the enemy infatry tries to overrun us with heavy artillerie support.

Feldwebel metzgers MG-Abtelung looses 3 men tothis heavy artilery barage of 8 75mm howitzers.

the enemy now has at least 4 infantry companies commited to the attack but his losses are around 20 men every turn.

the 105ers will switch to counterbatteriefire now.

the offensive use of the MGs was a mistake.

the street gives a perfect field of firebut the hast ysetup and the enmy artelleire has costme 3men that will be hard to replace.

the other mg group can do nothing but stay in place until the barrage have ceased.

after the initial attack was broken the battle was over. now it has turned into a rout for the poles and theirlosses are big. only speedbump are some aamgs but force morale is down and they try to run after firing a few shots.

running with thoose mgs is quite tough....

this battle is effectively over.

counterbattery fire has destroyed one 75mm battery and 81mms.

the last 75mm battery will be taken out by scouts and the sniper.

In the last battle my man showed to much enthusiasm. that caused 6 causalities.

Now my lightly damaged company followed the advancing forces until we reached the shores of the bzura river.

As we were approaching the Town of Lewczyzza we heard about a counterattack by polish forces.

hastily my kompanie is brought into defensive Positions. our Sister Kompanie is seperated from us by a swamp that takes upall the middle of the map. 2 Dirt roads go past it. one on the south and one in the north.

We are to expect a broad attack and sowe have to stretch ourlines out abit.

Lets see what the poles can throw at us.

after a little bombardment by 3 100mm batteries the first wave of cavalry appears in the north.

in the south through driving trough the city 3 armoured cars and one 7tp appear and are taken out.

After thsi work is done the panzers and the spaeher withdraw a bit to let the polish artillerie pound the ground where they just were.

In the north the enemy cavalry is ambushed and mostly taken out. 4 lancers manage to escape. artillerie starts to fall.

shortly after this a tank platoon passes through our lines in the south. my infantry is hiding and the panzerbuechse manges to do some damage.

after a short exchange of fire 2 polish tanks are burning and one is damged and immobilised. The Infantry in this Position returns to the line.

After another MG-Carrieris Blown up the polish infantry starts to appear.

they are beaten back with machinegunfire. The mortars are also ready to fire on them.

in the north the road is the center of attack. the rifle patoons in the wheat field see no enemy.

After they were beaten back at the road in the north thepoles tried an attack through the wheat fields.
They were not able to brake the resistance of of the 2 Zuege there and when the mortars started to fall the attacking company+ retreated in disarray.

next they are trying anotherattck along the road. just after they pounded my troops in the wheat field into retreat.
they surely need better coordination.
Now my infantry their has regrouped but nothing is coming throught the wheatfields anymore.

Instead the unsupported attck along the road.
they managed to rout one Inf Group but they have noarguments against the machine guns further down the road.

Most of the attacking company isrouted and the mortars will dotheir buisness soon.

in the south my 2nd Zug at the flank was forced into retreat loosing 8 man in total.The attack was slowed down by our mortars and what managed to move onto the vh was taken out by the reserve platoon machineguns and the tanks.

another Attack was coming a bit more north between the southern dirt road and the southern map edge.
but the unsuported infantry is no problem.

the only danger are AT-Rifles and a sniper that has fired but wasnt spotted and of course the 100mm batteries.

12 more turns i hope mymachine guns dontrun out of ammo. the mortars are nearly finished.

the poles continued their attacks all along the frontline.

Again and again they were stopped by my rifleman and sent intorout by the mortars and machineguns.

then after they had reckoned my positions the arty came down and that caused a few causalities. In the end 8 men in total were killed and 12 injured. Mostly shrapnel wounds. one men went MIA when the right flank was pushed back.
maybe he got lost in the woods.

My 2 kompanies were attacked by approximatly 6 polish infantrie companies supportey by 2 cavalyry squadrones and a tank as well as a armoured car platoon.

their artillerie was made up of 3 100mm batteries and 2 75mmFG batteries. one close tothe frontlines. They alsohad some Mortars but not much. We intend to counterattack and take out these artillerie positions.

We here this attack was part of a greater attack on the 30th inf divison and losses were heavy all along the line defending the northern Flank of our advance on Warszaw.

The men performed as expexted even the reserve Zug showed no fear under the heavy artillery barrages.

The Sniper took out some AT-Rifles again and has now 12 Kills.
The tanks destroyed all the enemy Armour and now have 22 and 16 Kills.

The second Zug was decimated though and will be Rearguard until reeinforcements arrive.

After one Day of Rest and resupply the reeinforcements have arrived. Now wehave some more amoured support.

Our Kompanie will attack on the southern Flank to Fix the Polish units there. Our Sister Kompanie in the north will dothe same on their Flank.

in the center a newly arrived Panzergrenadier kompanie on foot with a kompanie- of normal infantrie will attack the cityof Leycze.
The goal is to get throughthe city to the Bridge and Trap the Forces West of the Bzura.

The enemy Defenses consist of the depleted Infantry that tried to break through our lines yesterday. All atnks were lsot in the attack but there might be still some potent artillerie support.
We wil advacne carefully especiallybecausemymen are tired from the battle and we had some causalities.

Ammosupply is low sowehave to use our artillerie only on know enemy positions. perfect coordination with the infantry will decide over succes and failure of an attack.

We will be careful becasue we dont know how much fight isleftinthe enemy formations.

After assaulting the brtish lines and overruning a 25pounder artillerie batterie we advanced further into holland. The objective was to take two bridges over a river and the Villages close to thoose bridges.

Since ourmen were most rested they were choosen for thisadvance while the pioneers and infantry that supported our last attack stayed behind. Only 5 Pz3 followed us and we got a light batterie for support.

First our scouts could take the bridges without resistance. only a group of scouts was found near thesouther railroad bridge.

But ater we started moving over the bridge enemy artillery and tank units together with infantry counterattacked. We lost 2 of our precious Pz2 here two an immobilised Cruiser tank. Even after it was damaged and full of holes from 20mm cannons the 2 remaining crewmember managed to take out 2 tanks. a grenade froman at team finished their day.

After this attack was broken there most of the enemy fled only some 25mm at-guns remained much to the dismay of the advancig pz3s.

Still we pushed on joined by a Pzgrenadier company that had 2 Jgdpanzer as support. This saved the day once we met a battlegroup of de Gaulles 4th armored Divison. they had around 10 well armoured tanks against our one remaining mark 2. most of them were taken out by the jagdpanzer I only 2 char b1 remain.

right now 1.kompanie is holding back and attack by the french while 2nd komanie and the panzergrenadiere flank them in the south. soon we will have the already demoralised enemy encircled.
Still losses are mounting and we are waiting for ressuply. otherwise we can not continue our offensive.

The plan worked as described and 912 of the enemy were either killed or captured. We destroyed 9 enemy tanks. 2 of them is blose assault. the first Zug has made improvised AT-Weaponsmade out of grenade bundles and Obergefreiter Briels squad has already destroyed 3 tanks with theese.

the french infantry was no match for our own and since the attacked over a cornfield and a train station that didnt have much cover they suffered greatly from our mortars and field guns.

Near the end of the battle a french AA-Gun attacked one of the panzergrenadier scouts. but instead ofhitting it they took out all but one crewmebers of one of theirown 60mm mortars close by. That was some bad aiming.

After this incident they promptly surrendered. the whole battle tookonly around 1 and a half hour still the destruction was great. the cornfieldsin the north and the trainsation where full of fallen french soldiers and burning tank wrecks.

Unfortunatly a Platoon of soumoa Tanks escaped. But who knows what could have happened with theese tanksin the battle. Our own losses might have been much higher the only 9 men.

Still the fighting was heavy and the men are tired and low un supplies but we have to advance further the enemy is out of balance.

Intelligence says there is not mcuh between us and the french border anymore. Only the remains of a dutch infantry divison that was hit hardat the beginning of the assault on holland and has been pulled back for R&R. We will se how much fight they still have in them.
