Congratulations Major @Strachwitz for successfully repulsing the Russian attack.
After spending two days covering the river crossing and retreating columns moving towards Minsk, still under desultory Russian artillery fire, some more bad news arrives.
Russian forces have bypassed the 12th Panzer Division's blocking positions to the west in an attempt to get behind and encircle Minsk from the SE.
Your Kampfgruppe handed over its positions to an improvised Sperrgruppe of pioniere and a PAK battery and is immediately sent on a forced night march towards the town of Bostyn, via the Kurgan Railway Siding, where you are to rendezvous with a Panzer Aufklarungs unit and also replenish supplies in preparation for a counter-attack operation against advancing Russian spearheads, once you arrive at Bostyn.
It's 05:30, July 4, 1944
After a long, exhausting, yet uneventful night march, your Kampfgruppe has arrived at the edge of a large forested area with several lakes which needs to be crossed to get to the Kurgan Siding rendezvous point.
The surrounding areas have been reported to be with infested with partisans, so be vigilant at all times.
Good luck, commander!
