Chapter 10021: You sing and I appear

"No, man, now is not the time to take it lightly, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and Wang Liang's suggestion is not unreasonable. It's just that we urgently need a great victory now, and we can't care about so much. "Marshal Zhukov in the end, his mind is still clear at the moment.

Although he had some pertinent logistical problems raised by Wang Liang in his heart, the situation and identity did not allow him to make any moves.

"Telegraph Rokossovs to order the 65th and 24th armies under his command to cut off the enemy forces in the Don salient and the enemy forces in the Stalingrad area." Zhukov said to the staff officer.

Everything proceeded in an orderly manner according to the plan of action, and the Soviet army assembled 11 corps and a number of separate tank brigades and corps, and on the air side, the 2nd and 17th Air Corps supported the Southwestern Front, the 16th Air Corps supported the Don Front, and the 8th Air Corps supported the Stalingrad Front.

The Soviet Red Army estimated that 1,100,000 soldiers, 804 tanks, 13,400 artillery pieces, and more than 1,000 aircraft took part in the operation.

At the very beginning of the operation, a series of problems arose.

"It was reported that the Stalingrad Front was hampered by heavy enemy shelling and had difficulty maneuvering."

"It was reported that due to the blurred vision caused by dense fog and heavy snowfall, the front-line commander suggested postponing the shelling."

"Report, the Air Force unit is not yet in place!"

Report ......

At that time, the headquarters will be in chaos, and all kinds of problems will arise one after another.

However, Zhukov and Vasilevsky had already made all the preparations and solved them according to the plan, and after a while, the problem was finally solved.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief and smiled knowingly, things were not bad at all.

"Reports that temperatures plummeted, a sudden snowstorm and the offensive of the Air Force and ground forces was frustrated. The soldiers have not yet received winter uniforms and are in severe cases of frostbite. "Another emergency has arisen.

"Order the baggage troops to immediately transport their winter uniforms to the front line, and let the soldiers change their clothes immediately." Zhukov ordered.

"Report, winter military uniforms winter military uniforms have not yet been delivered!"

"Call and ask why!"

Hearing this, Vasilevsky couldn't sit still, obviously, the logistics question mentioned by Wang Liang before was exposed, and it sounded very serious.

"According to the report, the baggage troops chose to give priority to the delivery of food, and in order to take into account the sudden change in the weather, the winter military uniforms are still 1,500 kilometers away."

"Ask the soldier about his condition and whether he can continue to complete the offensive plan." Zhukov continued to ask.

"It was reported that the condition of the participating units was very poor, and the front-line commanders recommended a postponement of the offensive date and a complete redesign of the entire plan."

Zhukov sat down weakly and ordered: "All units suspend the offensive, return to the garrison and stand by, and prepare for air defense." ”

Zhukov and Vasilevsky immediately reported the situation to the high command, and of course they were inevitably scolded by Lao Si, and in this way, Wang Liang went out of the mountain again.

"Really? Was it Marshal Zhukov who let us pass? With a look of disbelief on his face, Rychagov checked over and over again with the officer who had invited him.

"Yes, please General Wang Liang must go over immediately, Marshal Zhukov and General Vasilevsky are waiting there." The officer said respectfully, and his attitude could be described as a big change.

"Boss, boss, Marshal Zhukov invites us over!" Rychagov hurriedly ran to the door of Wang Liang's house and knocked on the door, his excitement beyond words.

Wang Liang opened the door of the room with sleepy eyes, and made a fuss in the morning, which directly affected his sleep.

"It's over, what's it called?" Wang Liang said angrily.

"Boss, it's Marshal Zhukov, we've been reappointed!" Rychagov was excited and excited, dancing with his hands, trying to make Wang Liang happy, but to no avail.

What had been expected for a long time, Wang Liang's heart naturally did not have any waves, changed into a military uniform, and followed the officers who came to invite him to the headquarters of Operation Uranus.

As soon as they entered the hall, everyone inside stood up, including the two respected generals.

"General Wang Liang, please accept my most sincere apology, I am really sorry for what happened before. Please forgive me for my arrogance and give me a chance to make amends. Vasilevsky was almost educated by Lao Si, and bent down to apologize to Wang Liang.

This surprised the officers of the General Staff in the hall even more, and the performance of the Chief of the General Staff was too exaggerated!

"I can't do it, I can't help it, Chief of the General Staff, don't do this." Wang Liang hurriedly stepped forward to help Vasilevsky, in fact, he understood the chief of the General Staff very well.

The effect of historical limitations is naturally not felt by the onlooker, and the participants of history are often limited by it and then make some wrong decisions.

In the old Chinese saying, it is the authorities who are obsessed with bystanders.

As a traverser, Wang Liang has a God's perspective and knows about ancient and modern events, so he can see many issues very clearly.

The two generals briefly comforted him, and began to ask Wang Liang to make suggestions.

"My suggestion is the same, postpone the attack for ten days." Wang Liang said.

"It didn't take so long to deliver the cotton clothes, so why delay it for ten days? Ten days was a bit too much time to prepare the Germans. Also, what are your plans for these ten days? Vasilevsky asked suspiciously.

Wang Liang said confidently: "Ten days is already very tense for us, listen to my arrangement." First, front-line units should learn how to prevent enemy counteroffends, and use mechanized units to open breaches and conduct actual combat exercises. In addition, these activities are to be disguised by a number of deceptive actions, including the reduction of radio communications, camouflage, operational secrecy, the use of messengers for radio communications, and deceptive actions, such as increased troop movements around Moscow. ”

"Second, the attacking forces that were ordered to attack were ordered to construct fortifications, thus misjudging the actions of the Germans. Fake bridges were built over the Don River to disguise the real bridges that had already been built across the river. Arrange for troops to carry out feints against Army Group Center, and organize some nominal armies to give the Germans the false impression that the focus of the attack is in the center. ”

"Third, arrange for small groups of elite troops to carry out small-scale reconnaissance of the frontline areas that are about to become the focus of breakthroughs. Requirements, carefully grasp all the data that may be useful. For example, if our troops are unable to correct the shelling through visual observation due to dense fog, it is entirely possible to accurately fire artillery by relying on dozens of days of preparation and ranging work on the front line. to cut off communication lines and destroy the temporary accumulation of German ammunition and forward observation points. ”
