Massed British guns laid down a barrage early this morning when the German tank forces, supported by infartry, attempted to counterâ€"attack at one point along the gap driven into the El Alamein line by the Eighth army. It appeared from this vantage point on the baitle ground that the German armored forces are divided because of the necessity of meeting biows at many points along the front. The point was held by British and _ Australian troops which stood their ground while the arâ€" tillery dealt with the Germans. British tanks then came up and engaged the enemy‘s armored forces, forcing them to fall back from the battleground. _ As the battle for North Africa waged through its fourth day there was no word of a clash between main armored forces, but the cautious British advance through mines, barbed wire and fields and the navy fire was clearing a battleground for the expected test.
