The Dorobanti Reg.14/Div.7.Inf (RUM) managed to destroy a T-34 and stopped the Russians from taking the town, unfortunately nearly a whole section was killed in this meeting engagement, a Bofors mod.1936 was also destroyed in the action.
Even if the situation looks bad, the 14th regiment will counterattack this afternoon.

The Russians tried to do a sneak attack along the frozen stream, But our sharpshooter was there and killed 3 enemies. But our major accomplishment was that our mortars destroyed 2 enemy Katushias. We lost about 15 soldiers and a AT gun.
The Dorobanti Reg.15/Diviza.6.Inf (RUM) is preparing a counterattack to repel the enemy behind the Don.

Kletskaïa 19 nov AM
With the help of Ju.87-b we inflicted severe losses on them: 2 Bt-7 and one Komandny KV-1.
Our losses are: one Marder II, one PZ III H and one PZ IV F
The Russians control more gound than us but the situation is under control for now. If the Russians don't attack us with KV-1 we can even repel them on the other side of the Don with the help of our PZs.

My PC just broke down! I managed to copy the saves onto a USB stick, but I have no idea when we are going to be able to continue.

Glote, i like your writing style. Add more nazi propaganda.
Ok, I will (just to make sur, I'm not NAZI, I hate them). I still have some battles to report (we did them just before the PC crashed), but I don't know if I can get back the screen shots...

Hi,
That's a bloody beginning of the GC.
The least I can say is that you does't seem to economise your soldier's life!
Let's hope it will remain some forces to you later in the campaign!
Cheers

Well, for the Russians it's not to bad, they are on Recrut, but I'm on Elit, so it's going to be hard, need to change tactics or I wont have enough soldiers for the counter attack that will repel Ivan on the other side of the Don!

Osinskij 19 nov AM
The battle started well and our grenadiers with the help of engineers managed to take control of the barracks before the enemies. Unfortunately they had heavy artillery support that killed a whole section and we had to retreat to the west.
Like you can see mein Führer, the Russians also managed to take the south hill. With that position, our supply lines are in danger. I am asking the permission to retreat to a better position or we might lose a crucial regiment.
Heil Hitler
Von Paulus.
Hitlers responce to Von Paulus.
Generalfeldmarschall Von Paulus, your orders are to counterattack, the Russians won't be expecting that. Once your supply lines are safe, take back the barracks and drive the Bolcheviks over the Don. Germany is watching you.

Ostrovski 19 nov AM
Mein Führer, The Russians have managed to establish a bridgehead before we could stop them. We tried to counterattack but their 12cm mortars pinned us down and we lost most of our men and one SDKFZ.
We might be able to hold for 24 hours, after that if we don't get reinforcements, we will have to evacuate Ostroski.
Heil Hitler.
Von Paulus.

Vertiachy 19 nov AM
Mein Führer, The Russians had depolyed a whole Panzer section composed of KV-1 and T-34/76 but fearing our packs they didn't dare advance on the frozen river. We only lost a pack 40. After more than 10 minutes of bombardment on our bunker, the Russians finally launched a heavy infantry assault, but our Sturmpioneres didn't fall and the Russians had to retreat.
Mein Führer, we just intercepted an enemy communication. They are going to attack the bunker this afternoon and try to cut off our supply with their Panzers. We are going to set up AT guns on the west bank of the river to ambush them.
Heil Hitler.
Von Paulus.

Krasnaïa Plochad 19 nov AM
Once aigain the Wehrmacht proves his superioritiy. Our grenadiers stormed the Univermag and after only 5 minutes of fierce battle the bulding was under our control with only a minimum of casualties.
I can already say, mein Führer, that Stalingrad is ours!
nice job wwith the german propaganda, it makes this a lot more interesting to read and it really contrasts to what is happening, just like nowadays lol
Oberschütze Ritter recounts his fight at the Krasny Oktiabr factory.
Oberschütze Ritter in the outskirts of the Krasny Oktiabr factory.
We had been lying down for nearly 1 hour when the Oberleutnant gave the order to advance. The factory was in ruins and each noise might have been Ivan. We advanced for another 300 meters.
Ritter and his Comrades Advancing in the Factory.
Then we heard an explosion (I learned later that it was our StugIII that had got an enemy PZ), We all jumped for cover like during the exercises and waited for 1 to 2 minutes. The Oberleutnant ordered us to continue. 5 minutes after the Spähtrupps signaled that Ivan was not far away. We stopped, I deployed my MG34 and started scanning the horizon. The earth trembled, our Wurfrahmer hade just started firing. Once the bombardment was finished, our Oberleutnant shouted " LOS, LOS, LOS" I ran for another 100m and lay behind a broken wall where I deployed my MG. I saw some Russians at the south of the factory, so I turned my MG towards them and started firing...
Ritter about to fire on Ivan.
Second part in the next issu of SIGNAL.
Heil Hitler.

Kotluban 19 nov AM
Great victory, we have not only stooped the enemy advance at Kotluban but have also destroyed 2 T34/76 and nearly an entire section. We also had some losses but nothing compared to the Russians.
We are not able to counterattack without any Panzers, but we can still hold for a long time.

Rynok 19 nov AM
The main battle was around the docks, The Russians were faster than us but they couldn’t resist our counterattack and at the end of the morning, we had the docks.
They tried to outflank us but we redeployed a section and managed to stop their advance.
