...Chinese War Ministry announced "the most brilliant military feat of the entire war," with the capture of the outposts of the city of Nanchang and the destruction of 20,000 out of 56,000 Japanese troops. But it was neither so brilliant nor so bold a victory as Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek won in his own capital, Chungking...

Because a single lucky or well-aimed bomb can back up several days' traffic in no time, Chiang Kaishek's Government has in recent months depended increasingly on the flow of goods through Kwangtung Province, southernmost in China...
