Attack Made On Yangtze River Port
CHUNGKING July 21 The United States escorted bombers sank two Japanese ships of 1000 to 2000 tons each at the Yangtze river port of Huklang southeast of Hankow. The raid challenged Japan's air control over the waterway supply route into China. China plans to seek more planes and military supplies from the United States. Chiang Kai-shek and Gen Cheng Tsejen discuss manpower, with China claiming 7,000,000 new soldiers could be raised over three years. Japanese forces reportedly retook Wenchow, while Chinese hold Juan, and movements around Sunyang and the Chekiang-Kiangsi road widen the wedge along the route.
