A Chinese army communique states: “Chinese forces at Toungoo have joined with other forces to the north and east of Toungoo and have readjusted their position in that area,” This implies that, after their resistance against numerically superior Japanese troops, the Chinese have evacuated Toungoo, The Chinese have certainly inflicted heavy casualties on the Japanese in recent fighting in this area. In connection with the reference, in an earlier Chinese communique, to the Japanese use of poison gas, it is stated authoritative in London quarters that no similar reports have been received of gas being used in areas held by British troops.
