"lets go home for Christmas" in 41 winter?

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

I don't know wonder whether AI has infinite APs at its disposal

It does. You can see this in action very quickly in the Road to Leningrad scenario, where the Sov AI will man the Finnish Stop Line east of the Volkhov with a full array of Fortified Regions in a single turn. A Sov Human player with a 400% admin bonus can't even build half of those units.

I suspected that. I'm playing Blau against the Soviet AI on challenging and my advance on the Don Bend is like ploughing through a mass of zombies.

Against the AI this seems to have worked fairly well.
The AI advanced up to the german border with the bulk of its forces leaving the railheads far away behind them. They started to get slaughtered on March and so far the Panzerfest is continuing with good weather coming.
 
I don't think a human player would have followed the Germans in force that far. A cavalry curtain to cut the rails would be enough IMO, while the rest of the army would fortify and organise strong defensive lines. This still leaves the intact axis forces to deal with.
