Touring the river front this mocning, Reuter's correspondent counted 30 dead bodies, many of which had heads, arms or legs blown off, lying grotesquely on the sand bank, awaiting burial When the alarm was sounded, many coolies in the lumber yard crawled underneath lumber piles, thinking they would be safe there. One bomb, however, landed ten feet away from the pile, while another made a direc: hit, killing 20 coolies underneath the lumber.
This morning, there was still one dead body, underneath a pile of lumber, which had not yet been ex-tricoted.
Many bombs landed on the south bank of the Yangtze River, opposite Chungking near a point where the Yangtze and Chialin Rivers meet. The American Embassy and also many foreign firms are at present located on the south bank.
Very few incendiary bombs were used by the Japanese in the raid, the majority of the missiles used being explosive bombs. Three incendiary bombs, however, landed on the Yangtze River, burning in the water for several seconds.
One bomb landed on the slope of a hill, in the middle of a field of tomatoes, making a huge crater and uprooting every tomato within a radius of 50 feet.
