"Pincers"*
15th July, 1944*
1st Ukrainian Front*
Near Horokhiv*
*
*
The enemy is desperately trying to prevent us from trapping them in a pincer. While our forces rush to the west, your company is tasked with taking up positions guarding our southern flank until follow-on forces have caught up.
*
*
Intelligence: The 16th and 17th Panzer Divisions are counter-attacking from the south-west, trying to cut off our spearheads. They are under-equipped, but still a force to be reckoned with.
*
*
Objectives: There are three major terrain features that need to be in our hands in order to guard our flank: The bridge, the village and crossroads and a commanding hill. Take them and repell any German assault. A unit of tank destroyers and another tank company are on their way to support you.*
