IN FIERCE BATTLE FOR KREMENCHUG
Last German Fortress on Eastern Side of Dnieper WESTWARD DRIVE BEYOND SMOLENSK IMPORTANT CENTRE TAKEN ON APPROACH TO VITEBSK LONDON, September 29. A special order of the day from Marshal Stalin tonight announces another great Russian victory—the capture of Kremenchug, the Germans’ last fortress on the eastern side of the Dnieper. Russian troops, after a fierce battle, broke through the enemy resistance and captured the town. The victory is to be celebrated in Moscow by a salvo of guns. Kremenchug is a key railway junction and a busy industrial centre for the Ukrainian timber trade. Another order of the day by Marshal Stalin records the capture of a railway town between Smolensk and Vitebsk, 40 miles from the latter place. It is an important enemy communication centre and its capture cuts the defence system built up by the Germans round Vitebsk.
