Japanese land on South China coast in Western Xiangtung
Reports from Chungking today say a Japanese force landed on the South China coast in Western Xiangtung Province. The force, already about 10,000 strong and reinforced hourly, was supported by cavalry. The landing is tied to Japan's aim of using French Indo China and British Burma as escape routes for the Chungking government. Chinese dispatches deny a direct threat to Kwangsi, but confirm a growing push toward Yamhsien, about 25 miles from the Kwangsi border, with reports of continued Japanese advances toward Yamhsien last week.
