The Japanese retreat in central China assumed the proportions of a rout as the Chinese, pushing swiftly northward toward the Yangtse Rver, recaptured five more towns and launched an assault on Hwajung. The Chinese also announced new successes in a drive to clear the invaders from the border area between the provinces of Hupeh and Hunan. The Chinese are also attacking enemy positions on the Canton-Hankow railway. Today’s communique said that enemy forces have been surrounded by the Chinese in the area north-east of Nangsien.
