Obejctives
----------
Primary:
1) Take the enemy positions.
- The two bunkers on the sides of the road directly above your starting
postion need to be neutralized to complete this objective. Simply cross the
river on the far left side, then attack both positions from there rear to clean
them out.
2) Capture armored machinery.
- There's a Panzer IV on the German base in the north-western corner of the
map. Capture it to complete this objective, but you'll want to make a few
preparations first (read the main walkthrough for more information). Don't
forget to pick up the repair kit slightly south-west of the Panzer IV, either.
3) Repel the attack of German troops.
- Several heavy German vehicles will approach the map from the large hay field
once you've taken the Panzer IV. The Panzer doesn't have a heavy enough gun to
deal with these German vehicles effectively, so you'll want to capture the
Flak41 near the south-east corner of the base. Lure the German vehicles in
with your infantry or the Panzer, then blast them with armor piercing shells
from the Flak41 while they're distracted.
4) Dmitry Shevtsov must survive.
- If he dies, you fail.
5) Vasily Mikhailov must survive.
- If he dies, you fail.

Walkthrough
-----------
Select Dmitry Shevtsov and start collecting equipment from your other four
troops. Take all of their bandages, light machine gun bullets, grenades, and
Yakim Dmitriev's body armor. Send him all the way to the left when you're
ready and cross the river to the north, making sure the Germans don't see you
while they're patrolling the area. Assault the first machine gun bunker from
its back side, then deal with any Germans that attack you. Take out the
second machine gun bunker on the other side of the road using the same tactics,
but make sure you don't attract the attention of the field gun near the German
base.
With the machine gun bunkers eliminated, move back to the west side of the map
and approach the German base. Carefully eliminate both guard towers on this
side of the base, and be prepared to deal with any German soldiers that you
might alert in the process. The field gun below the base is your next target.
Carefully sneak up on it from behind and either toss a grenade at it or shoot
the Germans that are operating it. Try to stay as far to the left of it as
possible to avoid attracting the attention of the Flak41 or the machine gun
vehicle.
Head south down the road a little, then turn east and approach the Flak41 from
the south-east. Toss an anti-personnel grenade at it to kill the crew without
damaging the gun (you'll want it later). Carefully sneak up on the German
machine gun vehicle parked on the road to the north, and toss an anti-tank
grenade at it from the protection of the bushes. The other guard towers and
soldiers in the German base might attack after that, so be prepared to run for
cover. Wipe out the soldiers, then get closer to the towers to deal with them
from the safety of the shadows.
Shoot the lock off of the gate in the north-east corner of the base if it
hasn't already been blown off, then finish clearing out any remaining Germans
from inside the base. Send all of your soldiers up here now, and find the
repair kit on the ground slightly south-west of the Panzer IV. Put it in the
Panzer IV, then have one of your men man the Flak41 south-east of the German
base. Put the other four soldiers into the Panzer IV to trigger the last
mission objective, then immediately drive it over to the Flak41 to prepare for
the German assault.
A Tiger, a Panther, a Panzer II, and a Stug will approach from the hay field
north of your position. The Tiger and the Panther have heavy armor, so your
Panzer IV will be fairly ineffective against them. You'll need to lure them
towards the Flak41 using either a soldier or some shells from your Panzer, then
blast them at point blank range with the armor-piercing shells from the Flak41.
Watch out for loose soldiers and crewmen from the tanks - your guys in the
Flak41 will be very vulnerable.
Once the four German vehicles have been eliminated, the mission will be over.
