"What is the current trend of the Southern Army under Manstein's command and the Central Army merged with the troops of the German Army?"

"And the German Flying Leopard Special Forces that successfully attacked our troops. Where is the exact location now?"

When Zhukov was in a state of trouble, Rokosovsky, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted Zhukov's murmur.

"In the end, our reserve team is the reorganized 37th Army, which will soon be under the jurisdiction of the 175th, 206th, 147th, 296th, 284th, 302nd Divisions), as well as the 88th Tank Army of the Reserve Tank Army, have all been dispatched to the battlefield to participate in the battle?"

"And our latest main reinforcements, has the transportation train we are taking arrived at our designated assembly location? Marshal Zhukov!"

Before Zhukov could react, Rokosovsky continued.

"The 37th Army has been put into the battlefield. As for the German Flying Leopard Special Forces, I have dispatched 18 commandos to encircle and suppress. Our latest main reinforcements should be about half an hour before we can take the train to our designated location to gather!"

Zhukov, who came to his senses, thought for a while and responded truthfully.

"So what is the situation of the Volkhov Front? Are they still fighting with the Germans from Lake Ilmen to Lake Radoga?"

After hearing this, Rokosovsky asked seriously.

"Well! The Volkhov Front, whether it is the 2nd, 8th, 4th, 54th, 52nd and 19th Army, and the 14th Army, are still assisting the Leningrad Front in fighting fiercely against the German combat group on the fronts from Lake Ilmen to Lake Ladoga!"

"It's just that because the snowstorm is too heavy and the weather is too cold, the number of battles is now reduced!"

Zhukov continued to answer.

"Have the troops of the 67th Army commanded by General Dukhanov been replenished? How are the remaining two and a half divisions going on?"

Rokosovsky continued to ask.

"I got half a point of military strength, and I also joined forces with the 59th Army, which had the strongest combat power under Commander Meletskov, to fight back against the German army!"

"But in the recent days of battle, their casualties are still relatively large!"

"I have evacuated them, rest and replenish them!"

Zhukov continued to agree.

"Their combat mission is to complete the base camp to encircle and annihilate the German troops in the Novgorod region, including capturing the city of Luga, and leaving to the front line of Krabkitzen and the small Udorkush, blocking the main retreat route of the German army in Pskov, and passing through the main forces of the German army from there to those troops?"

After hearing that Zhukov had all withdrawn the 67th Army and the 59th Army for rest, Rokosovsky exclaimed.

"The troops of the Leningrad Front Army were held, because this time in Leningrad, they wanted to avenge the Germans and clear away the hatred of Leningrad being surrounded!"

Zhukov replied without hesitation.

"What about Tihvin? The German special forces of Flying Leopard, which is flexible in organization, capable personnel, well-equipped, fast and maneuverable, well-trained and powerful in combat, have not found them and eliminated them assault teams you just said!

"And according to the German sneak attack on Tihvin the day before yesterday, they also dispatched large troops to assist in the attack!"

"It is obvious that the German army's goal is to occupy Tihvin and cut off all the supply lines in Leningrad, so that Leningrad can truly cut off external aid and lack food and all support items."

"The German army's approach was to starve all the people in Leningrad to death and then capture the entire Leningrad!"

"Although even if Tihvin was occupied by the German army, we can still solve the problem of transporting food, weapons and equipment, as well as ammunition by building a road from Zaborier Railway Station northwards around Tihvin and then to Nova Ladoga."

"But if we were to do that, then we would need a large number of ships and air forces to escort it to enable the transportation of military supplies and medicines, as well as food and soldiers through the waters on the shore of Lake Ladoga!"

Rokosovsky frowned and said his concerns.

"I know all of these, so we cannot lose either Tihvin or Leningrad. In this battle, we only allow victory and absolutely cannot fail!"

"Because no matter whether it is the loss of Leningrad or Moscow, it will cause great shock and chaos to the morale of our troops, including the hearts of the people across the country!"
