When Zhukov made the move, the commander of the Leningrad Front, Govorov, immediately mobilized the 2nd Army under his command, which was commanded by Lieutenant General Fedyuninsky, and the 42nd and 67th armies for a general mobilization operation.

The commander of the Volkhov Front, General Meretskov, was also in the 8th, 54th, and 59th armies under his command, and carried out pre-war general mobilization.

In addition, the 2nd Front on the Baltic Sea under the command of General Popov, as well as the Red Banner Baltic Fleet and long-range aviation and other units were also deployed in Stalin's battle plan.

The strength of these troops to be gathered is more than 400,000 people, which is almost four times stronger than the original historical strength of more than 1.25 million troops.

At the same time, the Soviet army also had more than 1,500 tanks and self-propelled guns, 800 aircraft providing tactical support, 250 support aircraft promised by the Baltic Fleet, and 400 bomber groups of long-range aviation.

Govorov had at least 33 to 35 infantry divisions and 4 infantry brigades, which operated in conjunction with Rybalchenko's 13th Army Air Army.

As for the infantry divisions owned by the commander General Meretskov, about 25 infantry divisions, 7 infantry brigades, and 5 tank brigades, as well as Zhuravlev's 14th Air Army, they fought in tandem.

At the same time, the Leningrad naval base was in the hands of Rear Admiral I. Kullesov, and the Kelangstadt naval fortress was in the hands of Rear Admiral G.I. Levchenko.

At the same time, the two rear admirals were now not only dispatching fleets to assemble, but also helping other fronts to transport heavy weapons and equipment, especially petroleum fuel, aviation fuel, all kinds of weapons and equipment, and ammunition, as well as food and healing medicines, as well as winter uniforms.

These weapons and military supplies are all using motorized barges, small steamers, and new landing craft supported by Britain and the United States; Transport boats, Soviet tugboats and other miscellaneous types of ships to carry out the transport.

At the same time, Leningrad was still working overtime to lay a large number of fortifications, such as trenches, barbed wire, and concealed fire points; cross-fire points, and fixed fire points, as well as anti-tank trenches, minefields; Anti-tank artillery placement points, underground bunkers and dugouts, food storage points, as well as medical sites.......

By this time, Vice Admiral Fletcher had already led his aircraft carrier fleet to the Vladivostok fortress, where they were stationed.

"The leader of the Soviet army, Stalin, sent us a combat mission, look at it! Lieutenant General Fletcher! ”

Having just arrived at the Vladivostok fortress and had not yet led his naval forces ashore, Vice Admiral Fletcher, who was on the job of accepting the work, received an urgent telegram from Rear Admiral Neuss.

"Hmmm! What combat missions? We've just gotten here? ”

Lieutenant General Fletcher wondered as he took the evil document handed to him.

But soon he opened the document in his hand and looked at it, and he browsed it very quickly.

It didn't take him long to finish it, and he was silent.

"What's wrong? What did Stalin say? What combat mission do we want to do with our sighs? ”

Looking at Lieutenant General Fletcher, who was speechless, Major General Noyce hurriedly asked.

"It was the Soviets who wanted to launch a large-scale war of annihilation, they intended to launch a campaign of annihilation in Leningrad Novgorod, the target was Army Group North in Moder!"

Lieutenant General Fletcher said with a frown.

"Oh my God! These Soviet troops are also too powerful! Didn't they just suffer a defeat along the Dnieper? How can you be able to fight so quickly? ”

"Is their reserve force so strong? Or do we look too little at their troop deployment? ”

Hearing this, Major General Noyce immediately exclaimed.

"I don't know! But Stalin wanted us to assist their Red Sea Fleet and Baltic Fleet, to carry out support operations to destroy the German troops, and to deal with the German aviation units! ”

Lieutenant General Fletcher shrugged his shoulders and said.
