There was some excitement on the North China plain where a guerilla unit stopped

units rested nearby - in spite of their victory yesterday they needed rest and supplies.
The run of the Camp John Hay column also came to an end - it had captured two
towns and was about to capture a third when bombers and airborne troops rained
on it - literally.

There was some excitement on the North China plain where a guerilla unit stopped
a train with a major HQ - but in the end it was too small for its task. Exhausted IJA
units rested nearby - in spite of their victory yesterday they needed rest and supplies.
The run of the Camp John Hay column also came to an end - it had captured two
towns and was about to capture a third when bombers and airborne troops rained
on it - literally.

taken from FLAK yesterday, no diver bombers (which must dive low) came and

effective ceilings. The reduction of Chuhsien, China continues, with reduction of
fortifications to zero - at considerable expense to the assault troops.
