An hungarian division lost o,UVU men-a third of its strength-the first day it attacked. The second day, the Hungarians lost 2,000 more.
 One hundred tanks supported the enemy in his first attacks, but failed to break Russian positions. On the second day, 47 tanks opened the at- tack on one sector, but ran into Q mine field, and many of them were blown up. Soviet artillery nailed those which managed to extricate themselves and tried to scuttle to the rear.
 Forty tanks attacked on another sector. Anti-tank guns knocked out seven of them and drove back the rest.
 Nevertheless, the Hungarian in- fantry continued to attack. Then the Russians took the initiative and threw a big force across to the west bank to support units holding tm- portant heights and villages.
 Crossing minefields, the Russians forced the enemy to retreat. Ad- vanced Russian artillery intercepted a motorized column of enemy rein | forcements and destroyed 40 truck loads of troops. When second col umn appeared, Russian guns knock ed off 24 more truckloads.
