Chinese who are alleged to have attempted to raid the offices of the Japanese Army's Special Services Section of Jessfield Road early yesterday morning were repulsed by a sentry, Japanese newspapers said last night.
The men were reported to have approached the Japanese military establishment at about 330 o'clock in the morning. They used hooded flashlights, emitting a dull blue colour, to signal their progress to their confederates, the reports stated.
One shot was said to have been fired at the post, but the would-be assailants fled when the sentry returned the fire, the dailies said.
