Chapter Twelve Great Changes in History

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no sign of stopping. With the flying heavy snow, the temperature was also dropping rapidly. Chu Sinan roughly estimated that from midnight yesterday to now, the temperature had dropped by at least ten degrees.

Chu Sinan led his guard squad to conduct a simple patrol on the No. 2 position that had just been guarded by the 30th Division. In the densely distributed trenches, deep into one person, the officers and soldiers of the 30th Division were wearing various blankets, gathering around piles of bonfires to keep warm. The heating supplies temporarily collected from the citizens of Blaevsky were thought to allow them to withstand the severe cold for a period of time.

Chu Sinan walked to the forefront of the position, stood on a temporary shooting foot, and looked at the German position opposite. The snow was too big. Although the positions of the two sides were only hundreds of meters apart, there was nothing else that Chu Sinan could see except the vast white area.

In such a visibility environment, the enemy's air force has no possibility of being dispatched at all. In this way, the Northern Front Army's attack on the east and west fronts should be much easier to carry out. However, in such a visibility environment, the enemy is also prone to sneak attack-style breakthrough operations. It seems that it is necessary to remind the commanders of the 30th Division not to be careless and be beaten by the besieged German military advisors without any defense.

"Comrade Chu Sinan, let's leave here," Lukoonki saw Chu Sinan wandering on the front line and not retreating for a long time. He couldn't help but say, "This place is too close to the enemy's position."

"Well," Chu Sinan responded, and then suddenly asked, "Comrade Lukoonggi, what do you think of the German commanders in Chu in this environment? Faced with such a severe cold, they do not have the necessary logistics supplies, but they do not strive to break through. This is an unusual thing."

"According to my guess," Lukoongi thought for a while, "probably the Germans could not withstand such severe cold, so they temporarily gave up the attack. After all, the cold current this time came too fierce. Look at the current situation. If there are no necessary protective measures, the soldiers cannot even touch the guns, and they will be frostbite. According to your previous inference, the Germans surrounded by us obviously do not have enough logistics supplies, so it is very difficult for them to launch an attack at this time."

Chu Sinan nodded. He agreed with Lukoongi's judgment in this regard. However, from another perspective, Chu Sinan felt that this matter was not that simple. After all, he had always admired the Germans' fighting will. They might be facing difficulties, but if they would give up the attack for these difficulties, then let alone others, at least Chu Sinan would not believe it.

"Let's go back," Chu Sinan thought for a while and said, "I guess the news from the Front Army Command should also be heard. According to our scheduled plan, the attack on the east and west lines should have been launched."

"Yes, Comrade Chu Sinan," Lukoongji responded, then took off his military coat and put it on Chu Sinan. As a guard, he not only had to do a good job in security and protection of Chu Sinan, but also took care of Chu Sinan's daily life problems. If something happened to Chu Sinan, he would have to take on a great responsibility.

"Don't go back with us," Chu Sinan was not polite. He glanced at Lukoonki and said, "You go to the command of the 30th Division and inform Comrade Sevelickov to pay attention to strengthening his vigilance, and do not lose the position that he had finally obtained because of temporary negligence."

"Yes, I'll go right away, Comrade Chu Sinan." Lukoongi responded, then turned around and ran away.

Chu Sinan turned around and looked at the direction of the German position, then took a step and walked towards the Svery River.

"Comrade Chu Sinan, Comrade Chu Sinan..."

When I just walked to the south bank of the Sviri River, I saw the Thirteenth Episode Military Commissioner Yekhpov hurriedly running over with the wind and snow on his head.

"Comrade Chu Sinan, the front army command called." When he got closer, Yekhpov said in panic without caring about cleaning up the snowflakes on his body.

Looking at his hurried appearance, Chu Sinan reported in his heart that he felt something big had happened, but at this time, what big thing would happen? Is it not optimistic about the offensive momentum of the east and west lines? This is unlikely. You should know that the progress of the Battle of Blaevsky has basically attracted most of the attention of the Finnish army, and on such snowy days, it is obviously more suitable for Soviet combat. They have advantages in military strength, battle situation and weather. Will such an attack encounter any setbacks?

"What's wrong? I'm so panicked. Is the attack on the east and west lines not going smoothly?" Chu Sinan asked.

"It's not like this Comrade Chu Sinan," Yekhpov replied with an excited look. "The Front Command just received a telegram from the Supreme Command of Moscow. Just an hour ago, the Japanese fleet suddenly attacked the Pacific Fleet of the Americans on Oahu, Hawaii, and the Americans suffered heavy losses..."

"What did you say?!" Chu Sinan was shocked.

Could it be that the historical process has undergone such a big change? According to the previous time, the Japanese fleet's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor should have been launched on the morning of December 7, local time in the United States, and the current Soviet Union has just entered this period. In this regard, the Japanese army's plan to attack Pearl Harbor was advanced. What does this mean? Will the change in time affect the results of the Japanese army's sneak attack? Will it affect the strength of the United States' later naval strength?

Before this historical period, Chu Sinan had learned the details of the Japanese army's attack on Pearl Harbor. He remembered clearly that the instructors at that time had evaluated this battle that the Japanese army's sneak attack plan was arranged quite perfectly, but the results were very unsatisfactory.

The evaluation of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor in military history is that the Japanese side arranged the wrong direction of its main attack. Before the sneak attack, both the main planner Iroku Yamamoto and the main implementer of the attack, Tadaichi Nakamoto mistakenly regarded the US battleships as the main target, but the importance of the US aircraft carrier power was far from enough. This directly led to the Americans who later defeated the main force of Japan's naval forces in the two battles of Coral Island and Midway Island with their powerful aircraft carrier fleet. It is precisely because of this that in military history, people habitually regarded the "sneak attack on Pearl Harbor" campaign as a landmark turning point for aircraft carriers to replace battleships and become the main force of the navy.

What Chu Sinan is worried about now is that if the Americans caused huge losses to aircraft carriers due to the advancement of the sneak attack time, an immeasurable situation will appear in the Pacific battlefield in the future.

"Do you know the specific battle report?" Chu Sinan asked.

"It's not very clear," Yekhpov said, shaking his head, "The news sent back by our intelligence organization is very general. They only mentioned that the Americans lost at least six battleships. At the same time, the two aircraft carriers, "Enterprise" and "Lexington", were also sunk. During the battle, an amazing explosion occurred in the port. Our intelligence personnel speculated that the port's oil storage facilities should have been bombed..."

"My God..." Chu Sinan felt a coldness on his back, and history finally turned out to be a huge change.
