 Shanghai, Aug 3--Japanese planes bombed Hankow heavily today in preparation for the assault on the provisional capital. Eighteen bomb- CTS and 10 pursuit ships appeared over the HankoW airfield.

The raiders circled and dropped 40 more bambs but these appeared to have landed in a thicky-populated residential area.
