Introduction |
---|
When the sun rose, the Soviets renewed their efforts to capture the key height at Căuşeni Hill. It overlooked all of the territory on the right bank of the Dnestr, allowing observers there to call down artillery fire on the Soviet supply lines and approaching reinforcements. |
Conclusion |
---|
As 37th Army's command had feared, the Germans had rushed two regiments from 384th Infantry Division overnight by truck to the hill. Bunkers and trenches had been prepared there during the preceding months, and the Soviets suddenly faced a well-ordered defense manned by fresh troops. Amid what the Soviet General Staff study described as "fierce fighting," the Red riflemen took the hill at the cost of heavy casualties and with the aid of heavy tanks and heavy artillery and air support. The Germans were not yet ready to give up such an important position. |
Additional Notes |
---|
Map 5 may also be found in Panzer Grenadier: The East Front and in Eastern Front Deluxe. The SdKfz-9 in the OOB would have been Luftwaffe, as it is mostly the mover for the 88mm antiaircraft gun. |
