Our 75mm guns opened up on their Southern advance, cutting them to shreds. A lone Pz IV crew fought well, killing a SP 25mm AT gun in the process, but died along with his brethrin as our counter-attack rolled forward. We demolished 2 Pz IVs, a host of trucks, some Jpz I's, and our motorcycle troops cleaned up the contents of the Opel transports.
In the Center, our AT guns fire, but cannot hit targets. A few German tanks have their turrets damaged, one is destroyed by a Char 1B that rallied. The enemy continues to cut a dangerous swath through the woods there. We are losing ground, and hope to divert assets from other more successful fronts to reinforce our wavering lines.
In the North, our success is mixed as well. Two more Pz IIIg's die to infantry assaults and heavy tank fire. We may have held the village and the bridge there. To the far North however, the results are far less clear. En route to ambush a buttoned Pz III, our infantry stumbles on not one but three more! We are shot up in the process, and only hope that we can get reinforcements there too before the enemy can flank us.
German losses were heavy this turn, 4 Pz III's were lost or de-crewed, a 3 Pz IV's, 6 81mm mortars, 8 Opel Trucks, 4 Laf troops, 2 Zug troops, 3 more JgdPz Ib's, and a host of crews and infantry.
Our lines of communication are taxed, and as a result, we have lost contact with our heavy guns, and our 75mm battery.
The Germans fight with more fervor than we can yet muster, I hope this latest round of losses halts their advance. We can use the time to consolidate.
