Japanese Reverses In China
(8.0. W.)
RUGBY. March 5
Renewed fighting in the Kiangsu province, in which 400 Japanese Were killed, is reported in a Chungking communique. Fighting ik taking place in an area of the famous Grand Canal, which runs northward through the province to Chinkcan, on the Yangtse. After the failure of their initial offensive on this sector, the Japanese last week brought up strong reinforcements, and launched an attack on a large town. This has now been thrown back by the Chinese. There was a further local Chinese success near Sunkai, in the Kwangtung province, only 15 miles from the Japanese main base at Canton. An outpost position north-west of Sunkai was attacked on Sunday and the enemy were forced to withdraw.
