DEFENDERS HIT. BACK (Special to "Telegraph")

Shanghai, Dec. 3 (12.30 p.m.). Chinese despatches state that the important strategic city of Kwangteh has been recaptured from the Japanese for the second time. Thus the city and its complicated system of defences have changed hands four times in three days.

Chinese strategists, taking advantage of their familiarity with the terrain, it is said, withdrew their troops along the main road, but as soon as the Japanese were in occupation of Kwangteh they returned by out-of-the-way paths in the hills, of which the Japanese had not learned.

It is said the Chinese commander at Kwangteh, Colonel Yao Kuo-hwa and three of his officers, were killed during the fighting when the-Japanese-first-captured-Kwangteh.-
