 With Allied Army on the Tebouf. ba Front, December 1. = CDelayed) = gUp) - Fresh American and British infantry and tank forces drove into battle against the Ger. mans iB miles west of Tinis At dawn today.
 This dispatch, delayed In trans. mission from North Africa, appar. cntly referred to the first German counte-attacks against Allied posi-. tions in the Tebourba area)
 They drove Q three -pronged as- sault against the enemy after Ger man machine guns, heavy mortars and dive-bombers bad repulsed @ series of comparatively light Allied blows.
 The Germans held cleverly com cealed positions on the hilltops sur rounding the battle area, but 1t was believed the Allies had massed enough men and material to over whelm them. The German positions consisted chiefly of machine gun nests hidden in clumps Of cactus, supported by mortars placed farther back.
 Although there was not 6 great number of German soldiers in the field. they were heavily equipped. Their operations were helped greatly by the German air force, which lashed Allied positions almost with. out opposition except from anti-air- craft batteries. The enemy planes were strafing roads and making movements of food and supplies by daylight difficut.
 talked with a lieutenant of Q famous British regiment who led his company against German positions on a ridge southwest of Tebourba. The lieutenant related how he had led an advance last Saturday at dusk, thinking the Germans had abandoned their positions and retired over the ridge into small valley.
 Suddenly" he said, "the Germans opened up from 70 or 50, feet with machine guns. 1t seemed they were firing thousands of bullets. We had to fall back.
 we had intended clearing Q Ger man 88-millimeter gun so that American tanks could go through. Four tanks following us were knocked out and the others had withdrawn"
 The regiment attacked again on Sunday but once more was met with whitening fire, suffering numerous casualties.
 But in their second attack, they silenced the German anti-tank gun, killing about 40 enemy troops.
