Greeks Smashing Koritza Defences: Bayonet
Attacks
WITH BAYONET AND HAND GRENADE, GREEK EVZONES (KILTED TROOPS) ARE REPORTED IN ATHENS TO BE SMASHING THE ITALIAN DEFENCES RINGING KORITZA, IN ALBANIA.
The fall of Koritza would not only upset Italy's
's strategic plans but would be bound to have an important effect on the morale of the Albanians, already restless under the Italian yoke.
At the other end of the front Greek bomb- ers yesterday successfully attacked Argyro- castron, the base which feeds Italy's drive into the coastal area of Epirus.
The encirclement of a con- siderable Italian force operating on the central front is said to be proceeding in accordance with plan.
Elsewhere it is understood that
all recent Greek gains have been held.
