Stalingrad 42 Breakout Group Zhuravlev

[Plain Ian]

Turn 16 Russian



Since things held together last turn I thought I would try another assault. 62nd Army artillery was diverted to the pocket. Unfortunately it failed. The 148 men of the 40th Gds Sappers gave it their best shot but the 305th Recon unit held firm. (it did disrupt though)

The 644th was able to swing back to the east in anticipation of a success which never materialised. 

The 303rd Sappers (105 men) was used to fill the gap. The 3/753rd and 2/84th are my two other backstops. 

That's about all I can do.
