Early that morning, Andre came to the officers' club with a dark face.
Although the Langya Brigade has been in the Soviet Union for some time and helped the Soviet Red Army win a great victory, Andre's heart has never been able to open up. Every time he sees Xu Rui and the members of the Langya Brigade,
None of them had a good look on their faces. They were also very unhappy when they were ordered to pick up Xu Rui this time.
However, no matter how unhappy I felt, I still had to obey Timoshenko's orders.
As soon as he walked into the club, he saw Xu Rui running circles around the playground, and Diana was also running and running. The key point was that Diana was very revealing, only wearing a set of tight-fitting fitness clothes, and a pair of
The perfect body is fully exposed. In Andre's opinion, this is the temptation of Chi Guoguo.
This was very unbearable for Andrei, who had a very serious tendency toward Slavicism.
At that moment, Andre's face became more and more embarrassed, and he shouted from a distance: "Colonel Xu!"
Xu Rui stopped and looked at Andre coldly. Andre put on a bad face. Naturally, he couldn't give him a good look. He didn't owe Andre anything and had no obligation to smile at him.
Welcome, right? And if Andre dares to say something rude, he will never mind beating him up again.
Andre felt the fierce power exuding from Xu Rui's body, and his momentum suddenly calmed down.
Diana also stopped and stood beside Xu Rui calmly, without any intention of dissuading her. Because of Xu Rui, she also hated Andre very much. When Xu Rui didn't come, she didn't
I didn’t think Andre was that annoying, but now he seems to be annoying no matter how much he looks at it, it’s simply extremely annoying.
This is true to the old saying, there is no harm without comparison.
After being furious for a long time, Andre still didn't dare to take action.
At that moment, Andre said dullly: "Colonel Xu, commander, please come over."
"I know, wait." Xu Rui snorted, turned around and went back to the dormitory to take a shower.
Diana also hurried back to the dormitory to take a shower, because she was Xu Rui's full-time translator, and she had to be by Xu Rui's side at all times except sleeping at night or going to the front line to fight.
Forty minutes later, Andre drove Xu Rui and Diana to the headquarters.
After capturing Helsinki, the capital of Finland, the headquarters of the Northwest Front had moved forward to Helsinki, but there was still a garrison in Leningrad.
In the detention center, Timoshenko, who had just returned from Moscow, met Xu Rui.
After seeing the ceremony, Xu Rui asked: "Comrade Timoshenko, what did Comrade Stalin say?"
Before Timoshenko left for Moscow to report to Stalin, Xu Rui had already made a request to him, asking him to convey to Stalin the request of their Spike Brigade to return to the country, so Xu Rui asked.
To be honest, Xu Rui is really eager to return home and doesn't want to stay in the Soviet Union for a moment.
Although Yan'an had sent them a telegram instructing them to stay in the Soviet Union for another month, Xu Rui still hoped to return to China as soon as possible.
Because Wang Husheng had just sent him a secret message, saying that the Baotou Industrial Zone under construction had been attacked by Japanese special forces, and a meat product canning factory under construction had been damaged, so the coordinates and orientation of the entire industrial zone were very unclear.
It may have been exposed, which is not a good sign.
What's more, the whole of Suiyuan has suffered a severe snowstorm once in a century, so in the next few months, the situation of the Chahar Independent Regiment will become unprecedentedly difficult. At this time, Xu Rui certainly wants to intervene.
Get on your wings and immediately fly back to Baotou, together with the entire regiment of soldiers and all the people in Baotou.
Timoshenko immediately said with astonishment on his face: "Comrade Xu Rui, didn't you receive the telegram from Yan'an?"
"Received." Xu Rui frowned, "But we still hope to return to China as soon as possible, because the current situation in Baotou is not optimistic. I have to go back as soon as possible to face the challenge with my comrades."
Timoshenko said: "However, the situation in Northern Europe is not optimistic. We in the Soviet Union also need your help. All Communist parties in the world are one. You cannot only care about your domestic comrades and ignore your international comrades. This is your duty."
It is a manifestation of a narrow-minded lack of internationalist vision, which is unacceptable, my comrade."
Xu Rui stared at Brother Timoshenko with his mouth agape, and just wanted to scold him for being a traitor.
Being able to say shameless things in such a high-sounding way is also a skill.
Timoshenko continued to complain: "Really, I won't lie to you, the situation in Finland is deteriorating rapidly."
After a pause, Timoshenko continued: "I just received an urgent telegram from the frontline command, saying that the Finnish puppet troops have been coerced by the Swedish Defense Forces, and more than a hundred soldiers from Turva to Tampere have
On a fifty-kilometer-wide front, a full-line attack was launched against our army and the Finnish Defense Forces, and the Finnish Defense Forces on the front line could hardly withstand it."
The Finnish Defense Forces Timoshenko was referring to were the newly formed Kuusinen government forces, and the Finnish puppet troops he was talking about were the real Finnish Defense Forces.
Xu Rui was stunned after hearing this, how could this happen?
Launching a full-line offensive on a front more than 150 kilometers wide from Turva to Tampere? Is the Swedish-Finnish coalition going to have a decisive battle with the Soviet army between Helsinki and Vaasa? Who is the commander of the Swedish-Finnish coalition?
Do they really think that the temporarily formed Swedish-Finnish coalition forces can destroy the Soviet Red Army's defense line?
But soon, Xu Rui's doubt was solved.
Because Timoshenko quickly went on to say: "The Cheka received top-secret news not long ago that the German government has decided to intervene in the war in Northern Europe."
Xu Rui suddenly realized that this was the case, so it was no wonder.
It turns out that there is support from Germany behind it. No wonder Sweden dares to launch such a big battle.
But soon, Xu Rui's brows furrowed again. No, it's still wrong!
Even with the support of Germany behind it, confronting the Soviet Red Army head-on between Turva and Tampere does not seem to be the best option. Is there any other mystery behind this?
"Comrade Xu Rui, you can see it, right?" Timoshenko smiled and said, "I also think that the movements of the Swedish-Finnish coalition forces are very suspicious, and there must be another intention behind it. However, I have been thinking about it for a long time.
I’m still not sure, I always feel like there are some factors that I haven’t taken into consideration, so I asked Andre to bring you here to help me with my advice.”
After Timoshenko finished speaking, he motioned to Andrei to spread the map of Finland on the table.
Xu Rui's eyes fell on the map at a glance. He saw that Turva is 150 kilometers west of Helsinki, and Tampere is 150 kilometers northwest of Helsinki. These two small cities are composed of Helsinki and Helsinki.
It formed an equilateral triangle and controlled two major highways. It was Helsinki's main barrier against attacks from the direction of Vasa. At the same time, it was also the most important base for the Soviet army to advance towards Vasa.
If the Swedish-Finnish coalition can recapture Turva and Tampere before the Soviet army can react, it can indeed greatly delay the Soviet offensive, and at the same time greatly ease the military pressure faced by Finland's temporary capital of Vaasa, so
, from a purely military perspective, there is no problem.
In other words, the actions of the Swedish-Finnish coalition are explainable and reasonable from a military perspective.
However, this is not the best choice. At least, if Xu Rui was the commander of the Ruifen Coalition Forces, he would never make such a head-on choice, because the Ruifen Coalition Forces are obviously at a disadvantage compared to the Soviet Army and cannot win through a head-on confrontation.
Cheap. If Xu Rui were the commander of the Refine-Fen coalition, he would have detoured from the flanks and inserted directly into Kouvola or even Onkama behind Helsinki, cutting off the connection between Helsinki and Vyborg. If he was bolder, he would have attacked directly.
Vyborg!
Once Vyborg is lost, not only will the large amount of military supplies stored there be lost instantly, but the land transportation between Helsinki and Leningrad will also be completely cut off in an instant. If this is the case, the half-million Soviet Red Army troops gathered near Helsinki will
They will be in a desperate situation in an instant. At that time, all they can do is not attack, but break out.
Thinking of this, combined with the information provided by the Cheka that Germany would intervene in the war, Xu Rui had already guessed the truth. I am afraid that Germany's involvement in the Nordic war is true, but it does not intend to intervene on a large scale.
Instead, they only dispatched a small elite force, or even just an advisory group.
The current wave of offensives by the Refine-Fen coalition is most likely a trick by the German advisory group to deceive the enemy. Its purpose is to strengthen the frontal offensive and hide the coalition's true intention of turning around. The real goal of the coalition is Vyborg!
This conjecture may seem very crazy, but if the coalition forces were commanded by Germans, it would not be surprising at all, because German generals have always been known for their boldness, and the Germans were the first to initiate the Blitzkrieg.
What is blitzkrieg? It means relying on the powerful assault force of the armored group to not fight with you city by city, but to stride forward until you capture the decisive military town, cut off the enemy's retreat and supply routes, and cause the enemy to lose control.
This is a very powerful tactic when the army is in chaos and running out of ammunition and food!
Seeing Xu Rui's expression was different, Timoshenko asked: "Comrade Xu Rui, do you see anything?"
Xu Rui shook his head and said: "I'm very sorry, Comrade Timoshenko, I didn't find anything unusual."
See through, don’t tell. Xu Rui doesn’t intend to tell Timoshenko what he discovered. Even if he did, Timoshenko might not believe him. Furthermore, Xu Rui actually doesn’t want the Soviet Union to really annex the Soviet Union.
Finland does not want the Soviet Union to invade the entire three Nordic countries at once, because a strong Soviet Union is not in China's interests.
