With only about two brigades at his disposal, General Lung Yun, the G.O.C. in Yunnan, has made no plans to drive out the Communists but is concentrating all efforts in safeguarding Yunnanfu, alias Kunming, the pro- vincial capital.

From there the Com- munists can march farther into Yunnan, return to Kweichow or penetrate Into Kwangsi. It is likely that the Redrify-raff will either attack Yunnanfu or proceed northward in the direc tion of Stechnen.
