FURTHER SUCCESS
GAINED BY THE CHINESE
IN YANGTSE VALLEY AND OTHER BATTLE AREAS.
MOUNTING JAPANESE LOSSES.
(By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.14 p.m.) CHUNGKING, June 6. The Chinese who entered Itu on June 3 have been battering enemy units whose retreat is cut off, says a Chinese communique. The Chinese Air Force, in co-operation with the ground forces, on June 5, attacked the Japanese on the outskirts of Itu, compelling them to flee. Chinese units attacking an enemy position at Chaoshih, north of the Yangtse, inflicted severe casualties on Japanese reinforcements rushing to Chaoshih. The Japanese attempted to cross the Yellow River near Shuipo, in East Honan, but the Chinese counter-attacked and the Japanese were forced to retreat. They suffered heavy losses. The Chinese in South-East Shansi, after a battle raging from May 27 to May 31, retook Tuchuochcn, Fushui and Lachuaishuling.
