LENINGRAD BATTLE
TIMOSHENKO IN COMMAND ARUSSIANS CROSS NEVA. ENEMY FORTIFICATIONS NARROWED. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) LONDON, January 14. In spite of heavy German counter-at-tacks, the Russians have established and are consolidating a bridgehead across the Neva River, over which fresh forces are now crossing under fighter cover, says the Stockholm correspondent of the “Daily Telegraph.” The Russians are using large forces of tanks and swarms of dive-bombers. The Russians, who are attempting to relieve Leningrad, ara using guns of equal calibre to those with which the Germans pounded Sebastopol to dust. The German fortifications round Leningrad are narrowest between Shlusselburg and the Sinyavino area, which is 12 miles south-east of Shlusselburg. The fortifications are 10 miles wide at Shlusselburg and 18 miles in the Sinyavino area. Reuter’s Moscow correspondent, confirming reports that Marshal Timoshfenko is commanding the Leningrad area, states that he has been there for at least one month.
