Lunghai Railway Zone Flooded By Japanese
Chengchow, To-day. A large area extending along the Lunghai Line between Kaifeng and Lanfeng is now turned into a vast sheet of roaring waters, driving a continuous stream of refugees to flee west- ward to Chengchow, as a result of the Japanese breaking of the main Yellow River dykes north of the railway.
Rushing through the wide gaps in the dykes forc- ed open by Japanese artillery bombardment, the flood waters, further swelled by continu- ous downpours during the last few days, swept hundreds of houses and inundated thousand of acres of farms, to create a flood catastrophe unprecedented for many years.
Thousands of refugees, mostly [women and children, have now ar- rived in the vicinity of Chengchow,
