    This does not include the rush to transport armored vehicle fuel, mortar shells, light and heavy machine gun bullets, rifle bullets, grenades, military rations, medical rescue equipment and medicines and other various materials, including supplementary weapons and equipment, reserve troops, auxiliary civilians, etc.  Logistics transportation resources This does not include the roads and wagon resources occupied by the Volga Federation's local governments and industrial and agricultural material transportation in the three states of Kursk, Voronezh and Tsaritsyn

    "Look Chief of Staff Tanaka, the size of the Ukrainian campaign and the Southwest Front Army is now close to the transportation limit of the coalition's logistics support. If we continue to invest a large amount of troops, if the logistics cannot be supported, the troops will be hungry on the Ukrainian plains. By then,  On the contrary, the gains outweigh the losses" Wang Geng spread his hands with a look on his face like "I applaud your volunteering, but due to the limitations of objective conditions, I can only help you". Tanaka Yiichi choked up and said no for a moment.  Speak up

    "Sasaki what did the telegrams from Fujii and Ishihara of the West Route Army say?" Wang Geng asked the deputy director of staff of the war room who was standing silently in front of the battle map. Sasaki stood at attention when he heard the words and replied, "Report to the commander-in-chief,  Division Commander Fujii suggested that all the main forces of the West Route Army be transferred eastward, leaving Rylisk and Suja to be defended by the 8th Federal Infantry Division, and all other main forces joining the direction of Kharkov. To this end, the front army headquarters was required to directly leadotherwise  If so, then continue to maintain the original battle plan!¡±

    "What is the opinion of Lieutenant General Oba?" Wang Geng asked next. Sasaki paused and said hesitantly, "Lieutenant General Oba suggested retaining the establishment of the West Route Army. Commander Fujii can lead the West Route Army headquarters to sit in Relisk.  , Chief of Staff Ishihara was based in Suja, and only transferred the 2nd Chinese Armored Regiment, the 7th Japanese Cavalry Regiment and the 7th Division, plus the 7th and 9th Federal Infantry Divisions to Kharkov. Of course, the command authority  You can give it to General Utsunomiya!¡±

    Tanaka was the first to shout when he heard this, "What nonsense is Oba talking about? Of course Fujii and Ishihara are unwilling to hand over their main 7th Division to the command of others. In this case, they should simply merge the West Route Army and the Middle Route Army to form  The coalition's Kharkov cluster was brought down under the direct command of General Utsunomiya and Shunroku Hata! "

    Jiang Hongyu and Jiang Fangzhen both shrugged after hearing this. It is obvious that there is no need to continue to struggle with this issue. Concentrating the main force in the direction of Kharkov is a popular strategy. The difference lies in what strategic goals are to be achieved after concentrating the main force.  ?  Just simply defending Kharkov is obviously not enough?  So, use a fierce offensive to attack Yekaterinoslav, then attract the main force of the German army, and then withdraw all the way to Kharkov to defend?

    If this is the case, the best they can achieve in Kharkov is a stalemate. This is also the limit that the Southwest Front Army and Taro Utsunomiya can achieve without reinforcements. The only variable is that the attack of the East Route Army can weaken and contain the opponent's flank.  Just how many troops Can the commander-in-chief of the coalition accept such a goal for the Ukrainian campaign?

    Everyone's eyes in the conference room were focused on Wang Geng. Upon seeing this, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces put out the cigar butt in his hand, stood up and walked to the operational map. After re-reading the enemy and enemy situations and troop deployment on the map,  He turned around and said to everyone,

    "I decided to adjust the objectives of the first phase of the Ukrainian campaign, cancel the establishment of the Southwest Front's Western Route Army and the Central Route Army, and merge these two armies into the Kharkiv Cluster of the Allied Ukraine Campaign, which will govern the Japanese 7th Division of Fujii Yukitsuki.  "

    As he spoke, Wang Geng picked up the red and blue pencils, drew a circle at Rylisk and Sujia, the starting points of the two battles originally planned by the Western Route Army, and said, "After the main force of the Western Route Army is transferred eastward, these two places will be handed over to  The 8th Federal Infantry Division of the Kursk Army Group is on guard It is enough to deploy an infantry brigade in each place We will resolutely fight back the Ukrainian attacks. If the main force of the German army comes, then we will retreat all the way to Kursk to defend"

    Wang Geng did not think that the German army would ignore Yekaterinoslav, who was attacked by the coalition forces, and boldly attack Kursk. However, if they really wanted to fight, they would not be able to withdraw at that time In the heart of the Chinese king  I have a new plan

    This is not over yet, Wang Geng continued, "The Southwest Front Army needs to strengthen its firepower equipment. I plan to dismantle the existing establishment of the Seventh Division and the Third Division, form a Japanese mixed brigade, and provide every Japanese infantryman in the Southwest Front Army with  The brigade strengthens a field artillery regiment, and all artillery units are equipped with Dodge one-and-a-half-ton military trucks towing artillery. The personnel saved from streamlining are replenished to the infantry brigade, and the horses are replenished to the cavalry regiment and the logistics equipment regiment! "

    The bold idea of ??the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces temporarily silenced the conference room. Jiang Fangzhen and Jiang Hongyu were planning to form a mixed brigade. It was good, but where would the field artillery regiment come from?  Could it be that the field artillery of Tanaka Giichi's First Army wasThe team was mobilized?  Can this guy agree?  The Japanese Army's factions and mountain tops are no less than those of Beiyang. Obviously, Tanaka and Utsunomiya each have their own masters and can't pee in the same pot If this is done can Tanaka agree?

    With this in mind, Jiang Fangzhen asked, "Commander-in-Chief, during the first phase of the battle in Kharkov, the Chinese armored regiment also lacked sufficient artillery support. A six-gun 75mm field artillery battery was obviously too large.  Too weak If the Japanese brigade is formed into a mixed brigade, should the Chinese armored regiment also strengthen its long-range firepower? "

    Jiang Hongyu frowned and said, "Commander-in-Chief, where did the artillery and artillery that were strengthened for the Southwest Front Army come from? Is it possible that they were transferred from other troops? Artillery is the darling of each army, and it is slow to train it.  No one wants to read "Novel". ?br />

    As expected, Tanaka Yoshiichi stood up with a blushing face and objected, "Commander-in-Chief, each division of the Japanese Army has its own inheritance. If you said that mixed brigades are formed in brigade units, the divisions will  What about the first level? And where will the artillery regiment for the brigade come from? I can¡¯t just transfer the artillery of the First Army to the Third Army?¡±

    What¡¯s the problem with this?  General Tanaka, just now you were anxious to lead the Japanese First Army to join the Ukrainian campaign to show off your skills. Now you have really let your troops go into battle. Why, whose Hatamoto and Ma Huizhong are co-leading the Japanese First Army, except himself?  No one else can take command?  Or are you biased against General Utsunomiya Taro?  !  "
