JAPANESE DRIVE
INTO CENTRAL CHINA. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) CHUNGKING, May 21. Sixty thousand Japanese, supported by planes, tanks, paratroops, and heavy artillery, are pushing westward in central China toward Enshih, which is the war time capital of Hupeh province and is only 180 miles east of Chungking, according to the Chinese military spokesman. Enshih, better known as Shihnan-fu, on the south bank of the Ching River, a tributary of the Yangtze, is 115 miles south-west of Ichang. This is the deepest point so far of Japanese penetration in Central China.
The spokesman said that three gigantic enemy prongs were sweeping the lowlands adjacent to Lake Tungting, to the north of Ichang.
