RAPID ADVANCE
ON ALL MAIN FRONTS SOVIET THREAT DEVELOPING IN SOUTH. SMASHING BLOWS STRUCK IN LENINGRAD AREA. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, February 2. Soviet forces battering forward on all main fronts in Russia are reported to be advancing at a quicker rate than Hitler’s army did last autumn. In the Ukraine, Marshal Timoshenko is flinging his left wing forward in an effort to cut off the Germans holding the coast. With the Russians also threatening to put a railway between Mariupol and Dnepropetrovsk there are indications of a vast Russian pincers movement with one end on the Sea of Azov and the other in the Crimea. Fierce fighting is reported at Kharkov. On the Leningrad front Moscow re-
ports that scores of blockhouses which were part of the enemy’s defence system were destroyed during yesterday’s fighting.
