124 Guards arty regiment of 52 Guards rifle division.
Awarded for the engagement for the settlement Bogoroditskoe : Google Maps
The engagement was a 4 hours long direct fire artillery duel between the 3rd arty squadron and a German arty squadron defending Bogoroditskoe.
The German direct fire artillery position was app. 1,5km West of Bogoroditskoe.
The Soviets had to cross the river in order to take a position suitable for direct fire, i.e. a position app. 200m North-West of Bogoroditskoe. After 4 hours six 105mm German guns were destroyed and the infantry could assault without problems.
Hi- what website/seller did you get this from, if you don’t mind me asking (is it from sovietorders.com)? Thanks, and nice order!
Yes it is
