MOSCOW, Oct. l9—(2\1un1lay)—(Al'J—The Russians for the second successive day held firm Sunday against the smashing German drive in- side Stalingrad, killing about 2,500 enemy soldier..- and destroying 45 tanks in the two main areas, the soviet command reported today.

T111- major battle raged in the area of a factory, presumably the Red barricade gun works. in the northwestern part of the battered city, where the Germans previously 111111 driven a wedge into the Soviet dc-

fences.

The Sunday midnight communique said the Red Army repulsed all

attacks in this sector, disabling and burning 1'1 tanks, and killed about

1,000 German troops.

Another major action was in progress in an unidentified part of the city. where the Germans were said to have attacked repeatedly with strong infantry and tank forces supported by aircraft.

"In fighting on this sector,” the communique said, "our troops d1‘- stroyed 28 tanks, eight guns. 10 mortar batteries, 10 trucks and about three battalions (approxi- maieiy 1,500) enemy infantry."

The Russians sent fresh tanks and troops into the Stalingrad battle in an effort to press back the German wedge 1n the factory area, formerly one of the main soviet strongholds in the city. Most of the German tanks in this spearhead already were reported destroyed.
