CAPTURED BY CHINESE Rec. 9 a.m. CHUNGKING, January 2. A Chinese communique says that Chinese forces recaptured 10 villages near Owchihkow, on the Hunan-Hupeh border, thereby restoring the situation existing in that region before the Japanese attack on the rice bowl. The enemy remnants around Owchihkow have been entirely mopped up. President Chiang Kai-shek in a New Year's address said that China's major task in 1944 should be the launching of a large-scale counter-offensive against Japan. There would be only one war and one strategy, he said. For China it was now not only a question of co-ordination, but also one of joining the Allies under this strategy to bring overwhelming force to bear upon Japan from all sides.
