Chinese Finally Regain Taierchwang
JAPANESE UNABLE TO DENY REPORTS OF NEW SUCCESSES
Relentless Pressure On Weary Invaders Ordered By China's Strategists
Shanghai, Apr. 4.
Official Chinese reports state that Chinese troops on Saturday night completely re-occupied Taierchwang, driving out the Japanese, who at one time held two-thirds of the town.
Another Chinese unit crossed the Grand Canal and occupied Hanchwang in a surprise attack.
The recapture of Taierehwang has indicated the effectiveness of the new mechanised units which are said to be superior to the "old-fashioned" Japanese tanks.
A Japanese'spokesman is said to have interpreted Chinese reports of the re-occupation of Taierehwang as an admission that the Chinese troops once lost the town. However, he admitted that he was unable to deny the report due to lack of information from the front. Untied Press.
