One thing I am not understand of this game is hw the supply and logistics work for units on front, its happening often that even if I am winning after a while I start lagging in supply and get beaten back .
how do you avoid your units get logistic issues?

Logistics - Hearts of Iron 4 Wiki
The wiki page goes over how logisitics and supply works.
Make sure your advances are designed to capture supply hubs (especially ones you have a rail network to!)
Make sure you motorise the supply hubs if you can afford it.
Don't stack too many units on a single province - a hub might be able to supply 10 supply to 10 provinces but it can't supply 100 to a single province!
Think about resting your advance once you capture a hub to allow the rails to be converted and the hub to start working for you.
There are so many unique cases you will probably need to post specifics if you want more help

Supply hub to cover a area.
Also cost wise, u can set ur units to use motorized supply, inst that expensive(requires 100~300 mot to cover 48 divisions).
- supply hub give "coverage", u connect them with railways.
- the motorized supply give a plus.
- i dont know precise numbers infra-structure impact, but zones with 0 infra and no supply coverage are deadly.
- railways improve the supply hub coverage.
but also have in mind:
- supply hubs are expensive(15 civs on a full infra region it take 4 months or more). the u should check if u can supply a area just by improving railways of nearest supply hub first.
- railways ins't so expensive as it seem at first sight.
- if u play a tipical german barbarrosa run, just don't atack everything without stoping. After 3~4 months if u are near caucasus/moscow, its worthy stop 4~6 months to army rest, and then ur improve the railways in that time.
which region u have difficult?

- attack along a railroad to capture a supply hub before stop, if you can't capture a hub then dont advance yet.
- Port is a quick supply hub to build.
- There is a big difference between supply and fuel. Fuel units will be useless without fuel. Strong infantry can continue to fight everywhere with CAS support so ready some for hard work.

Post a screenshot or save of a circumstance you need help with and that will give us much more context.Any help would be highly appreciated, thankyou
