RAPID PROGRESS
MADE BY THE RUSSIANS ON WIDE FRONT IN AREA WEST OF MOSCOW. DEEP PENTRATION OF NAZI FLANK. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 9.25 a.m.) RUGBY, December 17. Russian statements show that their advance continues on a wide front, not only north-west and south of Moscow, but also westwards from the capital. The deep Russian penetration on the left flank of the German position before Moscow is indicated by an overnight Moscow communique which announced the recapture of Vysokoie, 50 miles south-west of Kalinin. Sixteen German aircraft were destroyed on December 15, for the loss of four Russian machines. On the same day the Soviet Air Force destroyed 43 tanks, 3 armoured cars, more than 640 lorries, with troops and ammunition, 4 field guns, 6 machine-guns, over 130 ammunition lorries and 2 petrol containers, and dispersed two infantry regiments.
