Change of Generals May Speed Up Army
Shanghai Feb. 23. Recall of three top Japanese commanders was announced amid reports of a setback north of Nanking. General Shankroku Hath will become commander in chief for the Shanghai Nanking area, replacing Kane Matsui. Also reassigned were Lt General Prince Yoshuhiko Asaka and Lt General Heisuke Yanagawa. The moves aim to reorganize central China forces to advance along the Sunghai corridor, as Chinese defenses stall north of Nanking and along the Lunghai line. Japanese gains north of the Yangtze and at Hangchow remain limited with a widening hole between Pengpu and southern Shantung.
