SE side of the Rzhev Salient, November 28th, 1942: The 20th Army was tasked with punching a hole through the German tactical defenses between the Vazuza and Osuga rivers. The Army's plan was to use four Rifle Divisions on its right flank to penetrate the line on the first day. Subsequently, the Rifle Divisions were to widen the gap to 15 -18kms to enable a cavalry-mechanized group to exploit through the gap. Unfortunately the gap at best was never wider than 5 or 6 kms, totally inadequate for the task. However, the Soviets did have a penetration and so they started to feed all the follow on troops through it, which led to the usual disorganized chaos in the gap.[Size, small]
