Overview:
The rail lines continued to be a primary target for partisan activity. The number of raids they made on them was not great, and taken in total never represented a really serious effort. During February they blew tracks in 24 places in the rear of the Sixteenth Army and in the central sector broke rails in 94 places in 170 attempts. On one single night, that of 15 April, they temporarily interrupted all rail lines leading out of Bryansk. They also struck rather sharply at rail bridges. During February they successfully damaged or destroyed 12 bridges behind the Sixteenth Army, and in March in the Bryansk area on orders from the Soviet Central Staff attacked 5 bridges in force (4 of them important ones) and successfully blew up 3 bridges.Attacker: Partisan (Soviet Partisan Detachment)
Defender: German (Bridge Guards, Sicherheit Bataillon 974)

| 2022-09-16 | (A) Mark Thompson | vs | Germans (Chip W) | Partisan win (VASL Log) | The Partisans massed their forces on the West side of the bridge against the smaller number of Germans, and placed two squads with LMGs on the East side to interdict the bulk of the German force from crossing to the East side. The Germans broke a number of Partisan units on the West side probing the defenses, but were unable to hold off the Partisans from reaching the West side victory hex, placing 4 demos, and racing a few squads across the bridge to secure the East side victory hex (albeit in broken status after running many layers of residual). During their 4th turn, the Partisans rolled < or = 5 on their 3rd DC attack, bringing down the span and sealing victory - albeit at a heavy cost. |
