June 1942

Eastern Front

The 29th Tank Brigade punches a 400-yard corridor through to the 2nd Shock Army at Myasnoi Bor. The men of the 2nd Shock rush for the slender lifeline in a desperate bid to escape the pocket. German fire inflicts massive casualties upon the tightly massed ranks of Soviets.

The LIV Corps takes Fort Siberia after a fierce battle. German troops have to wipe out each pocket of resistance with artillery fire and flamethrowers, the Soviets fighting to the last man. The LIV Corps has driven a deep wedge into the Soviet secondary defense line. The XXX Corps' 72nd Infantry Division captures the heavily defended North Nose, Chapel Mount and Ruin Hill strong points, and its 170th Infantry Division takes Kamary. The 28th Light Division encounters particularly strong resistance as it attempts to advance along the Crimean coast.

Vessels of the Black Sea Fleet try to bring reinforcements in, landing 3,000 soldiers together with ammunition, but this is not enough to replace the heavy losses of the past few days.
