German Turn 7 – Night



German 7th Division did not follow up the Russian 32nd nor did it fire with any of its units in contact?

At Sememychi he eventually assaulted after a short artillery barrage. He reserved most of his artillery for the tanks of the 1/25th. The BT-5 doesn’t have a very high defensive strength and the Bn lost 4. The assault itself was quite even (-13/-14) and he lost 9 before the assault in op fire. The 2/322nd lost 63 men in the defense of the village but is still in reasonable condition with Fatigue at 88.
 


It was a relatively quiet night for the 222nd Division as well. Artillery took out 1 man and a 45mm ATG of the 878th AT Rgt. The German 258th withdrew after a brief fire fight.

The 689th AT Rgt had a nervous few hours waiting for the sound of the Germans following up their withdrawal.....but it looks like they have got away.
 
Looks like Eldar will rest and resume at dawn?
