Bil,
Excellent move. About flanks, you are absolutely correct that if you have sufficient power to keep on the move and compel the enemy to pull back, then flanks are (for a period of time) not very relevant. One has to know when those conditions exist, and when those conditions change. One of our two campaigns takes place outside of Warsaw where the Soviets had, up until then, not worried about flanks too much. They switched over to worrying a tad bit too late for the point of their spear.
In your situation you're doing the right thing, IMHO. This is classic Soviet exploitation. Bust a reasonable hole in the defense and then drive every bit of metal you have to a specific objective to the rear. Since this is a QB you know the only threats to this move are in the objective area itself and from whatever forces Elvis can shift from OBJ Blue. Which you're doing a decent job of thwarting, thanks to your ISU-122s and infantry.
In real life there would be more uncertainty. Though that sort of uncertainty didn't stop the Soviets from doing this sort of thing on a regular basis
