1941年10月6日,俄罗斯中央战线,姆岑斯克,Kamenewo的红色钢铁。
Following the capture of Orel, the German High Command ordered General Heinz Guderians panzers to push on towards Mtsensk, Tuila and Moscow. Alarmed at the situation Stalin deployed Major General Leyushenko to halt this advance. the battle was finally joined when when the 4th Panzer Division crossed the Lisiza stream at Kamenewo, pushing back the dug in defenders towards Mtsensk, but unaware they had entered a Soviet trap. at this point the T34s and KV1s of Colonel Katukovs 4th tank Brigade attacked from the woods on the Panzers left flank smashing the out gunned and weaker armoured PzIII tanks and half tracks. For the Germans the battle was a terrible shock, stalling their advance and an unexpected demonstration of Soviet armoured superiority. During the battle Lt Lavrinienko, with his platoon of four T34s supported by three KV1s under Sgt Antonov knocked out eleven enemy tanks, plus a pair of artillery guns (squashed under the tracks of the KVs)
在占领奥廖尔号之后,德国高级司令部命令海因茨·古德里安将军的装甲部队向姆岑斯克,图拉和莫斯科进发。斯大林对这种情况感到震惊,他命Leyushenko少将阻止这一攻势。当第4装甲师越过Kamenewo的Lisiza溪,填平姆岑斯克方向的防御工事时,他们终于加入了战斗,但他们并不知道他们已经进入了苏联的陷阱。此时,Katukovs上校第4坦克旅的T34和KV1在装甲部队的树林中向左翼进攻,粉碎了被炮击的脆弱的三号坦克和半履带车辆。对于德国人而言,这场战斗是一场可怕的打击,使前进陷入停滞,并突如其来地证明了苏联的装甲优势。在战斗中,Lavrinienko中队在Antonov中尉的带领下,由四辆T34组成的排在三辆KV1的支持下,击毁了11辆敌军坦克,再加上一对大炮(在KV的轨道下被压扁)
