Main Air Field In Southern Suburbs Of Liuchow Taken By Chinese Troops
Chinese Army says Liuchow fell to Chinese forces in the southern suburbs. Maj. Gen. Claire Chenault’s 14th Air Force abandoned the area last November. The city’s south railway station was weakened and Liuchow burned since June 23. Estimates say fewer than 1,000 Japanese remained, with fighting continuing in western and northwestern Liuchow as forces press toward the center. Nearby Kweilin is also under pressure with Chinese columns engaging Japanese troops north and northwest of the city.
