INVADERS IN DILEMMA JAPANESE ARMY AS PLANS ARE CHECKED LOSE STORE IN

Chinese Defence Line From Kuling To Shaho Intact

WITH THE CHINESE FORCES AUGUST 8:

AT MAHUILING. KIUKIANG,

Military reports received here yesterday claimed an important Chinese success on the north bank of the Yangtse near, Susung when in a major counter-attack, lasting throughout Saturday, the Japan- ese suffered 4000 casualties.

The invaders, constituting parts of the 2nd, 6th, 9th and 13th Divisions, were routed and driven back to Susunr, leaving hundreds of dead on the battlefield. The debacle is said to be the heaviest the Japanese have suffered since they landed at Anking.

Japanese forces operating along! both the north and south banks of the Yangtse, according to in- formation gathered from various sources. are facing a dilemma as to the next move, as both their westward drive from Huangrel on Hankow in the north, and south- ward drive from Kluklang on Nan- chang in the south, are baulked by the strong Chinese defence.

'The Fukuda 106th Division, which was responsible for the capture of Matang. Pengtsen and Hukow, is encountering great dif- Aculties in operations aroun: Klu- kiang.

Finding their.. naval guns short of range, a large number of heavy artillery pieces has been moved up, and at least '700 or 800 shells were rained on Chinese, positions every day in the past week,"
