Lao Maozi recognized Yu Zhiqian at a glance. After putting down his weapon, he wanted to salute. Yu Zhiqian immediately pulled out his hand: "If you have something to say on the battlefield in the future, don't salute me!" After that, he came to where the people were gathered. Place: "How are the casualties?"
"A total of twenty-six people were killed, and seventeen others were injured!"
After a short sneak attack, a quarter of the combat effectiveness was lost. Yu Zhiqian looked at the wounded soldiers and took off the things on the snow board that the wolf was dragging: "There is some fur here, give it to the wounded who need it, and give it to the wounded." Report it to the regiment headquarters, and the rest will immediately return to their igloos. If anyone dares to light a fire again, the sentry will kill him directly!"
"yes!"
This time, all the old men did not dare to have any opinions. They knew clearly the reason for this attack. Although the two people who started the fire were both dead, they were still being cursed by the old men.
There was nothing to say all night. When the sun rose as usual, one old man after another emerged from the snow. He looked around in confusion, a little unbelievable that he actually survived another night. Last night, except for being killed in the middle of the night, The people who died in the sneak attack did not freeze to death overnight.
Yu Zhiqian was much more cautious. He first opened a small opening in the igloo and carefully observed the surroundings. After confirming that there were no Finns, he slowly climbed out of the igloo. After a night, all the wounded in the camp were gone. They all died without any medical treatment. If they were injured, they would just wait to die. War is so cruel.
"keep going!"
The deceased was buried on the spot. After packing up his equipment, Yu Zhiqian took two bites of potatoes and black bread that were harder than rocks, shoveled two mouthfuls of snow into his mouth, and ordered to move forward.
It's not that Yu Zhiqian doesn't want to rest, drink hot water, or eat hot food, but that there are no conditions at all now. If a fire is lit now, thick smoke will rise from the moist wood and attract surrounding Finnish soldiers to hunt.
Now Lao Maozi is like prey in the snow, and those Finnish soldiers are like hunters, constantly wandering around their prey, going out from time to time, taking a hard bite, and then sneaking away.
"Here you go!" Yu Zhiqian took out a piece of frozen hard meat jerky and threw it to the white wolf behind him. These jerky were seized from the Finnish camp. Now Yu Zhiqian is not short of food. Although the Soviets' logistics is terrible, A company has grown from close to two hundred men to only a few dozen men left, and each person's rations are enough to last for about a week.
"Sir, I saw a sign ahead. We will reach the target area in five kilometers!" At this time, Acting Platoon Commander Boboski took a map and walked towards Yu Zhiqian. beside.
"Don't hold me back if you want to die!" Seeing the map in Boboski's hand, Yu Zhiqian immediately pressed him under him, and then found a hidden position before he dared to check the map. Looking at white, it is easy to get glare, making it difficult to see the surrounding enemies. Who knows if there are Finnish snipers at this time.
"Sir, we are probably here now, and our target is Haina Town. According to our current speed, we will be able to reach Haian Town before dark today, but the regiment headquarters wants us to capture Haina Town at noon today! "
Yu Zhiqian shook his head and threw the map aside: "Ignore the orders from the regiment and continue moving forward. When we arrive at the Kam River in an hour, everyone should take a rest!"
"yes!"
Five kilometers is very close, but now we are in the snow. Taking a step requires a lot of physical energy. It is basically impossible to reach the five kilometers distance before noon. There is no need for Yu Zhiqian to carry out a forced march and continue to maintain this Move forward quickly, otherwise if something goes wrong along the way, the entire army may be wiped out.
Along the way, Yu Zhiqian discovered the bodies of many old Maozi. Yu Zhiqian's army was not the only one in the middle route army. More than 100,000 people attacked from the center. They wanted to penetrate directly into the heart of the Finns, the capital of Finland, Helsinki, but now it seems that they have all failed. Already.
In fact, the Soviets had many ways to bulldoze the Finns, such as concentrating their forces and using their superiority to crush them all the way, regardless of the small groups of troops attacking them around. After taking down the big cities, those on the snowy fields The troops will be defeated without attack.
But Lao Maozi's commander, for some unknown purpose, not only did they not concentrate their forces for a large-scale advance, but instead adopted the so-called steady and steady tactics, which means that with every step forward, they must clear out the surrounding Finns. , obviously, the consequence of doing this is to be constantly harassed by the Finns on a small scale and dragged into the abyss of the war.
"There are ninety-three targets in total. They have no heavy weapons and are heading towards Haina Town!" Not far from the route where Yu Zhiqian and others were advancing, in a low-lying snow pit, two Finns were lying in white clothes. Cloak, holding a telescope, kept counting the number of people in Yu Zhiqian's team, and a soldier carrying a walkie-talkie beside him kept sending information back to the headquarters.
"withdraw!"
After counting the number of people, the two Finns quietly crawled back a certain distance, and then disappeared into the vast snowfield. These scouts were the eyes of the Finns.
At 12:30 noon, the sun is in the sky. This is the warmest time in the entire winter in Finland. The current location of Yu Zhiqian and others does not seem to be much larger than before. It is a birch forest, mixed with European spruce and red pine. It's like I can never get out of this forest.
Yu Zhiqian kept identifying the direction, confirming that he had indeed not taken the wrong path, and had always been moving in a straight line. In this environment, it is very easy for people to get lost, and the so-called things that can identify the direction are thickly covered Covered with snow.
"We walked forward for about less than a kilometer, crossed a river, and reached our target area of Haina Town!" After Yu Zhiqian confirmed that his position was correct, he took a deep breath and continued to move forward with the team.
Now the whole team is a little listless. The scenery that has not changed for a long time and the bullets that may pop out at any time are destroying the psychological defense of these young Soviet soldiers. Even Yu Zhiqian feels a depressing atmosphere, which makes people feel uncomfortable. Feeling very uncomfortable.
If possible, Yu Zhiqian now wants to roar a few times loudly to relieve his emotions, but it is obviously not possible. This can attract more Finns. Maybe they are waiting in a corner. Yu Zhiqian and others made mistakes.
The team was very quiet, moving forward little by little. The only one who was still alive was the wolf that was captured yesterday. Not counting the captured wolf, it should be considered that he followed it. Yu Zhiqian accepted it now, at least in the future. In the snow, it can drag a lot of things and save a lot of energy.
