It would depend on the difficulty I suspect. On normal difficulty, I managed to grab Smolensk with 7th Panzer and Panzer-Lehr on turn 2 because the Soviets left gaps in the land bridge, and I managed to reach Lepel and Polotsk on turn 1 with Schmidt's corps.
On turn 3 I formed pockets with Manstein's corps and Schmidt's between Pskov, Vitebsk and Velikie Luki (taken on that turn), and I used the second half of PzGr 3 with a PzGr 2 corps to encircle everything to the west of Roslavl, to the south of Orsha and to the north of Rogachev. The remainder of PzGr 2 went south for Gomel and attempt a link-up with PzGr 1 at Chernigov, though that happened later - initially encircled the Pripyat by going southwest of Rechitsa.
The remaining turns were used to rest the infantry catching up and eliminating the big pockets formed; as well as forming another pocket of opportunity by eventually linking up at Chernigov. Afterward I started advancing Panzergroup 2 towards Bryansk from Gomel & Smolensk and half of PzGr 3 pressed on towards Vyazma/Moscow.
Turn 8 starting situation in the northern side of Army Group Center.
