"Comrade Joseph, Southern Front Army have already begun to rebuild. However, several other front armies have also suffered heavy losses. Even if they persist until winter, they will not have many troops left. I am afraid we have to start rebuilding now. In this way, when next spring comes, we will complete the preparations and have enough troops to launch a counterattack against the Germany people!" Marshal Voroshilov suggested.
Joseph nodded after careful consideration. After sufficient mobilization, Buru has no shortage of troops. Of course, the newly formed troops may be lacking in weapons, equipment and training. However, if you can get a winter's respite, these disadvantages can be made up for. By then, they will have enough strength to continue fighting against the Germany people.
"Do you have any specific plans?" Joseph asked.
"Comrade Joseph, this is our specific plan!" General Shaposhnikov handed a reorganization plan to Joseph.
Joseph Read it carefully. In this reorganization plan, several fronts of the Russian army will be strengthened.
Western Front, in addition to the reorganization of several existing armies, 19, 20, 21, 22, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 39, 43, 49th, 50th, 61st and 68th Army, 1st Assault Army Corps, 1st Guards Army 0, 11th Army, 4th Tank Army Corps, 4th Air Army Corps. In this case, Western Front will become a huge front with 24 infantry armies, two tank armies, and two air force armies. The entire front army will have nearly three million troops.
There is no doubt that this will become the army group with the strongest strength and strength among the several front armies of the Russian army.
Of course, as a force that competes head-on with German military, it cannot be strengthened too much. Especially after German military and Army Group B are reinforced by the troops of the slave country, their military strength will be further improved. In this case, the Russian army will need to add more troops to resist the Germany people's attack.
"Western Front's establishment, is it too big?" Joseph asked.
"Comrade Joseph, the German Army Group B has millions of troops. In addition, according to the reliable information we have received, millions of Polish troops and 200,000 Belarusian troops are already heading to the front line. By then, the total strength of this Army Group will exceed more than two hundred Ten thousand people. Although the combat effectiveness of the Poles and Belarusians is certainly not comparable to that of the Germans, the combat effectiveness of our newly formed troops has also declined. Therefore, we have to add more troops as much as possible to guard against the Germans."
Joseph When I think about it, this is indeed the truth. If the strength of the Russian army is comparable to that of German military, then they are definitely no match for German military. The combat effectiveness of the army of Germany's slave country cannot be underestimated. This can be seen from the performance of Ukraine people on the Ukraine battlefield. Therefore, it is very necessary for the Russian army to maintain its advantage in strength as much as possible.
"Okay, Western Front will be reorganized according to this organization! However, General Timoshenko is no longer suitable to serve as the commander of the front army. His performance in this war made me very disappointed!" Joseph said.
Although, West will be defeated, the main reason is that German military is too powerful. But the performance of General Timoshenko is indeed not very good. What's more, if Western Front's current strength exceeds three million, this will make Joseph unable to rest assured. He must let his confidants control this army. In this case, he will feel relieved.
Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov were both speechless. Indeed, with such a large force involved, only Joseph can decide on the commander of this force.
Joseph After thinking about it, he seemed to have no suitable candidate. However, he must have this force in his hands. Otherwise, he would never be at ease.
"Comrade Voroshilov, let you be the commander of General West!" Joseph said.
Voroshilov was stunned, he was Politburo member, People's Commissar of Defense of Buru! If he serves as the commander of the front line army, these positions may have to be given up. What's more, going to the front line to fight the Germany people is undoubtedly very dangerous. Maybe if they are defeated by the Germany people, everything will be over.
However, now that Joseph has spoken, can he refuse? That's obviously impossible.
"Yes, Comrade Joseph!" Marshal Voroshilov immediately figured it out. It can be said that everything about him was given by Joseph. If he opposes Joseph, then Joseph can take everything away from him at any time.
Joseph nodded with satisfaction. Voroshilov's loyalty made him very satisfied.
Southwestern Front, in addition to rebuilding the disabled 5th, 6th, 13th and 26th Army Corps, the 37th, 38th, 40th and 57th Army Corps, and 8th Air Army Corps will be assigned to Southwestern Front. In this case, Southwestern Front will have an army of millions. Although Army Group C is no less than German military, if you include Ukrainian army who cooperates with Army Group C in combat, the Russian army is still at a disadvantage. However, Southwestern Front is mainly assisting Western Front in fighting. If the situation is unfavorable, he can retreat to Moscow. These troops are enough in front of us.
Northwestern Front Army, in addition to the existing three armies that will be replenished and rebuilt, they will also be incorporated into the 3rd Assault Army, 4th Army, 34th Infantry Army, 48th, 53rd Army, and 1st Tank Army Corps. In this case, Northwestern Front Army will have 8 infantry armies and 1 tank army, with a strength of more than 1.5 million, which is enough to compete with German military's A group. Apart from anything else, there is no problem at all when dragging Army Group A from German military to Ulyanovsk. In that case, there is no need to worry about Army Group A of German military going south to cooperate with Army Group B and Army Group C Encirclement Offensive Moscow.
Joseph nodded after reading the grouping plan. After the reorganization, the strength of several fronts will be strengthened. This will help them resist German offensive. If it goes well, you can even launch a counterattack.
"Very good, just follow your plan! I hope that our army can be ready to launch a counterattack starting next spring!" Joseph said.
"Yes, Comrade Joseph." Both Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov replied.
