Overview:

Schwere Panzerjäger Regiment 656 was advancing east toward the Maloarchangelsk road. Elements of the Russian 307th Infantry Division were occupying heavily fortified defensive positions protecting the road. The four remaining Ferdinands along with supporting Brumbars and infantry from the 86th Infantry Division slammed into the teeth of the Russian defense. Hauptman Luders led 2nd Company’s Ferdinands in a desperate assault on the Russian trench line. Russian anti-tank guns near the railroad opened fire on the Elephants right flank but the fire had no effect. A determined group of Russian soldiers with flamethrowers counterattacked Luders’ tank destroyers.

2020-02-15(A) O Ramaille vs François B. German winThe Russian main forces were defending the main village. The German attacked from Northwest with infantry and from West with the heavy Panzers and Elefants. The Russian quickly lost their main 9-2 leader with a sniper shot, their 82 MTR malfunctioned and their AT guns were silenced without causing damage. The Germans closed in, destroyed the T-34s and were quite in position to surround the main village. The Su152 entered in reinforcement but began suffering from low ammunition. With so few option left , the Russian decided to capitulate.
