The battlefield was very open, and lacked buildings of any kind. With cover options limited it was decided to press a quick attack to relive the infantry of their position. 4th company was able to approach the hill under cover of darkness and fired their machine guns at the infantry to little effect. 5th Company also pressed to the flank, but was ambushed by an anti-tank platoon(ITV) in the woods.
The losses were severe, but 5th Company's sole survivor bravely refused to quit the battlefield, and advanced toward the infantry on the hill. The tanks crew have been recommended for the Order of Lenin Another mechanized infantry platoon had arrived and 4th Company needed support.
Congratulations on the victory Bioman 🙂
Love the batrep
