CHINESE STRIKE AUSTRALIAN

BACK IN SINGTZE ZONE

Hankow, To-day.

south

Chinese forces on the Yangtze front are striking back with considerable success, ac- cording to information from the front.

The Chinese have re-occupied Chuchwang and Tawuho, north- east of Juichang, on the north bank of Chihu Lake.

Fighting of a severe nature is! still raging around Singtze, the west bank of Poyang Lake. The bulk of the Japanese force is held in check at Yuchinshan and Ox Head Hill, immediately west and southwest of the city. A Japanese column launched peated assaults in an effort to dis- lodge the Chinese guarding the hill, suffering 900 casualties.

Further Japanese attempts to land troops near Singtze were frustrated. After repulsing this attack, the Chinese struck back at Singtze, recapturing Pihuai- chiao, a point immediately west of the city, Central News.
