The Next Step to More Combat |
---|
The Germans held a hill to the south of a local farm. The Soviet force was ordered to remove the German force. All appeared to be going in the Soviet’s favor. The second air strike was called in and troops began moving forward once they heard the aircraft approaching. Due to the success of the first airstrike the troops were confident about advancing, too confident. As the German Stuka roared into view with cannons blazing the Soviet forces knew they were in trouble. Troops falling and fleeing was the scene left behind. The impact made by the surprise Stuka was too much to overcome. The Soviet forces then inexplicably assaulted a dug in German position and the end followed. The Germans successfully held the position until reinforcements could arrive but at a severe cost. |
