Chapter 904： Motorized Forty-Four Division (1/2)
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.
