Nanchang, Sept. 7.
present Japanese drive towards Tehan is developing into one of the fiercest engagements in the present hostilities. Natural defences in the hills, all overgrown with thick foliage, make any attack a long and difficult process.
Japanese aircraft and artillery can do much to upset the morale of the Chinese forces, and blast them out of certain positions, but for-a final assault charges with bayonets and hand-grenades up the-slopes and through the thickets are needed, and in this type of warfare the superior numbers of the Chinese necessarily prove more effective than in the open country.
