After capturing Chengteh with surprising ease, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's armies were closing in on Chihfeng, last big Communist base in Jehol. Purpose of the campaign: to clear the railroad from Peiping to Mukden and to free from Communist threat the Government corridor from North China to Manchuria.
