SHANGHAI, April 18 (P) Japan
ese launched strong attack In the
Llnl sector today, precipitating a ma
jor battle In which they aparently
were determined to avenge the aerlea
of stinging defeats they have euffer
ed recently at the hands of the Chi
nese In central China.
pierce fighting was reported In the
southeast Shantung province war
zone, where both Japanese and Chi
nese have been massing reinforce
ments and ammunition for a decisive
engagement.
Prentice at stake
With the Japanese sworn to re
venge the disastrous setbacks around
Talerchwang. they were staking their
military prestige on the outcome of
the battle.
Equally resolute, the Chinese were
fighting to break up the Japanese
campaign against central China and
reconquer all their lost territory.
Striking southward along the Tl
river, the Japanese sought to reach
the strategic city of Suchow. Junction
of the Lunghal and Hlentsln-Pukow
railways 80 miles southwest of Llnl.
While opposing armies locked In
crucial battle near Unl. severe con
flict continued around Ylhslen and
Tsaochwang. 70 miles to the west,
where Japanese have been driven back
to precarious defensive positions.
Harrisons Encircled
Japanese garrisons at Ylhslen and
Tsaochwang were encircled and com
pletely cut off from bases to the
north, Chinese advices said. Chinese
guerilla troops have distributed lines
of communications by persistent raids
far behind the battle front.
Dispatches from Chinese sources as
serted thousands of Japanese soldiers
had been slain In the recent Shan
tung fighting, but there were no au
thentic figures.
Thousands of fresh Chinese troops
have marched Into the Llnl sector In
the past few days, powerfully rein
forcing southeast Shantung defense
lines In expectation of a Japanese of
fensive there.
It was estimated more than 1.000.
000 men were Involved In operations
of the opposing armies In the south
Shantung zone.
