JAPANESE OFFENSIVE ON HANKOW
CHINESE CLAIM GAINS IN NANCHANG AREA LONDON, September 23. Preceded by bombers, the Japanese north of the Yangtze launched what they hope to be the last phase of the Peiping-Hankow railway drive, says the Shanghai correspondent of the British United Press. Japanese bombers demolished warehouses and munition dumps at Siyang, and bombed the Chinese front at Loshan, which they claim to have occupied. The Chinese claim important victories on the Nanchang front, where they silenced Japanese batteries at Mahweiling and occupied a number of villages.
