In the Caucasus fighting flamed along a l200-mi1e front, from Kras- nodar to Mineraliiye Vody. The German push southward was block- ed by a. stalwart Russian defence in the mountain spurs guarding the Black Sea ports of Novcrossisk and Tuapsc, but the main G-Bfmlill thrust had turlied eastward toward the Caspian and the Grozily oil fields and here the Soviets again were forced to give ground in one
