Mahweiling, Kiangsi, Aug. 15.

A thousand casualties are believed to have been inflicted on the Japanese when two columns of fresh Chinese reinforcements staged a sur- prise raid on Tengchiaho and Lungkimiao, respectively south-west and south-east of Chinkuanchiao in the Shaho sector, under cover of darkness Saturday night, according to military advices just received here.

The Japanese were caught sleeping and were thrown into utter confusion when they were awakened by the explosion of hand- grenades and rifle and machine-gun fire of the Chinese attackers. Besides suffering heavy casualties, they lost two machine-guns, many rifles and gas masks.

Lungkimiao was returned to Chinese con- trol as a result of the attack.
