T28, 25th of December-1st of January 1941 AGN The Finnish Army continued their attacks on Soviet forward positions this week albeit with mixed success. The Finnish managed to rout 3 Rifle Divisions and force another one to retreat. However due to strong Soviet resistance and bad terrain, 3 attacks failed. The plan is working however, the offensive is succeeding in unhinging Soviet defenses. We can only hope that the Soviets will redirect units in the area, therefore easing the pressure elsewhere.

Soviet casualties were high. We slowly give ground to avoid our units being cut off. The L.A.H SS Mot Division has been pulled off the frontline and has entered winter quarters in Rzhev. They will redeploy to Orel next week. [img]https://i.imgur.com/U2kgeEb.jpg[/img] Soviet losses are not entirely KIAs, but what the game considers lost. The number is per battle not total.

Soviet attacks north-east of the city not only managed to push back German defenders but did so, while causing heavy losses. We switch around units of the 4th Army with several units that have been defending the idle Oka sector (Including 2 divisions from the 18th Army) therefore giving the men a much needed rest and at the same time pressing forward fresh formations to the defense. East of the city, the XXXV Corps under GM Kaempfe managed to hold back two Soviet attacks. We give ground slowly in the area and our troops have now reached the secondary defensive lines.

We give ground slowly here as well, retreating to create a buffer between us and the enemy. Some units have reached the secondary defensive lines where fortifications have not yet been completed. Fortified Regions have been disbanded and the line will be held by the 2nd Army. The reserve Das Reich SS Mot Division has arrived from the south and is awaiting deployment on the frontline. A counterattack against a lone Soviet tank Brigade failed.
