Countless Soviet troops were marching slowly on the vast snowfields. It had been more than a week since the war started. Now the Soviets no longer had the pride they had before the war. The overall morale began to become sluggish, and the number of sacrifices was also increasing day by day.
War is undoubtedly a tool in the hands of politicians, and the reasons for using this tool are all strange. The reason for using it in the Winter War was because the Soviets lacked some ports and wanted to capture Finland, which had a sufficient number of Atlantic inlets.
It would be difficult for any sovereign country to agree to such conditions, so the Finns began to resist. At first, the Soviets did not pay attention to the Finns' resistance. In their view, the Finns' resistance was just a useless effort.
I even think that Finns are all Don Quixote, so stupid.
But when the results of the Red Army's sacrifice of nearly 10,000 people in a week were delivered to Moscow, the legendary iron-blooded Stalin immediately became extremely angry. Stalin, who valued face very important, could not bear the thought that his army would be destroyed by the Finns.
He blocked him and began to overstep his authority. What he didn't know was that this was just the beginning.
"The combatants are in place!"
"The target is still one kilometer away from the ambush circle!"
"The target has entered the ambush circle!"
"Fire!"
With the sound of firing, at least hundreds of Finnish soldiers suddenly appeared on both sides of the Soviet army's path forward. They held submachine guns in their hands and pulled the triggers at the unprepared Soviet Red Army in the snow. Within a few seconds, nearly
Thousands of bullets were fired from the Finns' submachine guns and penetrated the unsuspecting Soviets.
One regiment of Soviets immediately fell to one or two hundred people in just the first wave of contact.
"Charge, Ulla!"
"Ula!"
Although the Soviets were stunned for the first time, after they reacted, the officers immediately held pistols and shouted loudly. At the same time, Cui drove the soldiers forward, hoping to take advantage of their numbers to eat these Finns.
However, this group of Finns only attacked for less than half a minute before they all turned around and began to retreat. They did not give the Soviets any chance of direct contact. They fled immediately after the fight, giving full play to the spirit of guerrilla warfare.
Now it was the Soviets' turn to struggle again. This group of Soviets didn't know whether they should pursue or not, so they could only slowly chase in the direction in which the Finns were running, while waiting for the commander's next order.
The Soviet command was very rigid. These ordinary officers at the grassroots level had no war experience at all. After seeing the Finns who ran away as soon as they were beaten, they immediately became excited: "Chase, Ulla, leave no one behind!"
After receiving the order, the Soviets began to pursue them, but as soon as they climbed to the high point where the Finns attacked them, what awaited them were booby traps, which had been laid long ago, blowing up one Soviet soldier after another.
Killed and wounded, the Soviets, who have always used the human sea tactic, experienced what it means to injure one after another.
At this time, the nightmare of the Soviets was not over yet. The next thing that appeared around them was the group of Finnish snipers who kept the Soviets awake. This group of snipers had always been like sharks smelling blood. It doesn't matter.
They followed the Soviets slowly, and now the Soviets began to become confused, giving them room to play.
As we all know, a sniper is not very effective on a frontal battlefield, but when the command is chaotic and wounded soldiers are everywhere, it is the time when the sniper can most easily clean up the mess.
Simon Heyer was lying on the ground, pointing his gun at a Soviet officer in the distance. He only saw this guy holding a small pistol in his hand, wearing a military coat, with a medal on his chest, and he was talking excitedly.
"boom!"
"53!" After Simon Haye pulled the trigger, he said a number, then slowly pulled the bolt of his gun, looking for the next target.
Simon Haye did not fire at full speed. Basically, the Finnish snipers around him, as long as they were experienced people, did not fire quickly at the first time. They were still looking for some valuable targets. The order this group of people received,
Among them is to kill the opponent's officers as much as possible.
In the Soviet army, even machine gunners and gunners were not as important as officers. In the eyes of Finnish soldiers, as long as all the officers of a company of Soviets were killed, then this group of Soviets would be like
Just like a group of stupid bears waiting to be hunted, they can be easily wiped out without any tactical coordination.
The elusive sniper became the last straw to crush the Soviet army. The Soviets, who had already suffered heavy casualties, began to retreat, abandoning the wounded and some friendly troops in poor positions. Most of the Soviet soldiers began to give up.
He ran back desperately.
The total number of casualties in the army of more than 1,000 people was less than 500, but more than 60% of the officers in this army were killed. Only one of the six staff officers around the regiment leader was still alive.
"boom!"
Simon Haye's position was very good. They fell far behind the Soviet army. Now that the Soviets were retreating, they needed to pass through their area. When he saw the Soviets withdrawing in the dark area, Simon Haye frowned.
Wrinkled: "Retreat, let's open the door!"
The Finnish snipers knew that this Soviet army had been defeated by them, but if it blocked their retreat, this defeated army might cause them some casualties. The Finns did not confront them head-on. Ten Soviets were exchanged for one Finn.
People are profitable for the Soviets. After all, there are only a few people in Finland, and there are only a few million people in the country.
Yu Zhiqian heard the fierce exchange of fire in the east clearly. He took the Mosin Nagant in his hand, put the HK416 on his back, and slowly moved towards the source of the gunfire.
There are not many bullets left. Although the HK416 is very easy to use, it only carries a half-base amount of ammunition. If it continues to be used unscrupulously, Yu Zhiqian will soon run out of bullets. For Yu Zhiqian, modern weapons are still not enough.
Night vision and optical instruments are his last resort. If not necessary, he still needs to save some. After all, bullets cannot be replenished and batteries cannot be charged.
The sound of gunshots can travel very far in the snowfield. At a distance of three kilometers, a normal person may be able to arrive within half an hour, but in the snow, it may take an hour or even longer. Yu Zhiqian is riding a horse.
After about ten minutes, we arrived at the edge of the firefight area and saw the Soviets being suppressed and beaten by the Finns.
Gently patting Er Sha and asking him to drive his horse away from him, Yu Zhiqian put on the hat on the captured white cloak, lay down in the snow, and started to move little by little.
