The weather was getting worse and colder, and the wind and snow were combined, and in the dense wooded forest of the large rear of the Soviet army, a long transport train, while the long and somewhat mournful whistle sound came and went; The inside of the carriages that could not be seen at the end of the train, so the Soviet officers and soldiers who were crowded together were not stuffed with wounded soldiers, but reinforcements.

Like the train drivers, these reinforcements wore furry fur hats and thick military uniforms or cotton coats.

The moment the train travels at high speed, the snowflakes that fall on it are blocked and raised, and the scenery is very beautiful.

It's just that for those Soviet officers and soldiers in the train, it's not a good thing.

Although they were all dressed tightly and fully armed.

But the snowflakes that were flying all over the sky were still a lot of fish that slipped through the cracks in the frosty windows and got into the train, and they swirled like elves inside, exuding cold.

Many Soviet soldiers, who had poor resistance, suddenly felt cold and numb in their legs, feet and hands, and sometimes accompanied by the bumps of the train, which made them very uncomfortable.

However, none of these Soviet officers and soldiers uttered a single word of complaint, or complained.

Because they knew very well that they were already the happiest officers and soldiers of all the Soviet troops sent to the front, because many Soviet officers and soldiers were able to obtain such good winter clothes against the cold like them, and they were not the first batch to be sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder.

In particular, the thought of the wounded soldiers transported to the rear from Northern Europe, their pitiful and painful appearance, simply made all the new Soviet officers and soldiers deeply sympathetic and worried whether they would be carried away from the battlefield like those wounded soldiers, and then transported back to the rear ambulance station like garbage.

These new reinforcements, one of Zhukov's main forces, were left to fight against the Germans when the war was at its most unfavorable.

Therefore, the treatment of these Soviet troops is better than that of other Soviet troops, including the weapons and equipment they use are the latest in the Soviet army.

Even if it was the new weapons and equipment provided by the US military, Zhukov was the first to reequip the officers and men of one of these main forces to carry out operations.

And when these new main Soviet troops were riding the train to the assembly place requested by Zhukov in the whistling wind and snow, Zhukov himself was also at his underground air defense headquarters, looking at the latest battle reports from the front line with a serious face.

Zhukov, who came from the 4th Regiment of the 1st Moscow Cavalry Division, did not give up on himself because his father Kon Andreevich was a shoemaker and his mother U. Arteyevna was a migrant worker working on the farm.

Therefore, after joining the Soviet Red Army, he studied the military knowledge of commanding battles more attentively, and after he became the commander of the 39th Cavalry Regiment, he was immediately admitted to the Leningrad Higher Cavalry School with excellent grades and obtained the opportunity to further his studies.

Later, at the moment of Stalin's purge, he relied on his usual accumulated military exploits and connections, so as to gain Stalin's reuse.

Of course, this premise is still because Stalin killed two of the five generalissimos of the Soviet army and left two.

One was Kliment Yevremovich Voroshilov, the other was Semyon Mikhailovich Budyonny, and these two marshals were not purged by Stalin.

Because Voroshilov was a "red marshal" who obeyed Stalin's orders and took an active part in a large number of brutal repressive purges, he was not purged by Stalin and was able to maintain his high position as marshal.

Budyonny, who served as the commander of the Soviet 1st Cavalry Army, became Stalin's most trusted general in the Red Army like the military commissars Voroshilov, Kulik, Timoshenko, Rokossovsky, Zhukov and others.

However, in the Battle of Kiev in 1941, he was to save the lives of most of the Soviet 5th, 21st, 37th, and 26th armies, and 660,000 officers and soldiers of the 40th and 38th armies, which were surrounded by the German army; Thus ignoring Stalin's death order, so that all Soviet troops stationed in Kiev, no one can take half a step back, and put forward a request to Stalin to retreat, for which under the roar of the angry Stalin, he has since lost Stalin's reuse, was removed from the post of commander-in-chief of the southwest, and gradually withdrew from the high-level circle of the Soviet army.

However, Zhukov was in the period of Stalin's purge, relying on the big support of Budyonny, so he was first appointed as the commander of the 1st Army of the Soviet Army in Mongolia in the Battle of Nomenhan, commanding the troops to fight against Japan, and winning more with less, and beating the Kwantung Army, which is known as the flower of the imperial army, with heavy casualties and crying fathers and mothers.

In the end, after almost 60,000 Japanese casualties, the Japanese army had no choice but to fight the top of the Soviet army; As well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to negotiate an armistice, the signing of a border treaty.

Later, Zhukov was also promoted to general by Stalin, then chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Army, and then marshal......

"What exactly were the main operational objectives of the German army? Why is their style of play getting weirder and weirder, and I can't understand it now? ”

"What the hell are they going to do with us now? Or is it a defensive war, or a large-scale hard-fought battle? Or guerrilla warfare? Or a blitzkrieg of small forces? ”

After reading the latest front-line battle report, Zhukov was full of confusion, frowning and muttering to himself.

At this time, the snowflakes outside his headquarters were more and more numerous and dense, and the sound of artillery fire from the frontline could be faintly heard.

However, due to the increasing intensity of wind and snow, and the cold weather, many artillery pieces could only be fired intermittently; Even some were frozen after only a few shots and needed to be repaired.
