Eastern Front

The bitter battle for Orlovka reaches its climax as the 115th Rifle Brigade struggles to hold off the attacks of the XIV Panzer Corps. The isolated battalion in the village suffers heavy casualties under the constant German artillery fire and plan a break out through the Orlovka Gully to the factories. Around the factories, the 308th Rifle Division launches a furious counterattack and pushes the Germans back into the Silikat factory.
