The Hong Kong correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph" says that more than 160 Japanese planes participated in a devastating series of air raids in which hundreds of civilians were killed, from Shensi to Kwangtung. Dozens of cities and towns were bombed, including Chungking, Sian, Changsa, Kweilin and Yingtak.
More than 50 bombs were dropped on Kweilin, destroying a cinnamon forest and a temple and restarting fires that gutted the city’s centre three weeks ago.
