(AP) French patriots have defeated German tank attacks in ambushes and are continuing successful warfare against the foe, the Supreme Command said today in a com- munique from an advanced command post. Patriot forces annihilated a German convoy of 116 trucks in tire Saone-Et-Loire department, the bulletin declared. The German attacks aimed at liquidating Maquis areas have taken the form of raids by armored columns, it added, but since July 15 the French forces of the interior have repelled such attempts. In Normandy and other areas enemy lines of communication have been disorganized by blows against railway systems.

In the Pryenees, resistance forces attacked a' column of armored cars and artillery so successfully the Germans were "forced to bring up reinforcements in order -to avoid complete the communique itrlnrpri. r-j 'h- -J. BULLETIN: LONDON, July 27. (AP) The Moscow radio said tonight that Russian troops had broken into the great fortress city of Brest Litovsk, a short time after the Germans announced the evacuation of the bastion of Bialystok, 110 miles northeast of Warsaw. Brest Litorsk is 110 miles east of Warsaw and 80 miles southeast of Bialystok.

Both cities were crucial defense points along a line which the Germans had strengthened over several years. Both had been bypassed and besieged for about two weeks. The fall of both, following the announced Red army crossing of the Vistula river 57 to 65 miles southeast of Warsaw, would indicate a virtual collapse of the German central front. Warsaw, a guardian city to German soil, was under concentric threat from the soulh, northeast and east. The Berlin radio said defense lines in the Brest Litovsk area were taken back "under massed pressure of th enemy" and Moscow reported street fighting tnv the city of 50,000.

The Germans said a. great tank battle was developing on the level plains around the Vistula river bridgeheads the same flat terrain that stretches without break 140 miles to German Silesia.
