WUHU RETAKEN
BY CHINESE IN.
BITTER FIGHTING.
Japanese Harassed by
Guerrilla Bands

SHANGHAI, Feb. o U.N.S0.
Chinese troops, launching a furi-
Gus offensive south Of Marking,
have recaptured the important
Yangtze River port Of Wuhu in
bitter fighting, reports from Han
gov claimed today.
These claims, relayed from the
seat of the Chang Kai-Shek gov
ernment via British Hongkong,
climaxed a series of other reports
telling of stiff Chinese guerrilla
warfare against thin Japanese
communication lines in various
parts of the country.
HANKOW BOMBED
One unconfirmed Chinese report
said guerrilla forces, striking sud-
denly against Nippon's legionS,
had captured Sungkiang, % miles
southwest of Shanghai, in a vi
ciouS battle.
At the same time, large Japa-
neSe force, including tanks and
motorized units began a new drive
south along the railway running
from Peiping toward Hankow.
Japanese warplanes bombed Han
kow and nearby cities.
Chinese troops along the rail-
way were reported retreating be-
fore the NipponeSe advance, but
were believed to be offering good
deal of resistance as they gave
ground.
ADVANCE RESISTED
1t was estimated here that So
900 Japanese troops have been
killed and 100000 wounded since
the outbreak of the war. Chinese
casualties were estimated at about
four times the Japanese figures,
owing largely to lack Of proper
medical equipment.
In northern Honan province,
Chinese troops were reported Wig
orously resisting a japanese ad-
vance, although Japanese authori-
ties claimed capture Of Nanlo, is
miles south of Changteh.
The report said 1000 Chinese
soldiers were killed before Manic
fell. Another Japanese column
was reported driving forward from
Tanning, so miles to the northeast
of Changteh, where heavy Japa-
nese force is now said to be con-
centrated.
