The Third Reich in Desperation

If if, if finally, it was the day when the British and French allied forces forcibly landed.With the nature of the Norwegians, they will never sit still and may even fight back.If that were the case, Alfred would not be able to allow this important force in his hands to be "accounted for" in a foreign country like the Danish Volunteer Group.

Norway's troops are an important part of Norway's national defense forces.Even if there are only these [-] people, it is very precious to the Norwegian Defense Forces whose strength is already stretched!

While thinking about a small abacus, a Finnish second lieutenant walked into his command post under the guidance of Alfred's adjutant.

"Commander Alfred."

"En?" Alfred, whose thoughts were interrupted, froze for a moment, then nodded calmly and said, "Second Lieutenant, what can you do?"

Since the Nordic Army has been stationed in the Vyborg area, the Finnish army, which has a small force, does not have any large troops around Vyborg.In desperation, the battered Mannerheim had completely entrusted Viborg to the Nordic Army.Therefore, the Finnish residents in Vyborg could not even see a Finnish officer.

If you have to say that the Finnish troops in this area are just a few people responsible for guerrillas.The team leaders who lead them are usually only some experienced veterans, not military officers.

But this time, although only a Finnish second lieutenant appeared.But his military rank may already be the highest among all Finnish soldiers within a few miles.

"Mr. Battalion Commander, according to the order of Marshal Mannerheim, all the guerrilla groups under my command have stopped guerrilla operations and have joined your team to jointly build the defense of Viborg." The Finnish second lieutenant said politely in Swedish. Report to Alfred.

Among the four Nordic countries, because Sweden has been in the leading position for a long time, most of the members of these countries can speak some basic Swedish.Among the volunteer troops of the Nordic Army, almost all members who can speak Swedish are selected to facilitate communication.

After listening to the Finnish second lieutenant's report, Alfred touched his chin and asked calmly, "How many people did you bring?"

Alfred didn't want to be as reckless as the Swedish commander, he had always been a meticulous and steady person.What's more, he didn't have much enthusiasm for participating in the war between the Soviet Union and Finland.What he has now is more of a spectator and passer-by mentality.

After receiving the inquiry from the superior of the friendly army, the Finnish second lieutenant did not think too much, and immediately replied respectfully, "I brought a total of 7 Finnish guerrilla teams from the surrounding area, a total of 27 people. In addition, our 7 teams along the way Gathered about 200 stragglers who were retreated by the friendly Danish army, and I brought them along."

From the Finnish second lieutenant's answer, Alfred quickly concluded that he only brought two hundred people, and they were all weak infantry without heavy weapons.

Then, with this number of people alone, even with the Norwegian troops under his command, there are only a thousand people, and they are by no means an opponent of the Soviet army.He even doubted whether such a person could survive the first round of charge after the Soviet artillery bombardment.

"We have already understood the situation. You must first arrange the people you brought into the defense line, and then come and discuss with us later." It was Alfred's adjutant Marvin who spoke.

It is no secret that Ma Wen is a member of the Quisling faction in China.And since he arrived in Finland with the Norwegian Volunteer Battalion as Alfred's adjutant, he immediately met with German diplomats in Finland.For people like Marvin, Alfred actually didn't have a good impression of them.

On weekdays, Marvin would go to the German embassy in Finland when he had nothing to do, and he kept talking about the German ambassador's suggestions.This time, he took the initiative to take the Finnish second lieutenant to Vyborg, probably behind the scenes, it was also the intention of the Germans.

Alfred put his hands behind his back and said nothing.With Marvin, the guy sent by Quisling, it was really not easy to pull the team out of Viborg and escape the battlefield.

Alfred took two steps back and forth, thinking wryly: Damn it!The Germans did not send troops themselves, but they brought themselves to this point to stare at them, and let them fight against the Soviet army.And those idiots from the Swedish division are probably doomed. Once the news of defeat comes, it will be difficult to escape...

Text 270 Chapter Eight

"Still no news?" In the battalion headquarters of the Norwegian Volunteer Battalion in Viborg, Alfred frowned, staring closely at the battlefield sand table in front of him.

Alfred's battalion headquarters is the military headquarters of the Nordic Army.The sand table was also made by the staff of the Swedish division.Everything remains the same as it was five hours ago.It's just that the command post originally established as a military department was downgraded to a small battalion headquarters.

But these are not important.What is concerning now is that since the Swedish division sent back the news of the engagement an hour ago, the command post has never been able to contact them.

Of course, this may also be because the commander of the Swedish division believes that, as a division, there is no need for them to seriously report to a battalion headquarters in the rear, so they are too lazy to send a message.If that's the reason, it's fine.

The scary thing is that the reason for not being able to contact comes from the usual practice, the large-scale defeat of the frontline troops, and the interruption of communication due to the chaotic situation.The loss of contact in this case is the most worrying.

"Alfred, don't think about it." Although he was Quisling's confidant, Marvin was also a member of the Norwegian Volunteer Battalion after all.At this time, he replied dutifully: "I have asked the company stationed at the forefront to send a reconnaissance team to advance along the marching route of the Swedish division. message back."

"Mr. Battalion Commander," the Finnish second lieutenant who came to Alfred's battalion headquarters after deploying the troops also continued in Swedish: "I just sent a guerrilla team to the area where the Swedish division is located. Once they get the news, they will Send it back as soon as possible.”

After listening to their words, Alfred did not rush to answer.He just stared at the battlefield sand table left by the Swedes, silently deducing the possible development of the situation in his heart.

To be honest, he actually didn't want to stay in Viborg any longer.Whether it was the Nordic Army or the Finnish Army, he didn't care at all.He only cares about himself, whether he can avoid losses in the vortex of war, and finally find a chance to return home.

As the supreme commander of the Nordic army in the rear, Alfred can be said to be in charge of the defense of the entire Vyborg area.Although this may look very glamorous, but he is very clear that behind the glamor is danger, huge danger!

With a reinforced battalion, defending such an important key area is like child's play!War is not a small game. It has iron rules, that is, fairness. There is no such thing as taking advantage and not losing money.

Yes, throughout the ages, there have been many battles in which less has won more.But that either relies on advanced weapons, or a commander with wisdom and fortitude.

Alfred thought he was just an ordinary officer with mediocre qualifications.He is very self-aware, expecting him to command a miraculous victory under a disadvantage alone, I am afraid that even he himself will not believe it.

And now all the less than one thousand troops equipped with only light weapons under his command seem to be impossible to be more advanced and better than the Soviet army's weapons.

Then, unless his head is broken, he won't be so stupid as the previous Swedish commander to try to win that illusory victory.

Alfred did not ask the Swedish division to defeat the Soviet army. As long as they could form a containment, the defensive pressure in Viborg would be greatly reduced.Otherwise, without the containment of the Swedish division, the main force of the Nordic army, and the remnants of the Danish regiment who had already lost their combat effectiveness, it would be impossible to block the Soviet charge on any part of the crumbling Vyborg defense line.

For Finland, the loss of Vyborg meant that the Mannerheim line of defense was cut off in the middle, meaningless.And Helsinki, the capital of Finland, will also face the threat of the Soviet army because of the loss of Vyborg as a barrier.

Alfred knows how important it is to be where he is.However, even if it is important, if you can't hold it, you can't hold it.He couldn't conjure an army out of thin air, he couldn't get planes and cannons, and he didn't even have a reserve team at all.

As for the reserve team, isn't their Norwegian battalion the reserve team of the entire Nordic army?The reserve team of the reserve team does not exist at all.

After thinking hard for a long time, Alfred failed to find a good way to resolve the predicament.Of course, it was impossible for him to come up with a solution.Given his circumstances, even if he was replaced by the famous German general Manstein, who was regarded as an idol by countless soldiers by annihilating the main force of the Polish army with a "backhand blow" some time ago, he might not be able to change Finland's fate against the sky.

In war, to the end, what is fought is manpower, material resources, national power, economy, technology, resources...  None of these things, on the part of Finland, can be compared with the huge Soviet Union.

Alfred is not a famous player, but he has common sense.From a discerning point of view, Finland's final outcome must not be able to beat the Soviet Union.On this point, it is estimated that Marshal Mannerheim of Finland will not doubt it.

Keeping Viborg is an impossible task.Not the Norwegians, not the Swedes, not even the Finns themselves!

"Those Finnish militiamen seem to be called 'civilian guards'." Alfred pouted, and made a cruel decision: "Let them bring kitchen knives, hoes, wooden sticks and everything that can be used as weapons things, into the trenches at the front. Once the trenches are lost, let them start hand-to-hand combat at close range, entangled the pace of the Soviet attack."

Fighting bayonets is indeed a common tactic used by the disadvantaged side when they are dying.It's just that the bayonet fighters are usually soldiers who have undergone relevant training, not impromptu militiamen.And what they used in their hands should not be kitchen knives, hoes, sticks, etc., which are not even weapons.

How useful this solution Alfred finally came up with is anyone's guess.Everyone doesn't know how long Alfred's cannon fodder tactics can hold back the enemy troops who have already broken into the position.But everyone knew in their hearts how cruel it would be to let the "civilian guards" who were just ordinary people before the war broke out, who had nothing but blood, fight hand-to-hand with Soviet soldiers.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a worthless life!

But this is war.War is a feast for the god of death!

In Alfred's view, since they all had to stay and bleed for Finland, it was reasonable for the Finns to shed more blood and make some sacrifices.

Regardless of the livid face of the Finnish second lieutenant, Alfred directed to the adjutant Marvin on his own: "You should arrange this matter as soon as possible, we probably don't have much time left for preparation... ...."

"Yes!" Marvin is not a saint either. If there is a chance for the Finn to help bear the sacrifice, he will naturally agree.

Originally, he didn't think of a way to keep troops for defense out of a sense of justice or defending the European capitalist world.The reason why he helped Finland fight the Vyborg Defense War was entirely because Germany wanted them to fight.

If it wasn't for his boss, Quisling's urging request, he had to follow the instructions of the Germans.Ghosts are willing to stay and fight.

Team "Boom! Boom! Boom......."

Accompanied by the shelling of the Soviet army, the last artillery of the Swedish Volunteer Division's counterattack force was also blown up on the artillery position that had already been exposed.

In the splashing artillery fire from the Soviet army, the Swedish soldiers who were aggressive an hour ago have now become more timid than sheep.Soldiers jumped out of the trenches, scrambling to escape from a fiery position.In the thick smoke, one after another the disgraced volunteer soldiers were fleeing.

"Don't block me!" A grassroots commander of the Swedish Volunteer Army brutally kicked away the tripped comrades in front of him, and rushed in the direction he had come and gone.

In the panic, many grassroots commanders were disrupted.Explosions came from behind, and they continued to destroy their already fragile nerves all the time.
