Rokosovsky summed up the various problems exposed by the Red Army since the war started. He spoke very carefully and devotedly. The people at the meeting did not think that there was nothing wrong with doing the summary work at this time. Many people even took out the notebooks they carried with them to record them, and some people kept asking for speeches, either putting forward new opinions or adding to Rokosovsky's speech. The atmosphere was really harmonious and enthusiastic.

At the beginning, Li Xiaofeng was preparing to interrupt Rokosovsky for the summary work, because what he wanted to hear for the time being was not the so-called lessons, but the combat deployment and plan he wanted to hear, and hope that Rokosovsky could come up with an effective set of methods to defeat Guderian.

However, when Li Xiaofeng saw more and more commanders and division commanders asking for speeches and taking careful notes, he gave up this idea. He listened quietly to Rokosovsky's speech, looking like a good student.

His attitude also made the commander of the army, commander and division commander very happy. The war has been going on for several months, and the battle is awkward! They have tried to persuade the front and the General Staff again and again, or constantly give suggestions, but they are really unlucky, and they only received Tukhachevsky's reprimand and accusations.

They really need a superior leader who can respect them and give them a chance to express their opinions. In other words, what Rokosovsky is doing now is what they have always dreamed of since the war began.

As the commander of the army, the commander and the division commander compared the differences between Tukhachevsky and Li Xiaofeng, and they couldn't help but get closer to someone. You have to throw away the goods! Look at Comrade Andre, who is a member of the Politburo and the highest leader of the country, listen to our opinions patiently and modestly, but you are just a member of the Central Committee and do not take us seriously at all. What a thing!

It has to be said that Tukhachevsky is really bad at political level. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is an idiot in this regard. Not to mention that he is not qualified than Li Xiaofeng or Voroshilov. What's worse is that he is too confident in his military literacy. He thinks he is a genius and a great military strategist, and is a top student.

Since he is a top student, why do you have to listen to a group of bad students? This mentality makes Tukhachevsky always deal with the relationship between superiors and subordinates in a way that teachers treat students and fathers treat their sons, and the result is naturally very bad.

Li Xiaofeng is different. He never thinks he is a genius. If he hadn't been to the heaven by chance and had a temporary organization, even if he traveled through time, he would be just a scumbag. So he never thought he was much smarter than others. The more professional he was, the more "humility" he was, and his "humility" was undoubtedly very compatible with the tastes of the officers. They needed an audience like Li Xiaofeng.

In a sense, Li Xiaofeng actually plays the role of a close sister and a psychological counseling tutor. For many people who are depressed, sometimes a qualified audience can make them satisfied and happy.

For example, now, the senior officers of the Bryansk Front Army are very happy. They generally believe that a certain immortal is a good person and a good superior. If Tukhachevsky knew that he would do nothing and just be a human-shaped background wall, he would probably regret his love.

In short, after the summary of senior officers of the Bryansk Front Army, the main problem of the Red Army is that it is bloated and inefficient in structure, one-sidedly pursues the performance of main combat equipment but ignores the modernization of logistics and maintenance equipment. It is not refined enough in tactics, and one-sidedly emphasizes politics but ignores the personal emotions of officers and soldiers.

Anyway, there are a lot of problems in Zero Zero. Finally, Li Xiaofeng concluded: "These experiences and lessons are very valuable and are what the Red Army needs most now. I will report the problems that my comrades respond to to the Military Commission as soon as possible. Try to find a way to solve these problems as quickly as possible."

Speaking of this, Li Xiaofeng smiled and pulled the meeting back to the whole: "Now. Let's continue to talk about the next battle, Comrade Constantine. Let's talk about your tactical concept in detail!"

Rokosovsky realized that he was too excited just now and had deviated from the topic for a while. However, what moved him was that someone was not at all unhappy, nor did he criticize him for off-topicism. Instead, he continued to trust him and let him continue to express his opinions.

After the discussion just now, Rokosovsky found a feeling. He said: "Although our Bryansk Front Army has five armies, it looks comparable to the enemy, and it seems that completing the instructions of the Military Commission is not a big problem. But we must see that our troops who have arrived in the Bryansk area only have the 6th and 16th armies, and the other three armies are still marching in a tense state. It will take some time to arrive at the battlefield. In other words, in the past half month, we can only have less than two armies to be able to use the troops. It is still difficult to block the enemy and stabilize the front again."

This is the truth. The 21st Army closest to Bryansk is in Smolensk. The army has just completed the replenishment of troops, and a considerable number of heavy weapons (such as tanks) have not been in place. According to the General Equipment Department, Chelyabinsk is still in a tense production and will not be provided with enough tanks to the 21st Army in about late November.

In other words, although the 21st Army now has a mechanized army, it is actually a pure infantry army. Not only tanks, but the 21st Army also lacks anti-tank guns. Most of the artillery under the divisions and armies are howitzers or mortars. Cannons and professional anti-tank guns are very limited, and some troops can only use old anti-tank guns to make up the numbers.

Anyway, the combat effectiveness of the 21st Army is quite limited, and at most it can only be used as a light infantry. In addition to the 21st Army, the 20th Army is also in Borisov. Previously, the 20th Army quickly "reinforced" Minsk in accordance with the orders of the General Staff and was preparing to participate in the "Minsk Defense Battle". Of course, everyone knows that this is Tukhachevsky selling dog heads with a sheep's head. The real task of the 20th Army is to participate in the Minsk counterattack.

Unfortunately, as Rokosovsky was broken through, the "Minsk Defense Battle" was abandoned, and the 20th Army on the way could only temporarily turn around and turn to Bryansk. What is good news is that the army has completed the supplementary work, and each army is full of pits and valleys. Although most of the mechanized armies under its command use T-26 and BT-5 to charge numbers, but having tanks is better than not, right?

The 12th Army was the one who could really help Li Xiaofeng, which suffered relatively small losses in previous battles. Most of the officers and soldiers had combat experience, and as the main force in the defense of Minsk, the Army had obtained sufficient equipment to supplement it. Although there were still some vacancies in the organization (each division generally had only about 10,000 people), its combat effectiveness was still excellent.

The only problem is that the army is still in Stolbuchi, which is outside Minsk, and is even further away from Minsk. Moreover, some of the army's troops are still fighting with the German army, so it will take time to withdraw from the battle.

In short, the situation of the Bryansk Front Army is still very dangerous. For the time being, we can only rely on the 6th, 16th Army and the somewhat unsatisfactory 21st Army to fight the German army. This battle is really difficult to fight.

"This is the case, there are many unfavorable factors, but even so, I think it is possible to block the enemy in Bryansk." Rokosovsky changed his tone and said confidently: "The enemy was very tired after a period of continuous combat, and continued to break through to our territory. Their supply problem will be even more serious. What's more, winter is coming, and our climate is enough for the delicate Germans to drink a pot!"

The officers burst into laughter, and Rokosovsky's joke dispelled some dark clouds that were densely covered in the hearts of everyone. But soon Rokosovsky turned his face and continued: "In addition, through big steps, we have won enough time to build a defense line. I believe that the enemy's first and second tank clusters will take a certain amount of time to cross Belarus and enter Russia. However, this does not mean that we can rest assured. I believe that everyone has seen the speed of the enemy's previous rushing speed. If they let them attack, there is probably only a dead end!"

Rokosovsky understood the meaning very clearly. We must try our best to create trouble on the German route and make the Germans slow down. Li Xiaofeng asked: "Hasn't some blocking troops been reserved before? They are not enough?"

Rokosovsky replied with certainty: "That is certainly not enough. The enemy does not lack the determination to advance straight, and they should also know that if the battle cannot be ended before the cold winter comes, it will be difficult for them to defend the existing front. I judged that they would assault in Moscow as much as possible, and ordinary small blocking troops would either crush them directly or ignore them. The army alone would not be able to completely hold the enemy back!"

"What do you want to do?"

"The Air Force can do a lot," Rokosovsky replied. "I hope that the Front can deploy enough air force to attack the enemy, not only to attack the troops gathered and advanced, but also to attack the traffic lines and various material distribution centers. According to my judgment, as the enemy continues to deepen, they will get less and less air cover!"

Rokosovsky's judgment was correct. After occupying Kalinkovic and advancing to Gomel's front line, Guderian received very little air support. On the contrary, he had to accept greetings from the Red Air Force again and again every day. More tanks and other vehicles were destroyed day by day. Many times, he could only order the troops to scatter. Because once they assembled, they would be hit by the Red Army. Even Guderian began to consider whether to rest during the day and march at night.

He complained to Bok more than once: "Since the sunrise, the Bolshevik fighter jets, bombers and attack aircraft were constantly raging on my head, while our air force was nowhere to be seen. I need air cover, otherwise, before I could rush to Moscow, my tanks and cars would be destroyed by the Russians!"

The Luftwaffe was actually quite wronged, because the reason was very simple. They also encountered the problem of short legs. Neither the b-109 nor the -190 could penetrate into Russia. Even if they barely flew over, there was little fuel left and they could not stay for a few minutes.

"Can't you repair the field airport as soon as possible?" Guderian was furious.

But yes, but the Red Army would not allow the Germans to repair field airports so easily. From Kalinkovic to Bryansk, they are all key sweeping areas of the Red Air Force. It is not easy to repair airports under the air bombing. What's more, Rokosovsky left many regular "guerrillas" playing hide-and-seek with the Germans.

In short, it is absolutely delusional to get enough air support in a short period of time, and it is time for the German armored forces to taste the taste of no air cover.

When the German army was tortured by the Red Air Force and was about to die, Rokosovsky did not relax and nervously set up defenses in Bryansk. In his statement, "The air force can only delay the enemy, but cannot truly block the enemy. If you want to defend Bryansk, the army must hurry up and repair the fortifications every second.

In this regard, Li Xiaofeng gave him a lot of help. He arranged a large number of construction machinery to support construction. The combined trench diggers, tractors and load-loading cars were enough to carry out earthwork operations around Bryansk day and night. It is said that the digging of earthwork is enough to fill the Kiev reservoir.

At the end of October, after a difficult march, Guderian's troops finally crossed the Russian border, which was worthy of great writing for Hitler. Because it meant that "the great German army had embarked on the final journey of destroying the Bolsheviks", Goebbels also advocated something: "Slay Moscow and go home for Christmas."

But only Guderian, who had truly embarked on Russian land, knew how difficult this journey was, and the future path was probably not that easy to walk. He wrote in his diary: "The Russians' resistance was very fierce, and a large number of guerrillas were around our army, and if they were negligent, they would die. Especially the enemy's snipers, their activities were very rampant, and I had to draw some troops to encircle them. However, compared with these native Russian natives, my young man was not familiar with the terrain and was always twice the result with half the effort."

Not only the guerrillas and snipers gave Guderian a headache. The lower and lower temperatures also made him worried: "The weather is getting colder and colder, and most of the soldiers are wearing autumn clothes. These thin clothes cannot resist the cold wind in Russia at all. Many troops have already started to catch a cold, which is really not a good sign!"

What made Guderian the most headache was the supply problem. The transportation line was pinned to death by the Red Air Force. Whether it was fuel, ammunition, or food, it was basically insufficient. Some troops were out of stock. Even if Guderian ordered the troops to go to the Russians to find a solution, it was not very meaningful. When the Red Army retreated, it took away all the food that could be taken away. All the things that could not be taken away were burned on the spot. The German army could only go to rural Russia to rob, and such behavior was not very meaningful to create more guerrillas and resisters.

Finally, Guderian concluded worriedly: "The enemy retreated in a planned manner and cleared the country. This is no different from the Russian tactics in 1812. Will our destiny be better than Napoleon? To be honest, I don't know..."

At the same time, the Red Army was full of morale. Rokosovsky personally went to train and prepare for the various troops. Li Xiaofeng continued to provide sufficient supplies. The Red Army soldiers could not wait to compete with the Germans.

On October 29, Guderian's armored cluster arrived in Viconic with the first snow of this winter. At this time, Bryansk was already far away. According to Hitler, "The Russians are about to collapse, and it is only a matter of time before Germany wins!"

But time was very unfavorable to the German army. On the day he arrived in Viconic, half of Guderian's tanks were buried, part of which was exhausted, and the other part was frozen. He once again sent a telegram to Bock, strongly demanding that he be provided with sufficient fuel, food and winter clothing as soon as possible, otherwise his troops would be frozen into popsicles!

Bok really had no choice, because it was too difficult to maintain the supply line. Not to mention Guderian's side, even attacking Minsk's third tank cluster, the fuel and ammunition were intermittent, so Bok could only kick the ball upwards.

At this time, what is the situation in Germany? In one word, it means singing and dancing to bring peace. The general public does not feel like living in a war era and lives a happy and peaceful life.

This is not a joke. Germany actually mobilized wars very late in World War II. It only started to fully mobilize in 1943. Previously, a large amount of materials and resources were used to protect the lives of civilians, that is, a large amount of war resources were wasted.

On the other hand, the Soviet Union mobilized comprehensively early, and the daily lives of the people were lowered to the minimum standards, and all factories and resources were used to ensure that they won the war.

Some comrades may want to say that Hitler was frivolous, right? In fact, it was not crazy at all. The important reason why the Nazis could gain a foothold in Germany was that a large number of social resources were tilted towards the field of people's livelihood. Before 1943, the German people (excluding Jews) lived quite well. Compared with the Weimar Republic period, it was paradise. Naturally, the Nazi support rate was so high.

What's more, Hitler himself probably never wanted to fight a full-scale world war. His trick was based on short-term quick wins, which was to defeat his opponents at the fastest speed, and then plunder resources from his opponents to fill in domestic pits.

Who would have thought that the Soviet Union was neither Poland nor France, and he was beaten to the point of being blue and swollen and did not surrender. In addition, with the assistance from the United States in history, it turned into a black hole that consumed Germany... (To be continued)
