Overview:

The Germans, aiming to secure the Northern Island before storming the Citadel, faced a formidable resistance at the East Fort. The fort, under the command of Major Gavrilov, became a bastion of defiance against the German onslaught. Barricaded within, Gavrilov's makeshift garrison-comprising elements from an anti-aircraft battalion, a transport company, and an anti-tank battalion, supported by a couple of hastily repaired anti-aircraft guns.-fought desperately. Gavrilov, rallying his troops amidst the chaos, emphasized the critical need to halt the German advance to prevent the fall of the entire island. Despite the relentless German artillery and air bombardment, which preceded ground assaults, the defenders of the fort tenaciously heal their positions.

Defender: Russian (393rd AA Battalion and 333rd Rifle Regiment)
