After mopping up around Mukden, handsome Communist Commander General Lin Piao, once Chiang Kai-shek's star student at the Whampoa Military Academy, will be able to mass some 250,000 Red troops for a southward thrust at Peiping and General Fu Tso-yi's North China corridor.

Changchun itself, which the Japanese had planned as the modern stone & steel capital city of Manchuria, was surrounded., The big iron works at Anshan (or what remained after Russian removals following V-J day) were at the edge of the Nationalist line, 55 miles south of Mukden. Communists pressed nearer the great open-pit coal mines at Fushun...
