SHANGHAI, April 9 (UP) - Chinese troops on the central front have inflicted a serious defeat on the Japanese and, their morale high, are seeking to turn the defeat into a disaster, reports from the battle lines said today.
A United Press staff correspondent with the Chinese army confirmed that the Chinese had retaken Taierhchwang, northeast of Hsuchow and that the Japanese were retreating northward, abandoning their motorized equipment.
In the rear of the Japanese, as they retreated, Chinese irregulars were ripping through the Japanese communications line and cutting off supplies. Chinese asserted that a mixed army of guerrillas and irregulars had reached the suburbs of Tsinan, an important city on the Tientsin-Nanking railroad, and a Japanese base for operations over the entire northeastern front.
It was asserted officially at Hankow late today that Chinese troops had stormed and taken the eastern suburbs of Tsinan and were attacking the southern suburbs.
