By H. o. THOMPSON

SHANGHAI. Oct. II. (UP)-
General Chang Fa-kwei, China's
famed Tronsides" commander,
claimed the greatest victory OF
the Chinese-Japanese war today,
asserting that he had virtually
wiped out the japanese 1Olst dl.,
vision from Tokyo in a series OF
smashing counter attacks on the
Nanchang front southeast of Han
kow.
Chang Fa-kwei, whose Canton
csc divisions have been holding up
the japanese drive on Nanchang
for more than a month, said that
he had counter-attacked suddenly
all along the front south of Tehan
early yesterday and entrapped the
japanese who were worn out from
weeks of continuous fighting.
(Foreign military attaches
watching the japanese drive on
Hankow have reported repeatedly
that the Tokyo 101st division,
composed of second line reserv-
lists, was performing badly and
was likely to collapse if attacked
by superior numbers.)
Chang placed the number of
japanese killed at 10000 but this
figure was believed greatly exag-
gerated. 60 .sts. =. -
The battle. important as it was,
was more than Offset, however, by
series of japanese. victories
which brought spearheads Of the
Imperial armies closer to the vital
Hankow-Canton munitions railway
and made it almost certain that
the Japanese will take the vital
Wu-han (Wuchang, Hankow and
Hanyang) area-traditional mill
tary heart of China-by the end
of this month.
The Japanese had consolidated
their occupation of Sinyang, on
the Peiping-Hankow railway 100
miles north of Hankow. and were
tanning out through the noun
tains on a southwark drive to-
wards the provisional Chinesecap-
ital.
Japanese naval planes continued
bombing Canton and other points
in South China and had damaged
the southern reachse of the Han
kow-Canton railway to a point
where no traffic whatever was
moving.
