Only yesterday it was reported that detachments of the 1st Army hnd marched westwards to Poyang Lake (the dividing line between Nanking And Hankow influence) and that the 6th Army men there had retired towards Hankow.
The 1st Army was formerly com manded by General Chiang Kai-shek himself (ie, before he became com- mander-in-chief) whereas the 6th Army is under General Ching Chien who has thrown in his lot with Hankow.
