Japanese Retire After Two-day Battle At Taikongling
Heavy Fighting Along The West River Front
(FROM OUR OWN CURRESPONDENT) CHUNGSHAN, Fed. 5——A two-day hattle between Chinese and Japanese forces at Talkongling, about 35 miles north of Canton, east of the Canton-Hankow Railway, resulted in the repulsion of the enemy, who were forced to retire southward to Shenkong.
The Japanese left behind scores of dead, while a Chinese non-commissioned officer was klied. Protected by artillery fire, the Japanese infantrymen launched a violent attack on Talkong- ling sa February 1 from Minfeng, according to a communique of the 4th Route Army.
The Chinese left flank was hard
pressed but succeeded eventually in SPLENDID
repelling the Japanese.
