Reeling from the surprise German invasion, Russian commanders scrambled to stem the advancing tide. They ordered the 29th Tank Division to counterattack, which soon engaged German forces outside of Grodno on the morning of June 23rd. The intensity of the Russian attack initially threw back the German forces. They quickly regrouped, however, and launched an attack into the Russian flank. By the end of the day, the 29th Tank Division was nearly wiped out, but they had delayed the German advance.*
