Hendaye, Sept. 11. torrential rains, which had halted fighting for two days, Nationalist troops took the initiative on the Ebro front today, Nationalist reports from Zaragoza said.
Nationalist bombers heavily bombed the Republicans on the right bank of the Ebro River, the communication centres in the rear and Republican trenches at Notres and Corbera, the Nationalists said.
The Republicans later heavily fortified both sectors in an effort to paralyze a Nationalist infantry advance but Nationalist bombers forced isolated Republican units to retreat, the Nationalists claimed. Nationalists were reported to have captured Hills 365, 389, and 401 as well as five lines of Republican trenches during yesterday's fighting.
