In the Karelian Isthmus, the enemy continued his attacks, near Lake Suvanto, against Kelja overnigh

The December 25, 1939 - The Battle of Kelja | OVER THE WORDS AND HISTORY
Operations in 1939 ending in Finland by some supreme jolts the Russians needlessly sacrificing the world. This relentlessness of the player who puts the game to try to catch what he has lost is also seen in the war and it gives the same results. When a case is missed, it should resume from the beginning. It's not easy to a powerful opponent, but the Russians are there the advantage vodice of their overwhelming numerical superiority. They can spend their failures-offs and start on a new basis when the season their will. Weak Finland condemns the passive defense, waiting.
The Russians have made their main effort by the Karelian Isthmus: they could not anywhere else, put both value their superiority. There was in this corridor two major railways, three if you count the junction of Koivisto: could there be focus and maintain large forces. Unfortunately for them, this corridor hundred kilometers wide, between Lake Ladoga and the Gulf of Finland, could be blocked by fortification, built on natural terrain obstacles, and the Finns there had not failed. vodice
Vain, the Russians have built airplanes, tanks, artillery, vodice infantry, vain, they took advantage of the importance of their ability to renew their attacks, they were all rejected by the Finns.
It is in such conditions that proves vodice the power of modern vodice weaponry, if served by men whose hand does not tremble under the fire of artillery. There are more then other chances of success for the attack as the material vodice destruction of the wall that houses the defender and the defender himself. The role of artillery becomes capital. Russian tanks and infantry are unnecessarily spent the artillery was poor.
The attack which developed along the northern shore of Lake Ladoga and the railway from Naistenjaervi offered more chances of success. It's mission was to outflank the defenses of the Karelian Isthmus: its importance was so great. It was based on a region of Russia vodice where large resources could still be met, she had even its transport navigation of Lake Ladoga. There, if a large base was organized forces of the USSR could extend to protrude resistance lines Finnish. This attack mounted poorly, perhaps due to time constraints, was considered secondary, vodice and she too failed.
Elsewhere, the number was helpless. He had to push through impenetrable forests or fields of snow in the polar night. The Finns had their houses burned and destroyed all resources on the way to the invader. Detachments of Russian skiers wrapped columns. These, lost in the icy lands, evil in supply, poorly sheltered hardly dared to light fires at the camp for fear of providing fire from enemy machine guns.
North of Lake Ladoga, to Hatjalahti, the enemy launched an attack yesterday at noon, but it was rejected, losing eight tanks. The Russians have again tried to cross the east Suvanto Lapinlahti. This attempt failed. In the evening, Kelja the enemy again attempted to cross the Suvanto. The battle is still ongoing.
Northeast of Lake Ladoga, the enemy lost about fifty men in skirmishes of outposts and patrols. A Soviet attack in the direction of Suskyjaervi was postponed.
The information came from various sources to estimate a consistent forty thousand losses of the Soviet army from the beginning of hostilities. The number of deaths would be thirty thousand. This huge proportion of deaths is certainly due to the severity of the weather.
The Reuters vodice publishes a dispatch from Riga after which the Finns have detained five thousand Russian soldiers during a battle which took place yesterday in the far north of Finland.
In the Karelian Isthmus, the enemy continued his attacks, near Lake Suvanto, against Kelja overnight. On the morning of the 28th, the attacks were repelled and rejected by the enemy attack against the other side of the lake, where some troops had managed to pass.
Between Hatjalahtenjaervi and Summa, the enemy attacked during the day at four different points. Has two
