Nationalist military quarters were reported agreed that. the outcome of the battle will determine if Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek can hold his capital at Nanking through the winter. The battleground is centered on Suhsien, where 18 Communist columns are fighting to hold off a northern assault by thrée Nationalist groups under Gen: Tu Yi» ming and a southern assault by other Nationalist. forces from Pengpu. Chiang Force Halted Front reports sald Gen. Tus force was virtually halted by the Communists north of Suhsien but that the southern attack had driven 15 miles north of Pengpu to recapture Tsaolaochi.
