Since the Norwegian-Finnish border is located in Lapland, which is three-quarters of the Arctic Circle and bordered by the Barents Sea of the Arctic Ocean to the north, the temperature on the Norwegian-Finnish border is close to freezing, which is as cold as winter in the south.

Werner hugged his G41 rifle and curled up behind makeshift bunker with his head down, asleep deeply.

And before that, he had not rested for two days in a row.

The position that Werner defended was on the outskirts of the city of Bitavaler and was a small piece of high ground.

It stands to reason that such a small piece of high ground is dispensable for the defenders, because its altitude is not high, and it is still a certain distance from Bittawale, although the loss of it will make the Germans threaten the safety of the main road leading to Finnmark in the north, but because the Norwegian army in Finnmark has almost been wiped out by the German-Finnish army, even if the Norwegian army loses control of this main road, it will have no effect on the defense of Bitawal or Finnmark.

But it was the loss of such a dispensable small plateau that allowed the Norwegian defenders of Bitavaler to violently counterattack for two days, sacrificing the lives of hundreds of soldiers.

In the words of the commander of the German Twelfth Army, "Bitawal is simply wasting the precious lives of his soldiers and taking the initiative to weaken the already weak defenses of Bitavale, and I now wonder if the commander of the Norwegian defenders of Bitawal is one of our men, or if he is crazy, after all, this kind of madness is not what a normal commander should do." ”

"Ready for battle! Norwegians are rushing up again! ”

Not long after Werner fell asleep in a daze, a nervous shout and the ensuing fierce gunfire brutally pulled him back to reality from his rare sleep.

"Damn barbarians!" With two dark circles under his eyes, Werner cautiously poked his head out from behind cover, observing the surrounding situation, and complained to himself with a frown, "I really don't understand how they can have such good energy, and a broken place is worth their trouble and effort?" ”

But complaining is complaining, and the Norwegians rushed to the front and still had to fight.

"Phew! Bang! Bang! As Werner pulled the trigger quickly, the G41 rang out rhythmically and spat out bullets that represented death.

Under the pressure of the German firepower, the Norwegian army attacked as usual, and after losing a lot of corpses, it retreated to the starting point of the attack.

After seeing the Norwegian troops retreating, the German positions were quiet again, except for the German sentries in charge of guarding, the rest of the German soldiers retreated back into the trenches and hurried to sleep.

However, before they could sleep, the Norwegians attacked again.

"Ahhhh TMD I'm going crazy! Werner stood up with the G41 in his hands, his legs shaking, his eyes bloodshot at the running Norwegian soldier, his hand mechanically pulling the trigger.

As on previous occasions, the Norwegians were driven down by German soldiers not long after they attacked.

Seeing that the Norwegian soldiers had retreated again, Werner threw away the rifle in his hand and collapsed directly behind the bunker.

The long hours of fighting had brought Werner and the rest of the German soldiers to the brink of mental collapse, and it was to be expected that if this situation continued for a while, there would definitely be a large number of non-combat attrition.

"Company commander, let's withdraw." The company deputy also had red eyes, and persuaded the company commander, "Let's give up this position to the Norwegians, if this continues, the brothers may die suddenly." ”

Not only did the soldiers get tired of it, but even the commanders were overwhelmed by the frequent attacks.

"Hold on a little longer, the reinforcements that the regimental headquarters will give us will arrive soon." The company commander gritted his teeth and said, the position that took the lives of many soldiers made him really unwilling to retreat like this, "And what if the Norwegians give up?" If we retreat, won't we lose all our efforts? ”

But as soon as he had said this, the gunshots rang out again.

"Here we go again!" Lian Ji slapped his forehead and said weakly, "It's really endless!" ”

As usual, the gunfire rang out for a while, and then it stopped again.

"Company commander! Captain! Not long after the end of this battle, the medical squad leader with a haggard face hurriedly ran into the company headquarters and said anxiously to the company commander, "Many soldiers have symptoms of fainting, what should I do?" ”

"Company commander! Let's withdraw! When the deputy heard this, he became even more anxious.

"Withdraw!" The company commander gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "But sooner or later I will fight back, where the German soldiers will get up if they fall there!" ”

As the company commander gave the order to retreat, more than 100 exhausted Germans supported each other and staggered away from the high ground where they had fought for two days and nights.

Just when the Germans were baffled by the Norwegians' desperate attempt to capture this small plateau, the Norwegians began to use the same tactics against other German positions.

After losing a few more positions in this way, the Germans gradually figured out what the Norwegians were planning to do - the defenders of Bitawal were sure that the Germans besieging Bitavale were outnumbered, and they would only have enough strength to attack when the German troops in Finnmark County had cleared up Finnmark to come to support.

However, although the number of German troops besieging Bitavale was insufficient, it was not something that the defenders of Bitavale could deal with, so the defenders of Bitavale came up with such a crooked trick and gradually encroached on the German positions.

Am I not unable to beat you? Then I won't fight you hard, I'll annoy you, won't let you sleep, see if you can leave! So thought the Norwegian commander.

However, this method of warfare was not the first of its kind by Norwegian commanders, and on November 26, 1937, a similar method of warfare was applied to an island nation by a country that played tricks and played tricks, and they gave it a vivid name - Sparrow War.

Of course, this tactic used by the Norwegian army is still very different from sparrow warfare, but their core idea is the same.

Reality has also proved that this kind of tactics is indeed very effective, anyway, the German army has suffered a lot in the past few days, not eating well, sleeping and sleeping well, closed your eyes within two minutes of the Norwegians called, you open your eyes and him, he ran again, and when you close your eyes, he comes again, and the cycle repeats, making the heads of German soldiers as big as cattle.

In this way, under this strange tactic, the German army was forced to retreat step by step, and retreat is a situation that the German army has never seen since the beginning of the war.
