Chinese dead since the battle of Waichow up to Saturday noon when the Japanese mopping up operations in the Canton area were completed, totalled well over 4,000 while Japanese killed during the same time were less than one per cent, of that number, a Domei dispatch received from the front yesterday revealed.
Two thousand Chinese dead, the report claimed, were abandoned on the field of battle in the vicinity of Tsengcheng where the heaviest fighting took place,-while 1,000 others were counted on the battlefields at Niutowshan. The remaining 1,000 were found along the route of the Chinese retreat from Waichow to Canton, the report said. Japanese losses, the report pointed out, were amazingly few.
