The 27 Infantry Regiment was the first to arrive, and behind them, there were other infantry regiments, as well as divisional artillery.

Now, they can only hit the Soviets by surprise, tonight's action looks huge, in fact, if the Soviets are not frightened, they should know that there are only a thousand people on their side.

It is impossible to completely eat the 44th Division, and if they attack too violently, they will scare the Soviets away at any time.

For the Soviets, the biggest enemy is not the Finns, but the bitter cold weather, let the weather be Finland's helper to punish these hateful invaders!

The stove in the tent was still burning, and the Finns, accustomed to this climate, soon fell asleep, while the mountain division was still excited.

Royce closed his eyes, and he was able to appear today's scene, in the deafening sound of artillery, the Soviets' tanks, as if they were papier-mâché, had a hit rate of more than 50 percent, and in this sortie, they killed more than 20 tanks of the Finns!

"Sleep." Next to Royce, Aalto said: "Here, it's Christmas every day, and every night, we give gifts to the Soviets. ”

Now, Royce remembered that today, it seems to be really Christmas!

39 years are about to pass, 40 years, and they are coming soon.

At Christmas, everyone wants to get a Christmas present, and legend has it that Santa Claus gave it, and Santa Claus, from the far Arctic Circle, is actually Finland.

Now Finland is using the fraternity of Santa Claus to send gifts and greetings to the Soviets.

It's winter, and for Finland, the dark nights are very long, but the daytime is quite short, and if you go to the Arctic Circle, you can hardly see the sun rising, and you will be in the long polar night.

Every long night is quite difficult.

"Division commander, the 163rd Division has sent us a request, hoping that we will continue to advance and rescue them." At this time, next to the cold Latai road, Soviet troops were still on the defensive.

Hearing this telegram, Vinogradov just shook his head: "Impossible, tell them that we are now besieged by a large number of Finnish troops, please ask them to move closer to us and open the way!" ”

It had been several days, the 44th Division had daily casualties, and at times, the Finnish offensive was quite violent, which convinced Vinogradov that he was surrounded by the main forces of the Finnish army.

If you continue to move forward, it will definitely be a huge trap, and at this time, you should let the 163rd Division jump out of the encirclement by yourself and join the 44th Division!

Unbeknownst to Vinogradov, his day-by-day wait was ruining the last hope of the troops.

After saying this, he angrily lifted the curtain of the tent and looked out.

The bonfire was burning, and next to the fire, the soldiers were carrying lunch boxes with branches and roasting them on the bonfire, and inside the lunch boxes were the snow that had not yet melted.

"Division commander, our cooking trucks have all been destroyed by the enemy, and now, our fighters can only boil water and drink water to keep warm."

"What about the back? Isn't there a new cooker to replenish it? Can't even a few cauldrons be transported? "Vinogradov knew that if he continued like this, his troops would really be finished.

"An hour ago, our transport convoy was ambushed again, fortunately, the truck transporting the black bread still arrived, otherwise, our troops would have run out of food today, division commander, I suggest that we carry out ration control, otherwise once the supply is cut off, we will collapse immediately."

Since they arrived here, there has not been a single day of peace, every day is a continuous attack, the night here is too long, every dark night, they don't know how many attacks, and they don't know if they will see the next day's sun.

The supply is also often interrupted, they have become like this, the 163rd Division they are going to rescue is afraid that they will run out of food a long time ago.

"Division commander, why don't we retreat first?"

Hearing this voice, Vinogradov was even more angry: "No, of course you can't retreat!" ”

If he wants to retreat at this time, then his life will be over.

The sun, just a few hours after it had risen, had set again, and night had come again.

In the snowy mountains, an army is advancing rapidly in the mountains, they are like flying cuckoos, shuttling through the snow, and everyone is a veteran skier.

"Where are we going?" While paddling, someone asked.

Aalto turned his head and saw the still familiar Royce, and he couldn't help but reply, "It should be the town of Hawkira." ”

The New Year's bell, which has not yet struck, is now the last day of the 39th year, and when it is still dark, they see the arrival of a new army, and the artillerymen, who came with horses and camels, are already in place!

After several days of continuous raids, the 44th Division is already at the end of its strong crossbow.

The time of the general offensive was chosen on this day as a New Year's gift, and the first battle of this general offensive was at the very rear of the Soviet troops, the town of Haukira!

The town of Haukira, located on the main road of traffic, surrounded by high mountains, is exactly the position of the Yifu Guan, as long as the town of Hawira is controlled, it will block the way home of the 44th Division.

In the past, it did not immediately attack the town of Haokira, if it was blocked, the 44th Division would definitely be trapped and fighting, and in this way, not only would it not be able to complete the task of annihilation, but I am afraid that there would be greater casualties.

Finland is already small in terms of people, so it can't be lost like this.

As the 44th Division was constantly tortured by the cold, it was now exhausted that it was the last moment.

In order to capture the town of Haukira, the Finnish 27JR Infantry Regiment, which had the most combat effectiveness, dispatched 1 battalion, led by Captain Enaux-Rasila, and at the same time, with the cooperation of the German army, with recoilless guns, as fire support.

In many battles, the 75 mm recoilless gun has been proven to be the most convenient combat weapon for mountain divisions, powerful and relatively lightweight, which can attack fortifications, fight tanks, and infantry, and is simply an all-rounder!

In the past few days, Royce has also become familiar with the nearby terrain, and now, they are shuttling between the woods, just rushing to the last strategic point!

The Finnish nights are cold, and in the gloomy forests, they glide silently in the cold.

Finally, when the clock struck midnight for half an hour, they stopped.

In front of you, the town of Haukira, and you can even see Soviet sentries standing guard on the side of the road outside the town.

It's time to get your hands dirty!
