From Kandalaksha to the area around 50 kilometers from Murmansk, the snow is not very thick, so the plateau combat division can pass through unimpeded. When it is more than [-] kilometers away from Murmansk, the British The Swiss Army found them.

The Anglo-Swiss coalition forces were panicked when they heard that the Chinese army was coming from the direction of Kandalaksha. The information they got was that the Chinese army was still slowly heading from Petrozavodsk. Murmansk is rushing, how could it be possible to suddenly come from the direction of Kandalaksha.

When the Anglo-Swiss coalition forces learned that the troops killed from Kandalaksha were all armored units, they couldn't help feeling relieved. The [-] kilometers around Murmansk were covered with snow more than one meter deep everywhere, and only experienced veterans Only horses can find a slightly shallower snow. The Anglo-Swiss coalition forces believe that the Chinese army will definitely be blocked by snow.

What surprised the Anglo-Swiss coalition forces was that the Plateau Combat Division already had a practical way to break through the snow.

The defenders of Murmansk once used the method of pushing snow, but due to the large amount of snow, pushing snow quickly failed, and the Anglo-Swiss coalition hoped that the method of the plateau combat division would also fail.

The Plateau Combat Division adopted a brand-new method to break the snow. Their method can be called "combination of pressure and melting". The so-called "combination of pressure and melting" uses two methods, one is snow pressing and the other is snow melting .

In order to cope with the snowy characteristics of the Murmansk area, the Plateau Combat Division borrowed a large number of road rollers from the theater engineering unit, and came over from the ice of the White Sea with the large troops. Don't think that the road roller can crush the ice. In fact, the weight of the road roller is heavier than that of a tank. It was much lighter, the heaviest roller did not exceed fifteen tons, and all the rollers seconded by the Plateau Combat Division were crawler-type rollers. Compared with wheel-type rollers, crawler-type rollers exerted much less pressure on the ground.

The snow pressing process is very simple. Ten road rollers line up and drive forward. The heavy rollers can compact the loose snow surface. After these ten road rollers, there are another ten road rollers lined up. Perform secondary compaction.

In order to prevent the enemy from attacking the road rollers that are not capable of combat, a machine gunner stood on top of the road rollers and used a light machine gun to protect the road rollers. The height of the road rollers reached four meters, which was much higher than tanks. Standing on the road rollers, A fairly large area can be controlled.

Although the snow layer after two compactions cannot carry the tank like the rocky ground, it will not let the tank sink. After the tank track is pressed through the snow layer, it will bring up the snow, so after the tank has been driving for a while , it is necessary to send a road roller to compact the snow layer again.

The snow pressing method is used in areas where the enemy's threat is not high. When approaching Murmansk, the enemy's threat suddenly increases.

Each brigade of the Plateau Combat Division has a rocket artillery regiment. This rocket artillery regiment is equipped with fifteen 36-tube tracked self-propelled rocket launchers. The rocket launchers can launch multiple types of rockets. One of them is a high-temperature incendiary bomb. What is more is a solidified combustion agent, which is mixed with aluminum-magnesium powder. After the explosion, a huge high-temperature zone will be formed, and the temperature in the center of the high-temperature zone is as high as [-] degrees Celsius.

In this high-temperature area, the snow will melt quickly, and the melted water will quickly freeze in the low temperature of minus [-] degrees in Murmansk, forming a layer of ice covering the solid frozen soil. The tank walks here Although it will crush the ice layer, it will have the effect of "breaking the ice and moving forward", and it will not fall into the snow.

These two methods are actually not particularly high-tech methods. The Murmansk defenders also wanted to use them. However, the old railways in Tsarist Russia cannot transport large road rollers and tracked self-propelled rocket launchers. Although these equipment can be disassembled into parts Transportation, but Murmansk lacks professional factories to put these weapons together.

What's more, Tsarist Russia's old railways have limited capacity and resources, and the limited resources are used by the Murmansk defenders to transport food and fuel. These two things are what Murmansk needs most. As long as these two things are sufficient, without the highest command Murmansk is almost impossible to conquer without the betrayal of the officers.

While snow pressing and snow melting were in progress, Lin Yuan also dispatched the theater air force to carry out artificial climate intervention in the Murmansk area. Whether it is snow pressing or snow melting, there is a natural enemy, that is snowfall. Once a large amount of snow falls in the Murmansk area, The pressing and melting of snow are useless.

Therefore, the theater air force took the responsibility of clearing the cumulonimbus clouds. They used anti-aircraft guns to shoot cloud bombs into the air, and used the heat of the cloud bombs to disperse the cumulonimbus clouds.

The plateau combat division first implemented the snow pressing plan. It was impossible for the Anglo-Swiss coalition forces to watch the plateau combat division advance through the snow, so they sent a small group of guerrillas to interfere with the plateau combat division.

The snow-breaking locations chosen by the Plateau Combat Division are all the openest wilderness, as far away from the woods as possible. The coniferous forest under the extreme night is the best place for the Anglo-Swiss coalition to launch a sneak attack. The coalition forces used the cover of the coniferous forest to sneak attack the Murmansk defenders on sleds again and again.

The skiing distance of the Anglo-Swiss allied forces increased, and the distance to be killed also increased accordingly. The machine gunners on the road rollers calmly shot at the Anglo-Swiss allied forces on the sled, and the Anglo-Swiss allied forces were often shot down by machine guns more than 200 meters away from the road roller.

The Plateau Combat Division also dispatched infantry fighting vehicles to force their way into the snow at the risk of being trapped in snowdrifts, and acted as a fixed fort several hundred meters away from the road roller. Arrived at the huge damage.

The plateau combat division quickly rushed to a place more than 20 kilometers away from Murmansk. The threat of the Anglo-Swiss coalition forces here has increased, so the plateau combat division terminated the snow pressing plan and began to use the snow melting plan.

45 self-propelled multiple rocket launchers lined up and fired incendiary bombs into the distance. Pieces of flames boiled up, turning large expanses of snow into ice. During the bombardment, some small villages unfortunately fell victim. The combat division didn't care, because the villagers in these villages had no feelings for the Chinese, and they were basically lackeys of the Anglo-Swiss coalition forces.

The last 142216023 kilometers of snow were cleared, and the tank troops of the Plateau Combat Division could enter Murmansk without hindrance. At this time, the Anglo-Swiss coalition forces in Murmansk finally had a premonition of a catastrophe, but they were unwilling to retreat in embarrassment. Back in Sweden, they intend to hold out in Murmansk. (Welcome to join the Canghai Reader Group - [-])
