November 22nd, 1942*
1800*
Near Kalach, Soviet Union*
*
Since last night a forward detachment commanded by Major Fillipov is holding the pontoon bridge at Kalach, having seized it in a surprise assault. They are now under increasingly desperate counter attacks by the Germans still in the city.*
*
Your Brigade has to relieve this company sized unit and save the bridge from counter attack. After that we will advance into Kalach and secure the city. This will allow us to link up with 4th Mechanised Corps coming from the south, thus closing the pocket and trapping 6th Army.
*
*
Objectives: Deploy your force above the indicated line.*
Reach the bridge and defeat the counter attacking forces.*
Secure Kalach.*
*
Enemy: According to Fillipov on the radio, Kalach is mostly held by Military Police and other rear area units. They have at least 1 heavy flak in support, with another one captured by his men.
*
*
Fillipov's force consisted of a company of infantry, which is somewhat depleted now, as well as 5 T34s, one of which fell into the river during the initial assault.
*
*
This is the final mission of this campaign!
