Military Leaders Meet To Check Communist Drive
Shanghai, September 12,
Top level military conferences were held in Nan- king, Hankow and Heuchow, the Nationalist East China headquarters in North Kiangsu, in the past 24 hours to finalise plans for chocking the all-out Communist offensive expected some time this autumn, pro-Government despatches reported today.
Although the nature and scope of the plans are be-
ing kept a strict secret, Nationalist leaders are said to hold the belief that the main Com- munist effort in coming weeks will be centred on the important Central China region cover- ing five provinces--Honan, Shantung, Kiang- su, Anhwei and Hupeh. The meeting in Nanking was.||
