No one knows what words to use to describe this dramatic rout. Or perhaps, there is no need for words at all, just look at the comrades who fled together around you, and then look at your empty hands and the ammunition clips that threw off the ammunition, you can understand how much this battle is fought!

The Swedish unit has always been known as the "No. 1 combat unit in Northern Europe". Therefore, not only others, but even they themselves believe that their "Nordic first" is the only existence that can oppose the Soviet Union, which is "Eastern European first".

But in the end, those are all cowhides that blow to the sky, it's okay if you don't poke it, but you can break it when you poke it!

There are more than 8,000 troops, and now there are more than 7,000 people left. Judging by any military professor of any specialty, this is far from an unbearable level of loss.

But such a large corps, which was quite complete, was dispersed so easily. Turned into sand and messy with the wind.

The Swedish Volunteer Division, from the very beginning, was the essence of the entire Nordic Army. Although their training time is a little less than that of continental European countries such as Germany and France, it is definitely the longest among the four Nordic countries.

In the Nordic Army, he had the largest number of troops, the best weapons, the most well-trained, and the longest military history, with countless legends.

Less than half an hour after the artillery battle began, the backbone of this Nordic army collapsed, scattered, and rotted!

In every respect, this is a defeat in this war.

The Swedish troops, who had been given high hopes, were not able to resist even a little decently.

The Nordic Army, from this moment on, is considered to be finished. At the same time, there was also Vyborg, which gathered the remnants of the Danish army and the Finnish detachment, and was garrisoned by the Norwegian battalion. And the entire Mannerheim Line, the entire Finnish army, and the whole of Finland!

This battle can be called a turning point in the entire Soviet-Finnish war!

The report of defeat was finally transmitted back to the Nordic Army headquarters in Vyborg. As the last formed contingent of the Nordic Army, the Norwegian battalion led by Alfred had abandoned all the outlying positions that could not be held and withdrew to the city of Vyborg.

"The Swedes were defeated, but they didn't report to us. Not even, did not contact us. Frowning, Alfred spoke to Marven in a deep voice, "Do you know what that means? ”

Although Marven has made it clear that he will do things for the Germans, Alfred can only cooperate with him at this moment.

After all, Marven also had some control over the troops, and he co-opted many of Alfred's officers. If you insist on fighting him, I'm afraid that you will lose both.

And no matter how far Marven looks with him, he is still Norwegian after all. In the final analysis, what Marvin and even Quislin behind him are doing is also thinking about Norway to some extent.

Since Alfred is going to deploy Vyborg's perimeter defense at the moment, he can also cooperate with Marven.

In Alfred's opinion, even if he eventually slipped away with his troops, he would have to make some stumbling blocks for the Soviets and hold them back. And the specific way he made the stumbling block was to let the Finnish militia in the Vyborg area be cannon fodder, exchanging the blood and sacrifice of the Finnish people for defense time.

If Marven who came from Norway with him was not allowed to do this kind of thing, would it be difficult to discuss it with the Finnish ensign who was staying in Vyborg?

"It means that they are completely defeated," Marven thought for a moment and met Alfred's gaze and said, "Perhaps, we are about to exchange fire with the Soviet army." ”

Although he said this, Marven also knew that with the mere 700 Norwegian soldiers with only light weapons in his and Alfred's hands, plus more than 20 Finnish guerrillas, and 200 Danish defeated soldiers, no matter how you look at it, they are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength.

Although they now nominally run the military headquarters of the entire Nordic Army. But without the Swedish division, this military headquarters, which has less than 1,000 people, is just an empty shell of self-deception.

What can be used is only the strength of half a regiment. This person will definitely not be able to hold the entire Vyborg defense section that the Nordic Army was originally responsible for. Of course, even the city of Vyborg alone could not be defended.

"Or ......." Marven thought for a while, tried to copy the way the Finnish partisans collected the Danish regiment, and suggested to Alfred: "I will scatter the company out of the perimeter of Vyborg again, and try to pull back the remnants of the Swedish division and consolidate the strength of the defensive line." ”

Because Alfred did not give up the preparation of slipping away at any moment, he used the name of defending the city of Vyborg to pull all the Norwegian battalion back to the city of Vyborg, leaving only the Danish volunteers, the Finnish partisans, and the Finnish National Guard to defend the trenches outside the city of Vyborg. And Marven is now going to send out troops again, which is obviously contrary to Alfred's original purpose of doing so.

"There's no point in doing that." Alfred raised his eyebrows, walked up to Marven, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Do you know why I asked you just now, what does it mean to not be able to contact the Swedish division?" ”

"I've just returned to this question." Marven looked around in confusion and said, "It means that they are completely defeated." ”

Alfred shook his head and smiled slightly, "That's not the most important thing. Most importantly, it also means that they don't want to continue to resist at all. ”

A division, no matter how defeated it is, it is by no means impossible and difficult to contact the rear. Since it has not been possible to contact it, it is very likely that even if the other party does not want to contact the current military headquarters of the Nordic Army at all.

"They don't want to keep fighting, that's why they don't want to contact us!" Alfred's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said in a deep voice, "They are going to flee without reporting and leave the battlefield without permission." ”

"They want to flee back home?!" Marven couldn't believe that the strongest army in Northern Europe would run away regardless of its image?

Although the Swedish division was defeated, they definitely still had no less than a few thousand troops. If such a military-trained force could join the Vyborg Line, it would greatly relieve the current pressure.

Compared with the cannon fodder that Alfred threw him on the front line, Marven is more optimistic about this volunteer army composed of professional soldiers who failed but still had a large base.

Thousands of soldiers with a higher level of training than his own troops, how could Marven, who was bent on holding Vyborg according to the German side's will, let it go like this.

He even preferred to believe that the Swedish division's inability to contact was more of an outsider than the worst-case scenario Alfred had guessed.

"These are your personal speculations after all," the silence was shocked for a long time before Marven slowly organized his words and tried to refute Alfred: "Perhaps, everything that is happening now is just something else." ”

"Nope! This is not an accident! Alfred said categorically with an affirmative expression: "Everything that is happening now is no coincidence, it is all deliberately done by the Swedes!" ”

"Why?" Marven clenched his fists nervously and asked in a sweat.

"It's simple, because what they're doing now," Alfred said with the corners of his mouth curled slightly, "exactly what I wanted to do." ”
