After the latest successful defensive battle, Kampfgruppe @Mehlsack has been pulled back into reserve and the remnants of StuG Brigade 112 have also been pulled out of the line for repairs and replenishment.
12th Panzer Division is pulling back to regroup SW of Minsk and hold the Russians there for as long as possible.
A small PAK blocking detachment at the village of Ploshgoy has beaten back heavy enemy attacks and has lost all its trucks to artillery fire and is now unable to move its guns.
Division does not want to abandon those guns, and since your Kampfgruppe is closest to Ploshgoy, Lt Glanz's 1st PzGrenadier platoon is ordered to take their halftracks and evacuate the guns crews and supporting MG teams from their positions under cover of night, before the enemy launches another attack and overruns their positions. Your two heavy PSW 333 armoured cars are attached to provide escort and gunfire support.
The halftracks however only arrive at dawn due to refuelling delays ... hopefully the enemy does not spot your activity.
