scale Japanese Army operations in
four Chinese provinces and air as
saults on still other areas were re-
ported today in japanese dispatches.
Domei asserted that mopping up
operations were destroying consid-
erable concentrations of Chinese
regulars, guerrillas or Communist
troops in the three northern prov
inces of Shantung, Hopeh and
Shansi.
Imperial headquarters announced
the occupation of Tengyueh, i'm

umns are driving into China from
the Burma back door, China re-
ported the fall of Tengyueh yester-
day..
Shanghai dispatches reported
heavy japanese air raids on Chuh-
sien, in western Chekiang Province
(Which the Japanese believe to be
an air base possibly for use Of
American planes), Hengchow, an
important railway junction in HUI
nan Province, South Central China,
and Yushan, in Ktangsi Province.
The drive in Shansi was said to be
against 4,500 Chinese regular troops
east of the Chin River, in the
southern part of the province. CThe
Japanese have been trying to mop
up" Shansi for several weeks, pos
sibly in preparation for larger op-
erations to the west with Chunk

In southern Hopeh, Domei said,

the Germans southern COM
munications)
Dedicated to the goal of defeat
ing Hitler before the year is out,
the Russians were pictured as forg-
ing ahead steadily, though not pre-
cipitously, against defense so gen.
orally stubborn that in one sector
German troops held their ground
until they were crushed under the
caterpillar tread of Russan tanks.
All along the active Kharkov
front (said in London dispatches to
cover 10 niles a pitched battle had
developed, it was reported, with
German tank troops and reserves
increasing their resistance, bene-
fitted by rain which turned the
rich soil of the Ukraine at places
into slippery mud.
Only General Picture.
So complex and broad was Mar
shall Timoshenko's full pledged
offensive and so CONSTRUCTED as to
positional detail were the reports
on it that from the Moscow vantage
point only general picture of the
battle could be had.
It was evident, however, that the
Russians we're banking heavily on
the offensive to keep the Germans
of balance in the south, ease If
not deliver the hard-pressed forces
in the Kerch Peninsula, and force
the Germans to swing their line
back from Taganrog, its anchor on
the Sea of Azov, facing the Cau-
casus.
An article by a Ukrainian writer,
Mikola Bazhan, described how the
Russian tankmen carefully pre-
pared their machines for days
before the Kharkov offensive. The

celebrated Russian figures like Mar
shals Suvorov and Kutuzov and
Ukrainian heroes like the historic

On May the offensive got under
way; the skies were clear and the
earth was hard under the clanking
tracks of the tanks. Spring sun
shine illuminated the glorious road
west" Bazhan wrote.
Yesterday Moscow radio commen-
tators said that the Ukraine was
being liberated "kilometer by kilo-
meter" and that the Kharkov drive
was but a sample of the growing
warpower of the Soviet Union.

solve to achieve the complete defeat
of Hitler in 1942," one commentator
said.
The roads from Kharkov to the
front over which the Germans were
rushing their reinforcements were
described as "a sea of burning tanks
and trucks" after a series of devas-
tating blows by the Red Air Force.
The newspaper Pravda's front
correspondent wrote that a battle
of armored forces had left one field
"a cemetery Of tanks" Russian
claims of destruction against the
panzer divisions of the enemy ran
into the hundreds of vehicles.
Some reserve troops Of the foe,
already made prisoners, said they
were brought to the eastern front In
February and March, apparently
for a spring offensive by the Ger
mans, but that the Russian drive
caught them by surprise.
