On the third day after the complete fall of Poland, the Soviet army gathered 100 divisions, about 1.5 million troops, more than 9,000 tanks and 10,000 planes on the border, and marched into the small country of Finland in a posture of Mount Tai.

The latter, on the other hand, had only three divisions and a cavalry brigade, pitiful tanks and sixty aircraft that were not all ready for combat, and two hundred and fifty coastal defense guns.

But it was this pitiful Finnish army that really taught the arrogant Soviet army a lesson.

When Zhou Yu received the news of the cripple, he just smiled and said: "The Soviets will pay the price for their arrogance, and underestimating Finland will only make their gains outweigh their losses." ”

At that time, when Zhou Yu said this, the cripple still had doubts in his heart, after all, the difference in strength between the two warring sides was too great, and Germany only took a month to blitz Poland in front, and the Soviet Union bombarded mosquitoes with artillery, the comparison is whether it can break Germany's record, but how can it pay the price as Mr. Zhou said?

Soon, as the news from the European side reached the cripple one by one, he gradually realized the fact that he should never doubt Mr. Zhou's judgment, and he never missed it from the first day of this war.

In the face of a vast Soviet army that was too strong to match, the Finns showed surprising resilience.

Faced with the enemy's simultaneous advance in five directions, the Finnish army took advantage of the rugged terrain and extremely harsh environment to launch a stubborn resistance.

Although the Soviets had a large number of tanks, it was difficult to move an inch in the wooded lanes of Finland.

Due to the snow so thick that many tanks got into snowdrifts while they were open, soldiers had to find a way to dig them out of the snow pits, but usually at such moments, Finnish soldiers emerged from the snow like ghosts, threw flasks and grenades, and then quickly pulled away from the battlefield using their unique skis.

This kind of Finnish army wearing a white cloak on a sled came and went without a trace, and it was impossible to distinguish it with the naked eye when crawling in the snow, and the sled ran so fast in the snow that usually the Soviets had not been able to aim at each other, and others had already slid out dozens or hundreds of meters away.

In this way, the bloated and huge Soviet army was really trapped in the small quagmire of Finland, unable to catch up, unable to run and run, the Finnish army took guerrilla warfare to the extreme, they galloped through the forest and snow, sniping all the enemy troops and lone tanks they could see, cutting off the opponent's supply lines, attacking their kitchens, burning their food, and completely disgusting the Soviet army.

Enraged, the Soviets began to exponentially use their air power to bomb residential areas in Finland in an attempt to demoralize the Finnish soldiers.

They had planned for the Finns to surrender within two weeks, but now reality was twitching them in the cheeks.

In this war with a huge disparity in strength, the Soviet army suffered 375,000 casualties, while Finland had only 26,000, which has to be said to be a miracle in military history.

However, the Finnish guerrilla warfare, while quite effective, did not play a decisive role in the face of an enemy that was several times or dozens of times stronger than its own.

After the Soviets continued to assemble twenty-seven divisions and an astonishing number of artillery, the continuous shelling of the Mannerheim Line ended, and the Soviets launched a general assault on the line under the command of Marshal Shenko at the end of the season.

The Finnish army held out for ten days, but was forced to retreat, because the Finns could not resist the Soviet tank sea tactics in the open field, and it was not until a month later that they were forced to apply for an armistice.

After a long period of negotiation and negotiation, the two sides finally signed a "peace treaty", which, of course, was the result of Finland paying a tenth of its territory and being forced to cede the entire Karelia region to the Soviet Union.

In addition to this, they ceded the Rybachi Peninsula, four islands in the Gulf of Finland and part of the Sara region, and leased the Hanko Peninsula to the Soviet Union for thirty years.

This Soviet-Finnish war can be said to have made the Soviet army lose face, while Finland was still glorious and admirable despite its defeat.

However, at the same time as the Soviet invasion of Finland, there was a small episode on the distant Plata River.

On this day, the cold wind was howling, the weather was turning cloudy, and Hong Agui, who commanded the Chamber of Commerce's new battleship Black Dragon, stood on the side of the ship, looking at the boundless ocean tumbling up and down.

His current identity is the commander-in-chief of the armed merchant ships of the Longxing Chamber of Commerce, although his reputation is loud, but because it is a ship built by the Chamber of Commerce itself, it cannot be compared with the national war machine in terms of scale and quantity, but even so, although they can't win by quantity, they can work quality.

You must know that Zhou Yu has a lot of cutting-edge scientific and technological talents in his hands, plus the ready-made drawings and technical solutions in his own mind, although he can't develop them himself, he can hand over these data to professionals and let professional people do professional things.

No, the flagship Black Dragon commanded by Hong Ah Ghost is based on the battleship New York, and has been upgraded and improved in all aspects.

The ship had a displacement of 32,000 tons, 35,000 tons when fully loaded, and was armed with twin 380-mm main guns in the bow and six 137-mm secondary guns.

In addition, from the hull to the stern of the ship, there are 20 40-mm anti-aircraft guns and 20-mm rapid-fire machine guns, sailing at a speed of 22 knots, the ship has a full strength of 1,500 people, and randomly carries three helicopters.

That's right, it's a helicopter, and although the Italian Leonardo da Vinci proposed and sketched the idea of a helicopter in 1438, it was clear that it was like a toy and could not be put into practice.

But the detailed design drawings drawn by Zhou Yu gave great inspiration to scientific researchers, so that helicopters were born decades earlier, and they could be carried out with warships, and the first batch of helicopters were named "Skylark Generation".

Of course, there is still a big gap between the helicopters of the Skylark generation and the helicopters of later generations, and it is impossible to fly long distances for a long time, but the effect of material delivery, terrain reconnaissance, and fixed-point strikes at close range is still very good.

The main reason is that other forces have not yet developed a similar helicopter that can go straight up and down, so the battleship of Hong Agui has quite an advantage.

"Brother Ghost, today's original training plan has been completed, should we return now?"

Behind Hong Agui, his skin was tanned, and he had a turban tied to his head, and Qiao Bei, who was wearing a sailor suit, came over and asked.

"Turn the bow of the ship and prepare for the return voyage, we can stay in South America for two hours before the return voyage, and the brothers who want to bring some local products prepare their own money, which will be regarded as a reward for this voyage training."

Hearing Hong Agui's reply, the corners of Qiao Bei's mouth opened, revealing a bright smile and said, "Thank you, Brother Ghost, I'll go tell everyone, they will be very happy~!" ”

Qiao Bei turned around and was about to tell the brothers on the battleship the news, but suddenly saw a flag waving in the direction of the lookout, saying that there were ships fighting on the sea in the distance.

"Brother ghost, there's a fight in front, should we go over and take a look?"

Hong Agui was dressed in a military uniform, stepped on long boots, walked with a loud sound, and turned to enter the combat command room.

"I want to know how many warships are fighting, what their strength is, and which forces they belong to, so that the lark can be dispatched to collect detailed information."

The latest radar equipment is installed in the combat command room, and at this moment, there are four green dots flashing on the radar panel, and three of them are slowly circling around the middle dot, which is obviously a three-to-one situation.

"Three-on-one is still so aggrieved, who is the other party?"

Qiao Bei glanced at the radar panel, turned around and picked up the microphone, and said loudly: "The lark is dispatched to reconnoiter the forces of the warring parties, pay attention to their own safety, and return immediately after the collection!" ”

"The lark received, the lark received~!"

The sound of the propeller turning sounded immediately, and a Skylark helicopter took off into the air, obliquely sideways the fuselage, and flew in the direction indicated by the radar.

The lark flew through the clouds and flew directly above the scene of the naval battle, and the sound of cannon became more pronounced as it got closer.

The pilot and co-pilot of the lark looked down with binoculars, and they flashed thick and choking black smoke, and circled twice over the battlefield before the fuselage tilted and began to return.
