A conscription force of this magnitude is already the limit of an industrial country. No matter how much pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info is about to face the crisis of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, there is no need to worry about anything, and gather all forces to fight to the death. And that's the case in Finland today.

The Finns armed themselves with weapons and supplies from the various military bases that Russia had previously built here, as well as the various weapons that the Allies had transported to Finland. At the same time, they have received assistance from various countries. Cargo ships from various countries took advantage of the cover of night to drive their transports to the ports controlled by the Finns, and unloaded large quantities of military supplies.

And the Finns are not alone. In addition to Finland, there are two other countries in Scandinavia, Norway and Sweden. Norway and Sweden, which also joined the brutal war, could not remain silent at this time. They provided any assistance to Finland as much as they could. From reinforcements to military supplies, from bread to planes. In order to avoid the crisis of national destruction, all of them burst out with great potential.

Compared to the Finns, who were determined to fight to the death for the survival of their country, and who broke out under tremendous pressure, they broke out with a strong mourning momentum. The Ming army, which was getting smoother and smoother, seemed a little absent-minded.

On the map of the world, drawn by the Ming Dynasty, Finland is an insignificant country. Even many Ming people have never heard of such a place in the world. In this case, even Russia, the suzerainty of the Finns, was beaten by itself, and it is conceivable what kind of mood the Ming army would have when facing the Finns.

The Ming army did not take the Finns seriously at all, and in the minds of the Ming army, the armed forces of the Finns were nothing more than a group of militias. Especially after they easily crossed the Karelian Isthmus, the Ming army's contempt for the Finnish army reached its highest peak.

The intelligence services of the Ming army did not send special personnel to collect intelligence on Finland. They simply casually forwarded the information they had gathered from the Russian General Staff on Finland directly to the Army.

The Ming intelligence service also believed that the Finns had less than 30,000 men, were poorly equipped, and had basically no combat capability for the local militia. They simply did not focus on the Finns, or rather, on Scandinavia as a whole. The eyes of the Ming intelligence services were all on Germany and the Poles.

And the officers and men of the Ming Army's Nordic Army Group also did not pay much attention to the Finns. All day long they talked about when they would be able to take Warsaw, when they would be able to take Berlin, when they would be able to swim in the English Channel. The hearts of the officers and men were all unusually relaxed.

As for the mighty Ming Army Aviation, they routinely kept tons and tons of bombs in the Finns' cities, and reported that they had destroyed their targets. Neither the ground forces nor the army had any interest in the vast forests of Finland, nor did they send troops to scout them. So much so that they didn't even notice the Finnish troops hiding in the forest.

The reason why the Finns took the initiative to abandon the favorable fortified terrain of the Karelian Isthmus was mainly due to two considerations. First, the Finns knew very well that they could not resist the attack of the Ming army, and that holding the Karelian Isthmus would inevitably attract the attention of the Ming army, thus turning the war into a brutal war of attrition. In terms of the national strength of the Finns, a war of attrition with the Ming Dynasty, even in the defense of favorable terrain, is an act of seeking death.

The Finns' strategy was simple: to make peace by fighting. The method of luring the enemy into the vast forest was used to pull the troops of the Ming army into the vast forest, and the mechanized power of the Ming army was weakened as much as possible. Ambush the Ming army in the forest area while lengthening the supply line of the Ming army. This was also the only viable way for the Finns to fight. In a positional war of attrition, the Finns had no chance of winning. The Ming Army could wipe them all out with even artillery and bombers.

Only by successfully ambushing the Ming troops by adopting a surprise combat method and inflicting a painful blow on the Ming army can we obtain a favorable negotiating position. After all, the main targets of the Ming army were the Western European powers and the Americans. As long as the Ming army suffered heavy losses and a large number of prisoners were taken, it might be possible to give a part of the land and benefits in exchange for a chance for peace.

That's right, the Finns think that even if they win the war, they will go to the Ming to negotiate as a loser and keep their land and interests as much as possible. This is the sorrow of a weak country. Even if the Ming army that entered Finland was wiped out, it would not be a big deal. Because the Ming army has enough strength to make a comeback. And if the Finns are defeated, it will be the end of the country.

Another reason for voluntarily abandoning the Karelian Isthmus is simple: the Finns tried to make a gesture of submission to make Daming understand his thoughts. However, it seems that the Ming did not understand the good intentions of the Finns. They still marched their troops into Finland.

In late April, when the main forces of the Ming Army Group Center engaged the Allies in a fierce battle near the Brest Fortress. In the north, a fierce battle also broke out in Finland. When the troops of the Ming Army's Nordic Army Group penetrated deep into Finland's nearly 200-kilometer-long area, the Finnish army, which had been struggling with patience, suddenly began to attack, and dealt a major blow to the Ming army in the vast forest.

There are very few truly industrialized cities in Finland, and they are very small. At least compared to the cities of other powerful countries of the era, the cities of the Finns were more of a kind of small town. The fully mechanized Ming army had to run along a narrow road through the forest to Helsinki in Finland, where there was little communication to speak of. But less than 20 kilometres from Helsinki, they were attacked by Finnish troops who had long been hiding in the forests on either side of the road.

Countless tongues of fire erupted from the dark forest, and long chains of machine-gun tracer bullets killed a large number of Ming officers and soldiers on trucks. And a very good anti-tank gun concealed with accurate artillery fire fired armor-piercing shells into the armored vehicles of the Ming army from the side, turning those powerful armored units into piles of burning torches.

The Ming army, which was suddenly attacked, began to fight back frantically, and the entire forest turned into a huge battlefield. Countless bullet rains smashed many towering trees into powder, and the dense bullet rain almost reflected the dark forest red. The Daming Army Aviation that rushed to support it couldn't find the enemy target at all. Because the Finn armies were hidden in the forest.

The Ming troops, on the other hand, had long queues on the poorly quality roads, and were so frightened after the attack that it became extremely difficult to even mobilize troops. The lightly armed Finnish army, on the other hand, was able to move quickly through the forest and attack the long marching columns of the Ming army from different places.

The tactics of the Finns were unprecedentedly successful, and the Ming army, which had difficulty moving, could not organize an effective resistance. It was difficult for the armoured units to enter the forest, and the infantry were under intense fire from Finn snipers and hidden firing points once they entered the forest. The Ming army, which suffered heavy casualties, was caught in a dilemma.

Hundreds of thousands of troops of the Ming Army Group Nordic were scattered along long marching routes, and it was difficult for them to concentrate even their forces after an attack. The losses of the Ming army, which had fallen into disarray, began to skyrocket.

The Ming troops on the road hurriedly gathered the armoured vehicles that could still move together to form a steel phalanx to block the Finns' attack. Because they couldn't find a target, the troops of the Daming Army Aviation were wandering around the sky like headless flies, and they dropped their bombs in the forest indiscriminately, but they rarely achieved anything.

Dense forests and thick layers of fallen leaves greatly hindered the bomb's power, and the aerial attacks that had previously terrified the Allied officers and soldiers were extremely weak.

In the face of constant calls for help from ground forces, the Army Fighter Unit urgently changed the ammunition it carried. They abandoned the addition of high-explosive bombs and opted instead to use incendiary bombs to attack the Finnish troops in the forest. Although this weapon achieved good results, the raging fire also greatly endangered the Ming army.

In desperation, the commander of the Ming Army's Nordic Army Group could only order a full retreat of the troops. What is shocking is that many Finnish soldiers are stubbornly approaching the Ming army marching column in urgent retreat under the attack of incendiary bombs. The casualties of the Ming army were constantly expanding with heavy fire.

Three days later, when a heavy rain extinguished the forest fires, the embarrassed Ming troops finally stabilized their position after retreating hundreds of kilometers rapidly. However, during these three days, at least nearly 50,000 Ming officers and soldiers, hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles, more than 200 artillery pieces, a large number of trucks, jeeps, and various military supplies were damaged in the Finnish attack.

When the battle damage report was sent to Zhang Cheng, Zhang Cheng, who didn't care much about the Finnish battlefield, was shocked. The Finnish army, which was considered to be only a militia and had no combat effectiveness to speak of, actually succeeded in repelling hundreds of thousands of elite Ming mechanized troops and inflicting heavy losses on them. This is something that the main Russian army has not done.

Zhang Cheng's attention to Finland was instantly raised. He was keenly aware that relying on traditional methods of attacking would hardly take advantage of the Finns, who had the advantage of the terrain. And Zhang Cheng was also unwilling to end the battle in Finland and give the small country a chance to live.

Zhang Cheng, who pursues to bring the whole world together under the Golden Dragon of the Great Tomorrow, is unwilling to let Finland go. Because he is worried that once he starts this way, other countries will follow suit and fight the Ming army to the end. Even if his elite army was dealt a heavy blow in the vast forests of Finland, Zhang Cheng was determined to take the small country.

After rejecting the Finns' offer to pay for part of the territory and various rights and interests in the condition of an armistice, Zhang Cheng began to gather troops and return to the battlefield. Although the performance of the Finns was a surprise. But the strength of the Ming army is not something they can really shake. (To be continued.) )
