Soviet 9 Army continues its threat to break out to the South hitting the seam between German 52 and 3 Panzer Corps and stretching the German line still further. Soviet losses cause the release of half its Cavalry Reserve. Soviet efforts to reach Kharkov from the East and West are repulsed, although one of the German bridgeheads over the Donets is eliminated. In the Center, in an effort to take the pressure off the line defending the Donets crossings, Group Bobkin makes a move to the south taking the town of Pereshchepino and posing a threat to Dnepropetrovsk. In the South the Soviet line defending the bridges over the Donets is pushed back but is not broken with units from German 14 Panzer Corps coming within 20 miles of the Donets crossing south of Volvenkovo.
German units infiltrate the line to cutoff as many Soviet units as possible.
No Soviet losses. Neither side was able to achieve its main objective - the Germans to cutoff and defeat the Soviet Army, the Soviets to liberate their Cities. Both sides get to attack and defend. Or the Supply Column that didn't quite make it into range of the Operational HQ that needed it to go on the Offensive. The friction of war is reflected well here.
