The Germans soon regret defending the southern rail station. Two smoke OBA missions blind the defenders in the stations. A CH kills off a 447 and a sniper breaks a 468/mmg that was led by a 10-2. This paves the way for a demo attack on the 10-2 stack in the southern station. The Germans suffer two casualty reductions and rout back to the central rail station. The southern rail station is firmly in Russian hands. The Russians lose a T34/85 to an 88LL AT gun. Overall, their armor is struggling. One tank is burning, one is shocked/UK, 3 are immobile, two are bogged and one mired. Another T34/85 barely escapes a Hitler youth panzerfaust attack. The poor HJ eats a 152 round from an ISU152 and dies. A volkstrum squad that went fanatic in the opening bombardment kills a 9-1/458 in HTH CC.
The Germans are retreating from the central rail station. Berlin won't be amused! CVP totals: German 39, Russian 14.
