It will be more correct:
Orel /
Bogoroditzkoe /Orlovka / Ledna-Ost Airfield (base of I./ZG 1) /
Nikol'skoe / Orlitza / Rybnitza
To see the location of I./ZG 1 battle over Orel, You can use this link (sorry, but it is in Russian - I just dont know english webpages about this):

19th July - Red Army entered Orel.
Actually - I./ZG 1 had very hard fights over Bolhov area, many ground attack missions. Russian documents confirming heavy losses because of Bf110's low level attacks. Also, Gruppe had heavy losses in that missions:
Joachim Blechschmidt - Stab ./ZG 1 on 13 july NW from Bolhov, Wilfried Herrmann Stab I./ZG 1 over Krapivna... And then Franzisket...
