Chapter 1484

I'm now deputy commander of the front army. Although I'm only acting, I can't stay in the headquarters of katukov all the time. So in seizing chernofze's "this is great." I was also happy to hear that rebalko's tank commander was about to be promoted, so I instinctively said, "general rebalko, please convey my congratulations to him."“ Yes, Rita. I'll give him what you mean After finishing this sentence, rebalko suddenly changed the topic and said: "the next task of our group army is to attack jernopol. After a scuffle, though most of the technical equipment was discarded on the battlefield, half of the German 48th armored forces successfully retreated to jernopol. " When I heard the name of the 48th armored army, my face muscles could not help twitching violently. I secretly complained about Zhukov in my heart. It would not be so easy for the 48th armored army of the German army to break through the encirclement if he had not been stubborn and delayed in filling the gap between the two groups. Now that more than half of the enemy have successfully retreated into jernopol, our troops are bound to pay a higher price in seizing the city. But I can only hide these complaints in my heart, but I can't speak them out in public. On the contrary, I had to say a few good words for Zhukov in front of rebarko and his deputies: "the 48th German Panzer Army broke through because the enemy found a gap of several kilometers between the two groups we were attacking. Because of the limited number of troops we can use, we are unable to fill these gaps in a short time. As a result, the elite German armored forces escaped from these gaps. It is a pity. Although the marshal discovered that the enemy unexpectedly broke through the front of our army and took corresponding measures to send planes to bomb the German armored forces in the process of breaking through, he did not expect that the enemy could leave the technical equipment behind and escape from the encirclement of our army lightly. " After these words, I saw that everyone was silent and knew that they were inconvenient to express their views against Zhukov in front of me, so that they would not be put on shoes after I made a small report. I adjusted the subject and asked, "general rebalko, I don't know what your attack sequence is at jernopol?" Hearing the question I asked, the chief of staff, who had just said nothing, immediately took over my topic and said, "Comrade deputy commander of the front army, I am the chief of staff. Please allow me to introduce the situation to you." After I nodded my head, he talked on and on: "as the first echelon, general Panfilov's close guard tank Sixth Army, behind them, is the close guard mechanized seventh army. And our second echelon is the 7th army of close guard tanks... "After the chief of staff introduced the situation of the army, we turned to rebalko and asked," Comrade General, how long do you think it will take your army to capture jernopol? " As for my question, rebalko thought for a moment, then frowned and said: "because the German army has a solid defense system in this area, and the disabled soldiers of the 48th armored army retreated into the city not long ago, all these make our attack more difficult. I think it will take us half a month at the earliest to capture the city. "
