The commander ordered the 5 division to cut the escape route of the penetrating enemy, smash him and capture him, and the 26 division to pursue this group, attacking it from the west and north.
But this was not to be realized - and the enemy, albeit with losses, came out of the ring.
During the period of 15 - 16 of October, parts of the division captured up to 1000 prisoners, 3 guns (of which 2 were heavy), 15000 ammunition, shells and military equipment.
