ACT433: Woodlands

On Saturn, there is no zĂ i on a day without snow!

In the middle of summer and in the cold of winter, it is difficult to exceed 15 degrees Celsius during the day, and it is difficult to stay above freezing at night. Due to the cold climate, almost all of the natural precipitation in the area comes to the ground in the form of snowflakes, so many forests have snow that does not melt all year round.

On April 5, the third day of the Soviet invasion of Finland, there was no major fighting between the two sides, except for a few brief exchanges of intense fire in the border area on the first day. The retreat of the Finnish border guards on all fronts made the Soviet army, which had an absolute advantage in numbers and equipment, begin to blindly rejoice in the war situation.

In order to prove their talents to Stalin, the commanders of the corps ordered their troops to advance without authorization in the name of "expanding the results of the war." The result was a vicious circle, which led the entire front forward. Instead of stopping this dangerous presumptuous, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet army, Voroshilov, sent a telegram to the front and praised the courage of his subordinates.

As a result, the 100,000 Red Army in the vanguard advanced more than 20 kilometers in a big way, unaware that they had entered a very dangerous place!

On the border between the two countries, on the high-latitude side of Finland, there is a deliberately preserved primeval forest. The main vegetation in the forest is a giant giant sequoia endemic to Saturn, which is extremely widespread on Saturn, with an average height of more than 300 meters and a trunk of more than 30 meters in diameter at the root.

Thanks to these huge trees, the light in the forest is very dim, and even with a compass, it is impossible to distinguish between east and west, north and south. From time to time, the snow on the treetops is blown down by the wind, making it seem as if there is always light snow in the forest, and the visibility is very poor.

Many Soviet soldiers would get separated from the army and become missing if they were not careful. And soon the Soviets encountered an even more deadly enemy in the forest - Finnish snipers!

In order to fight the invaders more effectively and preserve their strength, the Finnish army did not fight a positional war with the Soviet army, but took the initiative to retreat. Then use the forest to fight the enemy guerrilla. Many of their guerrilla fighters were local hunters and knew the forest better than the Soviets.

These soldiers are not only skilled in marksmanship, but also good at setting traps and knowing how to discern the direction according to the growth of tree branches. They wandered on the branches of the giant sequoia in all directions, waiting for an opportunity to sneak up on the Soviet troops below, and the other party was overwhelmed!

True! In terms of heavy weapons, the Soviet army had an overwhelming advantage, they had more than 1,000 armored machines, 1,400 artillery pieces and 800 fighters, and even the navy sent warships to support them.

It's a pity that these powerful heavy weapons are difficult to use in this primeval forest! Only armoured soldiers can enter the forest to fight, but they often become live targets for the enemy.

The Finnish partisans had a very light anti-armor weapon in their hands. Powerful enough to destroy the weakly armored T-26 and BT-7. Finnish guerrilla forces often organize several strike groups to work together to strike at the same target. The forest provided them with good cover, and many Soviet mechs were destroyed by the enemy who appeared within 30 meters, and they didn't even have a chance to dodge.

Under such sporadic blows, although the losses of the Soviet army were not large each time, they were also quite considerable. On the third day of the offensive, the Soviets lost thousands of soldiers and dozens of mechs during the day, but only killed single digits of the enemy, and the march in the woods became more and more difficult.

It's time like this. The soldiers on the front lines have already reacted. The primeval forest is more than 80 kilometres wide, and they are only a quarter of the way through, and the limited number of forest roads have been destroyed by the Finns, and bad weather has affected air transport. The army could only cross the forest with a hard head.

"It's snowing......"

On the snowflakes in the woods, Christgaard leaned back against the trunk of the tree, looking at the few specks of light between the branches above her and muttering to herself. The 2nd Panzer Division, to which she currently belongs, also participated in the invasion of Finland, and Rezenov, a regiment equipped with T-32 medium mechs, was at the vanguard of the division.

Whenever in the interval of battle. Chrisgaard who is resting will always be in a daze unconsciously, wondering how her sister Inia is doing now? But soon someone's hateful face flashed in his mind, and his mood became very bad.

"That damn guy!"

Shake your hand and slam the tree hard. Christiga gritted her teeth, as if the punch was a reward for the bastard who kidnapped her sister. Not far away, several young pilots who were gathering together to bake the fire were secretly looking at Chrisgaard here and whispering.

"Hey, our beautiful captain is here again."

"Miss Bachenova is so beautiful even when she is angry! You say, if I go and kill the guy who makes the Captain hate so much, the Captain she...... Will she promise me personally? ”

"Dream on! The captain is mine! ”xN

Because of her beautiful face and provocative figure, Christiga is extremely popular in the Second Armored Division! In addition, she is also the ace pilot with the best driving skills in the division, so she is known as the "goddess of war" by the majority of male soldiers in the division, and there are too many suitors to count.

But everyone knows that if you want to soak Chrisgaard, you must first pass Victor's father's level!

Just when these young people were thinking about their newlywed life after marrying the goddess, Christagaard, who was in a daze, suddenly noticed that the light spots between the treetops flickered, which immediately alerted her to someone in the tree. But before Christgaard could alert her comrades, a German-made wooden-handled grenade flew down from the treetops and hit the fire accurately.

Hearing only the sound of "boom", several people who were warming up by the fire instantly became blurred with flesh and blood!

"Beware of enemies in the trees!"

The sudden attack turned the forest into a slaughterhouse, and grenades rained down, accompanied by a large number of accurate cold guns. Many young pilots were killed in front of their cockpits when they tried to run back to their mechs. And those experienced veterans know that approaching the mech at this time is tantamount to revealing the identity of the pilot to the enemy.

So Kristgaard didn't rush back to his mech, but picked up the PPD-34 submachine gun he carried with him and fired a burst of fire overhead. Maybe it was her luck that the shuttle really blinded her, and an enemy in a white cloak fell from it.

However, the other party did not fall to his death, the snowdrift not far away saved his life, and Christigard immediately rushed up to prepare to replenish the gun, but the finger pulled the trigger, but the gun did not sound.

For the sake of portability, the submachine guns equipped by the Soviet army with armored pilots were all 25-round magazines instead of the classic 71-round drums, and the fire continuity was very poor. The strafing shot that Christgaard had just fired had wiped out all the bullets in the magazine in a few clicks.

At this time, the enemy lying in the snowdrift also reacted, and hurriedly pointed the muzzle of Mosin Nagant in his hand at Kristgaard. But the two sides looked at each other, and Krisgaard and the Finnish soldier were stunned.

At this time, the two were less than two meters apart, and the dim light in the forest was enough for them to see each other's faces clearly. Krisgaard found that the Finnish soldier was still a teenager, who looked to be 15 or 6 years old, and there was still a hint of greenness in his smart eyes.

And the other party saw that Krisgaard was a beautiful big sister, and he was obviously a little unable to do it, but it was this moment of hesitation that gave Rezenov, who had just returned from a meeting at the division headquarters, a chance to rush to the scene. Seeing that Kristgaard was in danger, the father took out his gun without saying a word, and shot the young Finnish soldier three times in the chest, killing him in the snowdrift on the spot.

"Kerry! What are you doing stupidly!? ”

was roared by Rezenov, Krisgaard came back to his senses, and at this time, the gunfire around him gradually stopped, and the enemy's attack was also like the previous few times to hit and run, not to do any entanglement with you at all, and many Soviet soldiers who were angry were scolding.

Kristgaard's affection was not so excited, she just sighed, walked over to the corpse of the Finnish young soldier, and gently closed her eyes for the other party. (To be continued......)

PS: I've been getting a headache again lately, I don't have any inspiration during the day, and I can't stay up late at night, it's terrible!
