GAINS ON BURMA ROAD
Rec. 9 a.m. CHUNGKING, Sept. 18. Chinese troops have reoccupied Lungling (on the Burma Road, 250 miles north-east of Mandalay), states a Chinese communique. The Japanese have unexpectedly withdrawn 11 miles to the south-west to Mangshih, where they are believed to be entrenching. The Chinese counted 520 Japanese dead in Lungling. The Chinese are also regaining hills to the north-east of Lungling and the nearby village of Nanchang, repulsing small Japanese counter-attacks.
