Smolensk was the bridgehead to guard Moscow after Belarus was occupied by the Germans. The Germans adopted their usual blitzkrieg plan. The 17th Armored Division, at the forefront, acted extremely quickly. Crossed the Dnieper River and rushed to the south of the city of Smolensk!

But after all, they only had one armored unit and went deeper alone. They originally planned to take Smolensk directly with their rapid advantage.

At the same time, they almost succeeded. When they rushed in from the south, they encountered militia groups, which were vulnerable and could be beaten. They occupied the entire city, but as a result, the people on the other side blew up the bridge.

It was precisely because they broke the bridge in time that the 17th Armored Division was blocked in the south of the city. Lu Jin led his men to confront the German army across the river.

After persisting for a day or two, Timuxine was coming to new reinforcements, including the 29th, 30th, 28th and 24th armies, which surrounded the German army from outside.

In this way, the situation became very clever. In the city, the 17th Armored Division moved into defense. They occupied the southern part of the city of Smolensk and fought with the surrounding troops. Although the Soviet Union used several armies, they could not eat the troops.

While they were fighting the siege, the rest of the German troops were also attacking quickly. They did not directly head towards Smolensk, but boldly detoured to the rear. The situation was quite skillful and cliché, and they wanted to encircle all of these armies and eat them.

Now, it depends on which side is faster.

Yarcevo, east of Smolensk.

Sitting on a Gorky off-road vehicle, a burly man put his hand on the windshield in front, stood and looked in front.

"Yes, this is the order given to me by the base camp. Any troops I encountered along the way will be taken to my command. Which part of you are from?"

"Report to the Chief of Staff behind, he will give you specific organization. You are now part of the Rokosovsky cluster!"

Taking over the command of a company made Rokosovsky feel very happy. Then, he saw that in a village in the distance, there were actually several tanks staying there!

"Come on, go and get those tanks in hand!" Rokosovsky shouted loudly.

Konstantinovich Rokosovsky, with the rank of major general, in later evaluations, he was one of the three troikas of the Soviet Army along with Zhukov and Konev. He was calm and steady, and was calm in trouble. He made many military achievements during the adversity period in the Soviet Patriotic War and was praised as a "hero of adversity."

Compared to Lu Jin, he is more legendary.

Rokosovsky was born in Daluki in 1896, and belonged to a city in Prakov. His mother was Russian and his father was Pole.

Yes, because he had this half of his origin, he was thrown into prison with Polish spies and other charges, and was about to be shot to death when the vigorous purge began.

Compared to so many unlucky guys who were executed, Rokosovsky was definitely lucky because he knew Temuxin.

When Temuxine was the commander of the 3rd Cavalry Army, Rokosovsky served as the commander of the Cavalry Division under him. Temuxine knew his character and talent very well, so he wanted to win him off.

It was also just so happened that the Soviet-Finn War was unfavorable at this time. Timxinge supported Stalin's former subordinates on the grounds that the troops urgently needed command talents. So, with Stalin's acquiescence, Rokosovsky was "shot".

He just got an empty bullet, and then under the name of a death row inmate, Rokosovsky miraculously restored his post. Then the Soviet Union began to form a mechanized army, and he was promoted to commander of the 9th mechanized army.

At the beginning of the war, Rokosovs basically commanded his 9th mechanized army to fight in the south. Just a few days ago, he received the order from Moscow to hand over the troops to his deputy and went to Moscow to receive the task of establishing a new army group.

At that time, he was in the General Staff Department, so he almost started fighting with others.

Now, the Soviets have transferred all their main forces to Smolensk, and a terrible vacuum zone has appeared in the area from Smolensk to Moscow.

Rokosovsky did not get any troops, but only had several staff officers and soldiers. This was his headquarters.

At the same time, according to Lu Jin's way, he obtained a right: from Moscow to Yarcewo, all the remaining soldiers who had been removed from the front line were included in his enlistment and command, which was considered the basic team of the new army group.

This army group is called the Rokosovsky cluster.

Now, Rokosovsky is building his cluster. In the past few days, he has already packed up thousands of people, but there is still a long way to what he needs, especially since he does not have a decent tank unit yet!

The Germans were all armored divisions. If their infantry encountered armored troops, they would only be defeated, so they had to have tanks.

Now that I see those tanks, how can I not make him excited?

"Quick, hurry, drive over!" Rokosovsky shouted loudly to his driver.

Gorky's car quickly headed towards the village over there.

"Hey, which part of you are? I am General Rokosovsky. Now I order you to join my cluster." With the experience of these days, Rokosovsky is also familiar with it.

As he got closer, he was surprised to see that there were actually several Stalin tanks here. This was a good thing that could compete with the German tanks head-on!

This time, Rokosovsky hit a wall.

After hearing his voice, a colonel walked out of the village where he was stationed.

"We are the 238th mechanized division, we are commanded by Marshal Timusingo of the Russell. Now we are carrying out the orders of Marshal Timusingo and heading towards Smolensk. Sorry, you have no right to order us." said the division commander Koroya.

Rokosovsky had only been scattered soldiers and scattered soldiers. Of course, this kind of neatly established troops would not obey his command.

However, looking at the Stalin tanks, Rokosovsky felt a little jealous. No, he wanted to bring them over no matter what he said!

"I have an order signed by Comrade Stalin himself." Rokosovsky took out his own order and placed it in front of the other party: "Did you see it? I have this power. Now I order you to follow me!"
