When Himmler met Peter Ovschnette and Heinrich Haller, the Soviet base also drew several bomber groups from the Reserve Air Force to prepare to assist the front-line bomber groups to bomb the German troops outside Leningrad day and night.

For a moment, the entire land covered by night not only kept rising with pungent smoke, but also the entire battlefield was bombed with bomb craters of varying depths and small. The lush and dense forests before the war were bombed by bombers from both Germany and the Soviet Union in an instant, and they were instantly bombarded with scorched earth and ruins.

While the Soviet army dispatched a large number of bombers to bomb, the Soviet army also dispatched 8 infantry divisions, 10 infantry brigades and 5 tank brigades to fight desperately with the German troops.

In this battle, the Soviet army still planned to fight such a large army with the German army until the end of the battle.

In short, we must successfully liberate Leningrad and completely drive the German army out of Leningrad.

The Soviet army was facing head-on by the 18th Army and Finnish Army of Model's Northern Army Group, as well as a large number of armed SS and vasses.

The battle started in the northwest of Leningrad and the Karelia Isthmus.

At the beginning of this fierce battle, the remnants of the Soviet army left behind in Leningrad and the troops organized by people also launched a counterattack war at the same time, preparing for a breakthrough war.

Although the German army initially established a lot of strong fortifications to defend here, the troops were sufficient and powerful, and they also had complete firepower equipment.

Many institutions were even set up in the forests and swamp areas south of Tiniavino to kill many Soviet officers and soldiers.

However, these attacking Soviet troops were as fierce as those Japanese troops who were preparing to fight to the end. After dying batches of suicide squads and commandos, they still rushed to the German fortifications without any chance to attack.

"In the current battle, we have lost 2 infantry divisions, 5 artillery brigades, 3 tank brigades and 5 independent tank battalions, 2 heavy artillery battalions and 5 mortar battalions, and the casualties have exceeded 20,000!"

"I requested the marshal to issue the latest instructions, and now the German army's resistance and counterattack are becoming more and more tenacious!"

When the Leningrad battle fell into a fierce battle, Meletskov, commander of the Volkhov Front, immediately reported to Zhukov, who personally directed the Leningrad battle.

After hearing this, Zhukov did not answer immediately, but turned his eyes to the rumbling sound of cannons in the distance, and the rolling smoke filled the colder and darker night and Leningrad.

Looking at the fierce battle between the officers and soldiers of Germany and the Soviet Union who were becoming more and more braver, Zhukov fell into silence and quickly thought about countermeasures in his brain.

At this time, the situation of the Volkhov Front was probably the 2nd, 8th, 4th, 54th, 52nd and 19th Army, as well as the 14th Army, assisted the Leningrad Front in a comprehensive attack on the German army from Lake Ilmen to Lake Ladoga.

"How is the situation of the 67th Army commanded by General Dukhanov? How many troops do they have left?"

Zhukov was silent for a while before slowly looking up at the commander Meletskov and asked.

"Now there are 2 and a half-infantry divisions, 3 ski infantry brigades, 3 independent battalions, 3 artillery brigades, and 3 mortar regiments; 4 attack anti-tank artillery regiments, 8 division-owned artillery companies and reserve infantry brigades, as well as 1,200 artillery and mortars, 600 M-30 rocket launchers, and each infantry master has a force of more than 10,000."

Commander Meletskov thought for a while and said.

"I plan to fight with the 59th Army, the most powerful combat power under your command, with the 67th Army, to complete the siege and annihilate the Novgorod region, including capturing the city of Luga, and leaving to Krabkitzen and the Little Udorkush, blocking the German army's main retreat in Pskov, and interspersing and encircling the German army from there!"

Zhukov said his plan.

"But there are only two armies that seem to have combat effectiveness and military strength, not as many as the German army!"

"Can these two armies be given more troops to assist in the war?"

Commander Meletskov said the difficulties he had taken into account.

"I can do this, I won't just let these two armies fight alone!"

By the way, did the Leningrad Movement Command, with those guerrillas, and attack the German army in the rear, occupy some of their important strongholds, seize or stick to those railway hubs, as well as some important ferries, bridge settlements, etc.?"

Zhukov continued to ask.

"They are doing all these things, and they have also figured out the German defense system, road conditions and minefield layout characteristics. Although Model is changing these defense points and defense systems, we can still grasp most of the situations!"

"Of course these credits were created by our Leningrad Movement Command and the guerrillas. The intelligence they obtained would be useful for us to fight back against the German army now and drive them out of Leningrad!"

Commander Meletskov will answer.

"Well! I'll look at the information they gave first. You can dispatch the 59th Army and the 67th Army to prepare for the battle. I will soon dispatch troops and generals to give you greater military support!"

Zhukov promised.

"Okay! I'll make arrangements right now!"

Commander Meletskov also agreed readily.

Then the two of them separated, and Zhukov quickly browsed the information on the German defense system that Chef Meletskov gave him before leaving.
