MOSCOW. Aug. 17. IU.P'—Five Rus-
sian columns accelerated converging
drives toward the big German bas"
at Brvansk today, liberating towns and
villages at the rate of five an hour,
but h avy enemy counter attacks slow -
ed Soviet progress in the Ukraine
Smashing along the Orel-Brynn.sk
railroad in a frontal assault, the main
Soviet column was only 18 miles from
Bryansk after capturing Malyeluki in
an eight-mile advance from the de-
fense outpost of Karachev.
Another force nearly 60 mtlra due
north of Bryansk was threatening to
outflank the German D sna river line,
where the Axis forces are expected
to make their final stand before the
central front bastion
Massiv° blows from thus column
drove three battered German Panjft
divisions equipped with .self-propelled
guns back beyond Deglrevo. only 14
miles from Kirov junction on th* Bry-
ansk-Vyazma line Further Soviet pro-
gress would place the entire German
positions on the- Desna in Jeopardy.
Other Russian columns were 22 miles
north of Bryansk midway between the
railroads to Arel and Moscow, 27 miles
northeast along the railroad to Mos-
cow and 27 miles southeast
German reserv s. backed by strong
force; of tanks and planes, were coun-
ter-attacking In Kharkov and before
Poltava in the Unralne with ever-in-
creasing fury In an attempt to halt
th" Russian advance short of the Dnie-
per river . .
Soviet detachments on on sector oi
the Poltava front, however, stormed
across a river and captured two viT-
lages and on another, seiz'd “favor-
able positions" after killing 600 of the
enemy in a fierce battle.
The situation in Kharkov itself was
abscure. At last reports the Russians
w re in the northern and eastern su-
burbs. but lack of further news In-
dicated they were meeting stubborn
opposition as they sought to reach the
center of Russia's fourth largest city
More than 130 towns and villages

to nine miles toward Bryansk yester-
day. including the fortress of Zhizdra
40 mIlea to the northeast. Sudimir. 32
miles to the northeast and Buyano-
vlchl. 24 miles to the northeast
Zhizdra. from the which the G< r-
mans attempted an abortive offensive
this spring, was captured by the Rus-
sians at 4 30 a m yesterday after an
all-night street battle In which 1.200
enemy troops wire killed and 11 Ger-
man tanks were wrecked
Retreating, the Germans again
scorched the earth by destroying the
town Flaming villages and dynamit-
ed roads marked their route of retreat
Expanding their brenk-through on
the Spas Demensk front. 80 miles north
of Brvansk. the Ruslans advanced
five to 7‘j miles yesterday and cap-
tured more than 30 villages. Including
Tesrkovschlna. 10 miles to the south-
west
Here too, the Germans were counter-
attacking with fresh reserves, but with-
out halting the advancing Russian
columns During two days fighting In
one sector. 3.000 Germans were killed
and 26 guns and 16 tanks destroyed
One thousand men were killed and 10
tanks disabled In a neighboring sector
The capture of Karachev. 25 miles
fast of Bryansk, was revealed to have
brought the Russians 45 tanks. L.
planes. 87 field guns. 13 self-propelled
guns. 6.500 rifles and assorted other
arms and supplies ,
