Guns Roar as an Answer to Chiang Plea
Milks reports continued fighting across north Kiangsu and Henan as Chiang Kai-shek pushes a peace plan. Communist Yenan radio claimed red forces overpowering government divisions near Tukan and Lungsai railway areas while 5,000 government troops reportedly surrendered and 3,000 comrades were killed or wounded. In Taeping an independent paper said communists breached Talung defenses within seven tenths of a mile east and neared Tatung. U.S. Marine commander Brig. Gen. Clement said only one battalion would be kept as reserves. Chiang demanded the communists renounce their party’s approach and welcomed peace talks but insisted on military restraint. The six point program urged dissolution of the current government and a national assembly on November 4 with broad party participation and adherence to truces and constitutional rules. The report noted no mention of General Marshall or Ambassador Stuart’s peace prospects.
