Advance on Krakow 1939

[robot]

We have been ordered to refit and upgrade our equipment. Was able to get a 37mm AA for our old 20mm one. Other then repairs and some new replacements for the APC we lost our equipment remains the same.

We have been ordered to advance on Krakow against the Poles again. We will be facing a fanatical enemy this time. We had a taste of what to expect in our gallant defense last month. i Have ordered extra scouts for this battle. We will be advancing into the city. Our mani objectives are to the west of the city. Several heights overlook the city. These are our main objectives to take and hold.

I have 2 plattoons of 150 under my command and this time we didnt forget to get trucks for our sig 150s. If the hordes of troops we met last time is an indication of what we will meet this time . Then i hope the 150 sig can help us with there in mass type of attacks.

Myplan is to send a plattoon of men around the north and south slopes of the hill facing the town. While this is going on a plattoon will advance over the center. After they have cleared and secured the hill. I will move my 150 up on top to cover there advance into the city.

There left flank will be covered by armored cars and light tanks. Also a platton of PZIII. In the mean time i have sent 2 colums to the south. They are to circle around the southern hill amd to flank the enemy from the south. After securring the south hill they are to advance to the north and come into the city from that direction.

The visabilty is bad this time of year. We can only see 300 to 350 yds. It will be slow going to say the least. I hear the tank motors starting to roar to life. We will be on the move in about 15 minutes or so. Jump off time is 600 hours. I have decided to keep the 2 plattoons of engineers in reserve with a sec of PZV.
