RAF Resumes Day
Raids on Invasion
Coast in France
BY SIDNEY J. WILLIAMS

LONDON, July 81. CUP)-British
fighter and fighter bomber planes
resumed their daylight offensive
on northern France today.
Observers along tive southeast
coast saw a big mixed force of the
fighters and fighter bomberS re-
turning from the direction of Bou-
logne, which apparently was the
target center.
Bad weather kept the big British
bombing planes grounded during
the night but nine German planes
were shot down in minor raids on
the Midlands and scattered towns
in other area, in addition to any
which, damaged, crashed before they
got home.
1t was estimated that in three
raids this week, centering on the
Midlands, Germany had lost up tc
Is per cent of its planes to night
fighters and the secret new British
antiaircraft guns.
Aviation quarters emphasized also
that this high toll was taken by
British planes and guns not from

targets but from enemy craft dis.

MOSCOW, July 81 (UP) - A
stiffening Russian defense beat off
the concentrated m:gnt of the
German Army with increasing sue
cess today, and the Soviet noon
communique reported the crushing
of the greatest Nazi effort to cress
the Don in eight days
The communique acknowledged
only slight advance" by the
Germans IL to Is miles southwest
of Rostov and enemy losses were
enormous. 1t was emphasized, how
ever, that the peril to Russia was
not diminished, and the situation
might become worse at any hour.
1t was around Kletskaya, 70 miles
northwest of Stalingrad, that the
big German attack was crushed,
The Germans have been pouring
reinforcementS into their attempts
to forces the Don there for eight
days
The communique said the Ger
mans introduced a modern adap-
tation of the 18th century triang-
ular battering ram in a desperate
effort to accomplish their purpose.
The apex and sides Of the triangle
were formed of tanks and armored
cars Troops We're packed inside
the triangle.
FLANKS BREAK
The battering ram advanced. So
Wet artillery concentrated on the
apex, simultaneously show 6
shrapnel on the flanks' The flanks
broke, exposing the infantry to ma
chine guns and rifles. Then the
center of the triangle broke, the
Russians counterattacked and drove
the Germans back with heavy loss
es.
On one sector-it was not dis
closed whether it was where the

battering ram was broken - the
Germans lost 120 tanks and more
than 1000 men yesterday, the COM
munique asserted.
Last night our troops fought the
enemy in the region of VoroneZh,
as we'll as Tsimlyanskaya, south
and southeast of Bataisk and
southwest of Kletskaya," the COM
munique said. There were no
changes on other sectors"
HALF WAY MARK
Tsimlyanskaya is half way be-
tween Rostov and Stalingrad The
Germans have been trying to drive
across the Don there and at Klet-
ska%a, and catch the great bend
of the Don and Stalingrad, SO miles
beyond, in a great pincers.
Front-line dispatches reported
that an unparalleled battle" con-
tinued to rage along the 125-mile
front from Tsimlyanskaya to Ba-
task and that Russian resistance
was stiffening against continually
arriving enemy reinforcements.
The Soviet army organ said there
was considerable improvement on
one sector, although the situation
at Bataisk remained grave.
ATTACKS REPULSED
Southwest and south of Bataisk
our men repuSeG attacks by large
enemy forces supported by tanks
and a large number of planes" the
noon communique said. AT the cost
of the highest losses, the Germans
succeeded in advancing slightly"
On one sector in the Bataisk area,
the Russians managed to establish
a favorable defense line, counter
attacked and compelled the Ger
mans to throw in reserves, a dis
patch from the front said. Fierce
tank battles followed, and some
panzers penetrated Russian depth
defenses. Ignoring enormous loss
es," the Germans maintained their
pressure and the Russian had to
retire.
Other Soviet units in the Bataisk
