Kampfgruppe Nort: Mission 8

er the latest successful defensive battle, Kampfgruppe @Hedgehog has been ordered back into reserve and 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 Wasinger's 3rd 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 SPW 250/9 gun halftrack and a Flak Halftrack are attached to provide escort and gunfire support.

Due to refuelling delays, the halftracks however only reach Ploshgoy at dawn ... hopefully the enemy does not spot your activity.

Congratulations Major @Nort -- you have successfully completed Mission 8 and safely extracted the 3 PAK guns with their crews before they would be overrun by the Russian infantry attack.
One of your SPW 251/1 halftracks was lost when it was hit by the Russian rocket barrage and the MG teams covering your withdrawal have been overrun and listed as MIA.

The PAK guns have been passed on to the Panzergrenadier Regiment command and you now regroup with StuG Brigade 112 and prepare for the withdrawal operations to commence.
