"But I feel that we must first deploy the German front-line positions, conduct sufficient reconnaissance and observation, and discover its intentions."

"At the same time, we also need ground troops and air forces to cooperate with our raids so that we can quickly attack the Germans and successfully catch them off guard!"

"Especially the German "Northern" army group you just mentioned, we need to know more about its dynamics and whereabouts!"

"It is one of the three major army groups that the German army invaded our land. According to our investigation, although the German army's northern group does not have as many troops as the original 1.6 million, it still has more than 900,000 troops. Recently, Hitler has re-equipped weapons and equipment!"

"So this opponent must not be taken lightly! Moreover, the current commander-in-chief of the Northern Army has been handed over to Walter Model. As for the former commander Marshal von Qusiral, he has been removed from his post!"

Zhukov added.

"It's Walter Model again! Hasn't he taken over the Second Army Group and the Ninth Army Group?"

"Why is even the Northern Army Group accepted it now? It seems that Hitler attaches great importance to him!"

Upon hearing this, Marshal Rokosovsky said in surprise.

"Yes! And according to the intelligence we have, the current German Northern Army Group has troops including the 16th Army commanded by Ernst Busch, the 2nd Army commanded by von Qusirel, the 10th Army, the 28th Army, the 18th Army; the 1st Army, the 26th Army, the 38th Army, the 4th Armored Corps commanded by Erich Hopner, the 41st Motorized Army, the 56th Motorized Army, and the 1st Air Brigade for air support!"

"But these are all superficial intelligence and information displays!"

"As for whether there will be any additional troops and new weapons and equipment in the future, it is unknown!"

Zhukov continued.

"Where is the Southern Army led by Manstein and the German Central Army Group?"

"These two armies were rectified by Hitler into German armies, because the 6th Army and the 10 infantry divisions under its command, 1 armored division, and 8 infantry divisions under the 1st Armored Army, 3 armored divisions, 1 armored infantry divisions, as well as the 12 infantry divisions under the 8th Army, 5 armored divisions, 8 infantry divisions, and 5 armored divisions. After experiencing the Battle of Stalingrad, they were all severely damaged by us!"

"The current German Southern Army Group was reorganized based on the German Kempf Army-level cluster, and some veterans were drawn from the remaining troops of the German 1st Armored Army, the 69th Mountain Army, the 57th Armored Army, the 3rd Armored Army, the 64th Armored Army, the 60th Armored Army and the 52nd Army, etc., to add some veterans to the remaining troops!"

"As for the commander-in-chief of the Army, Walter von Reichenau and Frederick Paulus, have surrendered to us; and Carl Holid and Maximilian Anglis, as well as Maximilian Fretelpiko and Hermann Barke, it seems that Hitler did not give them the commander of the Army Group, but used it as a backup!"

"As for the current superficial intelligence of the German Central Army Group, they have drawn a group of elite troops from the 3rd Armored Cluster, the 5th Army, the 6th Army; the 39th Motorized Army, the 57th Motorized Army, the 4th Army, the 9th Army and other remnants of the German Army to lead the new recruits to reorganize!"

"The details still require our intelligence agencies to continue to conduct in-depth investigations! But the only thing we can be sure of now is that the commander of the German Army Group commander after the merger of the Southern Army Group and the German Central Army Group is Manstein!"

"And recently Hitler has dispatched a lot of new weapons and equipment to provide supplies to Manstein's troops!"

"At the same time, they are also building large-scale defensive positions, and the direction of these defensive positions is not coming to us, but extending to the rear of their Germany!"

"They seem to be making plans to defend our troops and have the potential to attack Germany's mainland!"

Zhukov told all the situation and information he knew.

Marshal Rokosovsky was listening quietly and did not speak much, especially after listening, he frowned even deeper and thought.

Judging from the superficial forces, the Soviet army had a greater force than the German army, but the thing that bothered him and Zhukov the most was that they didn't know how many new weapons and equipment the German army had stored on the Eastern Front this time to fight against them.

"What do you think? Marshal Rokosovsky!"
