INSURGENT FORCES NOW NEAR LUCENA DEL CID Republican Defenders Thrown Into Confusion
Baragossa, June 11.
All reports coming in from the Teruel and Castellon fronts speak, about vigorous efforts on the part of the insurgent forces to reach a decision in the present offensive.
Following a furious artillery barrage in the early hours of yes- terday morning, irurgent infantry on the Teruel front launched a big attack near Lucena del Cid. Powerfully supported by low-flying Warplanes and by numerous tank squadrons, they smashed their way through the enemy positions to a depth of nearly eight miles.
