THE WAR FRONTS

CHINA: What Japan chose to call the
--W "*"""** "China Incident" entered its sixth
year of bloody warfare last week with the
American Volunteer Group fighting the invaders
as a regular unit of the U. S. Army Air Forces. An
unprecedented order of the day issued jointly by
Secretary of War Stimson and Secretary of Navy
Knox pledged that the American Army and Navy
would fight with China to expel the aggressor
"from every foot of Chinese soil."
After closing the 50-mile gap giving them control
of the railway from Hangchow to Nanchang,
the Japanese were reported driving southwest into
Hunan Province. This was aimed at grasping control
of the railway that connects the HangchowNanchang
Railway with the Canton-Hankow Railway.
(See China map.) At the same time the
Chinese blocked another Jap drive north from
Canton.
This campaign is part of the major move to control
a railway that could be extended from Shanghai
to Singapore. This railway would connect
Manchukuo, China, Indo-China, Thailand and
Malaya, thus easing the Jap coastal shipping
problem.
Summary of the A. V. G. operations before they

joined the regular Army Air Forces disclosed 284
Jap planes destroyed at a cost of 15 men killed or
missing. In air action reported last week the Allied
Air Force sank a gunboat at the Yangtze River port
of Hankow and wrecked Jap planes there and at
Canton.

RUSSIA 
A full-fledged Nazi offensive on
H RUSS'A    the central front drove a spreading
wedge 120 miles eastward from Kursk
to Voronezh, situated on the eastern side of the
River Don. Berlin sources claimed their forces had
taken the city but this was denied by the Russians
who described how German attempts to hold several
bridgeheads thrown across the Don River had
been thrown back.
The serious nature of the new Nazi drive was
further emphasized by their capture of Staryi
Oskol, 65 miles southwest of Voronezh.
Voronezh is an important link in the railroad between
Moscow and Rostov. While the German
thrust in this sector toward the Caucasus oilfields
had been diverted to the north, it gravely
threatened communications between the Russian
armies on the northern and southern fronts.
The Red Air Force was credited largely for blocking
the Germans at the Don River. Soviet planes
wrecked Nazi pontoon bridges and thus prevented
aid from crossing.
German casualties before Voronezh were reported
the heaviest on any battlefield of the
whole war.

WESTERNEUROPLUnits of the U. S.
C  ' ^  Army Air Forces
in Britain struck their first blow against the
Axis last week in a daylight raid with the RAF.
Flying American-made British planes that belonged
to the British, Douglas A-20-A twin motored
bombers, the Americans blasted enemy planes
and installations at Nazi airdromes in the Netherlands
and even included a whack at Nazi coastal
patrol ships. Two of the six planes manned by
Americans failed to return.

British Gliders
Steadily preparing for the invasion of
the continent, Britain trains glider pilots
to ferry an air-borne army to where
it may be needed in a hurry. After

casting off from tow planes these big
transport gliders can land quietly in
a relatively small area where troops
con immediately set up o strong point.

Summarizing three months of air fighting. Gen.
MacArthur's headquarters reported that Allied
planes ranging over a 2000-mile front off of Northern
Australia, destroyed or crippled 284 Jap planes.
lap raids dropped from 28 in April to 6 in June.

CONVOYSO In Arctic Sea naval action
a Russian submarine torpedoed
the 35,000-ton Nazi battleship Tirpitz
while the Germans claimed they had sunk 32 vessels
of a 38-ship convoy bound for Russia which the
Nazis claimed included one heavy U. S. cruiser.
The Nazis denied damage to the Tirpitz which
Moscow reported as seriously damaged by two
torpedo hits. A British source recalled that the
last German claim of damage to a northern convoy
was exaggerated 175 per cent.

G   Commanding air superiority in
the North African fighting, the
Allied forces made the Axis dig in before
El Alamein. At the same time British tank units
cut sharply into Field Marshal Rommel's advance
positions and one unit penetrated behind
the main battlefield to 30 miles west of El Alamein,
taking prisoners and destroying tanks south
of El Daba. The British tank attacks were aimed
at Rommel's right flank.

Evidence that Rommel was expecting supplies
and reinforcements over his extended 310-mile
line from Tobruk was seen in renewed attacks
made on the island of Malta, In the past these
attacks have been made to shield Axis convoys
passing from Italy to North Africa.
Tune 12 was revealed as the date of the first
battlefield encounter between the U. S. and GerJD^%
