PRESSING ON
RUSSIANS IN DON AREAS FOLLOWING ON CAPTURE OF KOTELNIKOVO. OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT IN MOSCOW. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 1.15 p.m.) RUGBY, December 29. A Russian special communique announcing the capture of Kotelnikovo said Soviet troops occupied the town and railway station on December 29. They captured large quantities of stores, including supplies and tank equipment, seventeen planes in good order and one train loaded with tanks. The booty is now being counted. “In the areas of the Middle and Central Don,” the communique adds, “our troops are continuing their offensive.” Kotelnikovo is 95 miles south-west of Stalingrad. Recently a German counter-attack through it met with gome success in an attempt to force a way through to the surrounded army before Stalingrad, but the Germans failed to hold up for long the Russian advance in the same area.
