Chapter 907 Night Ambush

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

Their main force was the German-supported Mountain Division and the 27jr Infantry Regiment of the 9th Finnish Infantry Division. Some time ago, they were dispersed into small groups to perform guerrilla missions. This time, this was the first time that thousands of people gathered together.

Reus looked at the Finns. When the team was in action, no one knew how many of them were. Now, this was the first gathering, and it immediately showed how huge the guerrillas were in the nearby event.

From a professional perspective, the military appearance of these soldiers is not very neat, and they will definitely not even be able to walk properly, but this does not mean that their combat effectiveness is not high.

The Ninth Division was a temporary recruitment of troops. Most of these troops were hunters, just like Aalto who fought side by side with Reus, who was an old hunter.

At the same time, their weapons were also equipment to adapt to the cold areas. For example, not far from Reus, he saw a dog sled, with more than a dozen cold-resistant husky sticking out his tongue. Although it was named Erha in later generations, it at least shows that this dog is quite smart, and the smartest dog will commit Erha.

On the sled behind, there was a water-cooled Maxim heavy machine gun. This thing is definitely a killing weapon. In the cold Finland, Maxim can give full play to its advantages. Before shooting, just add snow to it. As the shooting continues, the snow gradually melts into water.

Such equipment exists in large quantities in the Finnish army, and is more warm than iron-burned tanks and armored vehicles.

"Now, we need to assign a task." Lieutenant Colonel Jo-Merkiniemi, the leader of the 27th Infantry Regiment, said: "During the day, we have delayed the Soviets' operations. Now, we need a powerful blow to let the Soviets know that they are surrounded by our main force. Our 27th Infantry Regiment mainly deals with the Soviet armored vehicles and their infantry, logistics convoys, and volunteers mainly deal with the Finnish tanks."

Lieutenant Colonel McKiniemi is a powerful general, and the 27th Infantry Regiment is the most combative. The division commander Colonel Alma Silasvouo and the division chief of staff Captain Alpomatinin are both famous generals from this regiment.

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

Moreover, the bulky Maxim heavy machine guns they carried were enough to penetrate the armored vehicles with armored bullets. However, they still did not have the appropriate weapons to deal with the tanks of the Soviet infantry division, and these tasks needed to be handed over to the Volunteer Army.

It is still a secret that the German army joined, so the current German mountain division has completely replaced the Finnish army's clothes, and at the same time, their name is still called the Volunteer Army.

The 75mm recoil-free cannon they have on hand is the best weapon to deal with tanks.

"Okay, no problem." said the Volunteer Commander.

"We set out now, secretly ambushing near the Soviets, launching an attack at midnight and retreating in three minutes." Lieutenant Colonel McKiniemi said: "Now we are in the right way."

The night in Finland is extremely cold. After moving forward for an hour through the snow, Vinogradov finally changed his mind to keep moving forward.

On such a cold night, marching is simply a tragedy.

"Stop moving forward, rest on the spot, make a fire to keep warm," said Vinogradov.

At night, if you make a fire, it is easy to become a target for snipers, but if you don’t make a fire, they will be frozen into popsicles. In comparison, it is better to make a fire.

Of course, Vinogradov knew these common senses, and at this time, he was already a little regretful.

If I had known this, I would have arrived so anxiously. At least I had to wait for the winter clothes to be released. After I had the clothes and tents to protect me!

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

Vinogradov watched the convoy stop, and looked at his subordinates, jumped out of the car tremblingly, looking for firewood in the snow, and branches to make fire.

"Teacher, we have several comrades' feet that are frostbitten." An adjutant said to him. At this time, a tent was temporarily set up next to the road in a dry ditch.

Vinogradov walked into the tent that was breathable everywhere and listened to his deputy's report. At this time, his brows were already locked.

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

What to do? Return? Of course not, the military order is like a mountain. Moreover, if you return because you don’t have the equipment to protect the cold, wouldn’t it be embarrassing to Marshal Voroshinov?

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

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

After going through tonight, my troops will be able to join the 163rd Division by tomorrow.

"Yes." The deputy stepped back.

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

The firewood was already lit, but it was not warm at all. They felt their feet gradually lost consciousness. At this time, they were all missing the night in Ukraine.

Time passes little by little, the temperature continues to drop, many people fall asleep, and many people will never wake up again.

Piles of bonfires burning next to the highway. If you look at them from the sky, they must be a very beautiful picture and are more romantic.

But now, no one feels this way.

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

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

The later the night, the more people slept.

They didn't know that around them, their eyes were already paying attention to them.

Reus looked at the watch on his arm, and the pointer was clattering, and it was about to 12 o'clock!

In the sky, stars are shining.

"Let's fire!" a voice shouted loudly.
