Taking back Suomussalmi COOP by Lumi

 

This scenario is a simulation and does not have any political message.



Mission Summary :
 MISSION:  20th of June, early at the morning 2:00 Am. Delta-Force is to engage town of "Old" Suomussalmi town on other side of lake Kianta's southern cap. By  moving armor over Beavers bridge, destroying any enemy armor it spotted while moving trough the town.   Enemy infantry that directly poses threat to Delta units is taken care accordingly.  Delta continues down along road 9150, in aim to move to road 912 and block it So that enemy is unable to bring any heavy reinforcements of supplies to actual City of   Suomussalmi that it is likely trying to hold. After that Delta is to move south along road 912 closer Suomussalmi City and attempt to block enemy's movement out of the city.

SITUATION:

Enemy:
Russian's massive attack along our sector has pushed us way behind of our defensive positions. They managed to gain firm control of Suomussalmi City and most importantly railroad in there. We are in understanding that enemy's strength would be at least battalion of enemy in there. Their intentions in our sector is trying to permanently prevent us from moving reinforcement's to our weakened northern frontier.

Beside Suomussalmi enemy has control of many other important areas especially in south but most importantly north. They have taken Town of "Old" Suomussalmi, After pushing our forces out of there. 12th infantry company managed to retreat over lake Kianta, but suffered heavy losses as enemy followed. In that fight we lost much of our armor and men's. 12 Infantry company however managed to prevent enemy getting across lake Kianta. Surprisingly only bridge across it is still intact. Beavers bridge. 12 Company had no change to mine that bridge in nearly chaotic retreat and ever since enemy got control of other side of lake their artillery and snipers have prevented us from even getting close to shoreline.
So far 12th company has managed to deflect all enemy attack attempts across lake Kianta or via beavers bridge that is their only way to move heavy armor to other side for now. That is why bridge still exist.

It's been silent for over an week now. But enemy movement at other side can be frequently heard. 12th company estimates there to be a full company of enemy infantry and some unknown amount of enemy armor. As conclusion. Enemy strength in area is remarkable. They have managed to bring amount's close to company of heavy armor along road 912 to area. They are constantly supplied by air with helicopters. Careful assumption would be that they have already near mechanized battalion of armor in sector. Covered by unknown number but seemingly endless amount artillery strikes where ever they seem to need it.      Also they have unquestionable control of airspace, and use their air superiority constantly used. In forms of planes and choppers.

Own:
Ever since Russian forces pushed 12th infantry company - Charlie to west side of lake Kianta, and remains of companies 9 -Alfa and 10 - Bravo south of Suomussalmi. We have been struggling against superior enemy force      in area. By luck enemy movement slowed remarkably as they reached Suomussalmi city. And we have been able to slow down their movement towards west and north west where they seem to be focused.     Our small amount of Armor in the area was almost completely destroyed during enemy forces push. And what remains has been given to units at west of Suomussalmi city, and reinforced with      mechanized armor companies Alfa and Bravo. Delta force has been made from parts of these and is to support reinforced 12th infantry company at the west side of lake Kianta and town of "old" Suomussalmi.

We have moved company of artillery south west of Suomussalmi city, It is mainly to support Alfa and Bravo companies in their mission of taking back city of Suomussalmi that they unarguable are going to need. But will in special circumstances give small amount of support to Delta force as well - Described later.

What remains of our Air-force in area is to engage enemy air units that get out of their air defense area.

Attachments and detachments: Delta force is made of attachments received from Alpha and Bravo. This contains:
  • platoon of leopard 2A4:s,
  • Platoon of cv90:s

Ok people! Listen up!
Commander Cougar will be at the helm of this mission. Be prepared to have some integrated coordination and effort between units/teams. I have a plan made, and will brief it ASAP into the mission NLT 2010 GMT. Warning I will be cranky from lack of sleep. Be prepared to operated the vehicles as we will need all of them, and we do not have many to go around. If you lose a vehicle, it is likely you will not get one, but will have to gun or drive for someone, or maybe even become the supply/support units.

Warning order is as follows.
Task force delta will move East NLT 2020GMT in order to secure both the east and west bridge areas, move and defeat any armor in the old town, turn south, clear and secure the university, and setup a blocking position over watching our FASCAM to the east. We will then push south securing the bridge, and turning west to meet with the main force. Commanders and soldiers are instructed to prepare for combat operations to include bridge crossings, amphibious operations, urban ops, clearing ops, and close range fighting. We will not be returning to our assemble area, and you should prepare for a minimum or 2-4 hours of continuous fighting. We will take losses so be prepared. Get your men and vehicles ready. Time is not 1505 GMT. Any questions have them ready for the briefing.

This should be a fun immersive mission, and with your excellent skills and performance today, we will be victorious for our homeland.

And Cougar. Sleep deprivation makes this mission even more immersive. Think about attack at the middle of Summer night in Finland when most of Foreigners have very hard time to sleep, and some native Finns as well.

Though same applies to possible enemy as well. They must be very cranky from lack of sleep. In mission you will discover why. :D

I found video of Suomussalmi. This is not so good quality but I discovered that this video is actually same road that you are going to run in mission.

Just in reverse course. From City to town.. and at the end it goes over beavers bridge. 

 

Another video this time from air.

So, after watching our Twitch stream I have few thought's to say.

Leopards were way too front, and as we all know "now" Thermal imager's on leos are not that good, to spot dug in enemy infantry.
CV90:s then again can do that, and can engage those as well for fairly long distances.

Most of the cv90:s were at the rear like if reserve for long time, and even when they came to look around it looked that they didn't truly dare to drive out of woods to be able to properly observe eastern coastlines. And I wonder is players even used CV:s high magnification zoom on TI to scan shorelines. If so you would definitely have spotted enemy way more early than you did yesterday.

All those who scored helo kills. Great work! For a while I was afraid that you would get your asses kicked since of those but you proved otherwise, great work!

PS your infantry at the shore was very vulnerable to artillery fire. Fortunately by then you had god all my artillery spotters killed otherwise lake Kianta would have received reddish western shore line.
