CHINESE ADVANCE
FOLLOWING ON RECOVERY OF CHANGTEH SIX OTHER TOWNS OCCUPIED. TWO JAPANESE DIVISIONS ROUTED. LONDON, December 2. Chinese troops who have thrown the Japanese out of Changteh have occupied six other towns. Two Japanese divisions have been routed. The Chinese have also recaptured Tenshan, on the highway between Changteh and Changsha, and wiped out most of the Japanese troops in two nearby villages. Two Chinese columns, by-passing Changteh with the evident intention of surrounding the invading forces round the city, converged on the highway town of Linli, 20 miles north of Changteh. General Yu Changwan, the latest hero of the Asiatic war, personally directed the bloody fighting which cleared Changteh’s streets of the enemy.
