Oct 8, 1941. After the break through by the German LIII Inf Corps from the SW to Bryansk, Soviet General Petrov withdrew his badly shaken 50th Army to the wooded terrain NE of Bryansk. Trying to break out of the ensuing Bryansk pocket, the general was critically wounded. Informants relay the general’s location in a local farmstead to the Germans, who jump at the opportunity to capture him. The Germans must capture or kill the wounded General, who cannot be moved until stabilized. The Soviets must hold out 5 rounds until reinforcements arrive. In addition, Hovlau’s Hill (4-I14) offers an excellent mortar spotter vantage point, if captured by the Germans.
“Urgent! We immediately need a surgeon and a mobile force sent to evacuate General Petrov who has been seriously wounded. The Germans are approaching from the area of Istomo, hill 342. Commence artillery bombardment!” - Major Shabalin
