Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Lieutenant General, I think Samara made such a decision very timely. According to the battle report of the first phase of the Kharkov battle, the biggest weakness of the Japanese army was that the artillery fire at the brigade level was too weak, and the division  The first-level establishment is too bloated. The first stage of the Ukrainian campaign will obviously not be a large-corps operation. Therefore, the role of strengthening the mixed mixed brigade will be very obvious."

    The speaker was Colonel Itagaki, chief of staff of the cluster. Although Samara's decision was a bit sudden, for Itagaki, it felt like it was just the right time. The Donetsk cluster organization plan based on the Eastern Route Army had been announced.  The 12th Infantry Brigade strengthened the 12th Field Artillery Regiment to form the 12th Composite Brigade, commanded by Major General Morinari Morioka, while the 24th Infantry Brigade strengthened three federal field artillery battalions to form the 24th Composite Brigade.  The commander is Major General Isomura.

    The one who should be most dissatisfied with the mixed plan should be the Federal Infantry Group. However, Lieutenant General Yegorov, the commander of the Tsaritsyn Group Army, took it in stride. The two 75mm field artillery battalions of the 18th Infantry Division had not completed the replacement.  and 1 field artillery battalion of the 17th Infantry Division were strengthened to the 24th Mixed Infantry Brigade. This means that the 17th and 18th Federal Infantry Divisions will mainly assume the tasks of garrison and second-line reserves. This pair of recruits is  The two main infantry divisions that still use Russian-made weapons are of great benefit.

    Yegorov was a cautious general in the Southern Front of the Soviet Red Army. At this time, whether it was the Eastern Route Army or the Donetsk Cluster, the people in charge were all Japanese generals. Shibagoro's Itagaki's ability  Yegorov didn't know how, but he was actually very happy to see Shibagoro and the Japanese 12th Division commanded by Itagaki run into trouble, so that his own Tsaritsin Group Army would have a chance to perform.

    Although at the moment Yegorov only has the 16th Infantry Division commanded by Major General Maxim Alexeevich Inza as the main division, all the officers and soldiers are composed of former Tsarist Russian prisoners of war and former Soviet Russian prisoners of war, more than half of whom are  The main force of the Soviet 9th Army was transformed from a prisoner of war camp into a national defense force loyal to the Volga Federation. It had a full set of Chinese-made American weapons and equipment and sufficient logistical support. Although it only took half a month to rest and reorganize.  , but the 16th Infantry Division is already quite energetic!

    "Your Excellency, Commander, Chief of Staff, the Kharkiv Cluster used the two ** field heavy artillery regiments of the 3rd and 7th Divisions to form the Kharkiv Cluster Field Heavy Artillery Brigade. Our Donetsk Cluster  What to do? There is only one 12th Field Artillery Regiment, should it just be renamed the Donetsk Cluster ** Field Artillery Brigade?" Colonel Fujita Akutagawa, who commanded the 12th Field Heavy Artillery Regiment, said so.

    "This, the two 75mm field artillery battalions of the 16th Federal Infantry Division, plus one field artillery battalion of the 17th Infantry Division, form a 75mm field artillery regiment, which will be mixed with your heavy artillery regiment to form a cluster field artillery brigade.  , That¡¯s it, Lieutenant General Yegorov, Major General Inza, I hope you understand the difficulties of the cluster headquarters In the direction of Kharkov are two Japanese divisions and four federal infantry divisions. The lack of troops on our side is a last resort.  For it!¡±

    Cluster chief of staff Seishiro Itagaki answered Fujita's question apologetically while comforting Yegorov and Inza who looked unhappy.

    Sure enough, Inza, the commander of Yegorov's main division, was originally a strong soldier. Now, the two artillery battalions of his infantry division have been sent to strengthen the Japanese heavy artillery brigade. Wouldn't that mean that  His tiger had its teeth pulled out?  This guy stood up with a stiff neck and patted the table and said,

    "Your Majesty the Chief of Staff, since you know that the strength of the Donetsk cluster is only half of the Kharkov cluster, why do you still forcefully form a field heavy artillery brigade? Just a heavy artillery regiment is enough, no one has that  Why bother to imitate others when you are confident? My 16th Infantry Division must have its own artillery unit, otherwise it will not be able to complete the task of group delivery!" Although Inza's Japanese is not good, the translator and adjutant beside this guy told him  The Russian, mixed with Japanese and Chinese, was translated exactly as it was.

    "Baga, Major General, what is your attitude? Using the artillery battalions of the Federal Infantry Division to form artillery regiments and strengthen the mixed brigades and heavy artillery brigades is what the Samara Coalition Army Headquarters and the Southwest Front Army Headquarters meant. The Japanese Infantry Brigade was previously  The regiment can't fight without an artillery regiment. Doesn't your 16th Infantry Division know how to fire guns without a field artillery battalion? Did you have so many artillery in one infantry division in the Battle of Ufa?"

    Seishiro Itagaki really looked down on Yegorov, the defeated general. In the Battle of Ufa, Yegorov led the main force of 40,000 Soviet Red Army troops, including nearly 9,000 sturdy Cossack cavalry. He was suddenly defeated by the coalition forces.  A Siberian cavalry division was fed to death, and now a mere division commander under Yegorov actually dared to act like a big-tailed wolf in front of him. How could this be okay?  We must definitely suppress it!

    "Bring it down, Colonel Itagaki, Samara only asked us to form a mixed brigade and submit the formation plan and commander selection, but he did not say that the Donetsk cluster must beWhat kind of heavy artillery brigade should be formed? Besides, the cluster only has one Armored Corps III Regiment. Do you plan to mix the Dodge trucks of the baggage force into it and create a mixed armored brigade?  "Inza also didn't pay attention to Colonel Itagaki at all. This guy was also a commander in the Tsarist Russian army on the Eastern Front who had fought with the Germans. He was really not afraid of the Japanese!

    At this time, the commander of the 17th Federal Infantry Division, Denis Zubjevich Kikvedze, and the commander of the 18th Infantry Division, Oleg Nikolayevich Ust, also stood up and started quarreling.  Yangzi helped Inza get into a quarrel with Itagaki and Fujita. Lieutenant General Yegorov sneered and lit the pipe in his hand without standing up to stop the nonsense of his three division commanders. In the end, it was Shibagoro's fault.  The roar silenced the conference room.

    "Bagaya Deer, everyone, shut up! How rude are you to start fighting among yourself before going to the battlefield? Fujita, shut up! Inza, sit down too!"

    ? 12:00 on August 1, 1918, in the territory of the Volga Federation, Kamensk Yehtinsky, Southwestern Front Eastern Route Army Headquarters

    "Baga! What's there to argue about? The strength of the Donetsk Cluster only accounts for one-third of the Southwest Front, but it has undertaken the offensive task of the entire Donbas region in the Ukrainian campaign. It has insufficient troops and is stretched thin.  If we can't unite sincerely before the fight, how can we win this battle? I issued the military order in front of the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces and General Utsunomiya. If I don't succeed, I will become Ren, the East Route Army, and Donetsk.  Regardless of whether it¡¯s a group or not, if anyone dares to do something naughty to me, I¡¯m still capable of killing Ma Su with tears!¡±
