SHANGHAI, sth February. The highlight in to-day's fighting was the success of the Chinese aeroplanes in an aerial battle with three Japanese bombers over Chengju, whens the Government radio station is loaated. A furious duel resulted in one Japanese aeroplane dropping in flames and the other two making forced landings. The Shanghai Municipal Council is faced with the gravest difficulties at present, as approximately 40,000 Chinese troops, concentrated in the vicinity of Shanghai, are demanding the right to pass through and attack the Japanese. In the meantime heavy fighting continues on the Chapei and .Kiangwan fronts, where the Japanese are reliably reported to have made a considerable advance.
