The Third Reich in Desperation

While the German High Command was preparing a simulated confrontation exercise, Finland in the northeast was engaged in a real battle between ants and elephants with the Soviet Union.

"Hey," a Finnish soldier in white camouflage lowered his voice and said softly, "Simon, the Soviets' security is too tight. They are around the observation group, every five steps and every ten steps. From this point of view, We can’t even rely on it.”

The speaker was called Remo, and he and Gevini were part of Simon's sniper team.Team leader Simon is responsible for sniping, while they are responsible for covering and guarding the surrounding area.

"I heard from the intelligence that there are several major generals here, and the leader is an admiral." Since the distance is far away, Simon is not worried about being exposed, and whispered back: "If there is no defense at all, then why not?" Normal."

Simon has long noticed the strict precautions of the Soviet Union.However, for safety reasons, he did not bring his team any closer to the position of the Soviet Senior Officer Observer Group.

They came here to kill, not to be killed.

As an excellent sniper who has retreated on the battlefield many times, Simon is quite clear about the difference between courage and recklessness.

As the leader of the sniper team, he must ensure that his team remains far enough away from danger.In this way, not only can the team's escape rate be improved after the sniper kill, but also the probability of being discovered by the opponent before the sniper attack can be further reduced, thus providing concealment and success rate.

He came here with 2 companions, which in itself proved their mettle.But if the distance is further shortened, it will be a kind of stupid bravery, which will only increase the possibility of sacrifice.And such a sacrifice is completely unnecessary.

"It seems that we can't get any closer." Simon lay on a layer of white cloth and analyzed indifferently: "Although we can't go any further, it is impossible for the Soviet observation team to stay in the tortoise shell all the time." Come out. After all, they came to the front line to observe the battle situation or the terrain, and sooner or later they will leave for the front line. And our position is just on the flank of the main road, which is the only way they must go. Be patient and wait, I will It is estimated that the big fish will come out soon."

Although Simon and others added a layer of broken branches under the white cloth, and put a layer of not too thin cushion between the branch layer and the white cloth, to isolate the cold brought by the snow as much as possible.

But staying in the ice and snow for a long time, even if Simon and the others were wearing thick warm clothes, it was inevitable that the cold weather would take away a little bit of their physical strength.So Simon is now completely following his own intuition and asking the group to stay where they are and wait a little longer.

Once his intuitive judgment deviates too much, and the Soviet observation group does not show up for a long time, the sniper team will continue to lose energy on this cold snow field, until they lose the ability to perform tasks and are forced to return.

After waiting for another half an hour or so, Jevini, who hadn't spoken yet, crawled gently along the snow to the side of Simon: "Simon, let me say that we should just try our luck a little closer, maybe... ..."

"Shut up!" Mimeng lowered her voice and said harshly.

Jiewei Ni has also partnered with Simon several times, and has a certain understanding of Simon's behavioral logic.After he was interrupted to speak, not only did he not show any irritation, but he immediately closed his mouth obediently as Simon wanted, and gently lowered his body further.

He understood that Simon was not a curmudgeon.Since he told himself to shut up, it was probably because the current situation urgently required him to shut up.

Sure enough, in less than 3 minutes, Jieweni, who was lying next to Simon, saw movement in the Soviet camp.

Immediately afterwards, groups of Soviet soldiers ran out of the camp one after another.Among them, they also carried 6 three-wheeled motorcycles equipped with machine guns.Obviously, these Soviet soldiers were doing "road clearing work".

"Tutu, chug, chug..." The machine gun on the motorcycle fired aimlessly around.

Simon understood that this was not because the Soviets had too many bullets, just for fun.In fact, the reason why the Soviet machine guns fired indiscriminately was, on the one hand, to see if there were camouflaged enemies anywhere.If there is, there is a theoretical possibility of this kind of free-wheeling shooting.

On the other hand, this kind of shooting can also serve the purpose of scaring the snake away.Psychologically exert psychological pressure on possible ambush enemy troops, thereby increasing the possibility of their exposure.

The reason why the Soviets did this is very likely to carry out security work for the officers of the upcoming observation regiment.The big fish is about to appear!

Simon stretched out two fingers and swiped lightly, signaling Murray and Jieweni to get ready.

The three of them are old hunters who are used to shooting guns. Once they have any prey on their sights, they are basically sure to succeed.

Although Simon has the high-end sniper rifle sent by the Mauser factory, Murray and Jiewei only have the Mosin Nagant 91-30 captured from the Soviet army.However, this kind of gun has a longer range and greater power than the gun gun they used before.The most important thing is that after shooting, there will not be a lot of black smoke like a gun gun, and it will not instantly reveal your location visually.

The two made an "OK" gesture respectively, showing Simon that they were ready.Then, the three of them did not communicate any more, and lay motionless on the spot, waiting for the convoy of the Soviet Observer Group to enter the range.

..........

As expected, the convoy of the Soviet Observer Group left the camp after the advance troops completed security along the way.Although these advance troops in charge of security were unreliable, they just stood guard on the side of the road holding guns, but they still gave the observation team a sense of security.

After all, this area is already occupied by the Soviet army. In their view, the possibility of Finnish soldiers appearing here is not high.They were all leftovers after the big purge. From top to bottom, from the leader of the observation team to the commander of the security force, no one was vigilant about the ongoing war and proposed to launch a security search on the high ground on both sides of the road.

As long as they can think of it, with the huge number of soldiers in the camp now, although it is not easy to carry out this level of search, it is absolutely feasible.

And once they became more vigilant and launched a two-wing search, no matter how confident Simon and his party were, they could only leave in despair after the search started.

But no one thought of this.Just as no one reminded the generals of the observation group to take off their rank epaulettes, the Soviet army's understanding of the sniper profession is still too superficial and too contemptuous!

Text 2Chapter 17 Italian Cannon

"There are snipers!" A shrill cry sounded from the front row of the Soviet Observer Mission.

Those who were sniped were three reserve division commanders wearing the rank of major general, that is, all the general-level officers present.Although in theory there is another general named Georgi Konstantinovich Zhukov who is also with this observation group, but in fact, the current general Zhukov is still staying with Stalin in Moscow.

Originally, Zhukov's name was put on the observation team for the purpose of plating gold for the next step of promotion. It was not really necessary for a dignified general to lead the observation team to the war zone all day long.

Who doesn't know that Zhukov's celebrity next to Stalin is the hero who defeated the Japanese army at Nuomenkan.Chairman Stalin's most valued cronies wanted to be plated with gold to earn some qualifications, and everyone turned a blind eye to it.

As for the other three major generals, they are actually not serious teachers.According to the Soviets, these major generals were actually the commanders of the "Second Force".Using the names that Reinhardt privately gave to the German generals, these major generals are called the division commanders of the "Shadow Troops".

The "Shadow Army" was produced from the system of the Soviet Army's "Second Army".This very creative system made it possible for one division in the Soviet Union to become two divisions overnight.

After all, there is nothing magical about the "Second Army" system.That is, on weekdays, each division commander is assigned two deputy division commanders, instead of only one deputy division commander like Germany and other countries.And one of the two deputy division commanders performed his daily duties just like the deputy division commander of the German army.The other one only does this kind of work occasionally, and most of the time he is busy with other things-that is, he is responsible for the work related to the "Second Army".

And so on, in the Soviet army, the chief of staff of a division is a colonel, and he also has two deputies with the rank of lieutenant colonel under him, and one of them is also responsible for the work related to the "second army", that is, the "division chief of staff of the shadow army".The same is true for each regiment, 1 colonel and 2 lieutenant colonels.However, each battalion is assigned a battalion commander and a deputy battalion commander.

In the event of an armed conflict, a division is ordered to be ready for combat and is required to move into the combat area.Then, there is only one deputy division commander in this division who will follow the division commander to lead the troops out, that is, the deputy division commander who performs daily duties.

The same is true for each regiment, only one deputy head will go out with the troops.

Each battalion only needs the battalion commander to lead the team, leaving the deputy battalion commander, and the former deputy division commander and deputy regimental commander to form and lead a new division.

Since there are no deputy battalion commanders in the battalions that were launched, a company commander will be selected from each battalion to be promoted to deputy battalion commander immediately, and a platoon leader will be promoted to the vacancy left by the company commander.In this way, this transfer at the officer level will not affect the combat effectiveness of the division at all, and at the same time it will leave the skeleton of a new division.

After all the personnel of this division left their barracks together with their weapons and equipment.If there is a shortage of soldiers and junior officers in the division, they will find opportunities to fill it up on the way to the operational area, filling it with reserve personnel or other dispersed friendly units.

After the division leaves, the barracks left behind will not be idle.The colonel who usually served as the deputy division commander was still there. At the same time, there were 6 lieutenant colonels who usually served as deputy regimental commanders and several deputy battalion commanders.

But the commanders of this "second force" are often lacking in qualifications.In order to increase their qualifications, that is, gold plating, the Soviet military tried various methods.One of them is to organize the officers of the second army to participate in the battlefield observation group, and after the completion of the work, it will be regarded as an increase in seniority.

But now, the three major generals and division commanders who are about to take up the post of the Second Army have been collectively killed, which is equivalent to being directly beheaded on a large scale as mentioned in military analysis, which is not bad!

"General!" Several regiment commanders who had just been promoted to colonels of the new army ran forward and shouted around the corpses of the three division commanders.

"Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack..." The sniper team led by Simon fired one after another, realizing a wish for the idiots who ran forward with the rank of colonel to die.

"Withdraw!" There was no trace of procrastination. After judging that the general in the intelligence would probably not appear, and confirming that the team had completed the highly valuable tactical goal today, Simon decisively issued a withdrawal order.

3 major generals and 8 colonels, this is equivalent to destroying the top management of 3 divisions!Even if the fight continues, it is impossible to achieve better results.It's better to accept it when it's good, keep the green hills, and make better achievements in the future.

And Simon has a natural talent for premonition, which is his greatest luck as a sniper.He instinctively felt that if he killed so many senior officials in the Soviet Union in one go, the other party would definitely not let him go.If you don't run away now, maybe you will have to stay here forever later.

Anyway, the revenge of being slaughtered in the field hospital can be regarded as revenge, and the psychology is more balanced.Simon lowered his body and slid back along the slope, while Murray and Gevini on both sides turned over against the snow and rolled back to the back of the high ground.

Although on the back of Xiaopo, it is impossible for the three of them to be hit by bullets.But Simon still didn't relax his vigilance, and quickly called the two to run into the woods 3 kilometers away.There, there was their stash of sled gear.Once on the sled, it is basically safe to get out next time.

"Quick! Send people in the direction where the gun was fired just now!" A colonel with a reasonable brain hid just now, but became the only survivor among the 3 colonels among the 9 major generals.

At this moment, since he had the highest military rank, the right to command on the spot naturally fell into his hands.

"Colonel!" Although the military rank is only a major, the commander of the security force who was ordered by the colonel still bite the bullet and said: "If the opponent is a Finnish sniper, then our people will definitely not be able to hold them back. It will only increase sacrifices. I suggest that the accompanying artillerymen can fire howitzers in the direction where the guns were fired just now, so..."
