NANNING ENTERED
JAPANESE CAMPAIGN IN SOUTH CHINA CLAIM LAID TO IMPORTANT RESULTS. CUTTING OFF SUPPLIES FROM INDO-CHINA. By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright. (Received This Day, 11 a.m.) NEW YORK, November 24. The Shanghai correspondent of the “New York Times” reports that an official announcement stated that a Japanese entry into south-east Nanning was made at 1 p.m. today. This was one of the most remarkable exploits of the whole war. It included landings at three points on November 15, a march over a ditched and dynamited highway, fighting through mountain passes and fording unbridged streams. The distance from the landing point to Nanning was 25 miles, because of the indirect route. Officers claim that the captors of Nanning now control a key point on route of 70 per cent of China's imports from French Indo-China.
