Street Fighting Rages In Rostov
Drawing Nearer T© Kursk, Kharkov And Byelgorod (New Zealand Press Association.—Copyright.— Rec. 12.30 i?.m.) LONDON, February 7. As street fighting rages in Rostov and the Germans in the Caucasus are apparently "in the bag," the Red Army's relentless advance against Hitler's central bastions forges ahead. The Russians have considerably lessened the distances separating them from Kursk, Kharkov and Byelgorod, and are now 90 miles from the Dnieper, where the Germans are expected to attempt a stand. Moscow correspondents say the Russians have deepened the wedge in the German lines south of Kharkov. Their occupation of Barvenkovo by a column which advanced 24 miles in 24 hours has cut the railway which the Germans, after their loss of the north and south lines linking.Kharkov with the Don Basin, have been extensively using to support their forces on the Donetz.
