Two Nationalist army groups reported today racing to establish a new defense line to save Nanking from advancing Chinese Communists. Diplomats expect a government reply within 24 hours that Nanking may no longer be safe. The government cut air links to Suchow and redeployed forces to defend the capital as a new defense site rose on the Huai river south bank, 100 miles northwest of Nanking, while the 12th Army Group faced Red columns nearby. The Suchow garrison moved to aid the defense, airlift halted, and orders directed troops to relieve the trapped forces.
