More than 100 civilians were killed and over 200 houses demolished as a result of the Japanese mass air raid over Chungking yesterday.
Eighty Japanese 'planes, flying in batches of 44, 27 and nine, participated in the raid and rained over 300 tombs on Various Parts of the city. Many of the bombs missed their objectives and fell into the Yangtze.
The first two batches, totali- ing 71 'p'unes, penetrated over Chungking almost simultan- eously at 12.50 p.m., while the third batch broke in shortly after 1 p.m.
The raiders were greeted with an
intense barrage of A.A. fire and were forced to break formation. One of the raiders was hit and believed tu be damaged.
Several big fires were start- ed by the bombing but they were promptly dealt with by fire fighters. Excellent service was also
rendered by the Anti-Air Raid Rescue Squads who were prompt in remov- ing the dead and rushing the wounded to hospitals.--Cen- tral News.
