Driving the Germans before them and hurrying to keep up with the rampaging 3rd Guards Tank Army, the 101st Rifle Corps stormed Berdichev on January 5th. Once again, the 12th Guards Breakthrough Tank Regiment was ordered to assist the 101st Rifle Corps.
Objectives: Your company is tasked with attacking and destroying all enemy presence on and behind the ridgeline northwest of the Berdichev suburb. While the command platoon supports the attack, the right flank platoon will move south to the ridgeline. Your platoon forms the left flank of the company battleline and will also move south to the ridgeline. The company's left flank will be screened by a detachment of armored cars. It is best to attack enemy antitank positions with ranged HE, then close to destroy the infantry positions. In addition to the strongpoints on the face of the ridgeline, at least one platoon of enemy tank destroyers are placed in reserve behind it.
