MORE GAINS
MADE BY THE RUSSIANS SOUTH-WEST OF STALINGRAD. APPROACH TO THE DONETZ. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 9.55 a.m.) RUGBY, December 28. Further important gains between Kotelnikovo and the Stalingrad pocket were made by the Russians yesterday, when they took positions in and near the south-east angle of the Don bend. Here they are twelve and twenty miles north-east of Kotelnikovo. The Germans presumably still hold the area inside the bend, south of the River Chir, and therefore may still be only 40 miles from their besieged army, but if so their rear is now gravely threatened by the Russian advance towards the Lower Don, which has reached a point 33 miles north of Tsymlyanskaya. The Russians approaching the Donetz appear to be along a line about twenty miles from that river, stretching from north to east of Kamenskaya. It is thought that they are now mopping up pockets of resistance between the Middle Don and the Lower Don and Donetz.
