After that, Central Front HQ went underground in a bunker in the garden of a former monastery.[60]. Konstantin Rokossovsky went on to become one of the most talented Soviet commanders. [36], On 20 July, Zhukov ordered a general counterattack with the aim of relieving the encircled armies, and beginning on 21 July attacks began along the entire front, and continued for a number of days in an uncoordinated fashion. A somewhat ungracious and not sufficiently sympathetic person. Zhukov reacted at once. Many people at the time (and since) saw this as a callous decision, allowing the Germans to massacre Polish civilians and freedom fighters. However, Konstantin's father, Ksawery Wojciech Rokossowski, was a railway official in the Russian Empire and his Russian mother Antonina Ovsyannikova was a teacher.

After the end of the war Rokossovsky remained in command of Soviet forces in Poland (Northern Group of Forces). Rokossovsky wrote rather warmly about Stalin and their interactions during the war. Using his own judgment, Rokossovsky decided that a counterattack would be suicidal and fruitless against the vastly superior German force, and held his ground instead, buying time for other units to reorganize. He observed in his memoirs that "the terrain off-road was wooded and swampy, keeping the German advance to the road. [50], Subsequent events delayed the attack and it was shelved, only later to be resurrected as "Operation Uranus" with Vatutin playing the lead role, however Walsh asserts that Rokossovsky being originally selected to lead the attack "was symptomatic of his standing and the importance of his location as an indicator of significant, impending Soviet operations."[51].

The battles of Smolensk and Moscow had by no measure resulted in Red Army victory, but the front-line formations under his command were central to frustrating the Wehrmacht efforts to achieve the same[47] and this was most likely reflected in Stalin's decision to make him commander of the Bryansk Front,[48] where Stavka expected the main line of German attack to be renewed against Moscow in 1942Rokossovsky was a trusted officer who could be counted on in a tight squeeze.
