The midnight communique announ ced the capture yesterday of IS rail road stations, district centers and other populated places in the lower Don and 40 inhabited places of vari ous size in the northern Caucasus. In the lower Don region, the Rus sians took two towns during the night, the noon communique said, and several towns and villages in the North Caucasus. The Germans threw tanks and ilo torized infantry into repeated coun ter attacks in the lower Don fighting during the night, only to have them utterly smashed, their men killed and their equipment destroyed, while the Russians, the noon communique said, swept on. The Russians threw Stormovik dive bomber planes into action in one Don sector where the Germans made an especially determined stand. The planes shrieked down, hurling bombs on the enemy field guns and trench moitars. Battery after battery was silenced. Massed Russian tanks fol lowed up the plane attack, destroyed eight remaining guns and captured the village which the enemy sought to hold. In another lower Don sector the Rur.sians stormed an inhabited place, name af the ailing Senator, Carter the one crippled transport, two cruisers and four destroyers which ! must be won.
