DRIVEN HOME BY RUSSIANS

On Moscow Front and Elsewhere SOME LOST GROUND REGAINED RESISTANCE TO ENEMY TANKS IN ROSTOV (British Official Wifeless.) (Received This Day, 11.20 a.m.) RUGBY, November 24. A brief general review of the position on the Eastern front is given by the “Red Star,” which, describing the fighting at Rostov, says: “After crashing through the outer defences, enemy tanks and mechanised forces were met by anti-tank fire and turned into side streets, where their progress is challenged at every step by the defenders. “On the Moscow front, at VolokalamslZ, the German advance has been checked, in spite of a powerful tank drive. At Mojaisk, German reinforcements of tanks and infantry forced the defenders to retire to new positions. At Tula, the enemy pressure was met by stubborn resistance and the Russians under General Yermkov retreated slowly, trading blow for blow with the enemy. “Counter-attacking on the entire north-western front, the Red Army recaptured Malaya and Vichera, important stations on the Moscow-Leningrad railway line, where more than a thousand Germans were killed. The Soviet troops are not only mopping up the invaders, but are also assaulting another city on the same line.”
