Chapter 906 Motorized Division 44 (Plus 2)

The capital of Finland, Helsinki.

"One of our reconnaissance planes has just detected the exact situation. A new Soviet unit has moved to the front line. It has been confirmed that it is the 44th division of the Soviets." An officer put the photo just obtained on the table. come up.

Loeb picked up the photo and looked at the Soviet boys above, still wearing autumn clothes, and suddenly he was dumbfounded: "It seems that the Soviets really thought this war would end soon, and they didn't even have winter clothes. Change."

As a commander, you must know yourself and your enemy, and now, those present are no strangers to the Soviet 44th Division.

This is a meritorious unit, a strong force from the Soviet civil war, and its combat effectiveness is very strong, at least in every domestic exercise in the Soviet Union.

"Now, we have besieged the 163rd Division of the Soviet Union on the front line, and intend to concentrate on eating this army. We have disrupted their logistical supplies by conducting guerrilla warfare in the rear. Now, the arrival of this new force, It could make the situation on the front line worse," Mannerheim said.

No matter how arrogant the Soviets are, this is always a formidable enemy and needs to be taken seriously. For now, it is just right for the front-line troops to eat up the 163rd Division. If they deal with the 44th Division, they may not be able to accomplish the set goals. .

"Yes, we have to revise the combat policy." Loeb said, as a military adviser, his power has become more and more powerful now, all of which are to win this war.

For example, now, his suggestions are basically adopted.

"How?" Mannerheim asked.

"We only have a small number of troops left, it's enough to hold the 163rd Division, then move most of the troops, use the same tactics, harass, besiege, and finally eat the 44th Division, let Moscow know that Finland is invincible of!"

According to Mannerheim's idea, he has already planned to give up the 163rd Division. After all, the reinforcements from the other side will make him overwhelmed. However, Loeb's appetite is even greater, eating the 44th Division!

This is different from the 163rd Division. This division is an elite unit of the Soviet Union. If this division is eaten by Finland, it will make the Soviets really realize that if they want to defeat Finland, they will have to pay a very high price, too big bear!

Of course, it's a little risky.

Mannerheim was pondering, he needed to think clearly, on the side, another general, Silas Vuo, had happily clapped the table: "Okay, I think this is a good way to let the Soviets know that Finland is They are invincible, and they will systematically destroy the 44th Division!"

Silasvuo is also an important leader of the Finnish army. His approval made Mannerheim finally no longer hesitate: "Okay, then we will listen to General Loeb's opinion and eat the elite troops of the Soviets!"

The decision of the Finnish high level has laid the tragic end of the 44th Division, and a big net has been opened to them!

At this time, the 44th Motorized Division was still gathering on the Finnish border.

Motorized division refers to the arms that take vehicles to implement maneuvers and conduct operations on foot. Its characteristics are that it moves fast before the battle, adapts to various terrain conditions, and is flexible. But there is no necessary cover when fighting, and the battle develops slowly.

The difference from the mechanized division is that the mechanized division uses an infantry fighting vehicle, which can be directly thrown into the battle, while the motorized division uses a car to arrive at the battlefield and then goes down to fight on foot.

Even so, according to the size of the Soviet army, this motorized division is quite well organized. For example, it has more than 50 tanks!

Since the first T-34s produced were all supplied to the Finnish battlefield, the Ukrainian troops in the rear still drove their T-26 tanks as pioneers.

Behind the T-26 tank is their main motorized equipment, the BA-6 armored car.

This is also the characteristic of the Soviets.

You must know that the production of tanks requires a lot of money. The Soviet army is too large. It is impossible to replace tanks in large quantities. Therefore, many troops can only settle for the next best thing and use trucks. The chassis is modified, after all, it takes far less money to produce a truck than a tank.

During the October Revolution, there were many armored vehicles, but at that time they were simply modified on ordinary vehicles. As long as they were bulletproof, the performance was too poor. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, with the continuous development of the national economy, Armored vehicles also ushered in a new spring.

The BA-6 armored car was transformed by the GAZ factory on the basis of the domestic three-axle car GAZ-AAA. From the chassis point of view, it is still the conventional structure of a six-wheeled truck. However, bulletproof tires are used here, and the middle is filled with porous rubber.

The weight of the whole vehicle is only 5.12 tons, so the performance is good when driving, and there will be no lack of power.

At the same time, it is equipped with a BT turret, a 45mm main gun, and two DT machine guns. Such an armored truck is just used to clear the ubiquitous Finnish guerrillas, and its firepower is absolutely powerful.

Behind them, there are more trucks, pulling various artillery behind them, and at the same time, there are various supply vehicles. After they were transported by train, they finally completed their assembly. Now, enter the war zone!

The entire division, which became a long snake formation, set off from the border, walked across the battlefield, and headed towards Suo Musalmi, where the 163th Division was besieged.

"Buzz, buzz." The gasoline engine roared, and on an armored truck in the middle, division commander Vinogradov leaned on the back of the chair, his body jolting along with the vehicle.

The status of a division commander is not commensurate with his age. Until now, he is only a young man in his thirties, and just two years ago, he was only a captain, in that vigorous purge , he actively threw himself into the movement, released his youth in the movement, the bosses above his head were washed out one by one, and he also rose level by level.

Now, he is a teacher! Thinking of all this, he was very excited every time.

In this position, he worked very hard and carefully organized every military parade. His troops and military appearances during the military parade were the best! It has won the admiration of Marshal Voroshinov, and now, I finally have the opportunity to show them!

He seemed to see that the honor of the marshal was beckoning to him. As long as he could win the battle beautifully this time, he would definitely continue to rise until he became the most trusted subordinate around Stalin!

It was too bumpy and cold inside the tank, which was fine in an armored car. He wrapped his military coat tightly and continued to squint when the car suddenly stopped suddenly.

"Boom!" An explosion sounded almost simultaneously.
