JAPS IN LUNGLING
EFFORTS AT RELIEF FAIL
Rec. 11 a.m. CHUNGKING, Sept. 3. One thousand Japanese were killed in the past four days while unsuccessfully attempting to relieve their garrison in Lungling and attempting to capture the Burma Road heights northeast of Mangshih, says a Chinese communique. General Stilwell's communique says that further reports of the Takao harbour raid on Thursday show that two 10,000-ton freighters and one smaller freighter were sunk. Liberators on Friday sank a small freighter, damaged a small tanker, and probably sank a small submarine south of Hong Kong. Liberators on Friday night bombed Tienho and Whitecloud aerodromes at Canton and also Kaitak aerodrome and Kowloon wharyes. Liberators and fighters made widespread attacks on aerodromes, troops, depots, bridges, and transports in the Hengyang and Yangtze areas.
