Chapter 493: Change of Generals

"This is hell, the Finns are the devil" is the consensus of many Russian soldiers who participated in the war, the harsh weather and difficult terrain hindered and neutralized the advantage of Soviet mechanization, and now without the cover of infantry, the Soviet tanks would not even dare to attack piecemeal. Finnish soldiers often lay in ambush on the side of the road and when the Soviets passed by lone tanks, they quickly stuffed the frozen wood into the tracks of the tanks, turning the originally majestic tanks into motionless turtle shells, and killed them one by one when the tankmen came out to inspect the tanks.

Finnish soldiers also Chinese New Year's Eve used Molotov cocktails found in the Spanish Civil War, containing oil, phosphorus, accelerants and other substances in glass bottles and other containers, causing extremely Chinese New Year's Eve damage to Soviet positions and vehicles. Usually just throw the "Molotov cocktail" into the back of the Soviet tank, and it won't be long before the city of guys on Chinese New Year's Eve turns into a blazing torch.

On January 2, 1940, a Soviet and Russian logistics baggage army of several hundred people with thousands of mules and horses was outflanked by the Finnish army on the way forward. So the infantry, who resolutely obeyed the order, starved to death after holding out for four days, and they did not slaughter even a single horse until they died, because these horses were the wealth of the Russian government, and they did not receive an order to slaughter them. So, when all these Russian soldiers starved to death, the Finnish soldiers happily received the wealth of the Russian government.

"There is a lack of experienced military masters, the command is dogmatic, and the political commissar supervises the military master." The fault committed by Si Chinese New Year's Eve Lin was destined to make countless Soviet soldiers pay for it. In the first week of the offensive, the Soviets paid for nearly 50,000 corpses for only eight square kilometers of land. This move made the officers of the Soviet army sigh: Our efforts in the past week have been exchanged for enough cemeteries to bury the fallen soldiers.

The moonlight was quietly sprinkled on the silvery white snow, and the Russian soldiers were drinking vodka around the bonfires, and the Russian soldiers who had been attacking for a day were physically and mentally exhausted, and many of their companions had passed away forever.

There was a dull sound of gunfire in the silence, and a Russian soldier who was roasting the fire by the bonfire slammed down. There was a commotion around immediately, many Soviet soldiers raised their guns and fired indiscriminately around, and in the burst of gunfire, more than a dozen Soviet soldiers fell on the cold snow, and the Soviet soldiers had superior military strength, but they did not know how many enemies were shooting at them from what target in the night, and they could only thunder in place Chinese New Year's Eve. This is what Su Tong summed up based on the experience of later generations, and specially asked Fan Bingbing and others to teach the Finns the 'firewood pile tactics' in advance.

The so-called "pyre" is the habit of Finns to gather the piles of wood first and save it for later measures when chopping wood. Taking advantage of the shortcomings of the Soviet and Russian troops that they could not do without roads, the Finnish army inexhaustibly carried out fire reconnaissance, first identifying the Soviet units that exchanged fire on Chinese New Year's Eve, and then inexhaustibly building roadblocks according to the purpose of the army's marching target, and quickly isolated the Soviet Russian army from divisions to battalions and even company-level units. Due to the unclear situation of the battle, it is difficult for the Soviet and Russian troops to save each other, so the company-level units of the Soviet army will be annihilated by several companies of the Finnish army, and even battalion-level troops; The Soviet battalion would again be harassed, penetrated, isolated, and annihilated. Moreover, the Finnish army sometimes pretended to be Soviet soldiers to direct traffic, and guided the entire Soviet supply convoy to the Finnish army's defensive positions, so that the weapons of the Soviet army often fell into the hands of the Finns on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Wearing white snow trench coats, rowing sleds, and holding 'Chuntian-style' snig rifles supported by the Chinese government, the Finnish army accurately shot the lone Soviet army from a distance of 600 meters, and the results were very remarkable.

Due to the inexhaustible supply of supplies from the Chinese government through the air channel, the arrival of the Finns was very fierce, and the casualties of the Soviet army were extremely painful. By the end of January 1940, in just one month, the Soviet army had suffered a staggering 130,000 casualties, and such huge casualties on Chinese New Year's Eve were a blow to the fanatical Soviet Russian government. The 'wise' Comrade Chinese New Year's Eve Lin also finally realized that it was a bad thing to replace the military seat with a political commissar to command the soldiers, and the fanaticism and courage of the political commissar could never resist the military talent of replacing the military seat, and the result of the laymen's overstepping the command of the charge d'affaires could only drag the soldiers into hell.

In the war room of the Kremlin adviser headquarters in Moscow, Chinese New Year's Eve Lin sat at a desk on Chinese New Year's Eve, looking at the sand table in front of the table and was silent. The atmosphere was tense and almost frozen, and the huge Chinese New Year's Eve casualties of the participating troops made the fanatical advisers realize how correct Zhukov's fears were and how the fears of the guy he once called a coward were now fulfilled.

Si Chinese New Year's Eve Lin's beard trembled at Chinese New Year's Eve, and the pencil in his hand was pinched and almost broken. The corner of his eye swept the consultants who were still satisfied a few days ago, and Chinese New Year's Eve Lin was very conflicted in his heart, and he was thinking about whether to call back Zhukov, who had been driven home by himself a few days ago, but soon Si Chinese New Year's Eve Lin made up his mind.

"Comrade Vasilevsky." On Chinese New Year's Eve, Lin spoke, "Now I will personally go to Comrade Zhukov's house and invite him here." ”

Vasilevsky and the advisers around him were stunned when they heard this, Es Chinese New Year's Eve Arrogance and paranoia, there were very few people who could come out of his mouth the word 'please', and in Soviet Russia, there were very few people who could afford to use the word 'please' from S Chinese New Year's Eve except for a few comrades such as the deceased Umyanov, S Chinese New Year's Eve Lyn had never used the word to anyone.

Vasilevsky is still very clever, and he knows that Chinese New Year's Eve is ready to reactivate Zhukov, but he also thinks that only Zhukov, a veteran of a hundred battles, can clean up the mess. As for the previous worries that Si Chinese New Year's Eve Lin would not be able to wipe his face, he was not kind enough to ask Zhukov to come out, begging, how much more money and a pound of face? For politicians, the least valuable tool is face.

At Zhukov's house, he was having lunch with his wife Kievna, and both of them were taken aback by Vasilevsky's sudden visit. Seeing the appearance of the major general who had replaced him in charge of the war plan against Finland with sunken eyes, messy hair, and haste, Zhukov knew that there must be something wrong with the Finnish front.

Full text W: "Comrade Zhukov, we have trouble fighting in Finland, Comrade Chinese New Year's Eve, please rush to the advisory department within half an hour." As soon as he entered the door, Vasilevsky went straight to the point.

Zhukov was stunned for a moment, nodded his chin lightly, but did not move, the urging eyes of his wife Kiev and Vasilevsky's anxious look, Zhukov still ate slowly and orderly, and only after about half an hour did he get up and slowly walked to the door, took his clothes and hat and went out with Vasilevsky.

The two soon arrived in the Kremlin's war room, and as soon as they entered the door, Zhukov found Chinese New Year's Eve Lin sitting at his desk looking at him with bright eyes.

"Comrade Chinese New Year's Eve, I'm sorry I'm one hour late." Zhukov saluted.

Chinese New Year's Eve Lin has a temper, he does not allow his subordinates to be late for a meeting, even if it is 1 minute. When Zhukov arrived in the war room, it was already 2:05 p.m., Zhukov fixed his eyes and saw that almost all the members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of Soviet Russia in the war room participated, and all of them looked at Zhukov with shocked eyes, at this time Chinese New Year's Eve Lin was an absolute authority in Soviet Russia!

The room was frighteningly quiet, and after a while, Si Chinese New Year's Eve Lin said, "No, I'm one hour and five minutes late." But then he smiled: "Sit down, listen to the report first." Hungry? If you're hungry, you can talk while eating. ”

As the commander of the Soviet army, Chinese New Year's Eve Lin did not reproach Zhukov for being late, he knew that Zhukov had resentment in his heart, so Chinese New Year's Eve Lin actually used this style to recognize his previous problems.

"No, Comrade Chinese New Year's Eve, I came here to accept the task." Zhukov said very simply.

"Well done, Comrade Zhukov, the motherland needs people like this." S Chinese New Year's Eve Lin approvingly: "Now our troops on the Finnish front are fighting very hard, and the casualties of the army are very Chinese New Year's Eve. Now the front line needed a competent commander to command them, and it occurred to me right away. Comrade Zhukov, I give an authorization, all the armies there are under command, whoever needs to be taken with them, and those who are most needed can be selected in the whole army. These words of Si Chinese New Year's Eve Lin mean his trust in Zhukov for the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Zhukov said without hesitation: "Comrade Chinese New Year's Eve, I need to mobilize part of the army of the Don Front, they are all soldiers and officers who have experienced a hundred battles. ”

Si Chinese New Year's Eve Lin agreed without frowning, "Yes, how much do you want to transfer?" All of them? ”

Zhukov smiled, "Comrade Chinese New Year's Eve Lin, if I need to mobilize 700,000 Chinese New Year's Eve troops to deal with those Finns, it will be too much to look up to them." Can the Finns compare with the Chinese with just a few broken guns? All I need to do is mobilize 100,000 people this time. ”

Si Chinese New Year's Eve Lin first smiled, and then frowned again. Zhukov's words clearly reveal his deep scruples about the Chinese people.

Si Chinese New Year's Eve Lin quickly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and he was silent for a while before saying, "Okay, Comrade Zhukov, when can I untie the cable?" ”

"An hour later, Comrade Lin on Chinese New Year's Eve."

An hour later, at an airport in Moscow, a transport plane quickly burst into the blue sky and flew towards the Finnish target
