Minsk ´44 - The Long Left Hook

Enemy Response

  

   Germans are more or less holding to their first lines. In the Savchenki area, the first line company became disrupted so they´ve sent some reinfocements into the trenches (A) which must have been on the way since the first turn. They have abandoned the village to the north-west of Savchenki.
   7 kms down the front, in the Pligovki area, the defenders are not so determined and decided to fall back. The two companies at Morgi are both undisrupted, which means that the one that withdrawed disrupted from the previous assault was probably rallied up by their comrades. Maybe they´ve convinced the original occupants of this position that it might be a better idea to get to safety to secondary position. Another company that is situated 2kms to the east of them did come to the same conclusion. It was decreased to less than 100 men and is disrupted. They won´t have much time for any peace in Pligovki too.
   Enemy units at Mosoroto area reached their comrades´trenches too (B and C), they are mostly disrupted. Nothing unusual regarding enemy artillery, but enemy Stukas showed up and hit 1/199th Gds Rifle Rgt (marked by the bomb icon). 10 men are out of action, but the unit is still not disrupted and one Stuka was hit by unit´s machine guns and it crashed in the local marches. Due to the local minefields, it will take some time until somebody locates and reaches the wreck, possibly capturing the pilot for later interogation :)
