IN WINTER PEARS By Ilya Ehrenburg Soviet War Correspondent (Written for the United Press) With the Red Army on the West Bank of the Dnieper at the Kiev Front, Oct. 21 (U.R) Guerillas, including girls carry ing tommy guns, came out of the woods like ghosts to help the Red army break the Ger mans Dnieper river line. Before they could get to the Dnieper Itself, the Red army men had to fight their way across other rivers where the Germans were entrenched on the west banks ready to fire artillery and rockets at the Russian troops. I saw the crossing of the river Sozh near Gomel where the girls with the tommy guns and aged men guided the Red army troops to the places where the river could be forded. Boats Salvaged An old fisherman named Ko- valenko quietly led the troops to a place where seven boats had been sunk in the shallow water to hide them from the Germans Two of the boats were raised and used as ferries. The Red army men also tore gates off of hinges to make them into rafts and tied empty barrels together on which to float them selves across the stream. "The Sozh river is about ISO yards wide there," a soldier told me, "but under fire it seems to be 500 yards." Twenty-eight men made the first crossing of the Sozh and were charged with the duty of holding the bridge-head. They held it for three days. By the time, reinforcements arrived there were only seven survivors. When the Russians were get ting ready to try to force the Dnieper north of Kiev, a lieuten ant bawled through a mega phone:: "Smolensk has been captured." The sappers plunged in to try to throw bridges across the river. A bridge would go up and then German artillery would knock it down. But the bridge always went up again. Men were standing up to their necks in Ice cold water driving in poles to support the bridge. There was no night time there, for after dark the Germans fired rockets that lighted up the scene. Bridge Completed But at last the bridge was up and heavy artillery and tanks began to cross. The Germans fell into confusion when they saw Red army troops on the west bank. One German ran around a village crying: "The Russians are swarming like ants." Colonel General Goth, com mander of the German Fouth Tank army who was entrusted with the defense of Kiev, did not believe that the Russians would reach the Dnieper so soon and he also did not believe they would be able to cross the river. Under -Officer Imber of the Fourth German Tank division, said, after he was captured: "First we were told that the defense wall was on the Desna river. Then we were told that there was a Dnieper river wall. But it appears that no such wall exists. The soldiers say the waH retreats with us." Captured German officers told with indignation about how the Red army had crossed the Dnieper In some places without putting up pontoon bridges. They took the attitude that such action was contrary to the regulations of war. But our troops are well across the Dnieper now and tanks are going around the German flanks and dealing heavy blows in the enemy's rear. The people of Kiev can hear the roar of guns coming closer.
