GERMAN CAVALRY
USED ON DON FRONT SPEEDILY PUT TO FLIGHT BY TANKS. STREET FIGHTING IN RZHEV. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 9.50 a.m.) RUGBY, August 28. Trying to wrest the initiative from the Russians the Germans threw cavalry into the Kletskaya battle, for the first time in the fighting on the southern front but the horsemen refused to face the Russian tanks and fled as the iron monsters advanced. The Red Army is pressing hard upon the enemy at many points in this area. The “Red Star” states that improved weather is making conditions favourable to large-scale tank and air operations . The German resistance is stubborn, reserves from other sectors having been brought in. General Leluishenko continues to grind the German defences in the suburbs of Rzhev, positions street by street and house by house. Fighting is raging m several areas round Rzhev, as the Germans dislodged from Zubksov try to hold new positions, with the support of masses of artillery and many planes.
