On this front the German plan of entrapment has been broken bv in one of which a village was recaptured and 4.500 Germans killed. At anoth- er point near Vyasma a German motorized unit was routed by counter-attack; at still another, the army newspaper, Red Star, estimated a firm Russian defence left 8,000 German dead on the field and wrecked 220 Nazi tanks in five days.
