New Advances Won Iri Fierce Fighting; Americans Gain Three Miles, While Eighth Array Passes Sangro Ridge Allied Headquarters, Algtan, Dee. 1. —Under the heaviest tactical airsupport of the entire Italian campaign, the British Eighth Army smashed fallen S«mgro ridge today wife the American troope ot the Fifth Army fought forward thiee miles in the central sector, pn—flhly heralding the start of an "all out" Allied drive on Rome. - «•? At every point the Germans fought with desperation to stem the aft ark Despite the demoralising onslaught by hundreds of Allied fighters, fighter-bombers and bombers, the'enemy troops clung to their positions until they were killed or captured in bloody hand-to-hand fighting. An Allied communique described Nazi losses as "very heavy." Counterattacks Stemmed "The Germans are offering very fierce resistance for every inch of ground," a military commentator said. He predicted they would make violent efforts to retake Sangro ridge, the powerful eastern anchor of their winter Una from which Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgomery's British, Indian and New Zealand infantry drove them yesterday altar 48 hours of heavy, continuous fighting. Already the Eighth Army had beaten off several determined Nasi counterattacks as it fought up the Adriatic coastal plain toward the important seaport of Pescara, only about 20 miles away. One enemy counterattack oat off a position of Montgomery's spearhead that captured the town of Mosaagrogna, bat fresh British units sprang forward to effect a rescue. Enemy casualties mounted swiftly as low-flying Allied fighter-bombers carved a path for Montgomery's charging: troops by blasting Genman concrete fortifications to bits. Eighth Army infantry methodically wiped out enemy strongpmnts that had been by-passed and encircled. The three-mile American advance west of Montaquila, hacked oat through elaborate Nazi defense*, enabled Lt. Gen. Mark W. Clark to straighten out his Fifth Army lines and gained new valuable high ground for observation toward Caaaino and a broad valley running thense to Rome. Both land mines and barbed-wire entanglements were employed an. a lavish soale by the enemy in an attempt to halt the Americans hen, bat Clark's Salerno veterans clawed their way through. J ; | Booga Falls To I Allies b Recenii | New Guinea Drive Establish New Positions At Mouth of Kalueng River on the South Bank Southwest Pacific Allied Headquarters, Dec. .1—The faH of Bongs, seaward anchor of the main Jspaanra* supply line oo Huon Peninsula, New Guinea, to AnrttaMsa troops was announced Wednesday by General Douglas McArthur. » Allied troops moving up the northeastern coast from ISnschhafen, occupied Bonga November 29 without opposition and also took the village of Gusika and established ons at the mouth of Kalaeng on the south bank. They were obliged, however, to wipe out enemy opposition before reaching the river. The coastal advance developed into one prong of a pincer movement, with the captors of Bonga moving westward along the south bank of the Kalueng River towand Wareo, which is the objective-of another Allied force pushing northward from Safctelberg in the interior. Allied naval and air units helped the ground forces in the Bonga occupation, the planes bombing Japanese aviation facilities at Gape Gloucester, western-most point of New Britain Island which is east of Huon Peninsula, and light warships bombarding the Sk> enemy plane and barge area to the north of Bonga. Twenty-nine Mitchcell and Marauder medium bombers with an escort of 12 Airacobra fighters dropped 46 tons of bombs on the Gape Gloucester air ships and supply dumps, setting fires and pinning potential aerial aid to the Huon Japanese to the ground. It was the first time that light warships, in this case probably destroyers, had ventured up the Vitiaz Strait to Sio. The attack was staged the night of November IVUL ctftn. Japanese forward positions around Empress Augusta Bay at Bougainville Island, in the northern Sotomons, were pasted by six- Mitchell bombers as an aid to Marines and soldiers whose efforts to widen the beachhead established there Novem- , her 1 have met stiff opposition from the jungle-hidden enemy. .
