Chinese defense and Japanese offensives in China during October
In Chungking, Chinese forces prepared a “Stalin grad” defense at Kweilin after temporarily halting a Japanese attempt to outflank the U.S. air base. Other Chinese units won minor gains against a new Japanese push in Fukien, recapturing a village near Foochow. Stilwell reported that U.S., British, and Chinese troops near the Salween and Yunnan roads near junctions would restart supply routes. Despite the offensives, Allied air losses were limited as the 14th air force claimed 168,000 tons of Japanese shipping sunk in September. The Tokyo broadcast claimed heavy U.S. airfield damage, a claim not independently confirmed. Chinese forces behind Japanese lines in Kwangtung retook Loting and dislodged invaders near Wanton, though the wider drive toward Linchow continued.
