DRIVE ON CHANGSHA
EXTENSIVE JAPANESE OPERATIONS THREE COLUMHS MOVING IN Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright SHANGHAI, September 25. The Japanese are pushing towards Changsha and have occupied strategic positions east and south of Lake Tungting. Gunboats cleared the Chinese barricades, and planes raided positions near Yingtien and attacked Chinese six miles north of the Canton-Hanghow railway. A Chungking message says it had been officially stated that the new Japanese operations towards Changsha are experimental preparations for a big drive. The Chinese are reported to be holding most of the cast shore of Lake Tungting. The Japanese arc moving three columns on Changsha. The centre column, which is astride the railway, has been stopped on the north bank of the Hsiu River. The second, moving south on the east shore of Lake Tungting, occupied Yuantien, but the Chinese expelled the third, which is west of the lake and was moving south on the Wuohang-Changsha highway.
