DRIVE INTO BURMA
Japanese Move To Disrupt Preparations (Received October 17, 7 p.m.) CHUNGKING. October 15.
The Japanese have captured Pienma, a town 87 miles north of the Bungling, and also several villages west and south-west of Pienma. says a Chinese communique. Other Japanese units attacked Wateinchies and Pangwayakow, north of Lungling. A military spokesman said he believed that the enemy drive was not aimed at Kunming but toward occupying the entire western bank of the Salween River, thus disrupting Chinese preparations for the drive into Burma. General Stilwell's communique announces that Mitchell bombers, sweeping the Chinese coast, sank a small Japanese freighter, raked another and bombed gunboats and sampans. All the Mitchells returned.
