On the south shore, buildings at Jones Beach were blown toward the sea instead of back into the bays.

The main Japanese force, supported by the navy, threatened heavily fortified Tienchiachen, in the narrow gorges of the Yangtze River 100 miles below Hankow. At week's end Chinese Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's best troops withstood a second heavy Japanese assault at this point. The capture of Tienchiachen would almost certainly cause Hankow's fall in short order...
