Chinese Claim Japanese Westward Drive Checked

HEAVY CASUALTIES INFLICTED ON ATTACKING TROOPS

But Japanese Maintain Advance Continues.

Fenglinfu, Aug. 30.

of

The Japanese advancing on Matow, west Juichang, are checked at Maanchuan (Saddle Spring), Peilungchuan (White Dragon Spring), Moshan (Grind- stone Hill) and Hungshan, points on the Juichang- Yangsin highway.

Heavy fighting has been in progress at these points during the last two days. The Japanese are said to have suffered 3,000 casualties.

The Chinese field headquarters has issued orders commending the heroic efforts of the Chinese troops guarding these points. It is said that despite several wounds, Captain Wang Wan-lin refused to leave the field and continued to fight during the battle at Saddle Spring on Sunday, Equal gallantry was displayed by the company under Captain Hsu Hsiao-ping, guarding Hungshan. After half of the company had been annihilated in the Japanese assaults, the rest still stubbornly held its ground. At Grindstone Hill the battalion under the command of Major Yen Chih engaged in six successive hand-to-hand combats and finally repulsed the attackers.

FIRST AT SCENE OF DISASTER was the British gunboat Cicala, Lieut.-Commander Pack-Beresford, which actually located the wreck of the C.N.A.C. airliner, Kweilin, shot down by Japanese planes on Wednesday. Fourteen lost their lives. The bodies of the victims are being brought to Hongkong. Lieut.-Commander Pack-Beresford is hero directing salvage operations, in which men of the Cicala are assisting.
