An urgent military despatch from the front received here at eleven o'clock last night reports the recapture by Chinese vanguards of the walled town of Susung, in south-west Anhwei, on the Hupch border, at 5.30 p.m.
Susung is approximately ten kilometres north-east of Hwangmei, and 30 kilometres and 75 kilometres respectively north-west of Taihu and Tsienshan. Both these points the Chinese regained on August 27.
The Japanese garrison at Susung, according to the report, offered feeble resistance to the The Chinese attack and suffered heavy losses. bulk of the Japanese force was scattered and retreated towards Wankiang and Anking.
Great significance is attached to the recap- ture of Susung by military observers as it cuts off the retreat of the spearhead of the Japanese advance at Hwangmei and blocks the trans- portation of supplies and provisions along the Susung-Hwangmei highway.--Central News.
