Before we attack the factory area proper, we must capture the surrounding lands first.
Your battalion is the main effort to secure Spartakovka from the Russians.*
*
Abteilung I, 305th ID will attack to secure Spartakovka on Oct 6th to facilitate 
follow on attacks into the Tractor Factory.*
*
Your primary order is simple;  secure the suburb of Spartakovka.  You will do this
by destroying enemy resistance in the Prison, and by occupying the key bridges, roads and
buildings of Spartakovka.  Support is limited for this phase of the battle;  Airstikes and
artillery are still coming into position for the future attacks on the factories.*
*
To prevent friendly fire incidents, you are to remain north of the Balka (gully) 
named "Mokraya Mechetka".  The 60th Motorized Brigade is operating south of the Balka.*
*
It is estimated a Russian Infantry Company is defending Spartakovka;  Intelligence tells us
they have no armor support and limited artillery and AT assets.  
Reinforcements are not expected; we are interdicting all river crossing areas to 
prevent the enemie's reinforcement.*
*
HQ requests you keep the timetable set and attack immediately to secure Spartakovka.  After
you have completed this mission, we will be poised to attack into the Tractor Factory 
from the North.*
