Soviet Airmen Running China Red Air Force April 1 Date Set For Red China's Formosa Assault HONG KONG (INS) — Russian military officers were reported today to be "completely running” the Red Chinese air force and training 110,000 Korean-tested Communist troops as paratroopers for an assault on Formosa. The target date for the attack on Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek's island stronghold —a combined air and sea operation—was said to be tentatively set for next April. This Information, -which documented details of the Soviet stranglehold on Chinese air power, to now in the hands of allied officials: ' H It was brought out of Red China through several channels, the most recent being a Communist air force officer who fled to nearby Portuguese Macao and now is in Hong Kong. The officer is attempting G 5 win sanctuary lin Nationalist Formosa and until then his name cannot be used. His plaim to inside information, however, is considered acceptable. Together with reports from Taipeh of concentrations of powerdriven junkp seen along the mainland coast, the indication is strong that the Peiping regime is determined to carry through an eventual attack' on Formosa despite American warnings they will have to run over the U. S. seventh fleet. Officials familiar with ’ Communist Chinese tactics claim the Reds could kick off an assault against Formosa with some 200 bombers and 400 fighters and follow through this softening up with an Initial airborne assault of 50,000 men and another 100,000 by sea. The second wave could include another 50,000 paratroops and 100,000 seaborn soldiers. Naval sources in Hong Kong estimate the Reds could put to sea a fleet of as many as 12,000 sail and power-driven Junks — toughtimbered boats that are a lot more powerful than .they seem and collectively the possible superior of American destroyers. Against this, the Nationalists have 100 miles of sea and roughly 300,000 combat troops scattered over Formosa and off-lying islands. One sign of how thoroughly the Red Chinese are building up was disclosed in available details of their Russian-sponsored air force. According to the officer who fled to Hong Kong "the organization of the Communist Chinese air force is hut the expansion of. the Soviet afr force to the China mainland,'” He was assigned to both the southern' and central sectors where he found "supreme authority" originating in an "advisory office" consisting of 37 Russian air force officers, many of general rank. _ The Communist air force is built around light jet bombers and fighter, interceptors, and just enough transports to carry through an airborne assault. This Chinese force is the match of the tiny Free Chinese air force and what available air power the United Sta(es\ias ready to throw into a battle to support the seventh fleet. An overall Far East comparison between combined Russian - Chinese air might and free world forces give the Reds a two to one lead, according to U. 8. intelligence sources.
