Fortunately, it's not your job to wony about the dreadful strategic situation which has got you into this position. All you need concern yourself with is getting your panzers to Lisyanki as fast as you can. Thatwon't be enough to win unless you've killed plenty of Russians and kept most of your own troops alive. 1st and 17th Pz should be used to keep a corridor open through which 16th Pz can drive on Lisyanki with minimum interference. The Russians receive plenty of armoured reinforcements and you'll need all your strength to deal I with them. Ifyou can capture Dzhurzhentsy and/or Khizhintsyby game's end, you'll not only win but also be responsible for liberating Gruppe Stemmermanl RUSSIA.
