HEAVY FIGHTING
EFFECTIVE RUSSIAN COUNTER=ATTACKS IN KLIN & VOLOKOLAMSK AREAS. SOVIET RETAKES VILLAGES IN SOUTH. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.15 p.m.) LONDON, November 30. The Germans claim to have captured Klin and Volokalamsk remains unconfirmed. The latest Russian dispatches from the front state that the Germans in the Klin and Volokalamsk directions tried to drive wedges into the Soviet line, but the Soviet troops coun-ter-attacked and prevented the enemy surrounding or dislodging any Russian units. After four days’ fighting the Germans were flung back from the town of K, in the Stalinogorsk area. The Germans, in attempting to seize the town, threw forward a large force of tanks and motorised infantry, hoping to surprise the Red Army. Russian cavalry, supported by tanks, attacked the Germans while on the march and forced them to retreat and pass to the defensive. Heavy Luftwaffe attacks failed to check the Russian cavalry, which, supported by fighter planes, cleared the Germans from, fourteen villages. Fighting is proceeding near K. The enemy is at present bringing up reserves and concentrating tanks.
