Japanese Vanguard Near Nanking Advances Toward City
Reports from Tokyo state a van guard of Japanese troops neared Nanking within three miles of the ancient walls as fires burned in the capital. The advance came from Tanyang on the Grand Canal, with plans to strike Nanking soon. Japanese planes attacked Chinese retreating forces near Nanking and Wuhu, while a 32,720 ton Japanese battleship Nagata was reportedly sunk near the Yangtze. British vessels were wounded in the Wuhu area, though Japan denied a protest or compensation demand. Several Americans remained at Wuhu, including Frances Culley and E. R. Lewis.
