Drive By Japanese Central Hupeh Operations
Central Hupeh plains are again a theatre of war as the Japanese have commenced a gigantic encirclement movement against an estimated 100,000 Chinese, consisting of 40 'divisions' under General Lí Chung-yen, Japanese reports say. The Japanese claim to have smashed down the Chinese entire outer defences along the entire Hupeh front.
Shonghai reports say that Herr Stahmer, Special Germany envoy to Japan, who negotiated recently the Tri-Power Alliance, is again en route to the Far East to renew German pressure on Tokyo for a resumption of the Japanese thrust southwards.
