Designer Notes: This scenario describes the operations of the 3rd Guards Army as they
advance from the north.
Scenario Briefing: The left wing of the Southwestern Front was formed by General
Khetagurov's 3rd Guards Army, this army was deployed along the course of the Severnyy
Donets until linking with the Southern Front south of the curve of the Severnyy Donets. Within
the Izyum-Barvenkovo Offensive Operation, the 3rd Guards Army had a secondary role both in
the events that occurred to the west of its position and to the south in the Mius. The mission
of the 3rd Guards Army was to cross the German defense lines that were supported by the
Severnyy Donets, cooperate with the attack launched by the remaining armies of the
Southwestern Front, and capture the city of Artemovsk. For this mission, the 3rd Guards Army had one head across the river between the towns of Kremennaya and Rubezhnoye, within the
bridgehead, the commander of the 3rd Guards Army, Khetagurov, placed the 78th Rifle
Division and in a second echelon, behind the river, the 11th Tank Brigade and 5th Guards
Motorized Rifle Brigade, on the flanks of the bridgehead and behind the Severnyy Donets,
Khetagurov disposed of the 47th Guards Rifle Division and threatening the cities of Proletarsk
and Lisichansk to the 59th Guards Rifle Division. The chosen plan was the following, the 78th
Rifle Division had to pierce the defenses of the German 62nd Infantry Division, once this
objective was achieved with the help on the flanks of the 47th and 59th Guards Divisions, the
11th Tank Brigade and the 5th Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade would advance south with the
objective of capturing the city of Artemovsk, the area's communications center.
