Chapter 1836 Beheading Operation

Guderian immediately shut his mouth.

Such a major national strategic matter was not something that he, a small army commander, could take care of.

The head of state pondered for a moment and then said: "Although Rommel's performance is excellent, the Soviet generals on the opposite side are not incompetent. The tactic of death with both stones used this time is very powerful. If the Soviet Union's opponent is the empire, this tactic will

It can only be suicide. Unfortunately, Sweden's national strength is not even one percent of the empire, so there is no need to continue this game of fighting ability, because if it continues, it will only end in failure.

It’s better to stop now when it’s better.”

After a pause at this point, the head of state said to the secretary: "Immediately call the Imperial Embassy in Stockholm and ask Ambassador Goode to mediate as a mediator and prepare for armistice negotiations."

The head of state's acting style is that once a decision is made, it will never be delayed, but will be implemented immediately. The female secretary recorded the telegram dictated by the head of state, and then turned around.

The head of state's eyes returned to the sand table, and he said faintly: "But Prime Minister Bismarck once said that if you can't get it on the battlefield, don't get it from the negotiation table! So, if you want to get the maximum at the negotiation table,

In order to maintain interests, the empire will probably have to do something under the table and make the Soviets suffer a little more."

After a short pause, the head of state frowned and said: "It is best to be able to make those Soviet guys hurt to the bone without resorting to war. What should we do?"

Guderian then said: "Führer, perhaps we can carry out a beheading operation on Helsinki."

"Decapitation war?" The head of state's eyes flashed and he said solemnly, "Guderian, do you mean to send Brandenburg's special forces to Helsinki to carry out a beheading war against the Soviet army?"

"Yes." Guderian said, "If we can successfully decapitate the Soviet troops on the Helsinki front before the Ryfen Allied Forces in Vasa collapse, it will not only teach the Soviet army a lesson, but also the Ryfen Allied Forces.

There is a chance to defend Vasa. As long as the coalition forces can defend Vasa, the first to fall will be the Soviet army, not the Swedish-Finnish coalition forces!"

"Well, even if it still has to be resolved through negotiation in the end, the empire will gain the maximum benefit!" An inexplicable light flashed in the depths of the head of state's eyes, and he turned back to the female secretary who had just returned from conveying the order and said,

"Call the Brandenburg Special Forces Training Camp immediately and ask them to send a special forces squadron to Helsinki."

Guderian added: "Führer, it's best to choose a few more snipers from the sniper school."

The head of state waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "There is no need to choose, just let Konings go."



It was not only the head of state who had this idea, but also Stalin. The two of them coincided with each other.

Because Stalin had also foreseen that this war would probably only end in negotiations, so he wanted to create as many advantages as possible for his side before officially starting negotiations.

But right now, the Northwest Front has no advantage at all.

After receiving Stalin's order, Timoshenko finally reacted and immediately led the main force of the Northwest Front assembled near Helsinki to launch a fierce attack on the Swedish-Finnish coalition defense line. Vyborg could not hold it, and the logistics supply line was about to be occupied by the coalition forces.

Cut off, but the Northwest Front Army still has at least half a month of supplies needed for combat.

With these half-month's military supplies, it is enough for the Northwest Front to take over the city of Vasa.

As long as Vasa is captured, the Ryfen Allied Forces will first collapse psychologically, the situation will be reversed immediately, and the crisis facing the Northwest Front Army will be easily resolved.

Therefore, after receiving the order, Timoshenko immediately led the Northwest Front Army to launch a full-line offensive.

Due to sufficient preparations and the dedication of the three armies, the Northwest Front's offensive was very fierce. In less than half a day after launching the attack, it advanced at least fifty kilometers, and the puppet capital of Finland, Vaasa, was not far away.

When the news returned to Leningrad, Stalin did not show much joy on his face, because he knew very well that even if the Northwest Front captured Vasa, it would only have a larger bargaining chip. In fact,

, with the fall of Vyborg, the best result of this war against Finland can only be to carve up Finland with Germany and Sweden.

This result is far worse than Stalin's previous vision of taking over the entire Scandinavia Peninsula.

What's more, if the Northwest Front cannot capture Vasa, the Soviet Union will not be able to gain this bargaining chip.

Then he would be even more passive in the subsequent negotiations. Therefore, Stalin also started thinking about special operations, thinking that if Xu Rui's Wolf Fang Brigade could parachute into Vasa and carry out a beheading battle against the Ruifen Allied Forces, the Northwest Front Army would win

The possibility of Vasa will not increase significantly, so the Soviet Union's chances of getting this bargaining chip will also greatly increase.

At this time, Stalin was still in the officers' club, and Xu Rui and the Langya Brigade were also with him.

Stalin immediately said to Xu Rui: "Comrade Xu Rui, your death-with-death tactics have taken effect, but in order to completely reverse the unfavorable situation on the front line, the Northwest Front Army must capture the Finnish puppet capital of Vaasa. Considering that the Northwest Front

The front army is now fighting alone and has no backup, so I thought, could you please cooperate with us?"

Xu Rui frowned and said: "Comrade Stalin, do you want our Langya Brigade to carry out a beheading battle against Vasa?"

Stalin also said that Xu Rui was not willing to take this risk, and immediately said: "I know, I know, the Swedish Air Force is indeed very capable. Our Air Force cannot guarantee that you will be airborne to Vaasa safely, at least during the day."

, but there is still a chance at night, the Swedish air force does not have night combat capabilities."

At the beginning of the war, almost no one, including Stalin and Timoshenko, paid much attention to the Swedish Air Force, thinking that the Northwestern Front's Air Force could easily crush the Swedish Air Force just like the Finnish Air Force. But after the battle started

, the Soviets suddenly discovered that the Swedish Air Force was much stronger than the Finnish Air Force.

In fact, control of Vyborg and nearby airspace has now fallen into the hands of the Swedish Air Force. Although the Northwest Front Air Force has a slight numerical advantage, it has no advantage at all in terms of the quality of fighter jets and the technical skills of pilots.

Even at a clear disadvantage.

From this perspective, airborne landing in Vasa is indeed very dangerous.

At that moment, Stalin said again: "Comrade Xu Rui, I can ask Comrade Zhukov to assist you with an additional tank regiment!"

A tank regiment only has 100 tanks, which is really nothing to the Soviet Union, which has a huge industrial manufacturing base, so Stalin just opened his mouth and came. Anyway, an arsenal and a flying regiment were sent out.

I don't care if I give someone another tank regiment.

Xu Rui shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Comrade Stalin, I'm afraid you have misunderstood me. It's not that our Langya Brigade is unwilling to risk parachute to Vasa. As a soldier, how can we have the right to pick and choose? What I mean is

That is to say, parachuting into Vasa may not be the best choice. Since a decapitation operation is being carried out, why not just parachute into Vyborg?"

"Huh? Airborne to Vyborg?" Stalin said, "Comrade Xu Rui, Vasa is empty, but Vyborg has assembled a heavy troop group of the Swedish-Finnish coalition, so it would be more dangerous to land in Vyborg by air, right?"

Xu Rui said: "It is indeed more dangerous to land in Viborg, but if the beheading is successful, the blow to the coalition forces will be greater! At that time, it will be the coalition forces that beg the Soviet Union for negotiations, so that the Soviet Union can take the lead in subsequent negotiations.

Take the initiative! And if you airborne Vasa, even if you succeed, it will only be a stalemate, and it will not fundamentally change the situation on the battlefield."

Stalin's eyes suddenly lit up. If they could really carry out a beheading war against the Allied Forces in Viborg, it would mean that the Soviet Army would have the opportunity to carry out an encirclement and annihilation war against the main force of the Swedish-Finnish Allied Forces in Viborg. Even if they did not have the conditions to fight an annihilation war, it would be prolonged.

, the threat to the Swedish-Finnish coalition is obviously far greater than the threat to the Soviet army.

At that time, it was the Allied forces that should be anxious, not the Soviets.

However, Stalin was still a little worried and said: "It would be great if the decapitation campaign against Vyborg could succeed, but the question is, Comrade Xu Rui, how sure are you?"

If we can't successfully behead Vyborg, we might as well settle for the next best thing and carry out a beheading battle against Vasa.

Xu Rui shook his head and said: "Special operations are originally about dancing on the edge of a knife. There is no such thing as which plan is more difficult or which plan is safer. The only thing our Langya Brigade can guarantee is to go all out! Of course, if Comrade Stalin insists,

If you ask for a beheading of Vasa, we will carry out the order."

The implication is that even with Vassar, there is no guarantee of success.

After pondering for a moment, Stalin gritted his teeth and said: "Then Vyborg!"

Xu Rui nodded and said: "Comrade Stalin, what you just said..."

"Don't worry about this." Stalin said happily, "As long as you carry out the beheading of Vyborg, no matter what the final result is, I will assist your Chahar Independent Regiment with a tank regiment, and when you return home, I will

Let Comrade Zhukov hand it over to you together with the arsenal equipment and a flying regiment."

"Thank you, Comrade Stalin." Xu Rui said happily, "Then we will arrange a transport plane as soon as possible."

Xu Rui did not have much favorable impression of Stalin because he violated the promise made by Lenin and did not return the 1.5 million square kilometers of territory that Tsarist Russia had cut off from China to New China. However, he stood from the standpoint of the Soviet Union.

, Stalin was a leader with great courage and charisma, which is what Xu Rui admired about him.

Precisely because of this, Xu Rui doesn't mind going on another mission before returning to China.

Not only for the assistance of a flying regiment, a tank regiment and an arsenal, but also for his personal admiration for Stalin.
