Chapter 907： Night ambush

"Tonight, we are going to give the Soviets a big feast." In the woods, more guerrillas gathered, and each of them had excitement on their faces.

Their main force is the German-supported mountain division and the 27th JR Infantry Regiment of the Finnish 9th Infantry Division. Some time ago, they dispersed into small units to perform guerrilla missions. This time, thousands of people gathered. This is the first time.

Royce looked at the Finns. No one knew how many people there were when the squad was active. Now, this is the first gathering, and it immediately shows how huge the guerrillas are active nearby.

From a professional point of view, the military looks of these fighters are not very neat, and they certainly can't even move forward. However, this does not mean that their combat effectiveness is not high.

The Ninth Division is a temporary recruiting unit. Most of these units are hunters, just like Aalto who fought alongside Royce, an old hunter.

At the same time, their weapons are all geared to cold regions. For example, not far from Royce, he saw a dog sled, dozens of cold-resistant huskies, sticking out their tongues, although In later generations, he was given the name Erha, but at least it shows that this kind of dog is quite smart, and the smartest dog will commit the second.

On the sled behind, there is a water-cooled Maxine heavy machine gun. This is definitely a weapon for killing people. In the cold Finland, Maxine can give full play to his advantage. Before shooting, just add it to it. The snow is enough, and as the shooting continues, the snow gradually melts into water.

Such equipment exists in a large number in the Finnish army, and it is even warmer than tanks and armored vehicles.

"Now, we need to assign a task." Lieutenant Colonel Yo-Mackiniemi, the commander of the 27th Infantry Regiment, said: "During the day, we have delayed the actions of the Soviets. Now, we need a powerful blow to make the Soviet Union. People know that they have been surrounded by our main force. Our 27th Infantry Regiment mainly deals with Soviet armored vehicles and their infantry, logistics convoys, and the Volunteers mainly deal with Finnish tanks."

Lieutenant Colonel McKiniemi is a strong general, and the 27th Infantry Regiment is the most combative. The commander of the division, Colonel Alma Silasbuo, and the division chief of staff, Captain Alpomartinen, are all famous generals from this regiment.

Therefore, the equipment of their regiment is also the most advanced. For example, the entire regiment of more than 1,800 people is equipped with Sumi 1931 submachine guns. In the woods, this weapon is quite effective.

Moreover, the heavy Maxim machine guns they carried, coupled with armor-piercing shells, were enough to penetrate those armored vehicles, but they still did not have the appropriate weapons to deal with the tanks of the Soviet infantry division. These tasks need to be handed over to the volunteers.

It is still a secret that the German army joins. Therefore, the current German mountain divisions are completely dressed in the clothes of the Finnish army. At the same time, their names are still called the Volunteers.

The 75mm recoilless gun they have is the best weapon against tanks.

"Okay, no problem," the volunteer commander said.

"We set out now, secretly lie in ambush near the Soviets. At 12 midnight, we attacked together and retreated three minutes later." Lieutenant Colonel McKinemi said: "Now we check the watch."

The night in Finland is extremely cold. After moving on for an hour through the snow light, Vinogradov finally changed his idea of ​​moving on.

On such a cold night, the march is simply a tragedy.

"Stop going, rest on the spot, light a fire to keep warm," Vinogradov said.

At night, if they light a fire, they are easy targets for snipers, but if they don’t light a fire, they will be frozen into popsicles. In contrast, it’s better to light a fire.

Of course Vinogradov knew this common sense, and at this time, he already regretted it a bit.

If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't rush to it so eagerly. At least I have to wait for the winter clothes to be delivered, after I have warm clothes and tents!

Now, they don't have these equipment at all.

Vinogradov watched the motorcade stop, watched his men, tremblingly jumped out of the car, looking for firewood in the snow, and branches to make a fire.

"Master, we have several comrades who have had frostbite on their feet." An adjutant said to him. At this time, a tent was temporarily set up in the dry ditch beside the road.

Vinogradov walked into the ventilated tent and listened to his deputy's report. At this time, his brows were already tightly closed.

They are still wearing summer boots, which are not anti-freeze! With the advent of night, the temperature is further decreasing.

How to do? return to? Of course not, the military order is like a mountain, and if you return because you don't have the equipment to protect against the cold, wouldn't it be a shame for Marshal Voroshinov?

"Find more firewood and let the soldiers gather around the campfire to keep warm." Vinogradov said, "Also, send more sentries to prevent sneak attacks."

What happened in the daytime today is still vivid. He has lost hundreds of soldiers. Now, at night, it should be a good opportunity for guerrillas to attack. The Finns will not let it go.

After going through tonight and waiting until tomorrow, my troops will be able to join the 163rd division.

"Yes." The deputy stepped back.

It was cold at night in Finland. A cold wind blew in and rolled up countless snow on the ground, blowing in everyone's neck. They felt their hearts trembling.

The firewood had been lit, but it was not warm at all. They felt their feet gradually lose consciousness. At this time, they all missed the night in Ukraine.

As time passed a little bit, the temperature continued to drop. Many people fell asleep, and many people never wake up again.

Piles of bonfires are burning right beside the highway. If you look from the sky, it must be a very beautiful picture, more romantic.

But, now, no one feels this way.

As time went by, the entire army became lifeless, many people fell asleep, and even the firewood was extinguished, no one added it.

In the end, even the sentry was numb in the cold and climbed onto his machine gun.

In the middle of the night, people sleep more deeply.

They don't know that around them, a pair of eyes are already paying attention to them.

Royce looked at the watch on his arm, the pointer was chucking, it was almost 12 o'clock!

In the sky, stars twinkled.

"Fire!" a voice shouted loudly.
