SHANGHAI, Wednesday, April 8 —(CLP)— Japanese armies cm the eastern central front, acting on orders of War Minister Gen. Sugiyama to advance immediately on the important railway junction at Suchow, today pressed southward in Kiangsu province and attacked Husian.
Husian is eight miles south of the strategic city of TailerhchWang, where the Chinese main lines were demoralized in two weeks of fierce fighting, and about 38 miles north of Suchow where the North and South Tientsin - Nanking railway crosses the East-West Lunghai line.
Considerable fighting continued in the vicinity of Tailerhchwang. where the unoccupied southwest corner of the town still was covered by Chinese artillery units which prevented an advance in that direction and forced the Japanese to swing east before moving on to the south.
