 1st and 2nd Ukrainian Infantry Regiment from the position. When he was on the position, there were 4 battalions and 16 companies. After fighting for a long time, there were still 12 Ukrainian companies that followed Krafshenko successfully withdrew. "" Look

In this battle, the 1st and 2nd Regiments of the Ukrainian Infantry Regiment suffered about 400 casualties, while the 18th Japanese Infantry Regiment of the attacking side, Sasaki Battalion suffered more than half of the casualties, and nearly 450 of the two squadrons of the Aoki Battalion came up. Half of the two squadrons of the Panasonic Battalion, which finally reinforced from the left, also half of the casualties. In the frontal offense and defense and competition, the Japanese troops paid up to 6 squadrons and nearly 1,300 casualties.

This is not counting. The two squadrons of the Panasonic Brigade that deviated from the left and the Fujita squadron of the Aoki Brigade who was the first to be lurking in the position, encountered the Ukrainian artillery fire on the other side of the Kharkov River behind them in the battle to attack the 3rd Ukrainian infantry Regiment, and suffered another squadron casualties. In this battle of the 18th Japanese infantry Regiment, the 18th Infantry Regiment of the attack, the 18th Infantry Regiment of the attacking party of the attacking party, the total number of 1,500 infantry and more than 200 artillery soldiers were killed. The squadron leader was killed in the battle of 3 seriously injured, 3 slightly injured and 2 slightly injured, and more than half of them were seriously injured!

Among the nearly 1,800 people who lost, 456 were killed, 489 were seriously injured, and more than 800 were slightly injured. The wing leader, Colonel Masato Kaki, had his cheeks puffed up and made his terrifying sound! Although this battle ended with the 18th Japanese Infantry Regiment occupying the Ukrainian positions, the other party's casualties were less than half of the Japanese army. What was even more angry was that the main force of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division had lost track by the Kharkov River.

"Haga! All of them are dead! Panasonic, how did you fight, your roundabout army? You are panicked as soon as the opponent shoots you? Also, you Sasaki, your machine guns and mortars are stronger than the opponent, why can't you even capture the opponent's position after paying such a great price? And you, Takeuchi Bin! My corps attached to my corps, why did you fail to break through the position in front of you after leading the reinforcements, but instead stay there, causing the troops to suffer repeated artillery attacks from the opponent's artillery positions on the other side of the river, causing such huge casualties!"

Captain Masato Kaezaki was furiously trained a group of brigades captains and corps who were looking down in front of him and did not dare to come out. Here, Major Sasaki also asked the Ukrainians to cut off a piece of flesh on his shoulders, and his arm was hanging on his back, and almost half of the three infantry brigades in front of him were injured or killed. The most tragic thing was Shopei Abe's artillery brigade. The artillery brigade of Shopei Abe with 8 guns with 364 guns had more than 200 casualties, and 8 75mm field cannons were destroyed, and the gunners suffered extremely heavy casualties.

"Old Captain, the Imperial Warriors are brave enough to stand up bravely for the country. The Ukrainians' positions are quite strong, and the opponent's troops are twice as strong as ours. Moreover, they are twisted and turned around and circle the firepower points on many backscene surfaces. Our temporary bunkers are not guarding against artillery at all. To be honest, the casualties are mainly due to the artillery fire that is not as good as the opponent. Fortunately, the other party has only one artillery battalion fired. If a artillery regiment fires volley, the 18th infantry revolver may be broken at this moment! But no matter what, we still win, right?"

The only one who dared to refute was the tyrant of the 18th Infantry Regiment was accompanied by Captain Takeuchi. This guy has someone in the Army Department, and his background is much deeper than the captain of Masato Kaichisa. What's more, the clamp tells the truth. The Japanese 18th Infantry Regiment has only 3,818 people in full, and the main force of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division, which is defending one side, the total number of the three infantry regiments of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division is more than 3,000. The offensive force invested by Masato Kaichisa has only 1,100 people on the front and less than 700 people on the flank. Even if the front is strengthened to more than 1,300 people in 6 squadrons, the number of people is still only a little more than half of the opponent.

In addition, the opponent's artillery has an absolute advantage. If you win a bad victory, you will have to burn the incense. Xie Aonzhao's protection. Xie Zhong** Xue Juru's sidelines cut off the Ukrainian artillery position at the most dangerous moment. Otherwise, it would be that the opponent would not be able to win or not, and the opponent would be able to withdraw from the enemy's large-scale artillery attack!

"Old Captain, I don't understand why a Ukrainian infantry regiment could not even stop the attack of a company of the Chinese armored forces, while a battalion could not even chew the position of the opponent's regiment!" Matsushitaro muttered from the side, but glanced at Sasaki Saburo with his head hanging on his back!

"Baga, Nakasa Matsushita, what do you mean? You led three squadrons to gnaw a regiment of the Ukrainians. I, Sasaki, led the 3rd infantry troop, gnawed two Ukrainian infantry regiments. I also occupied a section of the trench on the other side. How dare you underestimate me?!"

The angry captain of the 3rd Infantry Battalion, Major Sasaki, let out a huh, pulled out half of the command knife, and roared at the captain of the 1st Infantry Battalion, Yukitaro Nakasa Matsushita.
