The 256th and the 1st had to have really beaten the snot out of the 124th - by the end of the battle all they had left was 3000 men and 6 tanks

"A Soviet captain from the 124th Motor Rifle Division is still stunned from the beating his division took from the 1st Brigade. He just keeps shaking his head and cursing "Those damned
M1's!" He commanded a battalion of twelve tanks, and his whole battalion was wiped out in the first ten minutes of the battle."

The description of that force shows just how badly they were handled by the two US brigades and that they must have lost a lot of tanks between the two fights

Soviet 124th Motorized Rifle Division: Commanded by Major R. B. Bologov. The division took very heavy casualties the previous day, including the three highest ranking officers in the
division. Current effective strength is 3,000 men and 6 tanks, but they are scattered and very short of ammunition and fuel (most of their forward supply vehicles have been destroyed).
Small groups of troops were reorganizing and trying to hold athin line astride the Sieradz-Kalisz road, but this line has been shattered by the final breakout attacks. There are other pockets
of troops in Sieradz, Zloczew, and the woods west of Zloczew. The woods east of Zloczew contain several hundred stragglers from the division. The woods southeast of Zloczew are also full
of demoralized stragglers. None of the small groups reorganizing have more than 200 men and a tank or two. Major Bologov has his headquarters in Sieradz and is collecting stragglers as
they try to cross the bridge. He has assembled about 300 men there. The supply dump and rear echelon hub of the division is at Piotrkow. There are about 200 men there from the division.
Morale is very low and most of the men are not prepared to put up any sort of a stiff fight.
