CHINESE SUCCESSES
RECAPTURE OF RICE BOWL
TOWNS HEAVY JAPANESE LOSSES REPORTED. HANOI AGAIN BLASTED. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.35 a.m.) CHUNGKING, December 14.
Despatches from the front declare that the Chinese have recaptured Shihmen, which yesterday’s Chinese communique admitted the Japanese had captured. The Japanese garrison is now reported to be retreating northeastward.
A Chinese communique says the Chinese, in a smashing success in the Rice Bowl region, recaptured Linli, 25 miles north of Changteh and also recaptured a number of villages. The Chinese are hotly pursuing the retreating enemy. The Chinese claim that the Japanese suffered heavy casualties. General Stilwell’s communique states that, for the second successive, night, Liberators, escorted by fighters, in daylight blasted the Hanoi railway yards. The Japanese, retaliating, attacked an advanced American base. Lightnings intercepted, shooting down two enemy aircraft and probably destroying two others.
