Nationalists See Definite Threat Of Red Invasion
In Formosa, Quempoy garrison chief Gen Liu Yuechang told Central Daily News the Chinese Nationalists foresee a definite invasion from the Red mainland. He warned any attack would be smashed and claimed they could deliver a larger thrashing than in 1949.
