About the WinSPMBT suggestion from earlier: theoretically I am down, however, I do not have the same kind of knowledge and expertise about modern weapons and conflicts, so practically it might be a problem.
After resting just 2 days KG Hauser is thrown back into the line. The mission today is preventing a breakout of a trapped russian tank brigade.
Before reaching the blocking line established by an infantry company Hauser orders his men to spread out a bit. The bulgarians and romanians andvance on the flanks while the gebirgsjaeger and the 1st kompanie try to help out the defenders in the city.
The mobile units will advance along the road to see from where the russians are coming and what they are bringing to the party. Hopefully they can also spoil the attack a bit.
As the sun is coming up katyusha rockets start falling around the entrance of the city causing some causalities among the units in the first line. Hauser orders his men to advance carefully and stay of the road....
Thirty minutes later with the sun now fully up the fields and woods laying below the railroadtracks are full with russian tankwrecks of all kinds and the many dead and wounded infantrymen that tried to break out of the kessel here.
The cavalryattack in the north is turned back and the bulgarians prepare to move forward and counterattack.
In the center the KV-1 and 2 are burning hulks thanks to 5 cm and 8.8 cm guns. the gebirgsjaegers are getting ready to counterattack here too.
In the south the russian attack never really started as the rumanians are crossing the bridge encoutering some KVs. luckily the heavy FLAK guns are covering them.
Only bad surprise was the high ammo capacity of the katyushas. hauser didnt decide to counterbattery them because he didnt believe the russians would have prepared ammo dumps for the rocketartillery but he was very wrong. This enede the war for the rumanians HMG -group leaving them without most of their heavy weapons for now after loosing the mortars in the last action.
There is still fighting all over the place but it looks like KG Hauser managed to stregthen the german lines enough to stop the russian breakthrough. Now its time for counterattack!
