The open fields outside Kwang-hua men were again subjected to heavy aerial bombardment at 12.30 to-day, when nine heavy Japanese bombers, escorted by five pursuit "planes, carried out another raid on the capital.
The raiders dropped approximately 24 large bombs on the arsenal and aerodrome outside the South Gate, the detonation of which could be heard for miles around. The appearance of the visitors was greeted with heavy anti-aircraft fire, which, how-j ever, was not as effective as previously because of the high altitude at which the raiding machines were fying.
Pukow was not bombed, but three of the bombers later flew in the di-B rection of Wutaishan. Due to the intensive anti-aircraft fire they flew away without loosing any missiles. The "all clear" was sounded at 1.30.
