Argyrokastron was captur»d shortly

j ctormed the last Italian stronghold,
in the center of town
i The ItaUa'ns. mostly from the sec-
ond Bersaglieri division, used heavy
tanks to block the nar.ow streets Th-’
Greeks fought their vny from house

mad men. pushing rif e butts into
treads on the tank runners, or drop-

and pushing grenades through the
gunners' leokout slots.
Anti-tank units helped shell the
Italians f;om barricaded tuildings.
, Tlie assault began at oawn and

the surrounding ni ls flashed vicious-
ly in the half-darkness signaling the
battle The shells fell around a solid-
locking mosque on the out skirt', where
the Ita. tans held the main roaa
under control. Fiv" shells landed
dead on the target and the doomed
roof collapsed like a cracked egg
