February 1942

Eastern Front

The 2nd Shock and 54th Armies launch new attacks to break through to Lyuban, while the 59th Army attacks toward Chudovo. Both armies fare badly as the Germans in down the attacking forces. The 2nd Shock penetrates the German positions at Krasnaya Gorka but is quickly brought to a halt. Meretskov proposes to strengthen the 2nd Shock with the IV Guards Rifle Corps.

Heavy fighting rages at Velizh as the 4th Shock Army launches repeated attacks.
