Architect of this victory was General Wang Yao-wu, a peppery, 40-year-old Shantung man. Stocky, muscular and tanned, like most Shantung peasants, he has a ferocious temper, a vivid and profane vocabulary. He is of the very core of the old Chinese Army, a Whampoa Academy cadet who fought his way up from platoon to army group commander. But in Hunan he used methods long neglected in China...

The occupation of Kwangchowan, a French-leased area, gave the Japanese a chance to build airfields to offset U.S.-operated fields in South China, but its main point was to calk the greatest chink in the South China blockade. In Shantung Province, one of the areas occupied by the invader in the first year of the war, the Japanese have in the past two months car ried on a campaign against Chinese guer rilla forces who had assisted in smuggling. Operations against the Chinese border from Burma seemed designed to consolidate...
