Kiukiang Left Ablaze By Furious Bombardment

Shanghai, July 27.

The Japanese spokesman reports that artillery and machine-gun fire was audible yesterday between Kiukiang and Nanchang, in which direction the Chinese defenders of Kiukiang are retreating-United Press

Shanghai, July 27. Without even a brief pause for rest, Japanese troops, following the occupation of Kiukiang, have immediately pushed on against new objectives. One column is driving down the Kiukiang-Nanchang railway- apparently aiming at Nanchang, important Poyang lake- shore city-and another is pursuing a route along the south bank of the Yangtse.

The sky above Kiukiang last night was brilliantly lit by several huge fires which were raging unchecked. The Bund, once a thriving industrial and commercial centre, presents a picture of desolation, with the majority of the buildings damaged or utterly demolished as a result of the severe naval and aerial bombardment of the past two days.
