In fact, the war with the Soviet Union has begun.

The battlefield is in Finland.

There is almost half a meter of snow under your feet, and tall trees covering the sky above your head. Here is the mountainous area of Finland.

A small team of dozens of people. They put on the uniforms of the Finnish army and took off their logo of the combination of edelweiss, anchors and propellers. However, the light in their eyes represents that they are the most elite army.

They belonged to the third mountain division of Germany and originally belonged to the Austrian army.

Austria is mountainous. After Germany liberated Austria, the Austrian army with special mountain forces was also incorporated into the establishment of the German national defense force.

In this way, the German army first established the 1st to 3rd mountain divisions, and later expanded to a maximum of 10 divisions in wartime.

Compared with other forces, the German mountain division is famous for its bravery and tenacity and ferocity. The most direct political situation is that few soldiers of the German mountain division in World War II were captured by the allies. They were all killed in battle, and their fighting will is no worse than that of the SS.

At the same time, at the end of the war, the mountain force was the last unit in the German army to lay down its arms.

For example, in the Norwegian port town of Narvik, the German mountain division fought an unusually fierce battle with the allies. More than 6000 temporarily assembled mountain divisions tenaciously resisted the attack of 20000 allied troops for six weeks.

The army at that time was the third mountain division.

At this time, the soldiers of the 139 mountain infantry regiment of the third mountain division were walking in the snow. Naturally, they came here to participate in the next battle.

After the Soviets broke through Finland's defense line, they began to attack Finland in depth. There are mountains and woods everywhere. Now, snowflakes are still floating in the sky.

The biggest difference between the mountain division and the ordinary infantry division is that it carries heavy loads. Mountain roads are difficult to walk. Many times, it even has to climb rocks. Therefore, the equipment of the mountain division must be light.

For example, now, their main equipment is the latest mp40 submachine gun.

This submachine gun, of course, is not the historical submachine gun with 9mm pistol bullet, but the latest assault rifle improved from mp38. It is just to confuse others and still becomes a submachine gun.

A large number of stamping parts are used to make this submachine gun easier to mass produce. At the same time, special cold resistant gun oil is used. Their arrival also has the mission to test their weapon performance. How reliable is this kind of gun in the severe cold?

In addition to the mp40 of Yishui, they also carry a 75mm recoilless gun, which is simply a single soldier cannon. It is the favorite of mountain troops. It is easy to carry by one person and powerful against the sky.

"JOJO, JOJO." Suddenly, a bird called in front of me.

Royce, the monitor, immediately raised his arm. The white cloak raised with his arm. He pouted and made the same sound of bird chirping opposite, three long and three short.

I didn't see clearly at all. In front of them, in the snowdrift more than ten meters away, there were two Finns. They only carried ordinary rifles in their hands, but on their back, they also carried a Sumi 1931 submachine gun and played drums with large capacity. They were in good condition.

"Hey, my friends, you're here at last." One of the Finns can speak German. Although he is not very fluent, he can still communicate: "we are here waiting for you for two days. My name is Alto. "

"Nice to meet you." Royce said, "the snow here makes it difficult for us to walk. Just on the way here, two people were frostbitten."

Alto looked at the German mountain division and shook his head: "your equipment is not good. In the snow, sledge is the best equipment. You must learn to sledge."

In German mountain division, skiing is not a necessary training subject, so most of Royce's men can't ski.

"Let's cut down the branches and make some snowboards. Those who can ski can participate in our action tonight." "They have tanks and can't move. We need to destroy them," Alto said

Here, near the Latai highway.

After the Finnish defense line was conquered by the Soviet Union, it seemed that the Soviets could rush to the Finnish capital, but the Soviets later found that they were too optimistic.

Winter in Finland has come!

Most of the Soviet troops were Cossacks and Kalmyks from Kuban grassland. They were very strange to snow covered Finland and even called it "white desert" in fear.

The Soviets wanted to copy the tactics of German Blitzkrieg, but the terrain of Finland made the advance of Soviet armored forces quite slow.

The Soviet troops could only advance along the highway and could not take care of the two wings, leaving a large number of fighters for the Finnish army.

The Finnish army not only kept blocking, but also deliberately strengthened the walls and cleared the fields along the way, so that the Soviet army could not find a stronghold to rest on the spot, and could not leave the road to choose a detour, so they had to fight hard.

Now, one month after the Soviet Union broke the defense line, the forward of the Soviet army, general trekov's 9th group army, is still blocked on the wasteland only 25 miles from the Soviet border. It is very difficult for them to move forward every step.

They don't know that the bad situation will continue and get worse, because the Finns have been secretly reinforced!

"Well, we can't wait." Royce said, "five of my staff can ski. Let's start tonight!"

Before joining the army, alto had always been a hunter in the mountains and forests. Here, he was like a duck to water.

However, they have no heavy weapons in their hands and can't destroy the Soviet tanks. Now, when the German reinforcements arrive, they can finally let go!

Night soon fell, and a small team of several people left the camp. They walked on sledges like a gust of wind, and their capes fluttered behind.

Three kilometers away is the Latai highway.

"If we hadn't forgotten to drain the water, our tanks would have no problem." A tank hand, shivering, said that he didn't dare to get close to the tank at all. If he accidentally contacted the steel on the tank, it would freeze up in an instant, tear it off hard, and his skin would be gone.

They gathered and lit a bonfire in an attempt to resist the cold.

They didn't know that the danger was slowly approaching.
