With their operations in Honan halted by the great flood, the Japanese Command is transferring the main bulk of Japanese troops from the Lunghai front, east Honan and north Honan, to west Anhwei, to assist in the attempted land and up-river drive to Hankow.
Japanese troop movements on the eastern section of the Lunghai Railway and the Tientsin-Pukow Railway south of Hsuchow have been extremely large during the last few days. About 10,000 troops of the Itagaki Division, massed at Hsuchow, are waiting for transporta- tion southward, At Chuhsien, 50 kilometres north of Pukow between 600 and 700 Japanese troops are
also ready to depart for Anhwei.
In east Honan continuous streams of Japanese troops are moving to Hofei in central Anhwei. Only small units remain to garrison important towns.
