Chapter 904: Motorized Forty-Four Division

The capital of Finland, Helsinki.

"One of our reconnaissance aircraft has just detected the exact situation. A new Soviet unit has moved to the front line. It has been confirmed that it is the 44th Division of the Soviets." An officer put the photo he had just obtained on the table. Come up.

Loeb picked up the photo and looked at the Soviet boys on it, still wearing autumn clothes, and suddenly he was dumb: "It seems that the Soviets really thought the battle would be over soon, and they didn't even have winter clothes. change."

As a commander, you must know yourself and your enemy, and now, those present are no strangers to the Soviet 44th Division.

This is a meritorious force. It is a powerful force that came from the Soviet civil war. Its combat effectiveness is very strong, at least in every Soviet domestic exercise.

"Now that we have besieged the Soviet 163rd Division on the front line, we plan to concentrate our efforts on eating this army. We have disrupted their logistics supplies by launching guerrilla warfare in the rear. Now, this new force is coming, May make the situation on the front line worse." Mannerheim said.

No matter how arrogant the Soviets are, this is always a strong enemy and needs to be taken seriously. For now, the frontline force is just right to eat the 163rd Division. If you deal with the 44th Division again, I am afraid it will not be able to accomplish the set goal. .

"Yes, we have to revise the combat policy." Loeb said, as a military adviser, his power has become greater and greater now. All of this is to win this war.

For example, now, his suggestions are basically adopted.

"How to modify?" Mannerheim asked.

"We only have a small amount of troops left, and it is enough to contain the 163rd Division. Then, mobilize most of the troops, use the same tactics, harass, besiege, and finally eat the 44th Division, letting Moscow know that Finland is invincible of!"

According to Mannerheim's idea, he had already planned to abandon the 163rd Division. After all, the reinforcements of the other party would make him overwhelmed. However, Loeb's appetite was even greater and he would eat the 44th Division!

This is different from the 163rd Division. This division is an elite unit of the Soviet Union. If this division is eaten by Finland, it will make the Soviets truly realize that if they want to defeat Finland, they will have to pay a very high price. bear!

Of course, this is a bit risky.

Mannerheim was meditating. He needs to think carefully. On the side, another general Silasvuo has already happily slapped the table: "Okay, I think this is a good way to let the Soviets know that Finland is They were invincible, and systematically eliminated the 44th Division!"

Silasvuo is also an important leader of the Finnish army. His approval made Mannerheim no longer hesitate: "Okay, then we will listen to General Loeb's opinion and eat up the elite troops of the Soviets!"

The decision of the Finnish high-level leaders laid the tragic end of the 44th Division. A big net has been opened to them!

At this time, the 44th Motorized Division was still gathering on the Finnish border.

Motorized division refers to a unit that uses vehicles to maneuver and fight on foot. It is characterized by fast movement before the start of the battle, adapting to various terrain conditions, and flexibility. But there is no necessary cover when fighting, and the speed of battle development is slow.

The difference between the mechanized division and the mechanized division is that the mechanized division uses an infantry fighting vehicle, which can be directly thrown into battle, while the motorized division uses a car to reach the battlefield and then walk down to fight.

Even so, in accordance with the size of the Soviet army, this motorized division is well organized. For example, it has more than fifty tanks!

Since the first batch of T-34s produced were supplied to the Finnish battlefield, this unit in the rear Ukraine still drove their T-26 tanks as a pioneer.

Behind the T-26 tank is their main motorized equipment, the BA-6 armored car.

This is also characteristic of the Soviets.

You must know that the cost of producing tanks is very high. The Soviet army is too large. It is impossible to replace a large number of tanks in terms of cost. Therefore, many troops have to go back and use trucks. The chassis is modified. After all, the cost of producing a truck is much less than that of a tank.

In the October Revolution, there were many armored cars, but they were simply modified on ordinary cars at that time. As long as they were bulletproof, their performance was too poor. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, with the continuous development of the national economy, Armored cars also ushered in a new spring.

The BA-6 armored car is modified by the GAZ factory on the basis of the domestic three-axle car GAZ-AAA. From the perspective of the chassis, it is still the conventional structure of a six-wheel truck. However, bullet-proof tires are used here and porous rubber is filled in the middle.

The weight of the whole vehicle is only 5.12 tons, so it has good driving performance and there will be no shortage of power.

At the same time, it is equipped with a BT turret, a 45mm main gun, and two DT machine guns. Such armored trucks are just used to eliminate the ubiquitous Finnish guerrillas. The firepower is absolutely powerful.

And behind them, there are more trucks with various artillery towing behind them, and at the same time, there are various supply vehicles. After they first arrived by train, they finally completed the assembly. Now, enter the war zone!

The whole division became a long snake formation, starting from the border, walking across the battlefield, and heading towards Suomusalmi, who was besieged by the 163 division.

"Buzz, buzz." The gasoline engine was roaring. On an armored truck in the middle, Commander Vinogradov leaned on the back of the chair, his body bumping with the vehicle~www.novelhall.com~ Commander His status is not commensurate with his age. Up to now, he is only a young man in his thirties, and just two years ago, he was only a captain. In that vigorous purge, He actively devoted himself to sports, releasing his youth during the sports. The boss above his head was washed out one by one, and he also rose one by one.

Now, he is already a teacher! Thinking of all this, he was very excited every time.

In this position, he worked very hard, carefully organizing every military parade, and his troops had the best military appearance during the parade! It also won the praise of Marshal Voroshinov, and now, finally has the opportunity to show them!

He seemed to see that the honor of the Marshal was beckoning him. As long as he could win the battle beautifully this time, he would definitely continue to rise until he became the most trusted subordinate around Stalin!

The inside of the tank was too bumpy and cold. In the armored car, it was good. He wrapped his military coat tightly and continued to squint. At this moment, the car suddenly stopped suddenly.

"Boom!" An explosion sounded almost synchronously.
