Aided by American planes, the Chinese have succeeded in nullifying a greater part of the successes won by the Japanese in their great offensive of early summer. Although Japan still holds the important air bases in Chekiang province seized several weeks ago, the Chinese have recently recaptured a number of towns in the area, including Kienteh, thirty miles north of Kinhwa, and Tsirig-tien, a few miles from the important city of Wenchow. The Chinese have also reoccupied a short stretch of the Hangchow-Namchang railway and thus, temporarily, at least, disrupted Japanese plans to link Shanghai. and Canton by rail as part of a grandiose Shanghai-to-Singapore rail project.
