After hearing my answer, Zhukov stared at me for a long time, then slowly nodded, and said unhurriedly: "Well, Lida, since you are willing to stay, then stay!"

He turned his head to look at Katukov and asked with a smile on his face: "General Katukov, I heard that when the Germans counterattacked, you used a special combat method to beat the enemy's armored forces. The army was broken. Can you give me a brief introduction to your tactics? See if it can be promoted throughout the army."

Katukov smiled knowingly, and then said: "Yes, Comrade Marshal, when I learned that the German infantry was under the cover of tanks and launched an attack towards the back of our troops who were attacking the municipal building, no major troops were sent. Establish a line of defense on the only way to the enemy, but adopt the mode of group combat to meet the enemy."

Zhukov took out his pen and notebook, and said with great dignity: "Explain in detail."

"Each combat team of mine consists of five people, consisting of snipers, machine gunners and anti-tank fighters." Seeing Zhukov preparing to record, Katukov deliberately slowed down his speech: "For enemy infantry, just use Machine guns were fired; tanks were dealt with with 40 rocket launchers; and the responsibility of the sniper was to kill the commander of the German army. The enemy lost his unified command and fell into chaos. Judging from the results of the battle, the use of combat teams to block the German army in street fighting The tactics seem to be very successful."

"Very good. This tactic is very effective against large groups of enemies in the city." Zhukov put down the pen in his hand, looked up at Katukov and said with satisfaction: "According to the information I have, you In the battle, seven combat teams were lost, but more than two hundred German soldiers were killed and a dozen tanks were destroyed." At this point, he paused, raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, and then asked: "General Katukov, can you tell me how you came up with such tactics? You know, these tactics are not learned in our military academy."

Katukov turned his head to look at me and said modestly: "Comrade Marshal, to be honest, I can come up with such a tactic, and I also want to thank Lida. When I knew that her troops were in the street fighting in the city, they were able to minimize She has achieved the greatest results for her casualties, so she carefully studied the tactics she used to figure out such a set of tactics that can be used in urban warfare."

When I heard these words, I couldn’t help feeling stunned. I said that Katukov was really not easy. According to some wild tactics I used, I actually found the essence of urban warfare. You must know that at the end of the nineties, Grozny The Chechen rebels in Russia used this tactic to beat the overwhelming Russian army all over the floor, not to mention the loss of troops, and even the commanders were killed in the city.

After hearing what Katukov said, Zhukov turned his head and glanced, with a pensive expression on his face. After being silent for a while, he asked Katukov in a low voice: "Is there any quiet place here? I have one thing to ask Lida."

Although Katukov didn't know what Zhukov was about to talk to me, he still pointed his hand to a room with a hidden door next to him, and said, "Comrade Marshal, there is a room where priests pray. It is quieter."

Zhukov nodded, then stood up, waved his head at me, and said, "Lida, come with me."

I followed Zhukov into the priest's prayer room, and after closing the door, I cautiously asked: "Comrade Marshal, what are the important things you asked me to come here?"

Zhukov, who pulled a chair back and sat down, looked up at me and asked unexpectedly: "Lida, you went to Washington last year. It is said that you also participated in the formulation of their plan to open up the second battlefield. Is there such a thing? ?"

"Yes, Comrade Marshal, I did provide some offensive ideas to the senior commanders of the U.S. Army." I don't know why Zhukov brought up this incident suddenly, and hurriedly replied: "But..."

Before I could finish speaking, Zhukov raised his hand to stop what I was going to say later, and said to himself: "I have the authorization of the Supreme Commander himself, so how did you report to Comrade Stalin at that time? Report to me! "

When I think of the famous Normandy landing, it was actually first proposed by me, a Soviet general, and recognized by top military leaders in the United Kingdom and the United States. I felt like I was dreaming. Probably because this feeling has always existed, I still don't know whether my plan to give up Calais to Michelle and choose the landing point in Normandy was a real occurrence or a dream of mine.

Seeing that I hadn't spoken for a long time, Zhukov thought I hadn't heard clearly, so he raised his voice and asked again. Hearing a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone, I asked in a flustered manner: "Comrade Marshal, I don't know what you want to know?"

"When and where will the Allied forces open up the second battlefield?" Zhukov didn't go around with me, and asked the key questions straightforwardly: "In addition to these few questions, I also want to know that they really will Open up a second battlefield?"

I really never dreamed that at the most critical moment of the battle, Zhukov was not thinking about how to advance our front to the frontier as soon as possible, but caring about the second battlefield of the Allied forces. Although after I came back from the United States, except when I reported to Stalin, I mentioned the second battlefield, the rest of the time I kept silent about it, but since Zhukov specifically asked about it at this moment, I had to answer.

"Comrade Marshal, I think the second battlefield will definitely be opened this year." I organized a vocabulary in my mind, and after filtering out some things I could say, I replied: "As for the time of the attack, I guess I will choose summer. ."

"What about the location?" Zhukov heard this and couldn't wait to ask me: "Where will the Allied forces land?"

"The Allied forces chose Calais as the first landing site," I said evasively: "Later, when General Michel asked my opinion, I suggested that they choose Normandy as the landing site."

"Normandy?!" After hearing the place name, Zhukov quickly took out a map from his briefcase and unfolded it. With the help of indoor candlelight, he found the location of Normandy on it. After comparing the two positions of Calais and Normandy, he raised his head and asked puzzledly: "Lida, can you tell me why you would suggest that the Allied forces choose to land in Normandy?"

"It's very simple." To Zhukov's question, I easily answered: "The Allied forces want to cross the English Channel and seize a strategic landing field in northern France, creating conditions for opening up the second European battlefield and ultimately defeating fascist Germany. From the map, there are only two best landing sites-Calais and Normandy.

Calais is the closest to the UK, only 30 nautical miles, and close to the German mainland, it seems to be the best landing point. However, the Germans also took this into consideration, so their defensive force here is the strongest. Not only is the defender an elite force that has experienced many battles, but also has a complete defensive system. There is neither a large port nor an inland communication line nearby, which is not conducive to the deep development of the Allied forces after landing. If you really choose this area to land, you will repeat the mistakes of the Dieppe landing. "

After hearing what I said, Zhukov frowned and thought for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "Lida, what you said about the Dieppe landing means that the British army dispatched a commando to Dipueu, France in July 1942. Things?"

Fortunately, I knew a little bit about this period of history, so as soon as Zhukov finished speaking, I immediately added: "Yes, according to the information I learned when I was in Washington, the situation of the girl who sprinkled flowers on the Soviet-German battlefield was extremely severe. , The German army’s vanguard has arrived close to Stalingrad. Our country strongly urges Britain and the United States to launch landing operations in Europe to contain the German forces and reduce the pressure on our army. Under this situation, the United Kingdom hastily dispatched a military force. A 1,000-man assault force carried out a landing operation in Dieppe, France. As a result, almost the entire army was destroyed under the attack of the German army."

In order to make what I said more convincing, I also specifically added: "When I chatted with General Marshall and General Patton, I heard them mention that the British excuse the failure of the Dieppe landing to use large-scale amphibious The complexity and danger of landing must be cautiously used as a reason, insisting on postponing landing operations on the European continent."

Zhukov nodded and urged me to say: "Go on and talk about the reasons why you chose to land in Normandy!"

"I chose Normandy for three reasons: First, Normandy is far away from the United Kingdom. The Germans did not expect the Allied forces to land in this area, so their defense is bound to not be too tight; secondly, the terrain of Normandy is open and can be used. Twenty or thirty divisions were deployed at the same time; thirdly, it is also a more important reason. It is only 80 kilometers away from Cherbourg, the largest port in northern France."

After I said this, Zhukov got up from his seat and walked back and forth in the small room with his hands on his back. Taking advantage of his thinking time, I went through what I had just said in my head to check if there were any mistakes.

After Zhukov stopped, he hesitantly asked me: "Lida, you must know that you are a Soviet general. How can the United Kingdom and the United States allow you to participate in the formulation of such an important combat plan? Will there be any conspiracy in this? Isn’t it the smoke deliberately released by the United Kingdom and the United States? Maybe they have no plans to open a second battlefield in Europe at all, do you think?"

Zhukov's series of questions stunned me. I asked myself, how can I be able to participate in the formulation of Operation Overlord? If I don’t know the real history, maybe I will have the same idea as Zhukov. I think this is a conspiracy between the United Kingdom and the United States. They used to open up a second battlefield to fool the Soviet army and the German army on the battlefield. Reap the benefits of the fisherman.

I took a deep breath and said to Zhukov: "Comrade Marshal, I think Britain and the United States are really preparing to open a second battlefield in Europe. Otherwise, once our troops enter Europe first, they will be politically and military. Become very passive."

Fortunately, I knew a little bit about this period of history, so as soon as Zhukov finished speaking, I immediately added: "Yes, according to the information I learned when I was in Washington, the situation of the girl who sprinkled flowers on the Soviet-German battlefield was extremely severe. , The German army’s vanguard has arrived close to Stalingrad.
