Chapter 719: Is Marshal Rokossovsky here?

At this time, the Supreme Soviet Army command also dispatched Zhukov 10 more infantry divisions and 10 aviation divisions.

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

There are also three tank army units, namely the 1st and 3rd guard tanks, and the 4th tank army.

As for the two Air Force armies, they are the 2nd and 8th Air Force armies.

In addition, two mechanized cavalry clusters were added, namely Balanov's First Guard Cavalry Army and the 25th Tank Army, and Sokolov's 6th Guard Cavalry Army and the 31st Tank Army.

There are also Konev's six cavalry divisions, 5 independent tank brigades, and the 1st Army of Kaczechoslovakia, with a total of more than 1.2 million troops.

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

When Zhukov, who was strong, learned that he had obtained the Supreme Soviet Command headed by Comrade Stalin, suddenly had such a big support force and had arrived in Stalingrad. He was very happy.

Only after Marshal Manstein proposed the German winter storm on December 12, 1942, Marshal Paulus, commander of the 6th Army of the German army, Lieutenant General Pfeffer, commander of the 4th Infantry Army, Lieutenant General Walter von Seidlitz Kurtzbach, commander of the 51st Army, Major General Colefers, commander of the 295th Division, including more than 20 high-level German officers, 2,000 officers below the school level and more than 90,000 hungry and tired German soldiers, all abandoned their weapons and surrendered and captured.

Marshal Paulus's 6th Army was killed and destroyed by the Soviet army. This gave the Soviet army and Stalin a great reassurance, because the most tragic defense battle of Stalingrad in the history of human war finally ended with the victory of the Soviet army in almost 200 days.

In other words, the Soviet army saw the arrival of their opportunity to turn defeat into a victory over the German army, which also marked that the German army had gradually lost its strategic initiative on the local battlefield of the Soviet army.

However, all this wishful thinking was destroyed by Chen Yanlong, the time traveler, and the Soviet army returned to the war mode with heavy casualties.

Although the remaining Soviet troops can quickly replenish new recruits and use the training mechanism of veterans to drive new recruits to quickly improve the combat effectiveness of new recruits.

Moreover, the speed and quantity of the Soviet army's materials and troops were far superior to that of Germany.

But the Soviet army was like the German army, and no one died.

Moreover, if a person is born to gain combat effectiveness, it may take more than 10 years or more than 20 years at the earliest.

It is not like a weapon and equipment that can be quickly developed and produced after being destroyed.

Although Stalingrad has been re-occupied and liberated by the Soviet army, their pre-war preparations for the Leningrad Novgorod Battle, which they were about to launch, are in progress.

"Marson! Our aid tank group and cavalry mechanized cluster have arrived in Stalingrad one after another, and the Air Force Group can also support our operations at any time!"

"Other infantry divisions and mechanized units, as well as logistics weapons and equipment and various military supplies are also being transported normally according to our transportation plan. We will be able to fully receive more than 1.2 million reinforcements given to us by the Supreme Command!"

While Zhukov was patrolling the fortifications in Stalingrad, the Alexei combat staff beside him hurriedly reported to him.

"Have Marshal Rokosovsky arrived? I want to discuss with him more about the Leningrad-Novgorod battle we are about to launch!"

"Because Comrade Stalin sent me a telegram this morning that the British and American troops were preparing to attack Italy and France again. I hope that we can launch the Leningrad-Novgorod Battle at the same time when they launched the battle to attack the German army, so as to cooperate with their combat operations and defeat the German army in one fell swoop!"

"Set the foundation for our anti-fascist war, a decisive victory!"

After hearing this, Zhukov nodded gently and asked.

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

The combat staff officer Alecsa immediately agreed.

"Okay! I'll go see him right away! You lead the way!"

Zhukov replied happily.
