If given a chance, I will definitely lead my men around the river.
——Excerpted from "Interviews with Yu Zhiqian Issue 36"
The Kamu River is a small river whose name cannot be found on the world map, and even its location is difficult to find. However, it is bolded on the map of Finland as a relatively important river. It is a relatively important river in central Finland. , although the water flow is not large, there are many Finnish gathering points and small towns along this river.
"Sir, we're here!"
Boboski panted and came to Yu Zhiqian, pointing to a place not far away that looked like a plain. There were no trees there, as if there was a sharp blade. With one sword, he split the forest in half. Yu Zhiqian and others All you have to do is cross this sword and go to the other side.
"Pay attention to your surroundings and be careful of ambush!"
Yu Zhiqian chose a good observation position and carefully looked around with a telescope. The surrounding area was completely white. It was impossible to tell where there were enemies and where there was snow. Now if Yu Zhiqian was given another chance, he would definitely bring a thermal imaging camera over. , but there is no if.
There was a murderous intention hidden in the vast white snowfield. After Yu Zhiqian confirmed again and again that no suspicious location was found, he spoke slowly.
"Cross the river!"
According to the previous plan, we took a short break before crossing the river, had lunch and replenished our strength. However, considering that we had to light a fire and might not be able to cross the river if the Finns gathered around us, we finally decided to cross the river first and then rest.
The Kam River is not wide, less than 20 meters at its widest point. There is a thick layer of ice on the river, and people can walk on it without any obstacles. If you can skate, you can probably do it in a few seconds. Slip over.
"The Soviets have begun preparing to cross the river!"
On the other side of the river, a dozen Finns are lying in the snow, with only a pair of eyes exposed. Even if you look carefully, you can't recognize that there is a person hiding here. They have been crawling in the snow all year round. These Finns People have long learned to disguise.
"Wait until most of them walk onto the river before we take action!"
"yes!"
The Finns are very patient. Compared with the invading Soviets, this group of Finns have firmer beliefs in their hearts. This is why the Finns are able to achieve a battle-loss ratio that shocks the world.
Belief is really a mysterious thing. Some people say that he cannot withstand bullets and artillery. It is true that flesh and blood cannot withstand it, but it has been proved on many battlefields that as long as you have firm faith and conviction, nothing is invincible. .
"Thirty Soviets began to cross the river!" the Finnish scout reported again.
"hold on!"
However, they did not wait until Lao Maozi stepped onto the ice later. Yu Zhiqian had already given the order to cross the river in three groups, with 30 people at a time. Yu Zhiqian was holding the line at the end to prevent accidents.
"Only thirty of the Soviets walked to the middle of the ice, and others were waiting in place. Damn it, these Soviets are really cunning!"
The observers continued to report intelligence, and the Finns began to get a little anxious. They did not expect that the Soviets did not rush over in a swarm.
"Let these people come over first!"
"yes!"
"Report, the second group is thirty people, they are almost in the middle of the river!"
"beat!"
This time, the Finnish commander issued an attack order. Although he could not completely annihilate the Soviets on the river, he could separate them head and tail and continue to slowly eat them away later.
Following an order, at the artillery position about one kilometer behind, five mortars had already been deployed. The mortars immediately unleashed their power, and five shells accurately landed on the ice.
"Enemy attack!"
When he was suddenly attacked, Lao Maozi's first reaction was to lie down on the ground. When Yu Zhiqian saw it, he immediately shouted: "Don't lie down on the ice, rush over, rush over!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen Finns crawled out of the snow across the river bank, holding submachine guns in their hands and firing at the Soviets who had crossed the river. At some point, the machine gun positions that had been set up on the side were revealed. They lost their camouflage and kept pouring ammunition at the Soviets on the river.
In just a short moment, a dozen or more Soviets fell, and some Finnish snipers were hiding in hidden corners, constantly harvesting the lives of Soviets.
"Pay attention to concealment, find bunkers, counterattack, counterattack!"
Yu Zhiqian reminded loudly, while pointing the muzzle of the gun at the machine gun position in the distance. The Finnish machine gunner was roaring loudly with his mouth wide open, his finger tightly holding the trigger, and the bullets were like a heavy rain. Sweeping across the ice, Soviets were constantly being blocked and interrupted.
There were no bunkers on the river. This group of people was the best target for the Finns. In less than a minute after the attack started, no Soviets could stand up. Most of them were killed, and some were lying on the ground. , don’t dare to move.
"boom!"
Yu Zhiqian killed the machine gunner, but the ammunition supply man beside him directly dragged the machine gunner's body away, and he controlled the machine gun again. Just as Yu Zhiqian was about to continue shooting, there was a sudden sound of breaking through the air above his head.
"Bombardment!"
It was the sound of a mortar. The sharp sound proved that the impact point of the shell was around him. Yu Zhiqian did not dare to be careless at all, and immediately rolled behind a tree, curling up his body as much as possible.
"boom!"
A shell fell and landed about ten meters away from Yu Zhiqian. Several old men were killed before they could disperse in time. Their severed limbs also flew to the position in front of Yu Zhiqian, mixed with a stream of burnt water. The smell of meat and blood made Yu Zhiqian feel a little uncomfortable in his stomach.
But the bombardment was not over yet, and there was another burst of sound overhead, which lasted for two or three minutes before it ended.
Yu Zhiqian climbed out of the snow in embarrassment and looked around confusedly. The surrounding environment had changed. The originally white snowfield had been dyed red with blood. There were corpses and broken limbs everywhere.
The painful wailing, Lao Maozi's unwilling shouting of Ula, the Finn's crazy and ferocious laughter, etc., mixed into a scene like hell, which kept echoing in Yu Zhiqian's ears.
"boom!"
Another cannonball landed not far away. Yu Zhiqian fell to the ground and buried his head in the snow. The biting cold snow and the smell of scarlet blood and gunpowder smoke made Yu Zhiqian come back to his senses in an instant. Now we are on the battlefield.
"Retreat, retreat!"
Yu Zhiqian used his best strength and kept roaring. Yu Zhiqian didn't know how many old men were still alive, but he could withdraw one by one. At the same time, Yu Zhiqian was still looking for opportunities to shoot.
The highest priority was still given to the group of Finnish machine gunners. If these people were not eliminated, Yu Zhiqian might be hit by stray bullets even if he retreated.
After knocking out one Finnish machine gunner at a time, Yu Zhiqian saw that the last of his men on the other side of the river had been shot dead. A big hole had been blown up in the middle of the river. The old man who had just crossed the river was either killed or killed. He fell into the cold river water and slept forever.
