CHINESE STRIKE BACK
JAPANESE DEFENCE PENETRATED Chungking-, Nov. 24. The Japanese captured Taoyua, 16 miles south of Changteh. The capture of Taoyua cuts the vital rice bowl highway route from Hunan province to Szechwan. All Japanese efforts to take Changteh so far have been successfully resisted and further Japanese attempts to bypass the city checked. Chinese forces counter-attacking at different points around Hankow penetrated a Japanese strongpoint east of Hankow and also reached the outskirts of the highway town of Tsaochin, 60 miles north-west of Hankow.
