After an on-site inspection, Zhukov had more recognition of Rokossovsky's combat plan. When several people returned to the 48th Group Army headquarters, he called Sokov in front of him.
"Misha, I want to ask you." Zhukov asked expressionlessly: "How do we send a behemoth like a tank to the other side of the swamp?"
"This is easy to do." Sokov explained: "We can ask engineers to drive wooden piles in the swamp, and then set up logs on the wooden piles, and the tank can drive through the logs to the other side of the swamp."
"What about the infantry?" Zhukov then asked: "I just took a look and found that it is easy for people to get trapped in some areas. I am worried that when the troops attack, some soldiers will be swallowed by the swamp."
"Comrade Marshal, I have also considered this." Sokov took the special straw sandals from the table nearby and said to Zhukov: "These are galoshes made by the soldiers themselves, also known as swamp sleds. On the outside of the boots Wearing these wide-looking overshoes can prevent you from getting stuck in the mire to the greatest extent after entering the swamp.”
"Also," Sokov said proactively before Zhukov could ask again: "I plan to ask the soldiers to prepare some more door panels or rafts to transport our machine guns, mortars and small-caliber artillery..."
After hearing this, Rokossovsky showed a knowing smile on his face. He turned to Zhukov and said: "Comrade Marshal, although Misha has only been in office for one day, he has considered all the issues that should be considered."
"Yes, Misha has been very thoughtful." After agreeing with Rokossovsky's opinion, Zhukov said with a smile: "Koschka, you have decided to appoint Misha as the commander of the 48th Army this time. I think you did the right thing."
After Zhukov and Rokossovsky finished lunch at the headquarters, they praised Sokov a few more words before leaving the 48th Group Army headquarters in a car.
Seeing Zhukov and Rokossovsky leaving, Pugachev raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said with relief: "Thank God, they finally left. You know, even if Marshal Zhukov doesn't speak, he just goes there Just one stop can be a deterrent to people.”
"Comrades, please return to the war room." Sokov knew that the combat plan he proposed, regardless of whether it was approved by Rokossovsky, was also approved by Zhukov today. Next, he had to carry out various preparations intensively, and then called everyone back to the headquarters for a meeting: "I think we need to study what work should be done next."
Besides, after Zhukov and Rokossovsky left Sokov's defense area, Rokossovsky tentatively asked Zhukov: "Comrade Marshal, where do you plan to go next?"
Zhukov, who was closing his eyes to rest, opened his eyes after hearing Rokossovsky's question and said: "I originally wanted to go to the First Ukrainian Front to meet Marshal Konev, but now it seems that it is not necessary. I You need to fly back to Moscow immediately, give your battle plan to Antonov, and discuss with him how to convince the Supreme Commander himself."
Hearing that Zhukov was going to the airport, Rokossovsky immediately told the driver: "Turn around and go to the airport."
The day after sending Zhukov away, Rokossovsky received a call from Zhukov from Moscow. The content of the marshal's phone call was simple: "Koschka, immediately hand over the work in your hand to Malinin and rush to Moscow."
When Rokossovsky heard that Zhukov asked him to go to Moscow, he guessed that it was probably related to his own battle plan, so he asked tentatively: "Comrade Marshal, is it related to that plan?"
"That's right." Zhukov said affirmatively: "This combat plan will be discussed at the meeting of the Supreme Command tomorrow. As the planner of the plan, you should appear at the scene and explain the plan to everyone in person."
"Okay, Comrade Marshal." He confirmed that he went to Moscow this time to lobby the people at the Supreme Command and convince them to support his own battle plan: "I will take a flight to Moscow in half an hour."
"I will send someone to wait for you at the airport." After Zhukov said that, he hung up the phone.
"Comrade Chief of Staff," Rokossovsky put down the phone, called Malinin in front of him, and said to him: "I just received a call from Marshal Zhukov. He asked me to rush to Moscow immediately. During my absence, , you will be responsible for the daily affairs in the army. If you can't handle it, call me again."
"Comrade Commander," Malinin heard that Rokossovsky was going to rush to Moscow immediately, and asked nervously: "Is it related to our combat plan?"
"Yes," Rokossovsky nodded and said in a positive tone: "The combat plan will be discussed at the meeting of the Supreme Command tomorrow, and I need to rush to the scene to explain it." After a field visit Afterwards, Zhukov had more recognition of Rokossovsky's combat plan. When several people returned to the 48th Group Army headquarters, he called Sokov in front of him.
"Misha, I want to ask you." Zhukov asked expressionlessly: "How do we send a behemoth like a tank to the other side of the swamp?"

When Rokossovsky heard that Zhukov asked him to go to Moscow, he guessed that it was probably related to his own battle plan, so he asked tentatively: "Comrade Marshal, is it related to that plan?"
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"That's right." Zhukov said affirmatively: "This combat plan will be discussed at the meeting of the Supreme Command tomorrow. As the planner of the plan, you should appear at the scene and explain the plan to everyone in person."
"Okay, Comrade Marshal." He confirmed that he went to Moscow this time to lobby the people at the Supreme Command and convince them to support his own battle plan: "I will take a flight to Moscow in half an hour."
