Stalin heard the general's report in the command that the transport planes were loading supplies and would be airdropped to Perm at dawn tomorrow, while Voroshilov was in Stalin's conference room and said that if the airdrop was successful, he could counterattack Germany.

"Counteroffensive German armored forces, now?" Stalin heard this, looked at him in disbelief and asked.
"Yes, we must have a counteroffensive, and only after defeating the German armored forces will our recruit units come back, and Marshal Shaposhennikov will definitely find a way.
Although most of his troops are now recruits, the soldiers of the unit have been armed, and this time we have airdropped ammunition to the troops, as long as they command properly, they can take out the German troops.
If the German troops do not come to fight us, we must go and fight the German troops, otherwise, our troops will be separated and will be broken up by the German troops one by one.
We have lost ground contact with Moscow, there is still fighting there, and if our new troops also lose contact, then we will not have many troops on our hands, and then we will not be able to take out the German troops! Voroshilov nodded and said.
"Hmmm! Can Shaposhnikov command well? Stalin asked, looking at Voroshilov.
"No problem, he will definitely think of a way!" Voroshilov nodded and said.
Stalin heard it and nodded as well.
"The Chinese side just airdropped supplies to us, and they didn't transfer armored troops to us, although from the perspective of time, it was really too late, but they didn't want to send troops to help us at all!" Stalin still held on to the matter, believing that China was not willing to help them.
"Commander-in-chief, China, it makes no sense to send troops or not, and now they are too late, but I heard that the Chinese troops in the northwest do not seem to be fully in place?" Voroshilov looked at Stalin and asked.
"Not in place yet? However, the troops in the north are in place one after another, and now it is Xinjiang side, it is said that China wants to gather 2 million troops here, all of which are elite troops from Yan'an, but if they don't come out, we can't do anything! Stalin nodded and said.
"Now we don't have to count too much on China, as long as China is willing to give us weapons, then there is no problem, this time we have purchased more than 30 million individual rocket launchers, they can deliver them immediately, in fact, it is also to help us!" Voroshilov looked at Stalin and said.
He didn't want Stalin to show such an attitude towards China outside, and if it was known to the Chinese side, it would be troublesome!
"Huh?" Stalin looked at Voroshilov in bewilderment.
"Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, this can not be said outside, no matter what, now we are not as good as China, we need to be patient, they took so much land from us, it shows that they are powerful, and we in the Soviet Union also need China's help, now, let's not talk about China's badness, if they know by then, it may be even more unfavorable to us!" Voroshilov spoke to Stalin.
"Well, you're right, I was abrupt!" Stalin heard Voroshilov's words, nodded, and also realized the problem, some words still could not be eaten.
Early the next morning, the Chinese air force units in the Soviet Union began to take off, first fighters, and then transport planes, which, escorted by fighters, began to fly towards Perm.
After arriving in Perm, he immediately airdropped supplies to the troops on the ground, and in a dense forest 50 kilometers on the outskirts of Perm, Guderian also saw planes in the sky take off.
"Damn, it's Chinese planes, or a lot of transport planes!" Guderian looked at the sky with a telescope and scolded quite angrily.
He knew that those transport planes must have airdropped supplies to the recruits in front. And his troops came here only last night, and during the day, he did not dare to march, so that Soviet reconnaissance planes in the sky could detect it.
This time, Guderian brought more than 2,000 tanks and more than 30,000 infantry, and prepared to start a raid on the camp of Soviet recruits this evening, which they had planned to do last night, but last night, they did not see a large Soviet force passing over there, that is, the German troops arrived there in advance, and the Soviet troops had not arrived at all.
Therefore, after waiting for a long time, Guderian again ordered his troops to move closer to Perm, and as a result, he saw planes in the sky.
At this time, at about 5 o'clock in the morning local time in the Soviet Union, just after dawn, the transport plane was dispatched, and Guderian immediately knew that his plan for a sneak attack was known to the Soviet side, and now the Soviet Union should be on guard.
"Commander, those transport planes have passed, which means that the Soviet troops already know that we are going to attack them, and our sneak attack may turn into a strong attack, and now we have such a small number of troops on our side, can it be done?" The commander of an armored division below looked at Guderian and asked.
"They're all recruits, and besides, if we don't attack, then they'll come for them! Either we retreat or we continue to attack! Guderian said with a cold face, he didn't expect it to be like this, just a day.
"Then now we have to rest, launch an attack at night, it may be more effective, if we attack during the day, Soviet bombers may come to bomb us, although they also come at night, but as long as we turn off the lights, the casualties can still be controlled!" Another division commander looked at Guderian and said.
"Let the soldiers rest well, do not make a sound, and the troops outside should also be vigilant and not be discovered by the Soviet reconnaissance troops!" Guderian continued.
"Yes!" The staff officer next to him heard it and immediately went to send a telegram.
At this time, in Perm, Marshal of the Soviet Union Shaposhnikov was in the headquarters, and since yesterday afternoon his troops have laid out a large number of defensive lines in the entire Perm region, within a radius of 100 kilometers, and also laid a lot of wooden stakes, and put a lot of triangular stakes.
The entire nearby forest was almost cut down by the Soviet troops, and the marching troops, according to his orders, formed a line of defense, just for fear of a sudden attack by the German armored forces.
"Report, the Air Force has just airdropped a large amount of supplies, and now our quartermaster department is distributing those weapons and ammunition to the front-line troops, according to the order of the Command, this time our Command will airdrop 50,000 bazookas, as well as 3 million armor-piercing shells, and we will distribute them to all the troops!
In addition, there are 200,000 rifles and 200 million rounds of ammunition, which will also be airdropped soon! A staff officer came over and said to Shaposhnikov.
"Very well, get our troops familiar with the weapons as soon as possible, with the fastest speed, during the day, the soldiers continue to work, and at night they can take a rest, I estimate that the German armored forces, it is these two days to attack, according to the speed of their march, it is also these two days!" Shaposhnikov said to the staff officer.
"Yes!" The staff officer went out at once.
"Your Excellency Marshal, what if the German troops do not come to attack us?" A corps commander asked, looking at Shaposhnikov.
"If you don't come, hum, it's better if you don't come, if you don't come, we'll look for them, as long as we find them, our air force will go over and bomb, do you say they come or not, aren't our reconnaissance troops going out now?" Shaposhnikov said with a smile.
"Yes, it's already out, and now it's looking for this German force, but it's been out all night, and there's still no news!" The commander nodded.
"Well, now we can only rely on ourselves, we are all recruit troops, let the commanders and political commissars at the grassroots level give full play to their abilities, mobilize our soldiers, fight bravely, as long as we take out this armored force, we will be able to merge with our high command!" Shaposhnikov looked at them and said.
"Yes!" The men heard and nodded. Shaposhnikov continued to stare at the map. Seeing a place, Shaposhnikov carefully calculated there.
"Order the reconnaissance troops in front of us to focus on reconnoitring this place, the German armored forces are likely to be hiding in these forests!" Shaposhnikov pointed to a dot on the map and spoke.
Many places here are primeval forests, so on the map, many places have no names!
"Yes!" A staff officer saw it and immediately went out.
"Your Excellency, Marshal, you better take a break, from last night until now, our recruit units have also prepared a lot of triangular piles, I think, even if the German armor is going to rush over. They won't be so quick to play to their maneuvering advantage! A corps commander looked at Shaposhnikov and said.
"Well, I'll lean on first, if there's something, you have to call me!" Shaposhnikov nodded and said, he was indeed a little tired now. The other commanders heard and nodded.
Outside, the Soviet troops were busy, and if they wanted to save their lives, they had to work, while the German troops rested in the forest, waiting for dark.
By noon, Guderian was also sleeping, but was woken up by a staff officer below.
"What's the matter?" Guderian opened his eyes, looked at his staff officer and asked.
"Just now there was a sound of exchange of fire outside us, that is, the Soviet reconnaissance unit may have come!" The staff officer looked at Guderian a little nervously.
"What?" When Guderian heard this, he stood up rather in surprise and looked at the staff officer. (To be continued.) )
