The 238 mechanization division was ordered to advance to Smolensk, but they were temporarily stationed here, of course for a reason.

When he heard the sound, rokosovsky knew why, because he saw timoshingo.

Timoshenko has a lot of white hair on his head. He is only one year older than rokosovsky. As the old head of rokosovsky, he bears more pressure.

After all, Pavlov was shot by Stalin's order, and the top of the Black Sea Fleet committed suicide after the defeat. Although timoshingo was a popular man in front of Stalin, he also knew that Stalin would not be friendly once he lost the war. You can imagine the pressure he is under now.

Since returning from Moscow, timoshingo has not returned to Smolensk. He is not afraid of being surrounded, but because for him, the most important task is not to command the battle on the front line, but to mobilize reinforcements at the back for overall planning.

Therefore, he set up his headquarters in casna, and after the arrival of the 238 mechanized division, he personally came to the troops here, inspected the troops, gave advice, and observed the nearby terrain and route.

He should be prepared. In case of failure in Smolensk, how can he save his troops and continue to set up a defense line in the rear. With the continuous increase of German troops in Smolensk, he is not optimistic about the prospect of Smolensk.

Pavlov was shot, of course, because he failed, but also because he failed too quickly and lost all the army. If he failed again after a period of time, and although he failed, he could withdraw the army, Stalin would not be so angry.

The surrounding terrain is dominated by swamps, which makes Timothy feel at ease. When assigning tasks to 238 division here, someone came to recruit this team, which makes Timothy Gordon angry. These troops are all he has worked hard to come, but he can't afford to take advantage of others!

When he came out and looked at the man who jumped out of the car, his serious face showed a kind expression.

"Marshal timoshin, nice to meet you." Rokosovsky is also a joy.

At the beginning, he was almost shot, but he was saved by Timoshenko. Therefore, rokosovsky certainly respected and loved Timoshenko, and Timoshenko also liked his experienced veteran, which was one of the few people who came from the civil war.

"Rokosovsky, it's you." Timoshin said, "what are you doing here?"

"I have the order of Comrade Stalin to take charge of the defense of this vacuum area." Rokosovsky said and handed the order to Timoshenko.

All the troops have been transferred to Smolensk, and the rear is quite empty, which is also Timoshenko's concern. Now, looking at rokosovsky's order, Timoshenko is also happy. If he defends the rear for himself, he will be much more relieved.

"Well, you can tell me if you have any difficulties." Tiemuxinge said.

To the old leader, rokosovsky was also impolite: "I am all the defeated soldiers collected along the way. Now I am only more than 1000. I am extremely short of troops. Moscow has only given me this power, but I am not as lucky as Lukin."

Lukin was lucky enough to meet a lot of rout soldiers, but rokosovsky was different. The reason is very simple. Since Moscow issued the order not to retreat one step, those who left the troops without authorization were deserters. If they were caught, they could be shot directly. In this case, of course, there were few rout soldiers.

Now we have only collected more than 1000 people. When we meet the German tank forces, they will be defeated at the slightest contact. They are really unable to fight a hard battle.

Tiemuxinge frowned and looked at his old subordinates. He said, "OK, I'll give you the 238 mechanization division and give you a heavy grenade artillery regiment."

In an instant, rokosovsky's face was happy. He not only had this organic mechanized division, but also had an additional howitzer regiment. In this way, he could cover them with howitzers when encountering the German charge. He was really a generous old leader.

"Marshal, thank you very much." Rokosovsky saluted him.

"I have requirements for you, too." Timoshingo said, "you need to take your troops and guard here. Don't let the German encirclement surround you. At the same time, when necessary, you should insist on opening the opening to cover the retreat of Smolensk's troops."

"Yes, no problem." Rokosovsky said, "resolutely carry out your orders."

With the 238th division and the heavy howitzer regiment, together with these scattered soldiers collected, rokosovsky's cluster has finally become a model.

At the same time, he also knows that his task is very arduous.

According to the news from timoshingo, the Germans are making a detour to surround the troops in the whole Smolensk region, while the German troops in the north and South are encircled in yarcevo!

It was in this village that rokosovsky convened the first combat meeting of his group.

"The Germans will come from our north. As long as they occupy us, the gap will be surrounded. According to intelligence investigation, the 7th armored division of Germany will come." Said koroa.

Timoshenko just mentioned this situation when he was holding a meeting for them. Their task is to stop the German encirclement. Now rokosovsky came, Timoshenko threw the task to rokosovsky, and Timoshenko went back to deal with the emergency.

Koroya is not optimistic. Although they have nearly 80 tanks and are about to catch up with the establishment of the tank division, most of them are T-26 and BT-7, which belong to the obsolete goods in the inventory that others don't want. There are only seven Stalin tanks. If these Tanks fight with the German tank forces, they will be completely destroyed in a few minutes.

If it's a regular game, they don't have any chance of winning, but now it's rokosovsky. In this case, the tide washes the sand, and the gold should shine!

"I have a plan." Rokosovsky said: "in recent years, the Germans have always been victorious. They are used to Blitzkrieg and are not afraid of danger. We can use their psychology to fight an ambush and severely crack down on the arrogance of the Germans."

When rokosovsky said these words, others didn't believe it. After all, even koroya was ready to go to the battlefield and fight by himself. Even if he made a heroic sacrifice, he didn't want to win.

However, as rokosovsky kept expounding his plan, the eyes of the people around him slowly lit up.
