#27 One Piece at a Time

I'll give this small 18 turn scenario a go with my new mods. From the scenario description.

Date: May 24th, 1942  -  Size: Small-Medium  -  Location: 40km E of Krasnograd

Scenario Briefing: The German commanders knew exactly what to do, they had done it before, in the not too distant past, but could they do it again? They had to cut the main pocket into smaller pieces and then destroy them one piece at a time. So, the 23rd Panzer Division was on the move again, to the west, to try to chop off another piece. The Russian units trying to defend the northern sector were in for a surprise! 

At start dispositions (zoomed out on 2D large):


I am in charge of the VIII Corps, and start off with four divisions, from left to right; 62nd Infantry Division (fixed), 108th Hungarian Infantry Division (fixed), 44th Infantry Division, and the 23rd Panzer Division.

My basic plan is to send both the 44th ID and 23rd PzD towards the three 50 VP objectives and to destroy as many Soviets as possible. Can't be any simpler then that right? What could go wrong?
