FIRST ARMY
SET BACK BY
NAZI FORCES
' PARIS, Dtec. 18.—(AP>—Gen
eral Hodges’ First Army today
fought to blunt the greatest blow
struck against the American
troops in Europe, throwing hun
dreds of carefully conserved
planes and tanks, and many divi
sions, including parachutists, in a
winter counter-offensive.
Field Marshal Von Rundstedt’s
rejuvenated forces achieved a
penetration of several miles into
the American lines, and re-in
vaded Belgium in the Monschau
area, 16 miles south of Aachen,
re-entered Luxembourg and two
other points.
Today the Germans are pur
suing their advance along an 80
mile front.
This was a push by a strong
German armored column sup
ported by overnight artillery,
bombing and strafing warplanes,
striking savagely and bending
back the lines of doughboys.
Elsewhere along the lines, the
Germans were delivering stiff
blows aimed at seeking soft
spots.
There were signs, also, of im
pending German blows against
the Third Army, according to
dispatches, which said the heav
iest rail movements ever seen
behind the Third Army front, |
were observed yesterday.
