As usual and due to the lack of Armoured Personals Carriers ("APC") in the RKKA, the infantry entered the combat as "tank desants" and as such suffered heavy losses.
The dismounted infantry fell back as the roughly 100 tanks of the two brigades disappeared behind the crest heights and rapidly went out of sight.
» Infantry left behind and apparently getting into heavily fortified anti-tank area, heavy losses «
In fact, only three tanks could be recovered the next day, the fate of the other machines remained unknown.
In just a few hours the Germans claimed the destruction of no less than 24 Soviet and almost 100 non-Soviet tanks :
» Having taken a number of key positions, he [ the enemy ] had good artillery observation and could fire in all directions.
Under heavy enemy fire, infantry fell back, so tanks had to move ahead alone and became sitting ducks.«
