December 1941-To prevent the fall of Tula, Zhukov started a
counter-offensive on the front of the 2nd Panzer army a few days
earlier than expected. This was enough to stop Guderian's attempt at a
coup de main against Tula and his force has to start retreating out of
the Pocket formed' East of the city. These are likely some motorized
troops of 3rd Panzer breaking out SW toward Jasnaja Poljana.
