BUY WAR BONDS 4KV : "To have and to hold" MEDFORD COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY JAPS FORCED 10 RETREAT IN PATH E! By George Wang United Press Correspondent ' American Field Headquarters, Hunan Province, May 16 U.R) An authoritative American source said today the Chinese army's Hunan province counter attack has recovered roughly 2, 700 square miles of territory and driven the Japanese back to within 18 miles of Paoching, base for the ill-fated enemy drive on Chihkiang air field. The Chinese have forced the Japanese back as much as 73 miles. The enemy troops are now 110 air line miles from the U. S. 14th air force base at the nearest point. Two weeks ago they were within 39 miles of Chihkiang on the east. Jap Lines Cut American observers said the Chinese, using flanking and rear attacking methods, have cut the Japanese advance line along the Paoching-Chihkiang highway in to pockets, trapping groups to talling 7.000 Japanese troops. The Chinese are fighting viciously despite inferior land weapons, backed up by the air power of the U. S. 14th air force and American medical and sup ply aid. American air power has com pensated for Japanese superior ity in heavy artillery, enabling the Chinese to batter three crack enemy divisions and account for 11,000 Japanese casualties In re cent battles in Central China. A Chungking communique an nounced that American airmen, roving through Hunan, Honan and Kupeh provinces Sunday and yesterday, killed 700 Japa nese troops, damaged 19 locomo tives, sank two river craft and damaged a gunboat. .
