CHINESE HURL BACK JAPANESE ATTACK
BEYOND HWANGMEI
Hankow, Aug. 8: Considerable success has been scored by Chinese troops in a furious counter-attack on Hwangmei which began in the early morning of August 6 and lasted throughout yesterday. As a result of the engagement, Chinese headquarters announced the recapture of Teng- sunkiao and Siakino, both of strategic importance, on the outskirts of the town.
Operating in the network of waterways and inundated paddy fields, both sides encountered great difficulties but the Chinese gained the upper hand. Tengsankiao and Siakiao were recaptured before noon on visited Bethlehem and Solomon's August 6, with the Japanese leaving at least forty dead
