Foe Held Back
Second Day in
Two Areas
BY HENRY c. CASSIDY,

MOSCOW Sunday, Sept. O.
Soviet Russian soldiers have
hurled back German attempts to
advance on Stalingrad by violent
assaults of infantrynen, tanks
and planes and the Russians are
holding their lines firmly before
the city, the Soviets announced
early today.
Masses of planes, tanks and troops
were hurled into the battle on the
sector southwest of Stalingrad, the
midnight communique said, but the
Soviet units firmly met the fresh
enemy onslaught.
Despite considerable numerical
superiority Germans failed to ad-
vance. Our artillery and trench
mortars decimated the enemy
ranks"
Thus the Germans were held back
for thu second straight day both
northwest and southwest of the city
on the Volga.
German news dispatches de-
clared more than 100000 Rus
sian troops, aided by thousands
of civilian volunteers, are defend
ing Stalingrad with bitterness
unmatched in this war.
Berlin military observers said
the Soviet resistance was so des-
perate that it was impossible to
predict how soon the city would
fall. Stalingrad's fate is sealed,
however, they insisted)
Fall Back in One Area.
Although holding in the Stalin-
grad area, the Russians acknoWl-
edged that their forces had fallen
back on the Novorossisk sector OF
the Northwest Caucasus after the
Germans brought up fresh reserves.
The Russians fighting northwest
of Stalingrad repulsed attack after
attack launched by the Germans
and in some sectors took the in
itiative.
The midnight cornmunique re-
ported that one formation III the
last few days has annihilated about
5000 German officers and men in
that area.
The Soviet armies defending Stall
fngrad in some of the bloodiest fight
ing of this war took firm stand
deep in the city's defense system
Friday and thus far have not re-
treated, Russian reports said.
An indication of the ferocity OF
the battle southwest of Stalingrad
was given in this communique de-
scription:
Mortar gunners of m unit main
tanned a fierce fire against a large
concentration of enemy forces and
wiped out 1900 German men and
officers. They destroyed II tanks
and 10 trucks with enemy infantry. "
Battalion Annihilated.
In the Mozdok area deep in the
Caucasus, the communique said,
Russian soldiers dislodged the Ger
mans from a populated place, an
INITIATED about battalion of Ger
man infantry and destroyed 13
trucks, six guns and pontoon
bridge over river (preumably the
Terek).
The Germans in the Mozdok Sec
tor are attempting to reach the
Grozny Oil fields.
On the western front, where the
Russians have been on the offen-
sive, the communique said Soviet
tanks have inflicted serious losses
on the enemy in some sectors.
"Twenty-six anti-tank guns, -four
machine guns, four anti-tank rifles
were destroyed and 103 blockhouseS
were smashed" it said. "The enemy
