The capital of Finland, Helsinki.

"One of our reconnaissance planes, which has just detected the exact situation, has a new Soviet unit, which has been mobilized to the front line, and it has been confirmed that it is the 44th Division of the Soviets." An officer put the photo he had just picked up on the table.

Loeb picked up the photo and looked at the Soviet boys above, still wearing autumn clothes, and suddenly he was dumbfounded: "It seems that the Soviets really thought that this war would end soon, and they didn't even change their winter clothes." ”

As a commander, it is necessary to know oneself and one's enemy, and now, those present are no strangers to the 44th Division of the Soviets.

This is a meritorious unit, a strong division that has come from the civil war of the Soviet Union, and its combat effectiveness is very strong, at least in every exercise in the Soviet Union.

"Now that we have besieged the Soviet 163rd Division on the front line, we intend to concentrate all our efforts on eating this army, and we have disrupted their logistical supply by waging guerrilla warfare in the rear, and now, the arrival of this new force may worsen the situation at the front." Mannerheim said.

No matter how arrogant the Soviets are, this is always a fierce enemy and needs to be taken seriously, for the time being, the strength of the front line, eating the 163rd Division is just right, if you deal with the 44th Division, I am afraid that it will not be able to complete the set goal.

"Yes, we have to revise our operational policy." Loeb said that as a military adviser, he now has more and more power, all in order to win the war.

Now, for example, his suggestions are basically adopted.

"How?" Mannerheim asked.

"We only have a small number of troops left, it is enough to contain the 163rd Division, and then, mobilize most of the army, use the same tactics, harass, besiege, and finally eat the 44th Division, let Moscow know that Finland is invincible!"

According to Mannerheim's thoughts, he was already planning to give up the 163rd Division, after all, the reinforcements of the other side would make his own side unbearable, but Loeb's appetite was even greater, eating the 44th Division!

This is different from the 163rd Division, which is the elite unit of the Soviet Union, and if this division is eaten by Finland, it will make the Soviets really realize that if they want to defeat Finland, they will have to pay a very big price, too big to bear!

Of course, this is somewhat risky.

Mannerheim was pondering, he needed to think clearly, and on the side, another general, Silas Vouo, had happily slapped the table: "Okay, I think this is a good way, let the Soviets know that Finland is invincible, and they will destroy the 44th Division in formation!" ”

Silas Vou'o is also an important leader of the Finnish army, and his approval finally made Mannerheim no longer hesitate: "Okay, then we will listen to General Loeb and eat the elite troops of the Soviets!" ”

The decision of the Finnish top brass laid the tragic end of the 44th Division, and a big net has been unfolded to them!

At this time, the 44th Motorized Division was still assembling on the Finnish border.

A motorized division refers to a type of military that carries out maneuvers on vehicles and fights on foot. It is characterized by a high speed of movement before the start of the battle, adaptation to various terrain conditions, and flexible maneuverability. But there was no necessary cover when conducting battles, and the pace of development of the battle was slow.

The difference with mechanized divisions is that mechanized divisions use infantry fighting vehicles, which can be directly put into battle, while motorized divisions arrive at the battlefield by car and then fight on foot.

Even so, according to the always large troop establishment of the Soviet Union, this motorized division is quite well organized, for example, it also has more than fifty tanks!

Since the first batch of T-34s produced were supplied to the Finnish battlefield, the Ukrainian troops in the rear still drove their T-26 tanks to act as pioneers.

Behind the T-26 tank, their main motorized equipment, the BA-6 armored car.

This is also a characteristic of the Soviets.

You know, the cost of producing tanks is very large, the Soviet army is too large, and it is impossible to replace tanks in large quantities from the point of view of cost, so many troops can only retreat to the next best thing and use truck chassis for modification, after all, the cost of producing trucks is much smaller than that of tanks.

In the October Revolution, there were a lot of armored cars, but at that time they were all simple modifications on ordinary cars, as long as they could be bulletproof, the performance was too poor, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, with the continuous development of the country's economy, armored cars also ushered in a new spring.

The BA-6 armored car, which was modified by the GAZ plant on the basis of the domestic three-axle car GAZ-AAA, is still the conventional structure of a six-wheeled truck from the chassis, however, bulletproof tires are used here, and porous rubber is filled in the middle.

The weight of the whole vehicle is only 5.12 tons, so the performance is good when driving, and there will be no lack of power.

At the same time, it is equipped with a BT turret, a 45 mm gun, two DT machine guns, such armored trucks, just used to wipe out the ubiquitous Finnish partisans, and the firepower is absolutely formidable.

Behind them were a much larger number of trucks, towing all kinds of artillery and at the same time, various supply vehicles. After they were first transferred by train, they finally completed the assembly, and now, they entered the war zone!

The entire division, which became a long snake formation, set out from the border, walked through the battlefield, and headed towards Suomsarmi, where the 163rd Division was besieged.

"Buzz, buzz." The gasoline engine was roaring, and in the middle of an armored truck, the division commander Vinogradov, leaned on the back of a chair, his body jolting with the vehicle.

The position of the division commander is very incommensurate with his age, until now, he is only a young man in his thirties, and just two years ago, he was only a captain, in that vigorous purge, he actively participated in the movement, in the movement to release his youth, the bosses above his head, one by one, were cleansed, and he also rose level by level.

Now, it's already a division commander! Thinking about all this, he is excited every time.

In this position, he worked very hard, carefully organized every military parade, and his troops, the military appearance during the parade was the best! It won the appreciation of Marshal Voroshinov, and now, at last, there is a chance to show them!

He seemed to see that the honor of the marshal beckoned to him, and as long as he could win the battle beautifully this time, he would surely continue to rise until he became the most trusted subordinate at Stalin's side!

It was too bumpy and cold inside the tank, and in an armored car, it was still good, he wrapped his military coat tightly and continued to squint, and at this moment, the car suddenly braked suddenly.

"Boom!" An explosion came almost synchronously.
