Chapter 204 Zhukov's Shock and Disturbance

Seeing the hundreds of tanks and self-propelled artillery in front of him being blown up and burned to catch fire; the smoke that seemed to last for a long time was floating on the battlefield, Zhukov sighed heavily.

Because he had never expected the battle to be so tragic. Although Voronezh and the grassland front had already reached the city and reached outside the German defense line in Belgorod, after several days of fierce bloody battles, these troops were in great need of rest and replenishment at this moment.

Although the Soviet Central Front and the Burryan Front did not suffer much damage; the Western Front underestimated the actual combat capabilities of Model's 9th Army and the 2nd Army, as well as the German Third Armored Cluster of the German Central Army Group to which Model's troops belonged, and the German Fourth Army also suddenly joined the battle.

Their main attacks were all concentrated in the Western Army Group of the Soviet Army. In order to cause this army group to suffer a severe blow, Chen Yanlong also retreated the A Army Group from the Caucasus and dispatched them to besiege the Western Army Group of the Soviet Army Group.

As for such a critical battle situation, Zhukov had to immediately send the Bullian Front and some of the Central Front troops to support the Western Front.

Because of this, the combat opportunity of the four fronts army groups to encircle Manstein's Southern Army was left alone and the plan went bankrupt.

In fact, Voronezh and the grassland front were originally used, and combined with large-scale artillery coverage and air strikes; with the assistance of the reserves, it is still very promising to severely damage Manstein's Southern Army Group.

But before the battle lasted for many days, the unexpected situation appeared again.

First Manstein's Southern Army not only did not engage in hard-to-hard-ground battles with his troops, but also carried out front-line contraction and elastic defense operations.

In addition, when the battle was not conducive to the German army, they would retreat very decisively.

At the same time, what surprised him even more was that the German aviation unit, which had been huddling, suddenly appeared on a large scale on the verge of ghosts, and also had a large number of aircraft from the vassal states joining the battle to fight against the Soviet aviation unit. Faced with such a sudden turn of battle, the Soviet aviation unit was destroyed for a while and pilots.

Zhukov and Huasilevsky were deeply shocked and shocked by the battle situation that suddenly exceeded their budget.

However, the Supreme Command of the Soviet Army was furious and gritted his teeth and issued an order to fight back to the death.

In particular, Stalin was even more angry and issued a stern order to the commander on the battlefield to fight back; all the losers were severely punished, especially the commander of the troops with serious casualties.

All commanders were ready to fight Stalin's murderous counterattack order.

Zhukov and Huasilevsky also dare not take it lightly, and they personally took the front line to command the troops to conduct attack wars.

"What do you think? How should we attack the German defense line in Belgorod? Marshal Vasilevsky!"

Zhukov turned around and asked Marshal Huaseylevsky beside him in a respectful tone.

"Have the troops, weapons, equipment, and ammunition of Voronezh and the Grassland Front been replenished? Comrade Zhukov!"

Marshal Huaseylevsky looked at Zhukov with a calm look and said with a smile.

"All military supplies needed for combat are ready!"

Zhukov nodded and responded.

"So, we can try to launch major assaults in the direction of Valuiliki and New Vodoraga, with the 5th and 6th Guards Army, the 5th Guards Tank Army, and the 1st Tank Army."

"The Grassland Front can also dispatch the 7th Guards Army at the same time, the Mechanized 1st Army and the 69th and 53rd Guards Army to join forces to launch a general attack on Belgorod; as for the main forces of the Voronezh Front, they can also launch a surprise attack on Kharkov at the same time. In such multiple attacks, the German army will not know where our main attack location is!"

"Then when the battle reaches a certain critical moment, we can temporarily withdraw the 11th Guards Army, the 11th Army, the 4th Tanks Army and the 2nd Guards Cavalry Army from the Western Front to assist our main attack point Kharkov!"

Marshal Huaseylevsky said with his advice.

"Well! Marshal, what do you mean is that our main attack is not to assist Belgorod in front of us? But Kharkov?"

Zhukov was stunned for a moment and said in confusion.

"Yes! Because this is the order of our Supreme Command! It is also the strong request of Comrade Stalin!"

Marshal Huaseylevsky smiled slightly.

"But now the Western Front was beaten by Model's German troops, and they couldn't raise their heads. They even asked us for reinforcements urgently? Now we have all dispatched the Burrian Front and some of the Central Front troops!"

"That is to say, when the war situation is approaching a critical moment, can we still draw forces from the Western Front?"

Zhukov said with a deep frown.

"We can evacuate the Western Front and the Burryan Front, so that we can have the strength to deploy!"

Marshal Huasilevsky continued.

"But if we do this, wouldn't the German troops of Model and Klug's have a chance to counterattack us?"

Zhukov retorted disagreeably.

"Don't worry about this, because Comrade Stalin has already dispatched the 28th, 44th, 51st Army, the 5th Army, the 2nd Army of the Guards, the 6th, 12th, 57th, 62nd Army of the Southwest Army, the 1st and 3rd Army of the Guards, and the Northwest Army of the Northwest Army: the 22th, 34th, 68th Army of the Assault 1st Army, and the 3rd Army of the Kalinin Front: the 39th, 43rd Army of the Assault 3rd and 4th Army of the Assault 3rd Army of the Southwest Army of the Southwest Army of the United States to deal with Model's German troops!"

Marshal Huaseylevsky said with a meaningful tone.

"What! If Comrade Stalin does this, then what should we do with other lines of defense?"

Zhukov shouted with his eyes widened in shock.

"We also have Karelian Front, Volkhov Front and Leningrad Front, as well as the North Caucasus Front, and the Independent Army, the 2nd Baltic Coast Front, the 1st Baltic Front, the 1st Baltic Front, the 1st Belarus Front and the 1st Ukrainian Front, and dozens of armies are temporarily defending!"

Marshal Huaseylevsky responded very optimistically.

"Is this OK?"

Zhukov said worriedly.

"In order to simultaneously deal with Manstein's Southern Army and Model's German army, we can understand that we do this! At least Comrade Stalin is very angry now! Because the achievements of our front-end army have not performed well in the past two days!"

Marshal Huasilevsky shrugged.

"I always feel that Comrade Stalin was too excited this time and gave a bad order!"

Zhukov said worriedly.

Marshal Vasilevsky just smiled and did not answer his words, and soon he turned his thoughtful gaze to the battlefield.
