Military authorities this morning stated that Japanese forces have occupied Langfang station and are slowly driving Chinese forces up [toward] river; that the Japanese have demanded Chinese forces involved withdraw to other side of Yungtingho but are not very optimistic of compliance; that the Chinese have had heavy losses, and that Japanese losses are also believed to be considerable [although they] have no positive knowledge because communications are cut off.
