SHANGHAI FALLS! CHINESE SUICIDE SQUAD HOLDS WAREHOUSE AGAINST DRIVE
(Photograph by George Krainukov and Norman Alley)
SHANGHAI.--The mighty Japanese military machine finally forces gallant Chinese defenders to abandon their war-torn metropolis. But for days, 300 Chinese soldiers, sworn to death, hold a warehouse in Chapei, keeping their National flag waving above the building while they beat off the fury of 40,000 Nipponese attackers. In the end, the defenders are safely evacuated by British Tommies. Enthusiastic Chinese and foreigners, eager to acclaim the heroism of the men who stood fast in the face of certain death, mob the trucks that carry the men into neutral territory.
JAPANESE PRESS FORWARD THROUGH RUINS
DESOLATION AND SMOULDERING RUINS greet the Japanese as they seek to secure their advance around the once-magnificent city. Wide areas still burn, or reek with the smoke of destroying fires. Waves of Nipponese troops move relentlessly onward as heavy artillery wipes out big buildings right before the camera lens. Refugees by the thousand are caught in the maelstrom of war, many of them mowed down by shells and bullets, while others try vainly to find safety in the International Settlement. Machine-gun fire surrounds fleeing civilians, some of them carrying feeble mothers or fathers on their weary backs. Chinese troops dig in for another valiant stand in defense of their native land.
