Flashing Sword of Retribution

[herr_oberst]

With the first lights of the morning of february 6 1943, the focal point of the battle is in the north.
Tank elements of five different Soviet Tank Corps have infiltrated the rearguard of Das Reich, intent of cutting off the whole Division. Meanwhile, a strong infantry and artillery attack is carried against the front and southern flank of that unit. The SS Panzers immediately counterattacked the russian armour while the still powerful infantry holds the human wave. At the same time, well rested elements of Grossdeutschland sealed the west flank of the enemy armored thrust. A big meeting engagement battle is developing.
More meaningful, strong russian forces, released by the pinning down of Das Reich, are running for the big price: Belgorod.
The center and south are quiet for now, but the german mobile reserves all over the operations area must decide now where to set up, and that decision will determine the results of the battles the Red Army is going to carry.
