He points out that the command of the "South" team of the enemy attracted in this direction a large number of troops and forces, in particular the 200th OMSBR from the 14th Army, as well as regiments of the 98th Airborne Division, 3rd AK and 102 -SMEs of the 150th MSD and battalions of the 11th separate landing brigade.
