Two main offensive operations now within 190 miles of Stalingrad and about 100 miles of Rostov were reported surging forward on the south front despite appauling losses due to point blank Russian artilery fire that piled up Axis men and machines. One German attack was iu the Doguchar sector just below the Don River bend to the east pointed to ward Stalingrad war industries on the Volga. The second was some where in the region of Voroshilov grad, 100 miles north of Rostov and headed for the gateway to the Caucasus where the Don circles back to the Donetz river and the Sea of Azov. At the same time the Xazis were forced to battle with perhaps 75,000 troops for the railway city of Voro nezh ten miles east of the Don on the northern sector of the southern ; front in order to protect their flank, j Russian dispatches said the enemy' was paying terrible prices for his ad-j vance to the outskirts of the city but i it was indicated that the assault ! was making progress. j On the Kalinan sector northwest j of Moscow, the Germans attacked !
