A force of about 200 japanese be-

anese used machine guns but the
Chinese were able to resist stubbornly
because of the strong mud walls and
loopholed blockhouseS of the village.
The Japanese had no artillery. The
bleak plain, denuded of all crops Is
frozen too hard to permit digging
trenches and many Japanese are re-
ported to have been wounded.
A japanese company, which went to

persed the Chinese without casualties
