OUR Bth ARMY AGAIN Unleashed For Further HEAVY FIGHTING
The Bth Army is into the ring for the last round.
Preceded by an intense bombardment by 650 Fortresses and Liberators, as Well as by a large force of medium bombers and fighters, the Bth have crossed the river Senio north of the main highway.
The river barrier was a formidable one and heavy fighting is now going on over minefields and flooded canals.
This offensive ends the big period during which this good fighting force has been employed in a holding role and which has not been an easy part and staff officials pay a tribute to its value in occupying, the attention of large German forces.
On the sth Army front, our forces are now about 25 miles from the naval base of Spezia.
