Chapter 871 Winter War

Finland.

The time has only entered October, and above the head, there are already snowflakes.

Most of Finland is in high latitudes, where summers are short and winters are long and cold.

The native Finns have long adapted to the severe cold here. Outside, they wear snow camouflage overalls with hoods, m/39 winter wool hats and m/36 wool uniforms inside.

This kind of wool uniform is quite warm, wearing it, you can't feel the cold at all, although because of the emergency, this kind of work clothes are mostly made by hand from sheets.

At the same time, on their feet, they were wearing tall Lapland boots, made of felt and leather, which were very practical and perfectly adapted to the harsh environment of the Winter War.

Wearing gloves, they looked at Soviet positions in the distance.

Next to them, there were several German soldiers. At this time, the German soldiers were obviously not as cold-resistant as them. The original uniforms issued by the volunteers could not stop the severe cold here. They also had the same clothes of the Finnish army on board. Still a little shivering.

"It's so fucking cold!" said a volunteer soldier. On his beard, the white breath he exhaled had begun to freeze, making him look like Santa Claus.

"Let yourself exercise. After the activity, it will not be cold." A Finnish soldier handed him a bottle of wine skillfully.

In Norway, wine is also very restricted, and high-level wine is subject to a large tax. For example, in later generations, a liter of forty-proof wine will be charged a tax equivalent to 200 yuan! It's just tax.

Norwegian wine is almost expensive in northern Europe, so they also developed a route. Norwegians buy wine from Sweden, Swedes buy wine from Denmark, and Danes buy wine from Germany, even if they drive for more than ten hours. The car is also spared!

When I arrived, I could only sigh, the wine here is so fucking cheap!

Now, it's almost the same route, but it's easier. Germany directly supports the liquid bread, which is wine, and there is still a strong taste of vodka in it.

An absolute high number, people have the pleasure of wine.

Yes, these wines were exported from the Soviet Union to Germany. The trade exchanges between the two sides are very smooth. Drinking vodka from the Soviet Union and playing with Soviet devils makes me drunk when I think about it.

Why should Germany help Finland? On the one hand, Finland was used to hold back the Soviets, so that when Germany was on the western front, the Soviets would come and make trouble. In fact, it was the same. The cunning British had long thought of the Soviet Union!

Unfortunately, the Soviet Union was held back.

After several battles, the Soviets failed and returned, but in the past two months, the Soviets suddenly stopped and did not continue any battles.

This is very surprising, and at the same time, it also indicates that once the next battle begins, the Soviet Union's attack will be more violent than before!

Clay took a sip, only to find it extremely spicy, which made his stomach feel like the river was overturned, and his lungs began to cough, but after a few seconds, a warm feeling came out of his stomach, It poured all over the body and felt comfortable everywhere.

"It feels much better," Clay said. He put down the rifle he was carrying from his back, and skillfully pulled the bolt a few times. Well, it seems to be fine, no problem.

In addition to supporting Finland and holding back the Soviet Union, Germany sent volunteers, of course, there is another purpose, that is, to adapt to the severe cold in advance, adapt to the war in winter, and prepare for the future invasion of the Soviet Union!

Historically, Germany has been hitting Moscow all the way, but it fell short because of the severe cold. Although there are many brick houses and beasts in later generations, it was not cold back then, and the gun bolts would not freeze and so on.

However, no one will tell the specific situation, and various researches are all based on subjective assumptions. However, now that Cyric has traveled here, he must strive to be more fully prepared.

All kinds of weapons and equipment, personnel, and running-in in cold weather are necessary for Germany to adapt to combat in cold weather as soon as possible!

To this end, Germany even specially developed a gun oil, which was tested in the ice and snow in Finland. As for the effect, even Finnish soldiers like to use it.

They are here at an observation post. Because the Soviet army on the opposite side has not moved for a long time, the alert level is lowered here. Usually, only the observation post is watching the opposite side. When the opposite side starts to move, this side The troops will come out of the barracks and enter the position to fight.

Like now.

They were watching the other side, drinking a few sips of wine at the same time to warm up their bodies.

Clay felt that the first sip was very comfortable, and he couldn't help but take another sip. However, when he finished drinking, he looked across the distance and seemed to see black smoke coming out.

At the same time, the ground trembled slightly.

"No, it's the Soviet army, they're getting ready to dispatch!" Clay shouted: "Quick, inform the headquarters, battle alert!"

What caused the massive black smoke? If the prediction is correct, the opponent's tank must be activated!

In the last confrontation, the Soviets paid a great price and finally occupied the support area of ​​the Finnish defense line, while the Finnish army continued to confront the Soviets in the main defense area.

It was freezing cold, and the Soviet tanks started to emit black smoke. When their tanks warmed up and became normal, the attack was about to start!

Get into position!

The alarm sounded on the position here, and a famous soldier, dressed in warm clothes, ran out of the barracks and ran to his position.

"Quick, push our anti-tank guns up!" Pettyford, the squad leader of the Volunteer Artillery Corps, shouted to his men.

In the past, their anti-tank guns have been proven to be unable to penetrate Soviet heavy tanks effectively, and armor-piercing shells using tungsten alloys are too expensive, so after the last battle, they put up the report. .

As a result, they got this new batch of equipment.

Germany has promised the Soviets that no new legal weapons will flow into Finland. And these anti-tank guns are definitely not legal weapons, but imperial ones.

The most effective 17-pound anti-tank gun that the British developed urgently before the war!

After the occupation of England, at the call of Edward VIII, and under Hobert, a group of technicians from the Royal Armouries stayed and continued their original work.

This batch of 17-pounder guns went into mass production, and the first ones produced were provided to Finland.

"Report, the tires are frozen!" a soldier shouted.
