PAOTOW SPLENDIDLY VALUE
EXECUTED
Chungking, To-day.
A DETAILED STORY of the Chinese attack on Paotow just received here from Suiyuan reveals that the Chinese offensive aimed at the capture of the town for the pur- pose of frustrating any Japanese attempt to advance further west after the freezing of the Yellow River. An unusual aspect of the campaign is that due to lack of communcation facilities on the Mongolian plains, the Chinese military headquarters in west Suiyuan only learned that Chinese troops were attacking Paotow through the interception of a Japanese military wire- less message from Paotow, sent on the morning of Dec. 18 and requesting reinforcements.
Chinese troops on the Chahar bor- der also approached the railway line near Kalgan.
A letter from Shanpah, in west the north-west of Tatung, in nor- Suyuan, dated December 21, states thern Shansi, from eastern Sulyuan. that the Chinese forces, under the per- sonal command of General Fu Tso- 1, Chairman of the Suiyuan Gov- ernment, started the attack on Decem- ber 12 in several columns,
