POWERFUL BASES
Japanese Operations In China CHUNGKING, March 11. The Japanese are establishing powerful air bases at Kwangchewau for operations against Allied aerodromes established for the bombardment of Japan, said the Chinese army spokesman. He said that fighting was continuing in Central China, where the Japanese had thrown eight columns, aggregating 20.000 men, across the Yangste between Kiawgling, near Shasi, and Yochow. The spokesman said that the Japanese were using 55,000 troops against the Chinese in Burma and the Yunnan border regions. By capturing point after point in the area north-west of Tengyueh the Chinese had blunted the northern claw of the pincer which the Japanese threw across the Yunnan border from the base at Myitkyma.
