Chapter Seventy-Seven: One Night (Ask for Recommendation Votes!) )
"Sir!"
Lao Maozi recognized Yu Zhiqian at a glance, and after putting down his weapon, he wanted to salute, but Yu Zhiqian immediately pulled out his hand: "If you have something to say on the battlefield in the future, don't salute me!" After finishing speaking, he came to the place where the people were more concentrated: "How about the casualties?" ”
"Twenty-six people were killed, and seventeen were wounded!"
After a short sneak attack, a quarter of the combat effectiveness had been lost, Yu Zhiqian looked at the wounded soldier and took down the things on the snowboard that the wolf was dragging behind: "There is a little fur here, give the wounded who need it, and report to the regiment headquarters, and the rest of the people immediately return to their snow huts, if anyone dares to make a fire again, the sentry, kill him directly!" ”
"Yes!"
This time, all the old Maozi didn't dare to have any opinions, they knew very well what the reason for this attack was, although the two people who made the fire were dead, they were still being cursed by Lao Maozi.
There was nothing to say all night, when the sun rose as usual, one after another old hairy people came out of the snow, looking around in confusion, a little unbelievable that they had survived another night, except for the people who were killed by a sneak attack in the middle of the night, there were no people who froze to death overnight.
Yu Zhiqian was much more cautious, first broke a small hole in the snow room, carefully observed the surroundings, and made sure that there were no Finns, and then slowly crawled out of the snow room, after the night passed, all the wounded in the camp had died, there was no medical condition, the injured were waiting for death, and the war was so cruel.
"Keep going!"
The deceased was buried on the spot, and after packing up his equipment, Yu Zhiqian ate two mouthfuls of potatoes and black bread that were harder than stones, pulled two mouthfuls of snow into his mouth, and then ordered to move forward.
It's not that Yu Zhiqian doesn't want to rest, doesn't want to drink hot water, doesn't want to eat hot food, but now there are no conditions at all, if a fire is lit now, the damp wood point will then rise smoke, which will attract the surrounding Finnish soldiers to come and hunt.
Now Lao Maozi is like a prey in the snow, and those Finnish soldiers are hunters, constantly hovering around their prey, from time to time, biting hard, and then slipping away.
"Here you go!" Yu Zhiqian took out a frozen and hard jerky and threw it to the white wolf behind him, these jerky were captured from the Finnish camp, and now Yu Zhiqian is not short of food, although the logistics of the Soviets are very bad, but a company from nearly 200 people, now there are only a few dozen people left, and each person's ration is enough to last for about a week.
"Sir, I see a sign ahead, and with five kilometers to go, we'll be able to reach the target area!" At this time, the acting platoon commander Bobosky, holding a map, walked to Yu Zhiqian's side.
"If you want to die, don't pull me!" Seeing the map in Pobosky's hand, Yu Zhiqian immediately pressed him under him, and then found a hidden position before daring to check the map, not that Yu Zhiqian was all soldiers, but kept looking at the white, it was easy to appear dazzling, and he couldn't see the surrounding enemies clearly, and the ghost knew if there were Finnish snipers at this time.
"Sir, now we are probably here, and then our target Haina Town, according to our current speed, will be able to reach Hai'an Town before dark today, but the regimental headquarters is for us to take Haina Town at noon today!"
Yu Zhiqian shook his head and threw the map aside: "Don't worry about the orders of the regimental headquarters, continue to move forward, and in an hour, when you arrive at the Kamu River, everyone will take a rest!" ”
"Yes!"
Five kilometers is very close, but now it is in the snow, it takes a lot of physical energy to take a step, and it is basically impossible to arrive before noon for a distance of five kilometers, and there is no need for Yu Zhiqian to carry out a forced march, continue to maintain this speed forward, otherwise if there is a problem along the way, the whole army may be wiped out.
Along the way, Yu Zhiqian found a lot of old Maozi's corpses, the middle route army was not only Yu Zhiqian's army, more than 100,000 people attacked from the middle route, and wanted to directly insert the heart of the Finns, Helsinki, the capital of Finland, but now it seems that they have all failed.
In fact, the Soviets wanted to bulldoze the Finns, and there were many ways, such as concentrating their forces, and directly crushing them all the way with their advantages, ignoring the small forces that attacked them around them, and after taking down the big cities, those troops on the snowfields would be self-defeating.
But the commander of Lao Maozi, for some reason, not only did they not concentrate their forces on a large-scale advance, but instead adopted the so-called steady and steady tactics, that is, every step forward, they had to clear the surrounding Finns, and it was obvious that the consequence of this was that they were constantly harassed by the Finns on a small scale and dragged into the abyss of war.
"The target is a total of ninety-three people, no heavy weapons, and is heading in the direction of Haina Town!" Not far from the route where Yu Zhiqian and the others were advancing, in a low-lying snow pit, there were two Finns, wearing white cloaks and holding binoculars, constantly counting the number of Yu Zhiqian's troops, and a soldier with a walkie-talkie on his back kept sending information back to the headquarters.
"Withdraw!"
After counting the number of people, the two Finns quietly climbed back for some distance, and then disappeared into the vast snowfield, these scouts were the eyes of the Finns.
At half past twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was in the sky, this was the warmest time in the whole winter in Finland, and the current position of Yu Zhiqian and others did not look much bigger than before, a birch forest, mixed with European spruce and red pine, as if this forest could never go out.
Yu Zhiqian constantly discerned the direction, confirmed that he was indeed not taking the wrong road, and had been moving in a straight line, in this environment, people are very easy to get lost, and the so-called things that can identify the direction are covered by thick snow.
"It's about less than a kilometer ahead, and after crossing a river, you'll reach the target Haina Town!" After Yu Zhiqian made sure that his position was not wrong, he took a deep breath and then followed the team to move on.
Now the whole team is a little listless, the scenery that has not changed for a long time, and the bullets that may come out at any time are destroying the psychological defense line of these young Soviet fighters, and even Yu Zhiqian feels a depressing atmosphere, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
If he could, Yu Zhiqian wanted to shout a few loudly now to soothe his emotions, but obviously he couldn't, so he could attract more Finns, maybe they were waiting for Yu Zhiqian and the others to make mistakes in a corner.
The team is very silent, moving forward little by little, the only thing that is still lively is the wolf that was caught yesterday, not counting the one that was caught, it should be regarded as running with him, Yu Zhiqian is now accepting it, at least in the snow, it can drag a lot of things, and it can save a lot of effort.
