On the 14.01.1944 the Soviets attacked Reinwald’s Regiment from all sides, but every one of their four assaults were unsuccessful. With Reinwald at the head of his men, the Regiment then thrust into the Soviet positions near Klinsk and recaptured the artillery from 2 Batteries of the I./Artillerie-Regiment 137 that had been previously lost. Reinwald’s Kampfgruppe then formed a rearguard for elements of three German divisions, his regimental supply trains and the artillery to cross the bridge leading away from Klinsk before finally crossing it himself with his men. The Germans were thereafter able to form a new defensive line.
