The support units requested by the commander of the division Sergei to Zhukov, who was far away in Leningrad, included 5 infantry divisions and 3 tank brigades; 3 artillery regiments, 300,000 supplementary troops, 2 distant aviation divisions, and a large number of weapons and equipment for supply support.

Regarding the sergei division commander's request for help with such a lion's mouth, as soon as he received the other party's telegram for help, Zhukov immediately frowned deeply.

But at the same time, he also quickly issued an order, first dispatching two long-range aviation units to Kharkiv to quickly carry out support operations.

In addition, he immediately issued an order for the Kharkov side to report to him on the strength of the German army and the battle situation.

He wanted to find out how many troops the Germans had deployed to attack Kharkov so that he could deploy his troops.

But even so, he immediately dispatched two infantry divisions and one mechanized division to Kharkov at full speed for the first round of support.

At the same time, the 3rd Guards Army and the 1st Guards Tank Army also received the order to prepare for follow-up support.

"What's the matter, your face is so ugly?"

Looking at Zhukov's deeply frowning brow, Rokossovsky wondered.

"The Germans attacked Kharkov! And the battle situation there is very bad, and the troops we are stationed there are very unfavorable! ”

"If we don't immediately send in aviation and infantry to support, I'm afraid they will be surrounded and annihilated by the Germans!"

"At the very least, a lot of officers and soldiers will be killed and injured by the German aviation and artillery units!"

Zhukov replied.

"What! The Germans attacked? ”

Hearing this, Rokossovsky exclaimed in shock.

"Yes!"

"I just don't know what the purpose of their sudden attack on Kharkov is!"

"I don't know why I always have bad feelings, but I hope this time the Germans won't have any offensive that we didn't expect! Otherwise, we may be caught off guard by them again! ”

Zhukov worried.

"Hmmm! I think so too! ”

"I think we should immediately send more personnel to fully understand the situation in Kharkiv, or there may be a situation like what you said!"

"Because we have already tried a few lessons, we must not let the Germans take advantage of the situation again and let them win!"

Rokossovsky also nodded in agreement immediately.

"That's right! I will immediately send more reconnaissance aircraft groups there to conduct reconnaissance, and I absolutely cannot be ignorant of the German offensive and troop situation! ”

Zhukov immediately decided.

"Hmmm! Let's also take a look at the map of Kharkiv right away and see how we plan the next military deployment! ”

"And we also need to report to Comrade Stalin about Kharkov, which was attacked by the Germans! Otherwise, if he gets angry, we'll be in trouble! ”

Rokossovsky reminded.

"Hmmm! Let's get started now! ”

Zhukov agreed briefly.

Then the two of them immediately went to Stalin to report on the situation in Kharkiv, and then carefully studied the battle map of Kharkov and the current situation of being attacked by the German army, and studied how to deal with it.

At this time, Kharkov was also under the powerful carpet-like bombardment of the German army, and the smoke of the bombing was filled, the smell of gunpowder filled the entire sky, and the night gradually fell, covering the earth.

At the same time, German army units also appeared on the outskirts of Kharkov one after another, preparing for a large-scale offensive.

However, before that, the German army first let those commandos and special forces enter Kharkov to carry out a sneak attack, solve the outer front of the Soviet army, and create an opportunity for the German army's follow-up army to attack generally.
