Captured in the occupation of Fuchikou were 15 fortification guns, two trench mortars, 200 machine guns and rifles, 500 hand-grenades and 45000 rounds of rifle ammunition.
Together with Matouchen, opposite Wusueh, and Tienchiacheng, four kilometres to the north on the opposite bank of the Yangtze, Fuchikou formed an elaborate fortress system defending the "bottle neck" area in the river.
Other Japanese columns operating in eastern Hupeh were gradually closing in upon Yangsin after occupying Mushikang, Yulinshan, Yutungshan, and Hoyuehlang.
Fighting was also progressing along the southern extremity of the Lushan mountain range on the west bank of Lake Poyang as Japanese forces endeavoured to straighten their lines.
