Since the launch of the all-out attack in the morning, Lin Juntong has maintained a high degree of tension with everyone in the headquarters, paying attention to every move in front at any time, and the battle reports sent back are very satisfactory to everyone in the headquarters!

On the northern border, the "northern wolves", who had been trained for more than a year, entered the forest area a day earlier, and encroached on Finland's living forces in droves, leaving the ski troops that the Finns were counting on to be exhausted, and for a while there was no effective counterattack plan. The "guerrillas" www.biquge.info took the experience and tactics of the civil war to the extreme, and the Finnish forests had become their hunting grounds.

On the shores of the Barents Sea, heavily armored units, with the cooperation of Siberian skiers, occupied Ostari and Petsamo before dark, and are currently resting and regrouping in these small towns, which will block Finland's access to the Barents Sea tomorrow.

On the most important Karelian Isthmus, the assault forces advanced twenty-thirty-five kilometers along the entire line in six hours during the day, and the front had reached the front of the strongest main defensive zone of the "Mannalien Line", and the advance was less than forty kilometers from Vyborg! The absolute superiority of 500,000 men and technical equipment was already apparent, and the night defense system composed of tanks made it impossible for the Finnish detachments in the isthmus area to take advantage of it, but after nightfall, their own infantry detachments also touched several Finnish strongholds.

In the direction of Khotinin, the 19th Infantry Corps, under the cover of heavy artillery units, also carried out a strong attack on the Finnish defensive fort of Khottinin after dark, using Zhukov's method at the Harakha River: using searchlights to open the way, using shelling observation balloons to obtain detailed coordinates for heavy artillery, and before the tanks and infantry rushed into the small town of Khotinin, all the permanent fire points of the resistance hub were destroyed.

Everything went well, but the casualties were not small, and the preliminary casualty statistics received in less than a day had exceeded 6,000, of which the number of casualties reached more than 1,500.

A strong assault can only mean huge casualties, but the Kremlin is already satisfied with such casualties relative to the results achieved and the total number of troops involved.

"There are no immortals in war!" When the members of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet and the members of the Central Committee of the Kremlin received the report on the war sent back by Lin Jun at 21 o'clock, Stalin made such a comment.

Everyone in the Kremlin knew about the situation of the "Mannalien Line", and half of it had been conquered on the first day, which showed that Lin Jun's "heavy tactics" were correct. According to the information sent back from Finland, the Finns have only just begun to organize their reserve forces, and it will take at least a week to complete the organization, by which time Vyborg should have been under their control.

The situation on land was progressing rapidly, and the landing operation in the Gulf of Finland was relatively smooth: on the island of Lavan, the elite 1st Airborne Division, in cooperation with the Red Navy landing battle, adopted airborne tactics, for which almost half of the Red Army's transport aircraft were used. By 20 o'clock, the Airborne Forces had established themselves on the island and were similar to the landing Red Infantry (Soviet troops, similar to the Marine Corps in general, but also different. The 1st Airborne Division suffered less than 300 casualties, which was smaller than expected.

The conquest of Lawan Island should be attributed to the fact that the greatest drawback of the Airborne Forces has been overcome in recent years, that is, the serious lack of weapons for attacking the fortifications. The RPG-7 was equipped with an effective weapon against general forts and fortified targets, and after the Red Navy naval guns and aviation basically destroyed the heavy fortresses on the island, the airborne troops attacked at the same time as the Red Navy infantry, which caught the Finnish defenders, who had never seen what airborne combat was, by surprise.

The only thing that made Lin Jun dissatisfied was his "descendant" -- the air force, because of the need for a large number of aircraft to support the front-line operations and destroy the logistics supply lines of the Finns, after three small-scale air raids on the port of Helsinki, he even got a report: not all the Finnish ships in the port were sunk!

This made Lin Jun lose face, but the limited air force could not do everything on the first day, and the original bombing of the port of Helsinki was more political than military, and the goal of the Karelian Isthmus was the focus, which was also the situation created by Lin Jun's own decision - he sent all the dive bombers to deal with the Finnish fortresses on the isthmus and support the landing battle.

According to Lin Jun's plan, the morning of December 1 was the end of the Finnish ships in the port of Helsinki, especially the few Finnish warships that could still move, but I didn't expect the Finns to sit still and boldly chose to evacuate the port of Helsinki.

The report of the C-1 made Lin Jun ecstatic, and the battle of the submarine heroes forced the command to redeploy the air raid plan for the next day overnight, deploying the mission of a detachment of dive bombers back to attack the "Mannerrein Line".

Lin Jun knew how much naval strength the Finns had, and the two "Venamoinen"-class coastal defense battleships were the treasures of the Finnish Navy, which had just been commissioned in the early 30s, and they were considered new ships, but they were easily sent to the bottom of the sea by the C-1.

Lin Jun and Orlov had high hopes for the new "Stalin" type submarines, although this time judging from the simple battle report that it used completely traditional tactics, but it was enough to make the Red Navy and the Kremlin raise their eyebrows: the German U-boat force has made the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea their hunting grounds, and even the British Scapa Bay anchorage has become a stepping stone for the German captain to receive the Iron Cross. Synonymous with "Killer of the Deep", as in World War I, the U-boat made its opponents talk about it.

In addition to showing its face at the coronation parade of the British king, the Red Navy has not made any major moves for so many decades, and this time the C-1 is playing the prestige of the Red Navy, which of course makes Orlov and the Kremlin happy.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, the Red Banner Baltic Sea Submarine Force sent the list of crew members of the C-1, because it was Lin Jun's decision to award the medal, and the list needed to be approved by him.

Aksheli Ivanovich Berg, as a relatively well-known communications expert, Lin Jun has dealt with him several times in the equipment department, and he is not a stranger.

"Lieutenant Alexandre Marinesko?" Lin Jun seemed to have heard of this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it all of a sudden.

"Chief, do you need me to find his information?"

Gusev, who was on the side, heard Lin Jun nagging about a person's name, and knew that he had a "hobby of investigating people", so he asked.

"No, I just think this person doesn't seem to have heard of it, and I can't remember it. Tomorrow their submarine will return, and you will probably remember it when you see it. ”

Looking up at the wall clock on the wall, "You go and rest, tomorrow will be busy." ”

"Okay, I'll be out there if there's something."

He knew that Lin Jun was just talking casually, the chief must be an all-nighter today, and it was impossible for him to sleep steadily, so it would be good to take a nap on the sofa.

Just a moment after Gusev walked out of the office, Lin Jun thought about why he paid special attention to that name.

"Hehe, "Killer King", I'll make you the captain when I come back. ”

"Killer King"? For Lin Jun's memory, Alexander Marinesko is the "king of killing": at 23:08 on January 30, 1945, the Red Navy submarine "C-13" under the command of Lieutenant Commander Alexander Marinesko sank the German large submariner personnel training ship "Wilhelm Gustloff" with three torpedoes in the waters near the Hale Peninsula off the Polish coast in the Baltic Sea. And so that the submarine force of the Soviet Red Navy was recorded in the "Guinness Book of World Records" because of this sortie.

During World War II, German U-boats in the Atlantic Ocean and American submarines in the Pacific Ocean were in the limelight, and German U-boats occupied the top few places in the "tonnage king" of submarine sinking enemy ships, but the "C-13" led by Alexander Marinesko became the "killing king" in the history of submarine warfare in World War II.

The attack by the C-13 sent more than 7,700 people, a large part of whom were members of the German submarine force, into the bottom of the sea, and trained for the secret plan to cover after the war. When Hitler learned of this, he immediately declared the submarine captain a direct enemy of Germany and himself.

To be Hitler's "personal enemy" and Germany's national enemy is estimated to be "worthy of writing in the history books"! All this allowed Alexander Marinesko to rise to the same position as Stalin and Churchill in Hitler's "list of enemies".

Being able to see the name of this "Killing King" in the list, it's no wonder that Lin Jun seems to have heard of it somewhere.

It can be said that the battle between the Red Navy and the German Navy in World War II was like wrestling in a small room, and no one could use it, and Marinesko and his C-13 were like stars in a team of average level, and their own ability and good luck made him famous.

And the result of the C-1 this time is the same, good luck and ability can completely annihilate two coastal defense battleships.

Of course, Lin Jun will not let go of a submarine commander with development potential: even if Berg is successful after returning to port, he will return to his post as a radio expert, and the captain with a broken leg will wait for the new ship to be launched before taking up his post, and with Lin Jun's recommendation and Orlov, the new captain of the C-1 is none other than Lieutenant Alexander Marinesko.
