Gallant Defender of Tazang Takes Own Life After Defeat
Shanghai, Oct. 29.
There was little serious fighting in Shanghai yesterday.
The Chinese were preparing their new line of defence and the Japanese .consolidating their positions. Consequently all eyes at Shanghai were focussed on the doomed. Chinese battalion which is remaining in Chapei surrounded by fires and peppered by Japanese machine-guns. It is expected the Japanese will shell and bomb it out of existence to-day.
A packet of farewell letters was thrown by them to the British troops in the International Settlement, and was duly posted.
Further proof of the Chinese rational spirit was
given in the news that General Cho Yao-hua, whose L.G. WARNS
gallant defence of Tazang, keypoint of the Shanghai front, has made him a national hero, committed suicide with a pistol because he held himself responsible for the loss of the town.
