Battle for Manchuria Starts With Success For Government Troops
Recd. 6 p.m. Nanking, Sept. 28 Pro-Government reports state that Nationalist troops routed Communist forces assaulting Chinhsi, in southwest, Manchuria. Observers believe, however, that in cutting the Peiping-Mukden railway 30 miles south-west of the Great Wall, thereby neutralising Hulutao, the Government supply port, the Communists obtained an advantage in the first phase of the latest battle for Manchuria. Pro-Government reports claim that Nationalist forces have captured the Communist supply port of Lungkow, 60 miles westward of the important Communist base of Chefoo.
