In the evening, Andrei summarized what Anna said and sent it to Moscow, and then the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the rear will review Anna's father's case, and Anna's sister Lilia will be sent to the children's home in the rear, Anna really learned electricity at the beginning, therefore, in addition to doing some chores in the division headquarters, it is to help in the communication company, this girl is also of high quality, different from Ulanova, Anna is the kind of person who says, not so tall, and the gentleness of oriental women.

However, Andre took his sister back to the division headquarters, and everyone had a look in their eyes that you understand, which made Andre very depressed!

The next day, Andrei waited for a big man at the division headquarters, General Zhukov, and saw that Zhukov personally went to the Mamayev Gang, Andrei was shocked, of course, Andrei knew that Zhukov came to Stalingrad for the counteroffensive, but according to history, the counteroffensive was a failure: on August 29, 1942, Zhukov flew to Stalingrad and began to organize the counterattack of the 24th, 66th and 1st Guards armies. On September 3, 1942, Stalin telegraphed Zhukov demanding an immediate assault on Stalingrad in order to ease local tensions.

At dawn on September 5, 1942, Zhukov threw three new armies into a counterattack, but due to hasty preparations, the counterattack did not achieve the expected goal. That night, Stalin ordered Zhukov to continue the assault. On September 6, 1942, the Soviet Red Army attacked again and failed again. On September 10, 1942, the Soviet Red Army attempted to launch a surprise attack from the north to restore contact with the 62nd Army, but was again unsuccessful. On September 12, 1942, the Soviet Red Army withdrew to the perimeter of the city, and the outer defensive zone had been completely lost, and the German army broke through the city of Stalingrad and advanced from the south to the Volga River, separating the 62nd Army defending the city from the rest of the battlefield.

In the Caucasus direction, Army Group A advanced at high speed. On August 9, 1942, Kleist's 1st Panzer Army occupied the McCop oil field. On August 22, 1942, Kleist's soldiers raised the swastikas of the Third Reich at the peak of Mount Errus at an altitude of 18,526 feet. On August 25, 1942, Kleist's division captured Mozdok, only 50 miles from the largest Soviet oil-producing center around Grozny and 100 miles from the Caspian Sea. On August 31, 1942, Hitler demanded that Field Marshal Lister, commander of Army Group A, devote all his forces to a final assault on Grozny and take the oil fields as soon as possible. But the German shock power declined rapidly and progress slowly. On 9 September 1942, Hitler dismissed Field Marshal Lister from his post as commander of Army Group A, and was replaced by General Kleist, commander of the 1st Panzer Army, and General Mackenson, commander of the 1st Panzer Army. After Kleist took office, despite his best efforts, he could not move forward. Because the main reason for the loss of impact force is the lack of fuel.

On September 12, 1942, Hitler flew from East Prussia to Vinnytsia, Ukraine, summoned General Weix, commander of Army Group B, and General Paulus, commander of the 6th Army, and ordered them to launch a new offensive against Stalingrad on September 13, 1942, and decided to transfer 9 divisions from the Caucasus direction to reinforce the 6th Army.

In this life, because of his own disturbances, Zhukov's counteroffensive time was pushed back by two days, and Zhukov, who came to Andrei's division, let the others leave first as soon as he sat down, and Andrei also ordered the cooking class to cook some sumptuous dishes, and as soon as he sat down, Zhukov looked at Andrey and asked: "Do you think we can hold Stalingrad?" Hearing Zhukov's question, Andrei couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. You must know that these words should not be asked casually by a commander of his level.

Hearing Zhukov asking himself, he quickly stood up and said in an affirmative tone: "Then it is needless to say, Comrade Deputy Commander-in-Chief, we will definitely be able to hold Stalingrad, and we will do everything in our power to block the Germans on the left bank of the Volga and prevent them from crossing our Volga." ”

After listening to Andrei's words, Zhukov's eyes looked at the roof, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table, as if thoughtful. After a while, his fingers stopped, frowned, looked at me with inquiring eyes, and asked: "I remember that you once wrote an analysis of the battle situation, according to that analysis, you thought that the German army would be under Stalingrad, and now your analysis report has caused a vibration at the top, because you predicted the current situation a few months ago, and according to the analysis of the current situation, the General Staff conducted a war game deduction, and the prediction of the next battle situation is no different from your analysis!" ”

For the first time, Andrei felt nervous with a serious expression on Zhukov's face, and Andrei replied with some nervousness: "Yes...... That's right, Comrade General. At present, our army is temporarily at a disadvantage compared with the German army in terms of technology and equipment. In order to reverse this unfavorable situation, the only way to do this was to turn field battles into street battles, disperse their forces, reduce the frontal pressure on our defensive troops, and resolve the crisis by hand-to-hand combat. After saying these words in one breath, Andrei felt that the back of his military uniform was soaked with cold sweat.

Zhukov did not stand up, did not change his posture, just frowned and thought.

Seeing that Zhukov fell into deep thought, and did not react for a long time, Andrei was also silent on the side, and after waiting for a while, Zhukov continued: "Whatever you think, Andrey, your use of troops is often ingenious, and the German army has suffered many times, and the special forces you formed are currently playing a great role in the battle, and do you know that you said in a report that you should strengthen training, and improve the quality of troops, you should rotate and form snipers, gunners, engineers, The idea of a professional sergeant training school is now implemented in the training in the rear, and I can only describe it as a genius if I can think of so much, but even if there is a genius, why do you have such specific and operational measures, the organization is so clear, I can't believe it! ”

"This." Andrei now directly scolded himself in his heart when he was in Leningrad in order to live to the great goal of the post-war period, according to the history of later generations, and possible variables, he wrote several articles analyzing the war situation, but he didn't expect to be handed over to Beria, the Ministry of Internal Affairs can't even trust his own people, it can be said that it is because of these reports that the base camp decided to send Andrei to Mamayev Gang to inspect the goods, and now the Soviet army is in great need of excellent commanders, because of these analysis reports, Zhukov directly asked Stalin to transfer Andrei from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the Red Army troops, but Beria quit on the spot, Andrei is indeed a talent, born as an orphan, raised in an orphanage and school of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and was very interested in military affairs when he studied in school, so after becoming an officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he was sent to the special service section of the Red Army troops, and now Andrei's performance can be said to be the best among the young generation of internal affairs officers.

So in the end, Stalin decided to give Andrei an independent unit and see how he performed, and in August, the Siberian Volunteer Division actually directly defeated the same number of German 29th Motorized Rifle Division in a night attack and captured the division commander, so the base camp was awarded the official number of the provisional unit, and there was good treatment in terms of supplies and other aspects!

Now Andrei didn't know all these twists and turns, he was thinking about how to explain to Zhukov that he knew so much, so he said: "Comrade General, in fact, there are some things that others have told me, they are all military experts, and they died after telling me all kinds of ideas, so I can't say it because?"

Hearing Andrei's suffering, Zhukov felt that the people who told Andrei about these were the countless commanders who died in the Great Purge, and he remembered that when he was studying in Frunze, there were only a few classmates at that time, and countless professional military talents died before the war, which is also an important reason why the overall combat capability of the Red Army is lower than that of the German army!

Thinking of this, Zhukov fell into deep thought, and then he asked Andrei: "Do you think the counterattack will be successful?" ”
