PEKING, FEB. 23.
GRAPHIC DETAILS OF THE EBB AND FLOW! OF THE BATTLE WHICH IS STILL RAGING AT NANLING ARE RELATED IN OFFICIAL CHINESE DESPATCHES FROM THE COMMANDER OF THE CHINESE FORCES AT NANLING.
Fierce fighting went on all day yesterday, the Japanese throwing all their available forces into the battle in order to break down the determined Chinese resistance which is jeopardising the Japanese attempt to press forward to Peipao and Chaoyangfu.

All three cities have been subjected to intense aerial HONGKONG bombardment and the damage is reported to be con- siderable, with much loas of life among the civilian

The main attack on Chaoyangfu cannot be develop- ed until the capture of Nanling has been effected, but every attack on this centre has been repulsed with loss, the Japanese being outnumbered for the moment, though they are rushing strong, reinforcements from Chinchow.
Yesterday saw the bitterest fighting of the last three days. That a particularly heavy attack was coming was foreshadowed, state the official Chinese despatches, by a heavy aerial bombardment and steady shelling by the Japanese field-guns.
