for repeated onslaughts falled to capture any of the prized objectives along the south Shantung front, the spokesman said.
Having failed to push through to the Lunghai line first by a northward the and then a southward drive, Japanese are now in the midst of an ambitious pincer movement from both directions, and 5 they are far from their goal, he went on.
The toetics of the enemy, accord- Ing to the spokesman, are to draw the main force of the Chinese army to points along the Tientsin-Pukow line pitched and there engage it in a battle. The Chinese however, have all distributed strong units along fronts, and in south Shans! a vigorous counter-attack has begun.
The spokesman believes the enemy command is now experiencing shortage of manpower.
Admits Position
"It is thus clear," he said, "that although the situation along the Tientsin-Pukow railway front lo tense, the Japanese army is at a great disadvantage when the war is viewed in its entirety.
Even if the Japanese objective, Hsuchow, were achieved, the omeer believed the invaders would encounter even more difficulties than they had before as the co-ordination of Chinese mobile and guerilla operations would mean fresh disasters with the further advance of the invaders.
The officer pointed out that when the Japanese gained complete control of the Tatung-Puchaw Railway, un- informed quarters were greatly upset for fear the invaders might easily cross the Yellow River and cut the Lunghal line.
As a matter of fact, not only were the Japanese attempts to cross the Great Divide repeated failures, but the Chinese had actually recovered more than ten districts in south Shansi,since that time, he said.
