THE CHINA MAIL, NOVEMBER 15, 1939
JAPANESE LAND NEAR PAKHOI
Kwong Chow Wan, To-day.
A FORCE OF ABOUT 500 Japanese troops and marines landed at dawn to-day, some distance north-west of Pakhoi, according to brief messages received here shortly before noon.
Later messages add that there was little fighting as the landing apparently came as a complete surprise to the Chinese coastal guards who did not anticipate that the Japanese would. venture a landing in the rough wea- ther now prevailing.
Following the landing of the Arst batch, more troops were sent ashore from the Japanese transports which have been in the vicinity for al- most a week, and it is estimated that: between 1,000 and 2,000 Japanese troops are taking part in the opera- tion,
PRINTING
INK THEFT
The Japanese are reported to be . Chan Ng, 26, ink maker, and Chari proceeding in two directions-one | Muk-wing, 42, unemployed, were section towards Pakhoi and the charged at the Central Magistracy be- other towards Yamchowfu.
NO RESISTANCE YET There is no sign yet of organised Chinese resistance, and the invaders are expected to reach Pakhoi this evening, and Yamchow to-morrow afternoon.
Japanese planes are co-operating in spite of lowlying clouds but no reports of any bombing have been received.
The French authorities are doubl- ing guards along the frontier to cope with a possible rush of refugees from -Chinese territory.
Apparently, villagers in the Chin- ese territory north-west of this port, have not yet heard of the landing, for there are as yet no signs of re- fugees. Our Own Correspondent.
