MOSCOW,
June
27:
(CP)
The
Russian
armies
have
fallen
back
to
new
positions
on
Wilno
and
Baranowiczc
fronts
after
inflicting
heavy
defeat
on
the
German
columns
driving
toward
Minsk,
a
communique
said
today.
It
said
that
Russian
forces
withdrew
during
the
night
and
were
effectively
reformed
for
new
military
operations.
No
indication
was
given
of
the
depth
of
the
retirement.
The
communique
also
reported
punishing
raids
by
Red
air
forces
on
Bucharest,
Plocsti
and
the
Constanta
capital,
oil
industry
centre
and
the
chief
port
respectively
of
Rumania.
Throughout
yesterday
it
said
that
Russian
warplanes
without
cessation
slashed
at
the
Nazi
tank
columns
exacting
heavy
losses
in
the
Minsk
sector
which
the
Germans
were
attempting
to
bite
off
with
two
panzer
columns.
RUSSIAN
POSITION
BERLIN,
June
27:
(CP)-
The
Nazi
high
command
claimed
today
that
the
German
army
has
been
"victorious
on
all
fronts"
against
Russia
but
still
withheld
all
details
of
reported
progress
in
the
five
day
old
conflict.
The
war
bulletin
promised,
however,
that
a
scope
of
the
big
decisions
allegedly
won
by
the
Germans
will
be
known
shortly.
