JAPANESE TAKE STRONG POINTS

CHINESE MASS REINFORCEMENTS FOR BITTER BATTLE

After a long offensive, Japanese captured Minohong and Tazang, in the Shanghal area yesterday afternoon, and are now pushing on towards Chapel and Klangwan where Chinese reinforcements are being rushed in anticipation of a tremendous battle.

J

The Japanese have also taken charge of the Chanju radio station, south-west of Chapel, and a flying columa has cut the Shanghai-Nanking rallway in order lo cut off the Chinese retreat. The Chlacze have been successful in Shanal, reoccupying Kwantsun, west of Hsinkou. A terrific battle is in progress at the strategle Nlangtzekwan Pasi.

On the Shantung-Hopek frontler the Chinese have recovered the walled city of Wuchino while the Japanese are retreating to Sanyunn.
