Kiangsi Front Near Nanchang Sees Stalled Advance
Within 30 miles of Nanchang the Kiangsi force has made less than a 15-mile advance in a month, about 50 miles since Kiukiang fell on July 26. The rugged countryside between Kiukiang Nanchang and Canton Hankow railways is a dangerous no man’s land with Chinese forces probing the tri angular zone south of Hankow by the Yangtze. Ongoing assaults and counter attacks occur in the river bend aided by large scale Japanese air operations.
