Zhukov, zhukov, Georgi Constantinovici zhukov (Russian: георгиконстаи) Gregorian calendar 1 89665438. Because of his outstanding contribution in the Soviet-German War, he was regarded as one of the best generals in the Second World War, and thus became one of only two people who won the honorary title of Soviet hero four times. He is an unforgettable national hero. Zhukov was born in a poor family in Koffka village, Strell, Kaluga. Zhukov was an apprentice in Moscow, and was called into the Russian cavalry in 19 15. In World War I, zhukov won the St George's Cross twice for bravery and was promoted to sergeant. After the October Revolution, he joined the Bolsheviks. 19 18- 1920 He took part in the Soviet-Russian civil war. 1923 zhukov became the head of the team. 1930 promoted to brigade commander. He is an enthusiastic supporter of the new armored warfare theory, and his detailed battle plan and strict requirements for discipline have also brought him fame. From 1937 to 1939, Stalin cleaned the army, tukhachevsky, the advocate of armored warfare, was shot and many other military generals were imprisoned. Fortunately, zhukov survived the purge and continued to be promoted. In this case, it is generally believed that zhukov's cavalry background helped him escape. Among the Soviet marshals at that time, voroshilov and Butioni, who came from cavalry, were reused, while the other three were purged. 1938, the Japanese army created friction on the border between Mongolia and the Soviet Union and the puppet Manchukuo established by Japan, and zhukov was sent to the border to organize military deployment against Japan. The Battle of Nomenham broke out in May 1939. Under the command of zhukov, the Soviet army used a large number of armored forces to carry out blitzkrieg-like three-dimensional mobile operations, and finally encircled the Japanese army and won. This battle was not noticed because it was far away from the main battlefield in Europe, but to some extent, it made Japan give up its intention of going north and set the main direction of using troops in Southeast Asia, so that the Soviet Union avoided being caught between Scylla and Charybdis in World War II. Zhukov was awarded the title of Soviet hero for his excellent command in this campaign. 1940, zhukov was awarded the rank of general, and was later appointed as the Soviet chief of staff. As the chief of staff, zhukov's main task is to put forward a plan to defend the German attack. With the declassification of the secret archives of the former Soviet Union, some historians believe that zhukov proposed a preemptive attack on Germany in May 194 1, but Stalin refused. 1941On June 22nd, the German army invaded the Soviet Union, the Soviet-German war broke out, and the Soviet army was defeated at the beginning of the war. Zhukov signed an order demanding that the Soviet Red Army immediately organize a counterattack, but it didn't work. After the Germans marched, the focus was on Kiev. After judgment, zhukov proposed that he should withdraw from Kiev to avoid being surrounded by the Germans and causing greater losses. His views and forthright personality caused him to clash with Stalin. He was appointed commander of the reserve army and shaposhnikov took over as chief of staff. The subsequent war process showed zhukov's insight. If Stalin had taken his advice, it would not have caused the tragedy that 660,000 Soviet troops were wiped out in Kiev. After serving as the commander of the reserve army, zhukov led the army to successfully carry out the Yelinia counterattack in Yenia, crushing the German vanguard. Stabilized the local front. Leningrad in September is in a hurry. Zhukov was recalled to Moscow, was appointed as the representative of the base camp, and went to Leningrad. From then on, he started the prelude of coordinated command in various places, and was therefore called "fire captain". After zhukov arrived in Leningrad, he immediately suspended the meeting where he was studying the evacuation plan, relentlessly replaced the commanders of the two army groups, arrested and executed some officers who retreated without authorization, and quickly drew up a guarding city plan. Through their own strong will to drive subordinates, rational use of effective forces to focus on defense and counterattack, and stabilize the line of defense. In June 5438+10, the Germans attacked Moscow on a large scale, and zhukov was transferred back to Moscow to defend Moscow instead of Tymoshenko. The defense war ended in February 65438, and the Germans withdrew from the surrounding areas of Moscow. /kloc-in the summer of 0/942, Stalin and Timoshenko, regardless of zhukov's opposition, forcibly launched Kharkov offensive campaign, which suffered heavy losses. About 50 officers and men were captured, and the Germans headed for the corner of the Don River and the southern foothills of the Caucasus mountains. Zhukov therefore became the Supreme Deputy Commander-in-Chief and was sent to the front line of Stalingrad as a representative of the base camp. It is generally believed that he planned the Battle of Stalingrad with Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr Aleksandr 1943 He coordinated the Battle of Kursk as a representative of the base camp. Rokossovsky, commander-in-chief of the front line, recalled that zhukov did not participate in the decision-making of the Battle of Kursk, and his role was greatly exaggerated. From 65438 to 0944, zhukov, as the representative of the base camp, coordinated and organized the Belarusian campaign codenamed "Bagration". 1945 led the army to conquer Berlin as the commander of the First Army of Belarus, presided over the unconditional surrender ceremony of Nazi Germany in the middle of the night on May 8, and signed it on behalf of the Soviet Union. After the war, zhukov was suspected by Stalin because of his outstanding military exploits and his own shortcomings. 1946, sokolovski succeeded the German Soviet Commander-in-Chief, and zhukov became the Soviet Commander-in-Chief. 1947 was accused by Stalin, and was sent to Odessa Military Region, far away from Moscow, as commander, and later demoted to the second military region in Urals, where the strategic position was even less important. Zhukov was recalled to Moscow in 1953, but Stalin died immediately, so it is impossible to confirm the reason why zhukov was recalled. 1953 zhukov participated in the arrest of beria, so he became the first deputy minister of the Ministry of National Defense. From 65438 to 0955, he served as the defense minister of the Soviet Union. 1956, zhukov made a plan to invade Hungary. 1957, Khrushchev clashed with Molotov and bulganin, who demanded Khrushchev's resignation at the presidium meeting, and Khrushchev demanded a plenary meeting in the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. Zhukov supported Khrushchev, sent military planes to send all the Central Committee members to Moscow, and delivered a powerful speech, accusing Molotov and others of participating in Stalin's purge movement, thus consolidating Khrushchev's position. Khrushchev then felt the threat of zhukov, and used zhukov's visit to overhead him. After he returned to China, he dismissed zhukov's post of defense minister on the trumped-up charge of "Bonapartist"-that is, the crime of the same name in Tuhachovski's unjust case. After Khrushchev stepped down, zhukov was mentioned again. Zhukov, who lives in seclusion, has written many military works, such as Memories and Reflections, In the Battle to Defend the Capital, Kursk Prominence, In the Direction of Berlin, etc. , and describes many famous battles on the battlefield of the Soviet Union and Germany in World War II, and expounds his military thoughts.
