October 1942

Eastern Front

Soviet attacks regain the northern outskirts of Rynok and force the Germans out of Spartakovka. During the afternoon, the Germans bread through the 84th Tank Brigade on Tramvaynaya Street, attack the Barrikady factory as they advance. Bloody battles rage across the railway lines as the Soviets fight to hold every yard. Again the Luftwaffe operates in force but is unable to influence the battle, the Soviet units hugging the German front line closely in order to negate the German air superiority.
