New Battles Brewing In China
In Nanking on Monday Nationalist and Communist armies plan for possible new campaigns in China s civil war. National Defense Ministry attempts to raise thirty new provincial armies while each field army averages about 15 000 men, aiming for roughly 450 000 additional troops. The Communist radio accuses Nationalists of preparing to recruit 2 500 000 more soldiers behind a peace facade. Government units that surrendered in North China are being absorbed by Red forces under Lin Piao as Fu Tie yi s garrison at Peiping is screened. Government prospects to raise thirty new armies look dim amid weapon shortages and weak enthusiasm.
