On the 27th of June a gap opened between the German 3rd Panzer Army and it's neighbor the 4th Army with the Soviet 5th Guards Tank Army thrust into the gap, encircling and destroying the elite German 78th Infantry Division at Orsha with the 2nd Guards Tank Corps. At this junction Stavka revised it plans for the encirclement of Minsk by the north and south to a wider encirclement arc to the west of Minsk, thus placing the 5th Guards Tank Army as a blocking force west of Minsk, thus trapping the German 4th Army with its remnants moving west from Mogilev from 29 June to 4 July to attempt to reach the main line of German resistance.
