"Commander! Oh no, the 38th Army was beaten badly, they were annihilated by the Germans with 60,000 troops! The first round of our assault on the Dnieper-Zaporozhye landing operation ended in a crushing defeat, and now our front-line troops stationed in Zaporozhye on the Dnieper are in chaos! ”

"And the follow-up army of the German army is also rapidly massing in Zaporozhye on the Dnieper, and their goal may be to get our Southwestern Front Army Group!"

At this time, Zhukov's deputy, who was also the commander of the revitalized 42nd Army Group, Fedyuninsky, was sweating profusely, panting and rushing to Zhukov's front of him, and reported in a deafening voice.

And at this moment, Zhukov in order to achieve victory in the Dnieper counterattack and the success of Zaporozhye's breakthrough across the river; are working on the front line for more than 20 hours a day; He was either observing the terrain or familiarizing himself with the combat situation of the troops, the deployment of personnel, and the supply of logistics.

In short, his purpose was to know himself and his opponent, and of course to include the deployment of German troops; and the offensive situation, he is also highly concerned.

So as soon as he learned that the German army had annihilated 60,000 people of the Soviet 38th Army in the shortest possible time, he immediately received this news.

"Give me the order to immediately strengthen reconnaissance and observation of the German troops, and give me a comprehensive analysis of their next combat intentions!"

"In addition, the Steppe Front and other ground forces such as the Western Front will immediately send reinforcements to support, and the reserves will immediately enter the stage of defensive operations to prepare for a surprise attack by the German army on our large rear!"

"And to dispatch our air power to immediately repel the continued attack of the German army, it is absolutely impossible for them to completely annihilate the 38th Army and encircle the Southwestern Front!"

"Finally, immediately inform the Southwestern Front to stop all offensives, immediately switch to strategic defensive warfare, and try to consume the living forces of the German army!"

As soon as Zhukov received the news of the defeat of the Soviet 38th Army across the river, he immediately and decisively gave a new combat order.

"Yes! Commander! ”

Fedyuninsky immediately nodded in response.

"In addition, in case the Germans will carry out large-scale air raids, and night raids! We'll have to draw in some of our ground forces and reserves to be ready for a night battle! ”

Then Marshal Zhukov continued.

"I'll go right away!"

Fedyuninsky's eyes lit up again, and he nodded in response.

"Hmmm! I'm going to go to the front line right away to observe and command! ”

After finishing speaking, Zhukov also said with a solemn face.

"That's right! Commander Zhukov, will we emerge victorious! Commander! I mean, do you feel like we're going to be able to win this Dnieper counterattack? I don't know why I've been restless lately, so I'm worried about the outcome of this counterattack! ”

At this moment, however, Fedyuninsky looked at Zhukov with apprehension and asked in a slightly worried tone.

"We will definitely achieve the final victory, believe in ourselves and in the leadership of Comrade Stalin! And we also have to fight those German troops for the national liberation and victory of our motherland! ”

Zhukov responded in a firm tone.

"Yes! Commander! I'm going to kick all those Germans out of our country!" We will also fight to their capital, Berlin, to avenge the death of our people and soldiers! Long live the Soviet Republic! Long live Comrade Stalin! ”

"Ulla! Ulla! Ulla! ”

Hearing this, Fedyuninsky suddenly shouted as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and used all his strength to shout enthusiastically. In this regard, Zhukov was very satisfied with the other party's attitude, and nodded with a smile; Then, with a few guards, he hurriedly drove to the front line to inspect it.

Fejuninskyton, on the other hand, quickly helped Zhukov to convey the latest battle orders to the high-ranking officers and operational staff officers of the various armies.
