EPORTS THAT THE Chinese forces operating far behind the Japanese spearhead have succeeded in cutting the invaders' lines of communi- cation, are gaining ground.
Japanese reports admit that aeroplanes are being used exten- sively to drop foodstuffs and supplies to the troops operating near Tsengshing, owing to the rapid advance made by the Japanese forces from their bases in Bias Bay.
It is significant, however, that Chinese reports still insist that severe fighting is in progress in the vicinity of Waichow, which indicates that the Japanese are experiencing difficulty in maintaining their lengthening | lines of communication for reasons other than a rapid advance.
