Yelnya, 60km SE of Smolensk: In late August of 1941, General Zhukov was given the mission of rubbing out the Yelnya Salient. During the early morning hours he launched an attack against the German infantry holding the Yelnya pocket. By this time, the panzers had driven south into the Ukraine. The Soviet 102nd Tank Division carried out the assault with the goal to cut the Smolensk-Yelnya rail line. Henceforth, they could continue pressing south, to bag their own pocket of German infantry, using the same tactics employed on the Red Army. Zhukov was learning fast how "Blitzkrieg" worked!
