The German spearheads had got to within a few miles of the outskirts of the Soviet capital. The Soviets realized that their hour had arrived. The projecting wedge of Guderian’s Second Panzer Army presented the Soviet’s southern group with an opportunity for envelopment from three sides. As dawn broke, Soviet artillery began firing into the village, as the rumbling of tank engines and near by shells burst heralded the Soviet’s arrival. A few metres farther stood the anti-tank guns of the 14th (Panzerjäger) Company, which was fighting with the 1st Battalion. The Panzerjägers watched as the tanks rolled through the snow, firing as they came. As machine gun fire rattled against the protective armored shield of their 5cm Pak 38, the Panzerjägers began their firefight.
Attacker: Russian (Soviet 50th Striking Army)
Defender: German (Kompanie 1, supported by Panzer-Jager 14, Infantry Regiment GD)
The AT guns got turret hits for the kills. With four tanks knocked out the Russians did not have enough to exit. Fun scenario but tough for the Russians.
