Kwangsi Troops Stop Japan's Anhwei Push

FORCING INVADERS TO ALTER STRATEGY ALONG WIDE FRONT

Chinese Capture Guns, Tanks And Cavalry at Kweiteh

Hsuchow, Feb. 24.

General Li Chung-jen, the Kwangsi general, having stopped the Japanese march inland in Anhwei, the invading forecs in this area are at present trying to accomplish a co-ordinated movement in the north along the western section of the Peiping-Hankow railway in Shansi. This big-scale drive will attempt to link the Japanese forces.

It is perhaps likely that the Japanese will first seek to cut the Lunghai railway at Loyang. A secondary force may simultaneously move eastward on the Peiping- Hankow line, attempting a huge-scale outflanking movement intended to surround the Chinese forces scattered over an enormous area.

While artillery Are han been heard at Kaifeng, the Japanese have reinforced the Taining garrison and emerged from that long besieged town to attempt a southward march along China's most dangerous road,

At Kweitch the Chinese captured four mountain guns, three tanks and some cavalry.

Central Shantung is quiet. General Pang Ping-boun's 41st Army has started a counter-attack on the east coast against newly-landed Japanese troops.
