Feng has several shock" units of picked mon, armed with Mauser pistols and the old heavy Chinese sword, and intensively trained in physical exercises. Hand-to-hand they would be formidable But how near would they ever get lo the Japanese!
China's arsonals are like hor army, a large number, and much meney has been spent on foreign machinery, but only three or four of them are of any account. Of guns bigger than 75mm, she has none. But her best troops are fair. ly well equipped with machine-guns, and trenchmortara, which are very popular with Chinese generals. The Nanking and Fengtein armies høve a few tanks, bought from England and France.
