GAINS IN HUPEH
MAINTAINED BY CHINESE JAPANESE THRUST IN YUNNAN. EXPECTATION OF ATTACK ON BURMA ROAD. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.55 a.m.) CHUNGKING, March 18. The Chinese are maintaining their gains in the Hupeh area against the thwarted eight-column drive of the Japanese. The latter retired from four key towns they had reached 60 miles southward of the Yangtse, but the Chinese drove them back thirty miles. A Chinese Army spokesman said 2,000 Japanese troops attacked Chinese forces near Lungling, in Yunnan Province, apparently testing the Chinese strength on the west bank of the Salween, in the expectation *that a Chinese attack along the Burma Road will begin from there.
