From North to South, variable results of the Rusian offensive.
At Boguchar, everything is stopped. Not enough troops to exploit the first, difficult, assault.
After Mrozovsk, the tanks of the 1st Guards Mechanized Corps and 24th Tank Corps take Tatsinskaya easily and join the ones from the 1st Tank Corps.
The Germans in Tsimlanskaya are cut from the rear by the action of the 13th Mechanized Corps who repulsed easily the Hungarians from Zstvcia.
Mechetinskaya is taken by a brutal assault by the column from Sal’sk. The German paratroopers and remnants of the 16th Panzer-Division and the 29th Infanterie-Division (motorisiert) will have to gather quickly and retreat toward Rostov.
Epic failure of the 5th Tank Army in front of Pavloskaya, while the entire 4th Mechanized Corps is running South to face the SS menacing to cut the rail, as they are retaking Maikop.
