Guderian's Blitzkreig Turn 1b

 Russian Front, SE of Rosylov

The Soviet 279^th Strelkovaya Division was bombed and overrun by the 177th AG battalion and remnants retreated north.  With the bridge secure, 10^th Panzer penetrated the Soviet front and advanced to Kirov.  Elements (PzG regiment and Pz Battalion) overran the 173^rd Infantry in a fortified position.  173rd was sent reeling back but the KG did not press the attack to avoid losses At Kirov the remainder of the 10th turned north towards Spa Demyansk and overran the airfield SE of the city.  The attack was such a surprise ½ a squadron of Lagg3s were left behind.
2^nd Panzer, following close behind, headed north to Spa Demyansk proper, overrunning the remnants of 173^rd Infantry as they turned north.  Defenders in Spa were scattered easily, but not before destroying a few supplies.  At Kirov, truck convoys were established to allow the fortified position captured from the Russians to be used as a supply source.  A supply dump was established there.
A small KG consisting of the 192^nd AG battalion and the 276^th Hvy Flak battalion moved SE of Kirov to cut the Kaluga-Bryansk RR at Zhizda, but the objective was out of reach.
Finally, a railway repair battalion has started to convert the railroad to Bryansk.
