Where Soviet Forces Will
Strike Next Pulling
Germans Now
(By Associated Press

The battle for the German strong-
hold of Orel has reached a blazing
climax as the Red Army fighting
the way through the streets of the
city have made a complete recon-
quest in the first major objective OF
1943 and signs of danger on other
exposed sections of the German
lines in Russia appeared immed-
lately.
The German Command announces
Orel was evacuated last night after
all stores had been removed and all
military factories methodically de-
stroyed. The German Command
claims the withdrawal was planned
for quite some time"
Where the Russians will strike
next, after eliminating the Orel
salient, remains a Soviet military
secret but no doubt the Red Army
will strike again as the Russian
forces edged forward on both sides
of the Kharkov salient and i'm
proves positions near Belgordo.
The Germans have begun to show
signs of uncertainty whether to
make defense around Smolensk
in the central or Moscow sector
The German communicate seid the
Russians have launched a series of
violent counter attacks against the
newly won German positions north
of Kuibyshevo on the Mus River
front but said every thrust was
thrown back with heavy losses.
The communique said the Soviets
were also continuing attacks on the
middle of the Donets River in the
Belgorod area.
