Daliu, the commander of the 7th Division who was responsible for the first line of defense of the Mannerheim Line, also learned a lesson after suffering a loss. He no longer sent large troops to hunt down the Soviet detachment. Instead, he deployed troops from the 7th Division.
He recruited hundreds of elite soldiers and formed more than a dozen hunting squads, trying to launch tit-for-tat counter-hunting.
This can be considered a relatively common response.
Because history has long proven that the most effective way to deal with special forces is to use special forces!
However, the final result left him greatly disappointed. The dozen or so hunting teams he sent out were all counterattacked and completely wiped out. No one came back alive!
After suffering this severe injury, Dalius was completely blinded.
Silavos was also helpless. This was the first time he encountered such an opponent.
However, the real threat to the Soviet squad is not themselves, but the powerful threat they pose to the support base!
In less than two days, following the No. 3, No. 4 and No. 7 support bases on the first line of defense, the remaining support bases on the right wing, the center wing, and more than ten support bases on the left wing were also attacked by the Soviet army.
The small team accurately positioned and guided the Soviet Air Force's bomber group to eliminate them at targeted locations.
In less than five days, more than ten support bases on the first line of defense were all destroyed by the Soviet army.
Along with the support base, a large amount of military supplies stored in the base were destroyed.
The situation of the Finnish army suddenly fell into extreme passivity, because the forward positions reported that the armored troops of the Soviet Northwest Front were massing on a large scale towards the front. From this, it is not difficult to see that after the air force kicked the door, the Soviet army's
The armored group will launch follow-up operations and launch a general attack on the frontal defense positions.
…
Leningrad, Soviet Northwest Front Headquarters.
Timoshenko walked into the war room with a red face.
Seeing Timoshenko coming in, the combat staff who were discussing in low voices in the war room stood at attention and raised their hands to salute Timoshenko. Timoshenko waved his hand, strode to the edge of the simulated sand table, and then
Staring at the sand table, he asked: "Have all the armored regiments, artillery regiments and infantry divisions arrived at their designated positions?"
Alexey immediately replied: "Yes, all the armored regiments, artillery regiments and infantry divisions have all entered the designated positions, including the flying regiments covering the attack. They are also ready to take off. They are just waiting for the telegram from the Wolf Fang Brigade.
, we can immediately launch a general attack on the first line of defense of the Mannerheim Line."
"Very good." Timoshenko said happily, "Then let us wait for the telegram from Langya with peace of mind."
After finishing speaking, Timoshenko walked into the lounge next door and asked the adjutant to pour him a cup of coffee.
If it had been three days ago, there would have been operational staff doubting whether the Langya Brigade was competent. But now, after seeing Xu Rui's commanding skills and the special operations of the Langya Brigade, all the people in the Northwest Front Army Headquarters
The staff officers have all shut up. Although many of them are still dissatisfied with their mouths, they are all convinced in their hearts.
Time passed quietly, and at nearly noon, a female officer walked into the war room excitedly, saluted Timoshenko, who had just returned to the war room, and said excitedly: "Comrade Timoshenko, Wolf.
Urgent call from the tooth brigade!"
"Here we come!" Timoshenko waved his fist and said fiercely, "We've got the detailed map of the defensive deployment of the Mannerheim Line! Haha!" After saying that, he waved his hand fiercely, saying to everyone who had been waiting for a long time.
Ivan, Alexei and other combat staff said, "Why are you still standing there, why don't you start working on the sand table quickly?"
Ivan, Alexei and a dozen other senior staff officers suddenly woke up from a dream and got busy.
Ivan first took the telegram from the female officer's hand, and then read to the telegram: "The right wing of the Finnish army, the left wing of our army, in Area 11, there are two infantry bunkers, civil structures, and two platoons."
Following Ivan's voice, Alexey and another senior staff officer immediately picked up two soldiers and placed them on the sand table. These two soldiers each represented a platoon. In addition to the soldiers, there were also eleven
There are two small squares placed in area No., which represent the two infantry bunkers.
Ivan paused and then said: "Area No. 9, one artillery bunker and one anti-tank gun!"
Alexei immediately picked up a miniature toy cannon and placed it in the area marked No.
Ivan continued to read: "In area three, there is an anti-aircraft machine gun position and two triple Browning anti-aircraft machine guns; in area one, there is a large bunker tool and a garrison company."
Seeing Ivan, Alexei and others busy there, Timoshenko could not help but feel a little emotional.
It has to be said that the Wolf Fang Brigade led by Xu Rui is really powerful. In less than five days, it not only accurately positioned and guided the air force to destroy all the support bases of the Finnish defenders, but also moved the Mannerheim line of defense to the ground.
Most of the first-level defenses were thoroughly explored, and detailed maps were drawn and sent back to the headquarters.
With this, the Soviet Red Army's air force, armor and artillery can follow the map and launch precise attacks on the Finnish defenders' fortifications. In this way, it will be easy to break through the first level of the Mannerheim Line of Defense! Really, Timoshin
I never thought that Wolf Fang would be so powerful!
Even before he made a request to Stalin to transfer Xu Rui and his Langya Brigade to the Soviet Union, Timoshenko never thought that Xu Rui would be so powerful and the Langya Brigade would be so powerful! Fortunately, it is
, Xu Rui and the Langya Brigade are not enemies of the Soviet Union, but friendly forces. This is really a fortunate thing.
Timoshenko hoped even more that China and the Soviet Union could always be friendly.
…
At the same time, the Third Flying Regiment was stationed on the outskirts of Leningrad.
More than a hundred pilots such as Boris and Valentin have already been ready to go. As soon as the order from the headquarters arrives, they can immediately take off in an Il-Fifteen or Il-Sixteen fighter jet to fly from another place.
More than 50 Tupolev heavy bombers taking off from two air bases provided escort.
The sun rises higher and higher, but the order is delayed.
Boris became a little anxious and whispered: "Will there be any accidents?"
"No." Valentin shook his head firmly and said, "There can be no accidents."
"That's true." Boris said with deep approval, "I have never seen anyone like Colonel Xu who can fly planes, tanks, and even fire cannons. There seems to be nothing in this world that he can't do.
That's not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that this guy can train a special forces force."
"No," Valentin said, "I thought only Germany had special forces."
While the two were talking, a long siren suddenly sounded over the airport.
It was not an air defense siren, but an attack siren. Boris and Valentin immediately jumped up from the ground, put on their goggles and flying hats, jumped into the cockpit on the wings of their respective planes, and entered
Immediately after the cockpit turned on the start switch of the aircraft engine, the propeller on the nose of the aircraft immediately began to rotate.
The airport's ground staff quickly removed the hook blocking the front wheel of the plane, and then signaled to Boris that he could take off.
After receiving permission from the ground crew, Boris pushed the joystick forward fiercely, and the fighter jet underneath him immediately made a roar and began to slide forward. A moment later, as Boris pulled the joystick fiercely, the fighter jet below him suddenly started to slide forward.
The nose of the plane suddenly raised, then jumped into the air, and then quickly climbed upward at a large angle.
Following Boris, Valentin and more than 20 other pilots also took off. At the same time, three other squadrons of the 3rd Fighter Flight Regiment also took off from the other three runways. More than 100 pilots took off.
The War Eagles took off one after another, and after completing a simple formation in the air, they roared towards the sky above Leningrad.
When Boris and the others flew over Leningrad in their fighter jets, more than fifty Tupolev heavy bombers taking off from two other air force bases also arrived, and then formed a formation again, and then formed a huge formation.
Crossing the sky above the city of Leningrad, roaring towards the Karelian Isthmus in the northwest.
After flying less than ten kilometers to the northwest, densely packed vehicles, tanks, and even artillery suddenly appeared on the originally white and empty snowfield. Thousands of T-32 tanks were lined up.
Four columns formed, puffing out billowing black smoke and advancing forward, plowing four eye-catching tracks on the snow.
Behind the assault group consisting of thousands of tanks, there are nearly a thousand cannons pulled by trucks or tractors, huge barrels pointing straight diagonally forward, thousands of T-type tanks and nearly a thousand cannons
, formed an unstoppable torrent of steel, rolling over the vast snowfield and heading forward mightily.
Ahead is the boundless virgin jungle of the Karelian Isthmus.
Hidden in the boundless primitive jungle is the Mannerheim Line of Defense that the Finns have managed for nearly half a century. The first phase of the Soviet offensive fell in front of the seemingly indestructible Mannerheim Line of Defense.
, but I don’t know whether the second phase of the attack will repeat the same mistakes as the first phase?
As soon as this idea came to mind, it was immediately driven out of Boris's mind.
Absolutely not. The second phase of the Soviet Red Army's offensive will never repeat the mistakes of the first phase. Not only has the commander changed, but more importantly, there is a Chinese Colonel Xu Rui and his Wolf Fang.
!Colonel Xu from China and his Langya Brigade provided crucial help to their Northwest Front!
Boris lowered his head and his eyes fell on the torrent of steel rolling forward on the ground again.
This time, let those damn Finns have a taste of the cruelty of the steel torrent!
