After Stalin launched a national mobilization of troops, from December 1, 1941 to May 1, 1942, the Soviet army's troops had increased from more than 310 divisions and almost 150 brigades to nearly 9 million troops, and they were successively expanded to 11 million troops, and they were more than 420 divisions and 150 brigades, with nearly 1,000 tanks, nearly 2,000 aircraft, about 1,600 multiple rocket launchers, almost 400,000 vehicles, more than 1,000 artillery, and more than one million horses. However, the Soviet army could have more than tens of millions of troops at that time, including female soldiers.

Therefore, after the mobilization, the total Soviet army was able to obtain more than 6 million troops from the German army, that is, more than 310 divisions.

However, in terms of the number of aircraft and tanks, the Soviet army at that time was less than that of the German army.

However, in the fierce battle, the Soviet army lost almost 6 million people, of which the casualties accounted for almost 3.6 million. There were countless officers and soldiers captured, disappeared by the German army, and fled.

To this end, Stalin and other senior Soviet leaders immediately promoted the Soviet army's main field forces, the Supreme Commander reserves and the army organized into large infantry regiments, including those non-combat forces. A total of 12 famous front armies during World War II, 10 military regions, 4 fleets, almost 70 armies mixed with various arms, 2 air defense armies, and 3 battle clusters.

These troops were fully deployed on the long front from the Arctic to the Black Sea, fighting against the German troops that invaded the local area.

The most powerful troops among these troops are the Soviet field combat troops and the reorganized troops of the Supreme Command.

In 1943, due to the emergence of Chen Yanlong, the Soviet army was defeated and defeated one after another. For this reason, the top leaders such as Stalin doubled the Soviet tank troops and mechanized troops. For example, the number of tanks changed from 11 tank troops, 88 tank brigades, and 1 motorized infantry brigade in May 1942 to 22 tank troops, 176 tank brigades, and 1 motorized infantry brigade. However, during this period, the Soviet army received strong support from Roosevelt.

Otherwise, the Soviet army would not be able to obtain so many mechanized troops and tanks, so the tanks and armored troops used by the Soviet army now are mixed with a large number of US tank types and armored vehicles.

The Soviet aviation army also changed from two aviation troops and 16 aviation clusters in May 1942 to four aviation troops and 32 aviation clusters. However, many of the pilots here were rookies, as well as allies such as the British and American forces dispatched to mixed them, and they were also amateur pilots for some flight enthusiasts.

Because Britain, the United States and other countries now also need pilots to fight against the Japanese and German troops, they cannot draw a large number of pilots with rich flight experience and combat experience to the Soviet army for support.

Moreover, with Stalin's character, it would not allow other countries to mix a large number of pilots and combat troops into their own army, and even if their common combat target was the German army, they would not agree casually.

Moreover, the military industrial zone east of the Soviet Ural Mountains was also accelerated after reconstruction, and the production of tanks, aircraft, thousands of artillery pieces, and countless other weapons and equipment were continuously accelerated.

When these weapons and equipment leave the production line, they will be transported to the front line and distributed to the officers and soldiers of various Soviet troops, and then they will be used in battle.

One of the greatest contributions to the Soviet tank troops and mechanized troops such as armored troops was Yakov Nikola, the tank ice general who served as the minister of the Red Army's automobile and armored tank departments.

It was his appearance that increased the Soviet army from zero to nothing, from the first four wartime tank troops to almost 30 tank troops in December 1942; and now at the end of November 1943, the Soviet tank troops have increased by three to four times.

Of course, the People's Committee of the National Defense of the Soviet Army (NKO) is responsible for supervision and formation, as well as the deployment of various new soldiers and troops, and has also made great contributions.

Of course, these decisions were more or less obtained by the Soviet National Defense Committee (GKO), which refers to the highest decision-making body of the Soviet armed forces and national defense system. The Supreme Command of the Soviet Army is only the command body of the military organization of the National Defense Committee.

Of course, Comrade Stalin himself was the highest decision-making man. If he did not obtain his secret consent or approval, he would probably not be allowed to do anything big.

Moreover, in the original history, at 9:30 on January 12, 1943, the Soviet army concentrated a large number of artillery and mortars to carry out fierce artillery fire covering the German positions in the Schlüsselburg area for almost three hours. The German army that was still besieging Leningrad was attacked from the south and north by the Soviet 61st Army and the 2nd Assault Army. After about a week of fierce fighting, the Soviet Leningrad Front and Volkhov Army successfully met in the Workers' Villages No. 1 and No. 5, thus breaking through the 17-month siege of Leningrad.

In January 1944, the Supreme Soviet Command decided to re-enter the Leningrad Front commanded by General Govorov, the Volkhov Front commanded by General Meletskov, and the Second Baltic Front commanded by General Popov, and the war in the later stage of the Leningrad Battle, preparing to uproot the remaining Germans there to annihilate them all.

This was also the first of Stalin's famous "Ten Strikes", but the current direction of the battle was to become in 1943, when Stalin had already put the Leningrad Front under General Govorov, the Volkhov Front under General Meletskov, and the Second Baltic Front under General Popov, as well as other main forces, including the reinforcement aircraft carrier fleet borrowed from the British and American Allies into this Leningrad Battle.

Stalin and Zhukov were originally confident about such a large-scale military battle; but now they were encountered a sudden blizzard, unexpectedly interspersed and sneak attacks by German special forces, and a series of sudden attacks by other small groups of troops.

Zhukov was always irritated and observed the high-definition Leningrad combat map hanging on the wall.

After Zhukov finished muttering to himself, Rokosovsky, who had not spoken much next to him, was also pondering quietly.

But they both looked out of the glass window from time to time and stared at the increasingly crazy and cold snowstorm outside.

"This is the first time Comrade Stalin's "Ten Strikes". Such an important battle was handed over to me, but how should I face those increasingly cunning and unpredictable German troops?"
