ENTRY OF JAPANESE TOLD
Editorial Note:-The treaty port of Swatow fell to the Japanese on June 33, and, for more than two months since, the full story of the horror-alled days that followed the entry of the invaders into the city has remained untold.
From a Special Correspondent, who has been in Swatow since the invasion and who has had ample opportunity to observe conditions and to make notes, the Hongkong Dally Press has received the following detailed, dramatic document of events. The value of the account is the more enhanced because of the strict Japanese censorship, which the Correspondent, by taking a variety of pains, has managed to erade.
(By Special Correspondent)
The land, sea, and air attack on Swatow began on June 21. As some 15 or 16 trawlers landed the first Invading party at Mul Kai, Ha Ng, Fa Lau, and Ha Yuen, four coastal villages to the north-east of Swatow, the first alarms that the raiders had landed were sounded throughout Swatow and throughout the whole Swatow area as far as Chaochowfu. At 8.37 a.m. on June 21, the alarm was sounded at Chaochowfu "that warned the populace to evacuate and make for the interior.
The four villages where the Japanese landed are situated at between 22 and 27 11 from Swatow. At Mui Kal, noted for its fish hatcheries, the people of the adjoining countryside had gathered for the Dragon Boat Festival. With their mind removed from war to thought of the famous triangular cakes that came with the festival, they were the first to feel the invader. Taken by surprise, they paid with some 400 dead.
