Inflict Losses and ye To Hold Initiative on All Fronts.

By DAVID M. NICHOL

MOSCOW, Dec. 29.—Behind the | actual success of the Red army’s series of offensives, which are now in their seventh week, lies the even more significant fact that the Soviet forces have demonstrated their ability to strike where and when best suits their program. No sector of the entire front from Leningrad to the Nazis’ southernmost Caucasus penetration can be described as quiet aw i while only the region around Leningrad can be designated as even relatively stable. Every other important sector has , felt the weight of Russian army offensives since mid-November. A newly decorated hero of the Mr Nichol Soviet union, Lieut. ‘Col. Azi -Asla~nov, stressing the importance of flank blows equally as surprise moves and because panzer armor ig lightest on the sides, relates the story of an engagement which presumably occurred during the fierce fighting southwest of Stalingrad.

Soviets Spring Trap

Nazi panzers, seeking to cut off the advancing Soviet infantry, headed for a commanding height. Aslanov’s tank unit, well camouflaged, previously had taken a position in a ravine to the side of the panzers’ probable ‘course. , Fire was held until the range was only 100 yards, then the panzers received a devastating blow, The Germans hastily regrouped for an attack on the Soviet tanks in the ravine but no sooner had they begun the assault than they found a new direction had placed other Soviet tanks again on their flanks. The engagement ended in the rout of the Germans, according to Ashlanov’s account in Pravda (Communist party organ). This was not unlike what" has] been happening to the German | forces on a larger scale along the { whole front. The winter offensives date from Nov. 11 when the Nazis, after being checked at Mozdok in an. attempt to reach the Grozny oilfields on the Caspian sea, turned south and were heavily defeated at Ordzhonikidze, {a central Caucasus city which is now more frequently designated by |its former proud title, Vladikavkaz, | (ruler of the Caucasus.)

Check Nazi Thrusts

| | This offensive was important but of limited scope. It ended the Nazis’ southward drive for the winter and cut off any hope of their reaching the military road over the mountains south to Tiflis. Two other Caucasus thrusts previously were checked in the mountains northeast of Tuapse and in the Black sea port of Novorossisk. The next big blow was delivered in the Stalingrad region on Nov. 19 when the Russian army began drives from south and northwest which first cut off the only two remaining railroads to the attacking Nazis and a few days later closed the ring around some 22 Nazi divisions. The offensive came to a virtual halt after apparently completing just what it was intended to accomplish, While the Stalingrad offensive was still going on, the Soviet army: dealt the Germans another big blow, | on Nov. 25, almost 700 miles northwest in the Rzhev-Velikie Luki region, cutting the railroads south and east of Rzhev and severing all Velikie Luki rail communication. Their hope for Caucasus success apparently blasted, the Nazis, meanwhile, withdrew their troops from the south in an effort to relieve the units encircled in the Stalingrad area. At first they advanced successfully but have been beaten back now and the Russian army apparently has not only regained lost territory but has reconquered new villages. : Start Own Offensive While this attack was still under way, the Russian army began a twin offensive in the middle Don, which shows the greatest promise of these battles so far as regaining territory and destroying enemy personnel “and equipment, are concerned. The a. rmy organ, Red Star, says the battles have demonstrated the feasibility of tank maneuvers on a scale previously believed impossible during winter fighting. The Russian army’s next move was a blow at the weakened Caucasus front beginning on Dec. 22. The drive has already succeeded in the capture of Alagir, which is at the beginning of the second transCaucasian military road leading to Kutas. Farther west in the region of Tuapse, the Nazis have been dislodged, meanwhile, from a series of heights in a local offensive. There is no way of telling where
