Voroshilovsk lies 30 miles cast of the Kuban; and about the same distance south of its great western bend, on a. line virtually with Armavir. The armored wedge being driven southward east of the Kuban ls narrowing dangerously. however. The Belaya Glinta-Blislizlntn line to which the Berlin claims referred ls approximately 150 miles in length. The Kuban-Vorshllovsk span is a bare 30 miles. It seems obvious ilizrt an attempt to widen the thrust either westward across the Kuban ur eastward from Voroshllovsk ‘musabe an progress. A Nari turn westward from Voroshilovsk against Armnvir. coupled with drives to cross the Kuban between that point and the bend. would seem the most probable move. It offers far more opportunity of dealing the Red army of the Caucasus a. smashing blow than would an eastward or further southward surge. Should Armavlr fall to Germans attacking from beyond the Kulmn to the east, the whole northwest corner of the Caucasus including: the Maikop field might be cut off to the Black Sea and its defending army trapped. It seems clear that desperate Russian attcmnts to hcld the Kublm below the bend must be made. even at the price of giving up more territory below Rostov and Kushnhevka.
