Focused on Zhlobin, the concen-
tric push by Gen. Konstantin Roko-
Sovsky carried the battle for thai
key railroad junction into its final
stage. The town already was under
Soviet artillery fire.
The Russians were battering
slowly but steadily across the
swamps against German resistance
stiffened by the necessity Of holding
open the zhlobin gap for the escape
of the garrison drive from Gomel.
The Germans we're making a

Confidence
Russian confidence In the early
collapse of the German counter
offensive west of Kiev and resump-
ton of the Soviet drive toward the
pre-war Polish border was based on
the unbroken flow Of Soviet REIN
forcements of men and machines
across the Dniper, through Kiev to
the threatened front.
Dispatches from Kiev said Run
sian tanks and infantry were
swarming ceaselessly across pontoon
bridges over the Dnieper alongside
the dynamited old railroad spans.
At least one new railway bridge
has been placed in operation.
With the re-capture Of Korosten,
the Germans regained control of a

Is miles north of Korosten, and
west Of Gomel.
Russian Drive
The Russian drive up the west
bank of the Dnieper within artillery
range of Zhlobin, White Russian
railroad junction through which
tens of thousands of Germans were
racing to escape the closing jaws
OF Soviet trap, engulfed more
towns and villages yesterday. More
than 1000 Germans were killed.
At the base of the German pocket
above Gomel, the Russians captured
six localities in a frontal advance
on Zhlobin. Fifteen German coun-
ter-attacks were repulsed and $500
Germans were killed.
Southeast of Kiev, the Russians
dislodged the Germans fraom a
heavily-fortified position near Cher
kasi and seized a number of vii
lagos southwest of Kremenchug.
Deep in the Dnieper Bend, the
Soviets beat off German counter
attacks and improved their own
positions.
