The Russians flee the battle and gain an operational victory?

[lynxrattle]

My problem is no matter how I play the first battles in the Grand Campaign I always lose operationally, because the russians flee the battlefield before my tanks are able to roll over to the victory locations even though I run them there as fast as I can without even stopping to shoot at the enemy. As a consequence I don't get any promotion points. Is there something I can do?

Yes, i have a serious problem with russians fleeing in all the scenarios too, they die in droves and then flee and this happens for me in all the scenarios early and late war
