On 19 December, with the Italian lines disintegrating, ARMIR headquarters ordered the remnants of the Ravenna, Cosseria and Sforzesca divisions to withdraw to new lines. On 20 December, Italian rearguards covering the retreat were reported to be still fighting outside Stalingrad, according to German News Bureau (DNB, Deutsches Nachrichtenbüro). On 13 January 1943, the Russian Army launched the second stage of Operation Saturn. In the fighting, four armies from General Filipp Golikov's Voronezh Front overrun the Hungarian Second Army near Svoboda, forcing back the German 24th Army Corps, thus encircling the Italian Alpine Corps.
