Started: Rumbling along the Osuga - PzC 09 Rzhev '42

Sychevka Sector, Nov 19th 1942: For the last few weeks an uneasy calm had settled over the front. The rains had stopped, and a bitter cold swept into the area hardening the ground. Intelligence was a buzz with when the big attack might come, as raids and reconnaissance that preceded Soviet offensives became commonplace. One such large "reconnaissance in force" happened near Gredyakino where Soviet infantry, supported by tanks, penetrated the 5th Panzer Division section of the line. After a few unsuccessful counter attacks were tried, the Russians were successfully driven off the next day, and the front line restored. [Size, small]
