Following LtCol Schultz's armored assault on the Soviet trenchline yesterday, the Kampfgruppe, and the PanzerKorps writ large, was back on the move. Things were going fine through mid-morning, then suddenly came to a halt. Enemy armor was counterattacking up ahead; an anti-tank screen was established forward and a full regiment of panzers was on the move, circling to hit the flanks, but the Korps' efforts were being hamstrung by a water obstacle. "Klink," the Korps Commander spoke over the wireless, "push left, find me a way over this damned river!" Colonel Klink acknowledged and took a hard look around; traffic was snarled in every direction for as far as the eye could see. There was no way he could push out a force of any considerable size, so he did what had to be done; he called on his Recce Company Commander, Captain Wehner, to free a platoon and push north to find a crossing. He stated he would lead it himself.
Captain Tausch rallies his men under heavy Soviet fire.
And pushes them forward, looking to break into the enemy's defensive positions, but every inch is a killing zone.
And then this monster turns up!

Hope you enjoyed it, more on the way.
