I don't disagree. When I did the activity of running through the battles, I just wanted to get a handle on how different groups of troops were affected, so categorized them for easier reference.

as for surrendering I don't think that would be even an option after the beating the 5th gave out. i.e. stand and die or run.

IMO, easy to say, harder to see happening in 'reality'. People will do funny things when staring down the barrel of an AK / DShK / T55
I think many would attempt to surrender, given the choice of that or near-certain death. Surviving the surrender attempt is another matter entirely.
I do agree that, depending on how bloody-minded the Poles and Soviets were, a lot of 5 ID was going to depart the mortal coil on July 18...
