DESPERATE WARFARE IN NORTH

Refugees Swarming Westward Along Lunghai Road (BỶ JACK BELDEN)

Tungkwan, March 1.

The westward movement of General Sung Cheli-yuen's army has now reached Hsinan, 20 miles west of Loyang, and al- ready portions of the army have- reached the southern side of the Yellow River and are moving along the Lunghai railway. They thus leave an entrance to Shan- si almost open and a way for the Japanese to strike at General Wel Li-huang's rear.

Meanwhile, Chinese refugees have commenced a wholesale westward trek to Slan and the Lunghul railway is jammed with Peiping-Hanktow railway and Tientsin-Pukow railway rolling stock and refugees are swarm- ing. They engulfed the station as I arrived here last night.

Thousands are pouring in from Shansi, crossing the Yellow River.

They say Linten has been bombed hour after hour and to live there is most dangerous,

Terrible Fighting

in

Generul Fan Tsung-yin, defence commander in the sector from Lo- yung to the westward, told me that 15,000 Japanese were wounded at Fengyang and 10,000 Chinese horrible fighting. The Japanese struck at the Chinese rear-guard and the Chinese swung back and inflict- ed terrible losses on the Japanese герг in retaliation.

General Wel Li-huang, west of Lingshih, is trying to bludgeon hils way north, while General Chu Teh. from eastern Shansi, has funga strong. ctriking force against the Japanese rear.

The Japanese are employing the same tactics that have served them to well in the past. They are try- ing to flank the Chinese armles.

The terrific Japanese bombinus have drawn officials from Linfen Into the countryside,

The Yellow River is very low near here and there are many good fords. The inns are all led. I am the only foreigner in the town. A Chi- nese missionary who found me wan- dering about bewildered, took me home-United Press.
