7) On Wednesday, a strike element of 1st Bn Chernarus 7th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade was ordered to clear east Granichak (Leskovets) of rebel troops.
The main task for the task force was the elimination of the criminal command group headed by Georgi Horvat and Annet Rulin.
On the road march to the area of operation, the task force encountered at least two enemy foot patrols. An unplanned sweep by command squad failed to turn up any of the patrols. 3rd Squad lost one from enemy patrol actions.
The initial attack on the town was quick and violent for enemy troops. However, 2nd squad became wedged north of the main highway and then overwhelmed by enemy reinforcements pouring in from the north, which included a BMP IFV. 2nd squad was wiped out.

In the retreat, the task force encountered one of the foot patrols from earlier. Command squad wiped them out.
Documents seized from the person of Rulin showed rebels will continue attacking in the west, and that they have the troops to force a decision.
