Consolidation Of Foes
Hold on Manning Is
Declared Prevented
BY the Associated Press,

HONGKONG, Dec. l5.-Chinse
reported today that their forces had
made simultaneous attacks at scat.
tered points from the south coast
as far north as the Yellow River.
!, Although the attacks did not de-
velop into a unified offensive, Chi
nese said that on the vital Kwangsi
province front they prevented the
Japanese from consolidating their
hold on Manning, potentially q base
for japanese land and air opera
tons in the deep south.
Co-ordinated sabotage by plain.
clothes agents and regular gueril-
la attacks, the Chenese said. un-
dermined Japan's hold, both on
Eangchow, Chekiang province capi-
TAI and port, and on Nanchang,
capital Of Kiangsi province.
In both, they declared, Japanese
barracks, supply centers and pup
pet government headquarters were
destroyed.
North of Changsha, in Human
Province, the Chinese reported re.
capture of several points on the
south bank of the Yangtze River
and of several Japanese posts be-
tween the Yangtze and the Yellow
River.
Having exhausted the momentum
of the early stages of their drive to
cut of essential Chinese supply
routes connecting South China with
Burma and French Indo- China, the
japanese were said to have halted
in the mountain passes about 80
miles northeast of Manning.
The Chinese said they had out
flanked the invaders lines and had
brought up tank units, superior
artillery and air support for defense
troops on that front.
The Japanese, they said, have
been unable to keep control of the
supply line between Manning and
the coast and have been unable,
therefore, to use the Kwangsi capital
as a base for air attacks on hinter-
land transport routes.

but that German pursuit ships gave
them warm reception"
Raiders Modern Type.
German planes were said to have
singled out the British ships, flying
in close formation, and shot down
10, after which the others hid in
clouds and turned homeward.
DNB said the raiders were the
most modern type of Vickers and
Wellington long-distance bombers
and their repulse proved ''unequivo-
cally that the German Air Force Is
laying down the law in the German
air space"
The news agency went on to de-
ride what it called a British "propa-
ganda invention" that the flying
barrage" was an effective means OF
combating German mine-laying
