Chapter 910: Transfer to Defense

"Boom!" A 75mm recoilless gun fired violently, with shining flames from the muzzle, and shot at a T-26 tank on the opposite side.

Two seconds later, the tank there made a violent explosion, and the flames shot into the sky.

This seemed to be a signal. With the explosion of the tank, black smoke continued to rise from the positions of the entire Soviet army.

"Da da da!" Mark Qin's heavy machine gun fired, and the tracer shot across the sky, drawing a straight line. The end of the straight line was the Soviet soldiers sleeping by the bonfire.

The bullet hit the snow, making a chirping sound, and some hit people. The person who was just woken up from sleep screamed loudly, watching his body, which was about to freeze, was going to the ground. There is blood on the outside, this kind of scene is scary.

In the sound of the Mark Qin heavy machine gun, there are also countless submachine guns shooting, all the automatic firepower is firing, just next to the road opened by the Soviet Union to enter the Long Snake Array, stretching for several kilometers, all become a battlefield .

The sound of guns and guns is everywhere, the screams of death are everywhere, this night is no longer silent!

"Boom!" Another shell exploded, causing Vinogradov to fall to the ground in horror. The explosion just now was near him!

"What's the matter?" Vinogradov shouted loudly. "Quick, adjutant, report the situation!"

The adjutant quickly rushed in from the outside: "Master, it's not good, we are surrounded, and all around us are Finns!"

surrounded!

At this time, the sound of gunfire around them made them have to believe the fact that they were surrounded by a large number of Finns on the way to march, and now, they will usher in the same fate as the 163rd Division!

"Quick, turn to defense on the spot, quick, quick!" Vinogradov shouted: "Where are our tanks? Fire!"

As if he heard his shouts, the driver of a T-26 tank was reacting quickly, he got into his cab and pressed the switch.

Quick, start!

All he heard was the weak gasping sound of the back starter, humming, humming, and after a few clicks, it didn't move.

Come again!

hum, hum! Suddenly, a burning smell came out, no good, the motor burned!

The weather is freezing cold, and it has exceeded the starting ability of the engine. It is almost impossible to start with the motor before it is roasted with fire!

He crawled over anxiously from the tank. When he opened the cover of the engine compartment at the back, he found that the water tank had already inflated, and inside, a large lump of ice popped out.

Damn it! When the flame was turned off, the water was not drained! His tank engine has been frozen by the expanding ice!

He climbed out of his tank and watched the commander running over: "Quick, start the tank!"

"The engine is broken and cannot be started!"

"Oh, no!" He saw the running commander with his own eyes, and was swept away by a shuttle of bullets behind him. The commander fell into a pool of blood just like that. The commander's head was raised, and he finally glanced here. Below, a bright red.

"Finland, go to hell!" He held a DT machine gun in his hand, and shot violently towards the place where the flames had just emerged. Following that, he saw an even more terrifying scene.

A recoilless gun fired at him! In the dark night, the cannonball dragged a tracer arc and flew towards him accurately!

"Boom!" The tank exploded violently. During the explosion, he felt his body float farther and farther. When he looked down, he found that his lower body was burning on the tank. Then, Inside his brain, it became pitch black.

The battle did not last long, but the casualties of the Soviet army were huge.

Sitting in his makeshift tent, Vinogradov looked gloomy.

"This is definitely not an ordinary guerrilla! They have artillery and heavy machine guns. Their number is in the thousands. Obviously, the Finns have mobilized the main force of the army to besiege us!" Vinogradov said. : "Now, we must turn to defense on the spot!"

"However, Commander, we are less than ten kilometers away from the 163th Division. If we continue to move forward, we should be able to join the 163rd Division in half a day," said a subordinate.

Vinogradov shook his head: "No! There must be more traps ahead of us, the road may be destroyed, and our losses are too great to move forward."

On this day, too many changes took place in Vinogradov's heart. From the very beginning, he was complacent, hoping to make a contribution and make a career, and he was promoted to the top. Now, he has no confidence.

Before completing the task, he suffered a great loss, and at the same time, in his heart, he was already timid.

He didn't dare to advance any further, fighting was going to kill people, and if his troops lost too much, he wouldn't be able to send them.

However, if he just went back like this, it would be even worse. He could almost imagine that as long as he went back, his life would be over, so he made the stupidest decision to stay where he was!

If he continues to move forward, he can merge with the 163rd Division and twist into a single rope. If he is afraid, he will retreat and reduce casualties. Now, he actually ordered to stay in place and turn to defense!

The process of the Great Purge caused the Soviets to lose too many excellent commanders. Vinogradov, like Vinogradov, commanded at most one platoon, but now he has to command a division!

At this time, the surroundings had calmed down, but Vinogradov was afraid in his heart. He didn't dare to move forward or retreat. He didn't know that his hesitation had really ruined the army!

In the middle of the night, the snowflakes began to float again. The Soviet army did not rest. They were working hard, digging on the frozen ground, and doing defensive work. In the cold weather, this work was tiring and irritating.

At this time, in the woods just a few kilometers away from them, the attacking troops had already returned.

They unfastened their sleds on the spot and quickly set up a warm tent.

The tents, which are foldable, can be easily transported in a boat-like sled called an "Akhio". The sled is pulled by three skiers, with a person in the back who balances the sled while skiing.

There is a wood-burning stove inside the tent, and soft pine branches are covered under it. Even on the coldest night, the 20 people staying in the tent will feel very warm.

"Today, our goal has been achieved, we have scared the Soviets, they have lost their last chance." Lieutenant Colonel McKinniemi said: "As long as we continue to delay the Soviets here, our large force will be It will arrive slowly, especially, when our artillery arrives, it is the moment to completely surround and destroy the Soviets."
