Flashing Sword of Retribution

[herr_oberst]

As 1200 hs of Februray 7 with an important visibility drop, the attack on Belgorod continues at a slow pace. The Hungarians are now aided by a German infantry division and the newly arrived 27º Panzer (thanks to the railway).
Das Reich is not pursued anymore and is resting and regaining strength.
In the road to Kharkov no Russians are detected, which is very strange.
11º Pz. finally destroyed the Soviet elite brigade in the Donetz Bend.
In the extreme south, as 17º Panzer Division arrived from the Caucasus and was relieving 3º Pz.Div. in their positions at Yama, a big Russian advance started. The lack of infantry demands both armored formations to act as defensive units to hold the line -a task unsuited for them-, but their artillery and nebelwerfers are taking a great toll on the advancing soviets.
The low visibility and the vast terrain to cover is making me nervous about Russian infiltration. The raid at the Donetz Bend showed the Russian capability to pass undetected, and the quietness of the central front suggest something nasty brewing in the Red Army...
