The Red War God of Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 360 A Short Assault

What's more, these mysterious troops are more annoying than thieves and robbers. They always attack secretly and cause damage, causing heavy losses to the equipment, ammunition and luggage of the Soviet Russian Red Army.Brother Timoshen didn't want to stop the war, because it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.How to fight without ammunition, how to drive a tank without gasoline?

The results of the Chinese Volunteer Army made Finland almost ecstatic, and even senior officers at the division commander level advocated a counterattack against the Soviet Red Army.Chen Dajun immediately put an end to this sentiment. He said to Finnish President Mannerheim, "Our Chinese Volunteers help Finland and can only fight on Finnish territory; in addition, after nearly a month of continuous fighting, our soldiers are already very strong. Tired and need to rest soon."

"Hehe, thank you, General Chen. It is obviously unrealistic for some generals to advocate a counterattack against Soviet Russia. I have stopped this idea. However, General Chen, what advice do you have for Finland's next battle?"

At this time, Mannerheim was completely convinced. The combat power of 1000 Chinese volunteers is more than 2 marine divisions. Even if all 6 divisions of Finland are sent out, it is impossible to achieve such an effect.

"Just let it go. At present, the Soviet Russian army is not suitable for our fighting rhythm and style. In addition, the weather is also helping Finland. The Soviet Russians will face such a predicament. Once they also train special forces, plus As the weather gradually turns late, the Soviet and Russian troops will slowly regain their advantage on the battlefield." Chen Dajun said.

Before departure, Wu Aihua talked with Chen Dajun for a whole afternoon, analyzing the national conditions of Soviet Russia and Finland, Soviet Russia's demands for this war, and the fighting spirit of the Finns; What happens is also predicted.Historically, although the Soviets achieved their strategic goals, they ultimately won miserably.The loss announced by the Soviets was about 16 casualties, but the actual casualties of Soviet Russia should be about 50, but it is impossible to stop Soviet Russia from stopping.Because the territorial claims put forward by Soviet Russia are indeed crucial to the security of Soviet Russia.

Because the population base of Soviet Russia was more than 30 times that of Finland, even if the sacrifice of Soviet Russia was twice as large as it is now, it would not be a traumatic injury.Therefore, it is simply impossible for Finland to obtain anything on the battlefield.The only chance is diplomatic negotiations.

Of course, in accordance with Wu Aihua's instructions, Chen Dajun actually put forward some useful propositions: take advantage of the Soviet-Russian armistice, and quickly build a new line of defense on the edge of Soviet-Russian territorial claims. This line of defense must be completely fortified and fortified. ; At the same time, increase the training of the Finnish reconnaissance force, and strive to form a 300-member Finnish special forces.

The masters of the Kremlin are really in a dilemma in the face of this winter war that has completely become a meat grinder.He originally wanted to dismiss Timoshenko and send someone else to take command, but after much deliberation, he couldn't find a more suitable commander than Timoshenko.Because of this, he had to mobilize 20 army divisions and 5 tank brigades again to enrich the attack force of the Karelian Isthmus.

However, when this 40-strong force reached the front, the Finns had once again consolidated the Mannerheim Line of Defense, and at the same time built a stronger line of defense behind the Mannerheim Line of Defense; waiting for the Soviets, Not necessarily the victory they wanted.

On March 3, the Soviet army resumed its offensive, but it did not approach the Finnish rear defense zone as quickly as in history. Instead, it was hit by anti-tank mines, incendiary bombs, and anti-aircraft guns in the forward position.

“这是与苏俄的最后一战！”曼纳海姆将从中国获得的轻重武器全部调到前线，在打退了苏俄第一波进攻之后，曼纳海姆以从中国进口的200辆t-24a坦克为前锋，2个步兵师30000余人手持3000支39式冲锋枪、500挺mg42班用机枪，跟着坦克从战场左翼向苏俄红军发起了猛烈的反击！

The Finnish left wing was the Soviet right wing.Historically, it was the 7th Army on the right wing of the Soviet Army that surrounded Vyborg from the northeast, thus making the Finnish army lose its resistance value.

The newly formed 7th Army of the Soviet Army still has 2 more divisions than in history, but they never thought that the Finns still had the strength to attack, and they dared to attack!Therefore, the 7th Army was caught off guard.The Soviet army quickly mobilized two tank brigades in an attempt to block the Finns' attack. Half an hour later, another tank brigade was mobilized to join in the blocking. However, the performance of the Finnish t-2a tanks just fully restrained the Soviet t-1a tanks. 24 tanks, the tank battle between the two sides lasted about three hours, and about one-third of the remaining Soviet tanks were lost and retreated to the rear, while the basically intact Finnish tank force charged the Soviet army with half of the tanks, and the other half The tanks refueled on the spot, and then took over the charge, always entangled the Soviet Russian tanks, or covered the Finnish infantry to attack the Soviet army.

At the same time, the air forces of the two sides also had a battle over the battlefield. The Finnish Air Force won because of its advanced aircraft quality and advanced tactics, while the Soviet and Russian Air Force won by quantity. This balance of power in the air has resulted in the loss of more than 320 combat aircraft, and the support for ground combat is also very limited.

After the Finnish tank unit and two infantry divisions wiped out the three tank brigades of Soviet Russia, they quickly turned back and rushed towards the infantry division of Soviet Russia. The powerful firepower and flexible mobility of the t-2a tank gave Soviet Russia The infantry took a deep lesson, this is the real tank battle!

This battle started at 10:4 a.m. local time until [-]:[-] p.m. when the Finnish tank troops and infantry divisions returned to the starting point. It was regarded as a classic battle of "short assault" by later military history and became a compulsory course for military schools in various countries. course.

The Soviet Red Army, on the other hand, lost nearly 3 tanks in 300 tank brigades, more than 320 aircraft, and nearly 5 people in 10 infantry divisions were wiped out.

This "short assault" is a typical tactic of the Chinese National Defense Forces, and it is also one of the most commonly used tactics in defensive operations in later generations.In war, the weaker side does not mean only defense, only defense.Since the purpose of the Soviet Red Army is to occupy land, why can't the Finns aim to annihilate the enemy?Therefore, when the thinking of the Finns changed from "defending the ground" to "killing the enemy", the whole war came alive, at least in partial battles or battles.

This short assault classic battle is naturally Chen Dajun's masterpiece.Chen Dajun's previous remarks were all about national power and strategy, and Mannerheim wanted to hear the Chinese people's opinions on tactics.In fact, this is also the case. The brilliant record shown by the Chinese Volunteers, in addition to personal military quality, the rest is an endless stream of tactics.

"You can have a short assault, also called a limited counterattack!" Chen Dajun said.

"Counterattack?" Mannerheim was taken aback. Didn't the Chinese say they couldn't counterattack?

"Yes. But it's not a full-scale counterattack, not a campaign counterattack, let alone a strategic counterattack, but a counterattack on the battlefield. A short assault on the battlefield for the Soviets may be able to achieve good results." Chen Dajun said.

"..." Mannerheim was digesting Chen Dajun's words well. Defense and counterattack, offense and defense are such natural things in Eastern military thinking, but for these so-called military strategists in the West, it is necessary to understand Still quite difficult.

"Your Excellency, it might be better for us to discuss this topic in a different way." Seeing that Mannerheim didn't want to come, Chen Dajun said again.

"Oh, tell me." Mannerheim looked at Chen Dajun with great interest and said.

"The Soviet Russians started this war, and their goal was to seize the land; and if the Finns also "defended the land" in the war, wouldn't the rhythm of the war be controlled by the Soviets? Therefore, they want to "occupy the land", Finland Of course, people can’t give in easily, but the Finns can’t defend the land because they defend the land. The Finns should take the annihilation of the vital forces of the Soviet Russian Red Army as the goal of the campaign, or even the goal of the war. In this way, the Finns will have more in the next war. initiative."

"In fact, Your Excellency the President also knows that it is very difficult for Finland to defend the territory that Soviet Russia wants. However, if Finland changes its war thinking and aims at annihilating the enemy, when the Soviet Russians die too much and supplies are consumed If they get too much, they may be able to sit down and negotiate, and Finland may not lose those lands, or may retain some key lands. In short, the Soviets may not give them all they want. In this sense, Finland as a small country Confronting the Soviet Union with the power of power, although the defeat is an honor, the name is defeated and the victory is in fact!"

In fact, as a special forces officer, Chen Dajun doesn't have such a strong strategic thinking. The communication personnel of the Customs Bureau who went to Finland with Chen Dajun are always in contact with the country.

From the beginning of the Soviet-Finnish War, the General Staff of the Chinese National Defense Forces put on a huge sand table.The chief officers above the chief of staff of the National Defense Army Group Army are basically all concentrated in Nanjing. The chiefs of staff or chief officers of the various marine divisions also arrive in Nanjing in stages to participate in the Soviet-Finnish war. These staff officers and chief officers, Either divide into two factions and perform war games or war games on the sand table, or listen to the lectures of the Chief of Staff or the Deputy Chief of Staff, which will really improve their level of warfare.

During this time, Wu Aihua inspected various provinces. Although he did not carry a sand table with him, he carried a huge map of the battlefield situation with him. Every night, he would study the Soviet-Finnish war with his accompanying staff.

When Chief of Staff Jiang Baili formulated the tactic of "short assault", Wu Aihua's mentality was completely relaxed.He is not nervous about Finland's victory or invincibility, which has little to do with him. What he is nervous about is how much Finland can kill the Soviet Red Army through this war, and how much Soviet Russia's national strength can be lost.Although the Soviet Russians may have become better at fighting through this war, but the way is one foot high and the devil is one foot high. While you are making progress, others are also making progress.
