Because houses in the western suburbs are widely scattered, many bombs landed m open fields, causing comparatively little property damage except to shops and houses along the main roads. Casualties are also reported to be few.

Heaviest death roll occurred on, May 9 when bombs were drop- ped along the Yangtse and Chial- ing River fronts. Many Junkmen were killed or wounded.
