AFTERMATH (7 Game Turns): The German intention today is made clear as several German elite infantry formations attacked the last Russian controlled factory hall in the area with support of panzers and heavy artillery. 200 fanatic Russian soldiers, mostly Militia, opened fired and desperate protective fire to held off the aggressor, the Germans suffered early losses entering into the factory. A Pz IIIH is knocked out and burst into blaze as a hidden Russian T-70 opens fire, but is quickly eliminated in close combat by stosstruppen. heavy artillery directed by a spotter plane starts to blast the Russian troops both inside and outside the factory and the defenders quickly crumble, and soon the factory fall into full German control, although not without significant losses. The only survivor among the factory defender is a Russian officer that routed out from it the others that also routed out are moved down as they attempt to cross the street of fire, Thereafter, the German continue to push further east of the factory hall towards the wooden buildings area where the Russian scramble a new defense line ,many thanks to the sole survivor from the factory, and tough fighting continue until the battle ends. At the Bread factory area down south, the Germans launch a probing attack but first when the factory have been conquered, and comes to a halt when the Russian reserves are activated. In the Commissar House - Apothecary - Volga sector, the Germans have planned a more defensive mode. The Russian call down a barrage (9 hexes - 360 m) along the German front line and successfully blast several of these defenders into bits, and the Russians are quick to launch an attack after the barrage have been lifted and eliminates the last pockets of defense in the frontline building. The German spotter plane start to call down heavy artillery upon the Commissar House, Apothecary and other buildings, several of them catch fire and at the same time the Russian offb´d Observer call down artillery upon the Germans. Towards the end of the battle, several single hex buildings around the Commissar House is taken control by the Russians, due to the many machine guns raking the German defense line that are also hammered by the artillery. Another bloody battle for both sides and the Germans still pushes towards the Volga, minor victories and accomplishment by the Russians do not change that fact.
