Shanghal, June 0..

Japanese reports say that follow- Ing the occupation of Kaifeng the Toyama Dotachment continued to advance westward without permit ting the Chinese to reform their ince and have reached a point seven niles east of Chungmow, the lost major city before Chengeliow, on the Kaifeng-Chengchow highway which runs parallel to the Lunghal Rail- way. Therefore the Japanese are only 32 miles east of Chengchow.

He said thick mud covered the highway making it dificult for the motorised units to advance. He sald General Hu Taung-nan, alleged com- mander of the Kaifeng-Chengchow

aren, has removed his headquarters from Chengchow to Sincheng, forty miles south of Chengchow. He sold Chinese troops were simultaneously pouring in and out of Chengchow.
