Fierce fighting surrounds Shanghai as Marines pull back briefly
In Shanghai on October 5, U S Marines faced heavy bombardment from Japanese warplanes and fought near the Chapei and north station areas. Japanese claims of air superiority contrasted with Chinese resistance that forced a temporary Marine withdrawal before reoccupying positions. Chinese and Japanese lines stood mere yards apart amid cratered streets and exploding warehouses. The Tumble Inn area became a fierce fortress as snipers and machine guns dominated the streets. Separate reports note Japanese bombing near Taiyuanfu and the reported execution of Li Fu-Ying for failing to hold Tatungfu, ordered by Yen Hsi-shan.
