October 25th, early morning, on the west bank of the Valdai Hills River, position of the 240th Prosen Artillery Battalion.
This was a new position, the old position of the 240th Artillery Battalion had been unexpectedly discovered by the Anteans two days ago, and they shelled it from across the river, destroying six of the twelve 150mm heavy cannons and a large amount of ammunition.
The good news was that at the time, most personnel were in bomb shelters, so there were not many casualties.
The artillery battalion's trailers had also gone to transport ammunition and, restricted by the mud on the main road on the day of the bombardment, narrowly escaped.
After the bombardment, the artillerymen had used manpower to move the remaining cannons to the new position and camouflaged them overnight.
