1. The hinese CoMmunist offensive in Korea, named operation Revenge,
scheduled for 18 SepteMber? was postponed until sometime before
13 October for the following reason.:
a. The Japanese Communists objected. They have handled intelligence
for the Chinese Communists and have reported that within the past
four months 16,0000000 Koreans have been organized into an anti?
Communist force, which is built around the Democratic Party of
South Korea. If an offensive should penetrate South Korea this
force of organized guerrillas would make administration extremely
difficult and would interdict lengthy supply lines. The Japanese
Communists have also Sent direct communications to the Soviet

Socialist economy.
The Chinese are aware that the present stage in Korea is extremely
out During receht meeting!, of the Politburo in Maden, 120
dgOnda items were passed over to discuss problems of staging this
adventurous war*
The Chinese are making demands for extensive use by the Soviets of
their Air Force in the Korean War* they are reqUesting the Soviets
to strike United States Air Force installations on the Neukyus and
Nagoya, and airfields at Sapporo, Aomori, Amawardbi, Niigata,
Taohikawas ItiCarazue Atsugi? Waive Kobe, sure, Fukuoka and Kagoshima
al Japan proper* The Chinese have also requested a major air battle
Oter Korea which implies a Soviet comitment of 1,000 planes? The
Soviets, Korea,
have 600 planes in Manchuria of which 65 are long-
range types (111-70 and TU-4)* Until 18 September the Soviets had
shown no response to these demands.
5* New Soviet tactical airfields, deaeared for the support of two armored
regiments and five artillery divisions are now concentrated on the
mestere front and have as a center, Yonoh,on (127-05, 38-06), Those
airfields are west of the PyongyangeKaesong railkoad and north and
south of Sincheen (125-30, 38-21), covering an area from Chaeryongeang
to Sinmonni (125e40e 38-12)* In order to avoid expected ground fire,
the plate's would use a standard flight corridor off Inchon (126-38, 37-28)0
6. A major ground battle mould be fought on 500 hale. between Opyongni
(12743e 37-00) and Kwimoktong (127-24, 37-56)* The purposes Of this
offensive would be to create equilibrium between the western and
eastern fronts, to regain the initiative, to bring pressure to affect
the Kaesong peace talks, and to use a shooting war for a foundation
for a cold war with the ultimate objective of bringing the negotiation
for a cease fire to a satisfactory conclusion, not of driving the
enemy into the sea*
