Chapter 913 Pyre Tactics

Accurate shooting, using sniping to kill the enemy, it is only a small-scale exchange of fire, large-scale battles do not require special aiming, what is needed is to pour the bullets as soon as possible, and smash the most bullets in the shortest time. To the enemy, even if you can't kill the opponent, at least suppress the opponent's firepower.

This is the meaning of the appearance of the assault rifle. Compared with the submachine gun, it has a longer range and more powerful bullets. At the same time, because they all use drums, the capacity is large and the firepower is quite strong.

Under their blows, the Soviet troops on the opposite side couldn't raise their heads at all. Their heavy weapons could not be deployed, and they were all frozen by the bad weather!

The tactical choice of the Finns was quite appropriate, if they were attacking from the west, the enemy's artillery could greet them, but now, they are attacking from the east, frozen artillery, unable to turn, frozen The anti-aircraft machine gun cannot be leveled.

Therefore, the only thing these artillerymen can use is the Monashingan rifle. Unfortunately, how can the firepower of this single-shot bolt-action rifle be comparable to the MP40?

Bullets kept pouring in. After all the brave soldiers were killed, the rest could only bow their heads and lie in the snow, for fear that they would also be killed.

Under the suppression of fire, the Finnish skiers rushed up one by one, and soon rushed to the high ground!

They held Somi submachine guns and pointed at these Soviet artillerymen, the shivering Soviets, and raised their hands.

In this way, the last guarantee of the 44th Division, the biggest support, has fallen into the hands of the Finnish army. From here, they can cut off the logistical supply of the Soviet army at any time.

Now, there is only one thing left, capture the town of Haukira!

There were not many troops in the town. When the Soviets attacked here, the Finnish army retreated. At the same time, the ordinary citizens of the town also retreated. Before leaving, they set fire to their houses.

In the cold weather, there is nothing left for the Soviets to keep out from the cold!

When the battle on the highland here started, the garrison in the town, the troops of several hundred people, were also awakened. They moved very quickly, almost within a few minutes, they got dressed and picked up their guns. rushed out.

It's a pity that the Finns moved faster. When they rushed to the high ground and prepared to reinforce, the Finnish army had already occupied the high ground!

"Fire!" When he saw the Soviets rushing over, the soldiers who had just occupied the place opened fire without any hesitation.

"Boom!" The 75mm recoilless gun, the muzzle of the blazing fire, a high-explosive grenade, flew out of the muzzle, and flew towards the opposite side.

"Boom!" The Soviet soldiers who just ran out of the town were hit by a cannonball. At this time, they were already stunned.

They thought it was their own large-caliber howitzers firing! The infantry charged towards the artillery position, it was simply courting death! Therefore, although a small number of soldiers are still charging, most of the soldiers have already retreated.

When the countless machine guns on the opposite side rang out, they didn't hesitate any longer, and ran back and forth, heading east, back to their motherland!

Looking at the repulsed Soviet soldiers, everyone cheered, they had blocked the retreat of the Soviets!

"Quick, deploy the position immediately, and prepare for the most violent counterattack from the Soviets!" Captain Lahira shouted.

They blocked the only way for the Soviets to go home, and at the same time, they also cut off the logistics supply channel of the Soviets. At this time, the Soviets will definitely launch a violent attack on their side!

Everyone is busy, lighting fires, lighting torches, baking these cannons, and anti-aircraft machine guns, adjusting their positions, preparing to block the Latai Highway, and at the same time welcoming the arrival of the final general attack.

The news that the town of Haukira in the rear was occupied by Finland reached Vinogradov's ears three hours later. When he heard this terrible news, his expression changed.

"Order our armored troops to immediately retreat, open the opening, and the armored trucks will follow. We will break through the blockade behind and retreat!" Vinogradov no longer hesitated.

He didn't dare to move forward, and it was no longer safe to stay where he was. After the back road was blocked, his only option was to retreat!

If he retreated from the beginning, there would be no problem, but now, his soldiers have lost their combat effectiveness in the severe cold, and retreating at this time is already an impossible task!

"Boom, boom, boom!" Just after he gave the order, a huge explosion sounded in the distance.

"The division commander, the division commander, our middle troops were covered by artillery fire, and they suffered heavy casualties!" The subordinate's report came up soon.

Finland's general offensive has begun!

More than a dozen kilometers away, the artillery of the Finnish Ninth Division opened fire on the serpent-like positions of the Soviet Union for half an hour, making them feel like the end of the world.

"Oh, hurry, dodge!" A Soviet soldier was half-squatting in the snow pit, trying to avoid the artillery fire, but then, he was surprised to see that on the opposite hill, a large piece of snow fell down as a whole!

The shock of the artillery fire caused a terrible avalanche here! Their position is just at the foot of the mountain, on the slope, and the thousands of cubic meters of snow just slipped down like a mudslide.

They want to hide, but there is nowhere to hide!

Thirty seconds later, the snow here fell, covering everything around it, and it was more than ten meters high!

The Soviet troops were also divided into two parts!

The news one by one made people extremely collapsed. In desperation, the Soviet soldiers watched the Finnish troops emerge from the snow-covered woods on both sides. Their tactics were not much different from before.

Through continuous interspersed and surprise attacks, they further divided and compressed Soviet positions. When divided into small pieces, Soviet soldiers quickly lost the confidence to resist.

This tactic is called "pyre tactic". The word "pyre" in Finnish refers to the piles of firewood to be chopped together. According to the Finnish tradition, they will first cut down the trees to make a pile, and then deal with them one by one later.

Here, it means that when the Finns lacked enough firepower to eliminate the Soviet "pyre" that gathered a large number of soldiers and weapons, they would first pile them up and wait, either by themselves or by Use cold and hunger to destroy enemies.

For the 44th Division, now is the last moment.
