However, by midday, the 5th Shock Army was able to advance again.

There was a major battle yesterday between 34th Shock Army and the Russians.

Several Shock Armies would be subordinated to a strategic front.

The 2nd Shock Army was surrounded and, in June 1942, destroyed.

That time, the political commissar of the 2nd Shock Army admitted the failure to break through the defence.

The initial penetration of the 3rd and 4th Shock Armies was very successful.

It was only active for less than two months before being reorganised as 2nd Shock Army.

Four days later the 3rd Shock Army entered the city.

Up until August 1943 the division was operating with both the 3rd and 4th Shock Armies.

Battalion's positions according to their data, the artillery of the 2nd Shock Army had hit empty trenches.
