During the last week in Nugust and the first week in September 1951, the
northbound military train traffic through Tientsin was very heavy. Dur-
ing this period over 130 trains left for Mlanchuria, 80 of which were from
iankow via Chungchowl and Suchow. Fifty of these were loaded with troops
and ammunition. according to train attendants, a rough estimate of the
total number of troops was over 60,000, including two armies of the !t
Field army and one army each of the 2 and 3 Field armies?
Presumably this is Chenghsien (113-40,, 34-45).
