The casualties were quickly tallied up: Twenty-seven people of the Soviet Red Army were killed, including 16 officers and 11 soldiers, and 22 were injured, including four minor injuries and 18 serious injuries. Basically, they could not be saved.
The officer death rate has reached more than 90%. Now there is only one officer, Yu Zhiqian. The rest, including the political commissar, have all died. Now Yu Zhiqian is the highest commander in the army.
As for the eighteen seriously injured people, all of them were shot in the abdomen. They are not dead yet, but they are waiting to die. The only good news is that in this cold and freezing weather, the wounds will basically not become inflamed. But whether they can survive, given the backward medical conditions in the Soviet Union, is basically left to their fate.
As for the result of the battle, there were no prisoners, three Finns were killed, and a few old men brought the Finns' bodies to Yu Zhiqian's side.
Yu Zhiqian squatted down and looked at the dog tags on the soldiers. Only then did he realize that he actually knew Russian and Finnish. Not only could he communicate, he could also understand the names on the dog tags.
"Simon, Terry?" When Yu Zhiqian saw the word Simon, he became excited. However, when he saw that the surname was Terry, he immediately punched the snow with his fist, and then checked the other few None of the brands were Simon Haye. Yu Zhiqian shook his head helplessly, clapped his hands, and stood up again: "What did the regiment headquarters say?"
"The regiment headquarters said, let us move forward according to the planned plan and capture the town of Haina before noon tomorrow!"
"Received, reply to the regiment headquarters, and ensure the mission is completed!"
Putting his backpack back on his back, Yu Zhiqian took off his officer's coat and put on a coat worn by ordinary old men. Although the thermal insulation effect is not as good as that of an officer's coat, at least the life-saving effect is better than that of an officer's coat. Casual He picked up a private soldier's hood and put it on: "Everyone, line up, keep moving forward, target Haina!"
The regrouped Soviet Red Army once again formed a long queue and began to walk towards the distant target. As for the wounded soldiers, they were carried on stretchers and moved with the troops. No one knew their fate. Maybe they were lucky. If you can survive, maybe you can close your eyes on this land forever.
The days in Finland are very short. Part of the country here is within the Arctic Circle, and the sunshine is less than six hours a day. Especially in winter, it is less than five hours. You have just adapted to the glare of the sun reflected by the snow. It is very difficult to get used to it. The sun will set soon.
After the battle just now, Yu Zhiqian finally understood the fighting power of these old men. They are all new recruits. It is impossible to expect them to do anything big. If they fight guerrilla warfare, they will be targeted by the Finns. They can only rely on cities to carry out positional warfare. time, it can play a certain role.
The scenery never changes, just like the snowfields in the Northeast in winter. The snow reaches the knees, and there are bare trees everywhere. It is completely silent, and there is no living thing in sight. It seems to be a restricted area for life. Looking at it, Go, surrounded by white despair.
Yu Zhiqian was walking in the middle of the team, thinking about how he could spend the night safely. The Finnish snipers who just appeared represent this unit, which has been targeted by the Finns. They will definitely continue to do so at night. There will be action.
In the snowfields in winter, if you want to spend a night safely, you must have a fire source, otherwise, you will be waiting to die. But once you light a fire, is it equivalent to telling these Finnish snipers and guerrillas that I am here? , come here and hit me.
The enemy is in the dark, and he is in the open. Basically, he will be beaten. It is even said that overnight, the entire company will be eaten by the Finnish soldiers who came after hearing the news. Yu Zhiqian wants to complete the mission, but he must survive first. Only by surviving can we complete the great task of killing Simon Haye.
Looking at the sky, Yu Zhiqian calculated that based on the current speed of the sun setting, it would be completely dark in about an hour. After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, he came up with a pretty good way. If you can't spend tonight peacefully, let's see if this method works.
"Everyone, stop moving forward. Boboski (temporarily promoted platoon leader!) took people to set up a cordon 100 meters away. If any abnormality is discovered, a warning shot will be fired immediately!"
"yes!"
Although I don’t know why Yu Zhiqian asked them to stop, all the old men stopped. Yu Zhiqian gestured for all the old men to come closer: "There is still an hour before the sun sets. Within an hour, I ask each of you to build an igloo. Tonight, no one is allowed to light a fire. If any of you can't learn it, you will have to freeze to death. You have to know that the night here is minus 30 degrees!"
After finishing speaking, Yu Zhiqian took out his ordnance shovel, and then began to dig out the snow under his feet. The snow here is very thick, and a hole can be easily dug. Yu Zhiqian used this method when he was climbing on the ice in the Northeast. What I learned can save my life at a critical moment, but I didn't expect that I would befriend Lao Maozi first in this place.
Strictly speaking, this kind of igloo should have been invented by the Eskimos in Lao Maozi. Yu Zhiqian just handed it back to Lao Maozi. The whole process was very simple. He just dug out an area and then dug out an area from the side to lie in. Make a snow cave for one person, and then cover it with some branches and some dry leaves. This method can isolate the cold wind and ensure to a certain extent that you will not freeze to death.
Although a group of old men didn't know why they didn't light a fire, they all started to learn. After all, the snow was very thick in winter. These soldiers had played in the snow when they were young or young, so they quickly dug it for themselves. Snow caves emerged one after another.
Then, Yu Zhiqian sent all the people out and began to search for dead leaves, branches and other things. Then he distributed some blankets and warm things in the company. How many people can survive tonight? Yu Zhiqian didn't know either. He hoped that these old people could withstand the cold a bit, otherwise they might all freeze to death early tomorrow morning.
Time passed very quickly. An hour later, the sun clocked in on time. There was no trace of nostalgia for this world. The night began to occupy the sky. Looking into the distance, in the sky, apart from the stars, there was only a lone moon. , is rising slowly.
The howling of wolves, the sound of gunfire in the distance, and the sound of wind that sounded like a ghost's cry began to sound in the Finnish snowfields. Everything indicated that this night was not peaceful.
