“ONE OF GREATEST IN WORLD ANNALS”
South China Landing
(Received March 6,2 a.m.) TOKIO, March 5. The Canton correspondent of the Domei news agency characterized the new Japanese landing operations on the South China coast as “one of the greatest in the world’s war annals.” He stated tiiat the operations cover 250 miles of the coastline from west of Macao to the vicinity of the Gulf of Tongking. Besides Pakhoi, the Japanese occupied Kowngchoi, Yuungkong, Tingpak, Shuitung and the Luichow Peninsula.
[Kwangtung Province extends for 600 miWs along the coast of China adjoining Indo-China in the west. A few miles from the Luichow Peninsula and opposite the Indo-China port of Haiphong is Hainan Island. This island since being seized by the Japanese, has been developed as a naval and air base, and there have been a number of reports recently of Japanese warships concentrating in that region.]
