Introduction |
---|
XIX Corps commander Heinz Guderian focused on the lead elements of 3rd Panzer Division - the Lehr panzer demonstration unit and the divisional recon and motorcycle battalions – while its other elements ran into problems of their own. Just north of Guderian’s position at Pruscz, the 6th Panzer Regiment ran into a single Polish infantry battalion. Not waiting for infantry support, the tanks simply charged straight ahead. |
Conclusion |
---|
Major Stanislaw Wojtaszewski’s I Battalion of the 34th Infantry Regiment had put out an outpost that shot up several German tanks, but that didn’t slow down the panzers. They came straight into the teeth of his positions, and the Polish anti-tank gunners destroyed still more when they assaulted the main positions in and around the town of Gostycyn. Fighting raged in and around Gostycyn until midnight, when division headquarters ordered Wojtaszewski to fall back to the river Brda. |

As the German armor advanced down the road unsupported they come under fire from two dug in Polish ATGs which which knocked out a step of Pz-Is which allowed the German panzers freedom of movement. The panzers then moved off the road to take under fire an unsupported AT position, eliminating this one threat. The German infantry reinforcements arrived on time, for a change and helped clear the Polish blocking force, but it took time to clear all of the Polish forces. As the Germans advanced on the town they come under very accurate Polish HMG and infantry fire which disrupted and demoralized the German infantry advance. The lone Polish ATG in the town took out several German panzer steps, which defied any attempts to knock it out. In the end the stubborn Polish defence was able to extract a heavy toll on the German forces who did not win any of their VCs thus giving the Pols a major victory. |
