JAPANESE BEING PUSHED STEADILY BACK ON THE N. KWANGTUNG FRONT
Yungyun, To-day.
Steadily pushing back the Japanese who had filter- ed through the system of streams casting a net over regions north of the East River, Chin- ese forces advancing along the Yungyun- Tsungfa highway have cleared all enemy forces north of Leunghow, twenty-five kilometres north of Tsungfa.
With the exception of isolated Japanese units marooned at several points, Chinese forces are in control of all important key-positions northwest of Tsungfa. A number of Japan- ese flying columns, weakly supported from their main force on the rear, have been routed.
The Chinese forces, advancing gradually on Tsungfa, are expect- ed to come face to face with strong Japanese reinforcements, number- ing 10,000, which have been brought up from Tsengshing to Tsungfa. These Japanese forces are concen- trated along the Canton-Fahsien highway.
