Nationalists Evacuate Nanchishan Island Under Red Pressure
Nanchishan island was abandoned by Nationalists as Chinese Reds gained a bloodless victory in the civil war. The evacuation, claimed to be without U.S. help or Red interference, involved about 5,000 troops and the island’s garrison. Fortifications were destroyed and supplies moved to Formosa. All evacuees, more than 2,000 residents, left safely for Formosa with no one remaining. The move shifts front lines toward the Matsu group, leaving Quemoy as the only Nationalist hold near U.S. defended waters.
