Russians Counter-Attack

MOSCOW--Russian storm troops were reported tonight to be surging through crumbled German defenses along a 300-mile front before Moscow, recapturing 17 villages, decimating Nazi ranks, and easing the pressure on besieged Leningrad.

Official reports to government and Red Army organs indicated that a full scale counter-offensive was developing from the Novgorod area north of Lake Ilmen to the Desna River south of Smolensk.
