What does RNG actually means?

I suppose it should be range, but

For me, this is range. In meters?

Yards AFAIR
In a battle you'll have combat phases where the attacker moves closer to the enemy and later on moves back/withdraws (if attack turns bad I asusme).
I asume RNG is the distance of their last shot

So if the attacker advances to, I dunno, 8000 yards, and then retreats to 20000, the halt range will be 20000 like in the screenshot?

According to the manual:

“If the defender won the battle then the report will include a halt range to show the last range where elements fired at each other.“

That must be the 20000, but which elements?

I think in this case, what you had happen was the initial bombard phase by indirect weapons happened. It was mostly at extreme range with a few mortars adding in. Then it shifted to the normal rounds of combat that leads to direct fire and immediately kicked out at the max range of 20k. The artillery pre-battle phase was added in WitE2 and we didn't think to adjust this 20k max range limit to when combat can be called off. So I think this is really just indicative of the fact that the battle was 100% artillery exchanges with no other fighting. Once all that artillery opened up someone got wind of the fact that there were a ton of Soviets defenders and called off the attack.
