Yes, there were many such cases. but I can't say they were just young soldier. This division was equipped by the staff from reserve, so there could be older soldiers.
But initially operability of this division was close to zero.

>Other thing there was discovered a mass grave with Russian soldiers in the area of battle, and these buried could be killed during the combat. The almost 11.000 killed and died of wounds several months after the battle had to be buried in these areas (near or far from war zome).

Overall losses of Soviets were less than 10,000.
