Nanking Bombarded Amid Civilian Slaughter by Japanese Air Raiders
Amid protests, Japanese air fleets bombed Nanking twice, killing hundreds and burning refugees in straw huts. Civilians suffered massive casualties in the Hsiak Wan slum as fires raged and bodies burned. American and British warnings failed to prevent strikes on dense districts and railway stations. Japanese planes clashed with Chinese defences, with several raiders reportedly shot down. Ambassador Johnson planned to remain, and the embassy narrowly escaped damage as the capital endured another air raid.
