Chapter 912 Attacking the Highlands

At this time, it was the most sleepy moment for people. Originally, the boys from Ukraine were not suitable for the severe cold here, not to mention the long polar night.

Even the young man standing guard has drooping eyelids.

However, they couldn't sleep.

it's too cold.

Yezhov wrapped his coat tightly around his body, he felt extremely cold, but he had no more clothes.

Right next to his post, a bonfire was burning. He squatted down, rubbed his hands, and baked on it, hoping to warm himself up.

In this kind of dark night, the fire is to expose the target and become a living target for the opponent's snipers. However, no one wants to put out the bonfire. They are afraid of the dark, and even more afraid of the cold.

After baking for a while, he felt warm and stood up from the fire. At this moment, behind him, a pair of cold hands reached out and covered his mouth.

He was terrified. At this time, no one was joking. The cold had dulled his consciousness, and he didn't even notice the opponent's scout coming up from behind!

The Finnish army is full of veterans!

The shiny bayonet slid past his eyes, and then he felt a pain in his throat, blood splashed on the snow, and beautiful red flowers bloomed, melting the snow.

His body fell to the ground weakly, blood gurgled out, he felt that his life was quickly disappearing, and before he lost consciousness, he saw a famous skier passing by him, Towards the back position.

To the east of Haukira Town is a farm, and to the east of the farm is the commanding heights here.

The divisional artillery battalion of the 44th Division was deployed there. At this time, all the muzzles were facing west, aiming at the woods in the west, ready for reinforcements at any time.

For several days, they did not fire, and every time when they were ready to shoot Zhu Yuan, the Finnish army's attack stopped.

However, they were still prepared, especially, once the Finnish artillery appeared, they would definitely turn the guns around quickly and bombard the Finnish artillery.

Moreover, as long as they are here, they can control the Latai Highway. Therefore, to block the gate of the Soviets' retreat, the first thing to do is to occupy the artillery positions here!

The skiers slid quickly along the snow. They needed to make a circle and attack from the east of the artillery position, because all the Soviet fire was aimed at the west. Attacking from the east could avoid casualties.

They slide so fast, this distance is almost a blink of an eye.

"Boom!" At this moment, an explosion sounded suddenly.

A sentry who was killed did not die, because his throat was cut, and he could not give a warning, so before he was about to lose consciousness, he pulled a grenade on himself.

The sound of the explosion immediately alerted the Soviet artillery.

They woke up from the dream and saw that under the bright moonlight, the famous person sliding from the snow was as fast as lightning!

"Quick, quick!" shouted one of the machine gunners, who jumped into the truck next to him.

For the artillery, the biggest threat is not the enemy's artillery, but the dive bombers from the sky, so there are anti-aircraft machine guns next to the artillery positions.

At the same time, for convenience, this double-mounted 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun is not directly mounted on the ground, but on the back of the truck, which is convenient for transferring positions at any time.

The muzzle of the anti-aircraft machine gun is upward. After the machine gunner jumped up, he wanted to reduce the elevation angle of the machine gun.

Quick, quick!

As he shouted, he shook the wheel vigorously, and blue veins burst out on his arm, but the wheel didn't move!

A few hours ago, a snow covered the machine gun, actually freezing the high and low machine!

"No!" He watched those figures getting closer and closer, and became even more anxious. At this time, another person came up, and the two of them worked hard together, only to hear a bang, and the runner broke!

"Fire, projectile trajectory!" the person on the side shouted, there is no way to do it now, the dead horse is treated as a living horse.

He pulled the trigger, and a crisp sound appeared in his ear, the bullet chain rattled, and the bullet strafeed into the sky, and then fell.

When it fell, it was still a long way from those Finnish skiers!

However, with the firing of the machine gun, the temperature of the machine gun is rising, as long as the frozen organs are opened, they can still be leveled!

"Da!" At this moment, a Finnish soldier stood in the distance, aimed at him, and opened fire.

The bullet flew out of the muzzle and flew towards the machine gunner. A second later, a hole appeared in the machine gunner's chest, and he fell back weakly.

The old hunter Aalto carried his M39 rifle behind him and continued to ski.

Royce on the side, thumbs up, amazing!

At this time, the distance between the two sides has exceeded 700 meters. In this case, the best snipers hit the target.

Royce didn't shoot. His assault rifle, the most suitable firefight distance, was no more than 500 meters. For long distances, a bolt-action rifle was more suitable.

The ski troop continued to attack the high ground, and the Soviet artillery battalion on the high ground was also hurriedly counterattacking.

Several artillerymen, shouting horns, plan to turn the howitzer around, with the muzzle facing east, and a large area can be killed with just one shot.

However, they pushed hard, but the cannon did not move at all.

"The tires are frozen!" a gunner shouted, seeing that the tires and the ground had stuck together.

The bad weather is against them, and taking this opportunity, the Finnish soldiers are still rushing up bravely!

"Da da da!" Finally, a DP machine gun opened fire, and a dense burst of bullets swept past. In an instant, several Finnish soldiers rushing in front fell down, their bodies leaned back, and the skis under their feet also flew to the ground. aside.

As long as a machine gun can suppress them, as long as the Soviets slow down, they can organize a defense line!

At this moment, the gunshot of the MP40 in Royce's hand sounded, and the dense bullets shot at the machine gunner. After two seconds, the machine gun over there was dumb!

They have already rushed to a distance of 300 meters. At this distance, submachine guns using pistol bullets cannot exert their firepower advantage, but assault rifles using 6.8mm bullets can perfectly reflect their advantages!

Not only Royce, but also more soldiers of the Mountain Division like him, the guns in their hands are firing violently, constantly pouring bullets in the past!
