POINT OF THE SPEAR  October 5th, 1941 -

The drive to Moscow was finally underway. As the advance elements of the
4th Panzer Division crossed the Lisiza Bridge on the road to Mtsenk, the
Soviet 4th Tank Brigade struck. Attacking in waves of KV1's and T-34's, the
Soviets seized the bridge. Ignoring their flanks, the Soviet tanks drove
straight into an ambush by German 88's. In the end, the Germans had to
fall back and regroup. For now, the drive to Moscow was blunted.
