Embittered by the loss of Kiukiang, Chinese troops hurled themselves upon the Japanese in a furious counter-attack yesterday.
Violent fighting raged on the whole front, extending from Pengtseh to Kiukiang. The Chinese right and left wings in the Hukow-Pengtseh sector made a vigorous advance, recapturing a number of points, including Shihpoling, Meilangkow and Laotashan. The rear of the Japanese occupying Kiukiang is threatened.
Chinese reinforcements dispatched to the Poyang Lake sector, meanwhile, succeeded in cutting the Japanese communications between Kiukiang and Kutang, about seven miles south-east of Kiukiang on the west bank of the lake.
