Given priority fuel and replacements. The 2nd SS Panzer DIvision geared up for an assault on a small Belgian village held by elements of the 5th Infantry Division. Hauptstürmführer Bayer gave the final orders to his men and mounted his Command tank and set off.
Guarding a vital Supply dump for XXI Corps the 15th Panzergrenadier Division was dug in alongside a series of villages on the Western Front. Trying to seize it and wreak havoc on the Germans the 2nd Armoured Division was launching an attack across the entire front with support from the 3rd Armoured for extra firepower.
And a propagandacast Lehr covering the USF mortar.
It had taken days for the replacements and equipment to get there. and even then they were lacking in munitions and fuel. But there was no time to delay. The assault of the Grossdeutschland had to go on. The 5th Mechanized Guards Corps had to be stopped no matter what.
Following weeks of quiet on the front. The Germans were stirring and the 7th Infantry Division found itself the target as the 21st Panzer Division launched an attack on the village holding one of the divisions regimental Headquarters.
Following the Assault of the 3rd Armoured Division the 5th Armoured was committed to follow attack on the outskirts of the Hürtgen forest against the Kampfgruppe Meyer. A mix of SS and Regular army troops tasked with holding a vital crossroads.
Taking over after the 2nd Panzer Division the 82nd Infanterie Division dug in along an old French village. But before they could even begin to lay down the first defences the 7th Armoured Division struck. Forcing the Grenadiers to fight from hastily prepared positions and hope for more serious reinforcements.
"Goddamn Krauts have launched a Counter-attack Sergeant. Gear up and get ready or we'll be eating stale bread in some prison camp soon"
A Swift push by the 21st Panzer Division suddenly found itself with more gains than initially expected and so found itself reinforced as it pushed against the 5th Infantry Division. Itself the recipient of reinforcements as Bradley steered more tanks and men towards it to stem the German attack,
2nd Company was gone and 3rd was barely operational. Major Bauer was on edge as the Soviets launched another assault and Regimental command couldn't provide any support. Division was silent and he hadn't even considered Corps. The Situation was dire, but a retreat was out of the question. So all he could do was dig in and hope for help.
nd my thoughts on the possibility of a third axis faction and how it could look.
A surprise morning assault from the 12th SS Panzer Division caught the Guards Armoured division off guard, pushing back a full battalion of Infantry until reinforcements could be brought up to halt them. And so a bloody melee ensued.
Sergei rushed across the road, past the corpses of dead comrades. Clutching his Rifle tight he jumped into the ditch as bullets whizzed above his head.
The 10th Mechanised Corps had advanced too far and was quickly being flanked by the 7th Panzer Division. And no sign of assistance from Stavka.
And The state of the balance for July 2016 is up with my thoughts on the recent months balance and metagame.
