"Rearguards"*
13th July, 1944*
1st Ukrainian Front*
Near Horokhiv*
*
*
The German front is shattered and the fascists are falling back before our onslaught. Our scout forces are already scouting towards Rava-Ruska and are waiting for us to catch up. This is no time to be careful: Press the advance!
*
*
Intelligence: Our scouts report they have come under fire in a nearby village. It seems the Germans are trying to slow our advance with rearguard forces in the forest as well as in the village itself. They might also have booby trapped buildings and laid mines.
*
*
Objectives: These German remnants are not our concern: Let the infantry mop them up. Your goal is to use the road for our lightning advance westwards. Push aside any German troops you find, but speed is of the essence.*
