Chapter 719: Is Marshal Rokossovsky here?

At this time, the Supreme Command of the Soviet Army also sent Zhukov 10 more infantry divisions and 10 aviation divisions.

At the same time, their remaining Ukrainian 1st Front Army also gathered the 60th, 38th, 13th and 1st Guards armies, 5th Guards and 3rd Guards and 18th Guards 7 armies.

In addition, there were 3 tank armies, the 1st and 3rd Guards Tank Armies, and the 4th Tank Army.

As for the 2 air armies, they are the 2nd and 8th air armies.

In addition to this, 2 cavalry mechanized groups were added, namely Baranov's 1st Guards Cavalry Army and 25th Tank Army, as well as Sokolov's 6th Guards Cavalry Army and 31st Tank Army.

There are also Konev's 6 cavalry divisions, 5 separate tank brigades, and the 1st Army of Czechoslovakia, a total of more than 1.2 million troops.

This huge support force also has 20,000 artillery pieces and mortars, more than 3,000 warplanes, 2,000 tanks and self-propelled guns, and many other miscellaneous weapons and equipment.

Zhukov, who was strong in build, was very happy when he learned that he had obtained the supreme command of the Soviet army headed by Comrade Stalin, and that he had suddenly received such a large amount of support troops and had personally arrived at Stalingrad.

Only after the winter storm proposed by Marshal Manstein on December 12, 1942 that the Germans unleashed, more than 20 high-ranking German officers, including Field Marshal Paulus, commander of the German 6th Army, Lieutenant General Pfeffer, commander of the 4th Infantry Army, Lieutenant General Walter von Seidlitz Kurzbach, commander of the 51st Army, Major General Colfess, commander of the 295th Division, 2,000 officers below the rank of colonel, and more than 90,000 hungry and tired German soldiers all surrendered and surrendered and were captured.

And Marshal Paulus's 6th Army was also wiped out by the Soviet army, which made the Soviet army and Stalin a big reassurance, because the most tragic battle of Stalingrad in the history of human warfare finally ended with the victory of the Soviet army in almost 200 days.

In other words, the Soviet army saw the coming of their opportunity to defeat the German army, and it also marked that the German army had gradually lost the strategic initiative on the Soviet army's home battlefield.

It's just that all this wishful thinking was destroyed by Chen Yanlong, who traveled through it, and it also allowed the Soviet army to return to the war mode with heavy casualties.

Although the remnants of the Soviet army were able to quickly replenish new recruits, and the training mechanism of veterans leading recruits to quickly improve the combat effectiveness of the recruits.

Moreover, the speed and quantity of the replenishment of the Soviet army's materiel and troops were far superior to those of Germany.

But the Soviet army was the same as the German army, there was not a single one who died.

And if you want a person to have combat effectiveness from birth, I'm afraid it will take more than 10 years, or more than 20 years, at the earliest.

It is not destroyed like a piece of weaponry, and after it is destroyed, it can be developed and produced quickly.

Although Stalingrad had been reoccupied and liberated by the Soviet army, preparations for the upcoming Battle of Leningrad-Novgorod were underway.

"Marshal! Our backup tank groups and cavalry mechanized groups have arrived in Stalingrad one after another, and the air force group is ready to support our operations at any time! ”

"Other infantry divisions and mechanized units, as well as logistical weapons and equipment and all kinds of military supplies are also being transported normally according to our transportation plan, and we will be able to fully receive more than 1.2 million reinforcements from the Supreme Command in a few days!"

While Zhukov was inspecting the fortifications of Stalingrad, the Alexei operations staff officer beside him hurriedly reported to him.

"Is Marshal Rokossovsky here? I'm going to talk to him a little bit more about the Leningrad-Novgorod campaign that we're about to launch! ”

"Because Comrade Stalin sent me a telegram this morning saying that the British and American troops are preparing for another campaign to attack the Italian mainland and the French mainland, and I hope that we can launch the Leningrad-Novgorod campaign at the same time as they launch a campaign against the German army, so as to cooperate with their combat operations and defeat the German army in one fell swoop!"

"Lay the foundation for a decisive victory in our war against fascism!"

After hearing this, Zhukov nodded lightly and asked.

"Marshal Rokossovsky has arrived, he is waiting for your reception at your command, Marshal Zhukov!"

Alexey, the combat staff officer, immediately agreed.

"Good! I'll see him right away! You lead the way! ”

Zhukov happily replied.

Then they happily got into the car and set up Zhukov in Stalingrad
