Introduction |
---|
While the German command had decided to suspend its offensive, there still remained a number of Soviet positions to eliminate before the jägers could rest easy. Chief among these was the Soviet bridgehead on the west bank of the Litsa River, a constant threat to the German lines. Accordingly, the Tirolese of the 136th Regiment with a Finnish company and some bicycle troops set out to drive the Red Army back over the river. |
Conclusion |
---|
The Soviets put up terrific resistance, refusing to yield ground and exacting heavy casualties for every yard the mountain troops advanced. Where elsewhere at this time German troops rolled over the Red Army, here in the north they faced long-service professionals with wily leaders and dedicated political officers. Finally the 136th pushed the 325th back over the Litsa, but it was not a fight anyone on either side cared to face again. |
